Finishing My Kx250 2 Stroke Drag Shifter Kart!

[@VasilyBuilds]

Sorry Guys I made a mistake and had to re-upload the video. This one's a banger 🔥

[@carlosmalagon3889]

Can you do a review of your new welding machine you got a while back?

[@giwrgosdiesel7932]

Are you from grecce because vasily is basic Greek name

[@andrejmalik5596]

no i think he is from russia

[@andrejmalik5596]

but i am not sure

[@giwrgosdiesel7932]

@@andrejmalik5596 ok thnx

[@Nunya_Bidnez]

So good to see you back in action. Lets go Vasily. I would add a raked skid plate to the front due to It being so low in case you hit something to keep you from coming to a compete stop. basically to make you jump over it. imagine if you hit a curb for instance. Food for thought.

[@elioliver9554]

Yeah it'll prevent cracked/bent/broken frame and bones

[@burntorangeak]

Note: If you apply pressure to your brake calipers before tacking the brackets in place it will ensure that the pistons ride perpendicular to the rotor.

[@leroyadrianesbernardoadria3320]

Nice new upgrade parts in shifter kart

[@leroyadrianesbernardoadria3320]

Shotout for leroy adriane s bernardo from philippines

[@Blessedlungs]

Build some ducts for the radiator that run from somwhere towards the front into the radiator to increase flow since ur head is covering alot of it, some kind of scoop would be cool

[@StanleyKubick1]

radiators need to be mounted with bushings. especially on 2 strokes.

[@ronniewilliz153]

Thw vibration is insane on these 2 strokes an its the same with my nitro rc cars an trucks so much vibration its insane but you gotta love them high rpms tho lol

[@mimounazdad9195]

Nice to see you stronger than ever!!!

[@adampaganelli4891]

Looking better every time! Definitely a good idea to go to a bigger radiator set up🤟🏼

[@VasilyBuilds]

Thanks brother! 🤙

[@benc8386]

Great video and good to see you using that leg again! Keep walking and don't worry about running or jumping for now. Those things will come back.

[@DanITGuy]

Great to see your healing well! Love the edits to the chassis! You will have much better Ackerman and that rear axle will be way stronger! Nice Work!

[@REDRUM12345678910]

Great build, only thing I would maybe do different is relocate the radiator, if the radiator were to boil over it will be spewing hot coolant all over you.

[@ajwilliams8409]

Love the build dude watched since the start, I might recommend some shrouding around the radiator on the sides like it would on the actual dirt bike !

[@jaydensdream714]

Perfect seat mounts. The stand-offs bare all the weight against the frame. Clamps just keep it all in order

[@urospetrovic5228]

Smart decision to upgrade brakes on start ! Everything else can be done but first you have to be able to stop LOL :) Wish you luck and to reach what you want with this project !

[@Darthvolvo]

Congrats on your return! Watched your video earlier. I enjoy watching the shifter cart build. Keep up the good work

[@VasilyBuilds]

Thank you! 🤙😊

[@BatesAutomotive]

Happy you are back

[@ricerneon399]

Love to see your getting better and back up and building. I just recently bought a 1987 Kawasaki 650sx standup jetski. I reabuilt the engine its ready to go other then a new stator. Now sanding it down for a new paint job.

[@kevintakalo427]

when i was about 18 years old. I put a 25r honda atc engine in a sprint go kart chassis! That thing was the fastest thing i have ever driven! zero to sixty in a flash! Loved that thing! really enjoyed your build! Brought back some nice memories!

[@hamsterracing3983]

Fantastic to see you back up and working buddy, I'm currently builing a cbr600rr powered ktm enduro bike, this idea came from watching your videos 👍

[@VasilyBuilds]

That's Awesome!

[@anthonygarcia1762]

I'm loving the frame looking super rigid

[@parkerbirch9374]

Just found your channel loved everything about it. The cart, your work, your ideas, and the way you make videos. Thanks, a big thumbs up!

[@hanksworkshopmisterfixall1217]

Glad to see that you are back and healthy and looking forward to seeing more of your videos. God bless.

[@chrisjohn5015]

Bro I know nothing about cars but you make everything so simplified. 👍🏾👍🏾

[@CharlieBrown-pb9xn]

I think you should if possible add some triangulated horizontal support bars to your upper bearing support bars. On the rear or front of bearing carrier of rear axle. As close to bearing as possible.

[@julito3054]

You are a skilled builder Sir! Awsome mods! Incredible how a young so young like you has the brains and perseverance to complete one build after another! You come from a Great family...God Bless!

[@rodgercostello9814]

Some great quick thinking metal work indeed, looks great fun buggy when finished

[@Mikefestiva]

I’m glad you are feeling better now and back at it again! This is a awesome machine 🙂

[@VasilyBuilds]

Thanks man!

[@shippymcship364]

Good job using the fire blanket for the engine I can’t seem to get adults who are full journeyman to get that concept good job

[@frogglidd1951]

Love the bill whether video thank you

[@randygood3399]

Serious talent! Hope you are all healed up already.

[@TheDromen69]

Soooooo happy to see you so healthy. And that shifeter car, its insansane. I would do so fiber glass panels.

[@4thdimensiontravels855]

Man I can see you owning a high end fab shop in the future. You should be capable of building anything with the right tools. Keep it up man. You have a unique and special talent. Great quality work. And your very young! More kids should do this instead of video games.

[@sittinlow6787]

Glad to see you back to the old grind!! Hope your feeling much better and I’m looking forward to new vids

[@markssmallenginerepair1680]

Love the builds keep them up glad your getting better

[@halfnelson6115]

Good to see you back giving us more content. The cart looks sweet. Great job. Keep it up bro.

[@dealspeed6756]

Good to see you back, looking forward to watching you grow man you have dam good fab skills for someone so young so I know you can do this

[@Damian-cilr2]

always remember seatbelts👍 safety is what is needed in all cars/vehicles and im glad you recovered from that crash

[@seansgarage3178]

glad to see you back. Just pointing out that if you had positioned all the axle hangers with the opening facing up, it would be a hell lot easier to remove axle

[@VasilyBuilds]

Yes I did that for the sake of a few mm's of ground clearance

[@COOKIEMONSTER-zv4sf]

you should have put on some front brakes to. but any welcome back now you got some battle scar's to impress the ladies with. take Care and always remember safety first.

[@Toad_Moto]

Glad to see you back and doing better. Don't die in the future.

[@tazyt3388]

Rito mate your back in the game good to see your moving around well too .get that kart done n have some fun mate good onya cheers

[@Nunya_Bidnez]

Vasily add a skid plate to prevent you form coming to an abrupt stop if you case the front end so you will hop over anything higher than the chassis height. Food for thought.

[@GlennHolden]

Glad to see you bounced back so well. Be careful and take care.

[@somekidsdoingstuff777]

Looks great and I'm sure glad your back I needed some build vids to watch

[@steeltree-fabricatingandcu3796]

Good to see you back be safe brother !!!

[@Redneckmfg]

I thought for sure you would show off your Battle Scars !!!! WELCOME BACK !!! We missed your Uploads.. Rebuild is looking amazing !!!

[@Redneckmfg]

I commented too Soon … lol you waited till the very very very end to show off your scar....

[@VasilyBuilds]

Haha yeah

[@42Fab]

killin' it man, build looks great

[@VasilyBuilds]

Thanks Rich!

[@mikemiller9119]

I hope you have some pads to join your helmet. Lol. Maybe a full body pad suit. Glad to see you up and going again. We missed your crazy fabrications. 😉😉

[@kartnerds]

Well planned, well executed. Nice.

[@bobmiller7504]

Hose clamps will work fine but you want to put a beveled edge on both edges of clamping seat post holders so they can't slide off during the vibration from the cart and the motor keep up the great work man.

[@SarryLhackleford]

That shirt is life.

[@SMTT]

Nice to see you working again

[@esqueue]

Good to see you back. Perhaps a grill or some type of protector from your helmet to your radiator.

[@adamcrux6829]

My first video of your's and I'm happy to say I'm now a new subscriber. You have a ton of talent, keep up the videos and I'll keep watching. Awesome cart too!

amen brother glad 2 c u back

Dude your good on the seat stands a top file dragster uses saddle mounts and hose clamps for their 10,000 hp motors look it up and good to see you posting again and feeling better 🤙🏼

[@mxwizzard]

Glad to see you back at it

[@berniebartnick7080]

Keep it up brother you are doing good! You are awesome remember that!!!!!!!!!

[@boltonky]

Glad to see you back, and like all the updates sure there will be more in future. My 2 cents on this video is using "pillow bearing blocks" instead of your "live axle bearing holders" for strength/adjust-ability/longevity and come in lots of shapes/sizes/ratings. Also not a fan of hollow axles unless you are running a thick wall as gives to much allowance for torque twist and it warping under load also end should be sealed (i always run solid). Its all a learning experience but its reason i started asking professionals and tbh in my opinion after watching so many "gopowersports" sponsored videos i feel like quite a bit of there stuff isn't designed for what they/people use for eg. Tyres (there is no speed rating or temp) Honestly all just be careful, its all fun until something goes wrong and youtube is not a professional haha

[@whilethecitysleeps4928]

Yeehaw the fact that you never gave up like some youtubers very glad your back 🤜🏻🤛🏻🇦🇺💪

[@VasilyBuilds]

💯🤟😊

Dang man coming back with a bang! Good to see you back on your feet. Missed the premier of this video, but had to leave a like and a comment.

thank you!

[@bryduhbikeguy]

So glad to see you're up and...err..walking again.That re-build is so Bad Ace ! Let 'Er Rip,Vasily !

[@RomanovichAutoSurgeon]

Thanks sick! can't wait to come out and take a test ride lol.! Keep up the great work!

[@shanesmith9271]

Glad to see u back to work

[@Mad-Duk_Machine_Werkes]

Dual rear brakes is never needed, never seen a Kart that wouldnt stop or lock the rear end anytime you wanted with just the one? when I built my shifter the best addition was FRONT brakes!!!! that makes 200% difference in stopping power - Expensive, but well worth it

[@VasilyBuilds]

Got you I will look into it. I only put two on there because its more of a drag race setup than track setup

[@hch142]

who woulda thunk that installing seat mounts would be so technical. very enlightening vid

[@quadvloggs6876]

Super glad to see your back at it man and your leg still looks in rough shape man holy that must have been a worse crash then I thought it was

[@jeremykonkle4571]

Killin it yo. Sportin that scar well. Keep up the awesome work!!

[@daveshively3295]

Great to see you back...love the kart bro!

[@sixpacksandsrts9122]

Hose clamps are not mechanical fasteners. The picture you provided were actually pipe clamps the only thing holding a hose clamp together as one side of the threaded screw into the sheet metal body. Do yourself a favor and get some U bolts like exhaust hangers. But you got some good talents bud. Keep it up

[@JusttheEdge]

The clamps looked like t bolt clamps. He should be using something stronger.

[@Bird76Mojo76]

The hose clamps are only keeping his mounts from lifting or sliding left to right. The seat mount pipes are resting applying all of their pressure to the frame. The hose clamps only serve to keep it from moving left/right or lifting away from the frame.

[@sixpacksandsrts9122]

Bird76Mojo76 Yup. My reasoning for commenting this. Is there’s going to be s hundred thousand views on this vid at some point. A lot of which are going to be kids then going to build something. They will grab hose clamps to hold something structural together not knowing any better Especially after his explanation of them being used in race cars. Which Just is not true

[@tomriley1413]

Good job bud thank you for your video

[@Chase_01]

Life is a roller coaster you just have to enjoy the ride

[@bamamowersgarage8937]

It's great to see you back

[@magoxide7777]

I do like how you don't settle for "Good enough" you'll go back again and again untill you have got it exactly how you wanted it.

[@eamh2002]

This channel is gonna hit 1M in no time, glad to join the fun early :) rebuilding a 1995 swiss hutless myself aswell with a 1986 cr125 engine its gonna rip

[@toddpeixinho1236]

Great video. Kart looks awesome. Be safe

[@MJPunit]

Its looking really good. You should try the hot wheels build, seem to be the craze at the moment. Looks awesome though, been waiting for a follow up video. Glad your back

[@Toyotas_n__Tools]

This channel is awesome dude! You should get the milwaukee m12 fuel hacksaw and the 3inch wheel cut off tool, and the m12 fuel drill and driver kit.

[@BTR2018]

This thing is going to be a sick thing!! Glad your back!!

[@carlreed234]

You are the man!!

[@aeror115]

My neighbors would love this thing 😂🤙

[@steveavis4642]

I just subscribed to your channel, because that's an impressive build! I worry about the radiator location. When my son was at Villanova studying engineering, they put two smaller radiators in front of the rear wheels, on their 3/4 scale formula 1 race car. Never had any overheating problems.

[@user-neo71665]

Your ackerman is still way postive even in all 3 of those holes. The straight edge you are holding up there is supposed to go dead center of the rear axle and form a triangle with the wheels pointing straight ahead. You try to adjust the "fine tuning" with the tierods you are only gonna adjust the toe of the tire. With your setup I bet it gets squirrely at speed. In drag racing we use t bolt clamps, those worm clamps might work but I don't trust them. T bolt clamps are a lot stronger and don't strip out like worm drive clamps.

[@VasilyBuilds]

Yes I can verify, the innerrmost tie rod hole was pointing towards the center of rear axle. It was just the awkward camera angle. Will have to look into t clamps

[@bobwhite5440]

great to have you back, doing well and building stuff again. very nice build. t-bolt clamps sound good to me also. enjoy your vids. be safe.

[@user-neo71665]

@@VasilyBuilds k bud and yeah t bolt clamps are the way to go. They are not even special order stuff, I get stainless steel ones from my local oreilleys. Napa also carries them but I don't have one local anymore.

[@HEYY637]

You could put some radiator hose or some rubber inbetween those seat brackets and the frame to give some padding amd protect your paint when you paint it?

[@lawrencecarpenter638]

If top fuel cars use hose clamps to hold a 1500 hp motor in only using a single clamp on the four corners.U will have a better chance of flying out of the seat before the double clamp on each of your mounts breaks.And its the perfect way to give adjustability as u said.

[@victorhangaas6719]

you have to have rubber washers on the radiator mounts! if you have hard mounted mounts you risk the vibrations of the engine, the road and the stiff chassis will make it so the welds on the radiator can break, there is a reason they have rubber mounts

[@MegaKencam]

Nice to see you back in fighting form.

[@ryanhughes5731]

Glad to see you doing better man keep up the good work

[@codelicious6590]

Perhaps some kind of simple lightweight shroud or flaps off to the sides of the radiator to channel the air into it as it moves forward...if it turns out that your head blocks too much of it.

[@CharlieBrown-pb9xn]

This may seem a bit much but I think you should completely cage it with safety nets like a sprint car. would look awesome.
