Finnish Crosskart Challenge - Saukkolan EK 3.3.2013

[@peltikoppa]

Engine is from the Suzuki GSX-R750 :)

[@ddavis3599]

Are they homemade or can I buy one?

[@nzsaltflatsracer8054]

These have to be an absolute blast. Thanks for not fucking it up with crappy music.

[@codenamecordon]

NZ Salt Flats Racer yes, they are! Got to drive one on a wet roadcourse just this last saturday, and it was awesome!! Very direct, very instant, basically does anything you could ask it to do while being tremendous fun AND teaching you to drive. You climb in through the window with the steering wheel out the way. Three pedals, sequential shifter and super quick steering (about a turn lock to lock).

[@EnsVibes]

and this is why the finnish have the best rally drivers in history

It is much better in person. The sound that the engine makes at 16000 rpm is amazing!

[@donniebaker5984]

Thats why it will only take another ten to twenty years for us amercans to enjoy them ...and i cant believe california dropped the ball on this one as they are always first like dune buggies dragsters hot rods dirt bikes with paddle tires harleys crotch rockets shifter karts jet cars moster trucks girls on wheels bliding me with science ..i live in the racing capital of the world ...WHERE MY FUCKING CROSSKART

[@peltikoppa]

Actually they are very easy cars to drive with its fast steering, sequential gearbox and powerful brakes

[@kieranodonnell640]

Very short wheelbase and keen to spin out

[@paulhope3401]

Easy is relative to what you are used to I guess. Easier than a current WRC car? Probably not. They look to have a really huge steering lock angle. For what these cost compared to a rally car they offer incredible value. I'd love one. Cant imagine they would be allowed on traditional rally events... here in the UK at least.

[@peltikoppa]

@@paulhope3401 I haven't driven wrc cars so I don't know about them. Yes - it will take a while to get used to the crosskart, but when you start to feel the grip and the brakes, you can pretty quickly keep the control of the car . But finding the limits and push flat out, of course that's difficult.

[@hellNo116]

Looks like great fun. I wish I was able to drive one of those for a couple of days at least.

[@JB91710]

I hear that is illegal everywhere else because the fun factor is off the charts and would be dangerous to your Work Ethic.

[@djgrumpygeezer1194]

Way back to hell and gone ago, the Plattsburgh, New York SCCA chapter used to stage winter autocrosses out on the ice of Lake Champlain. I competed in a stock ‘69 Beetle and it was about the highest fun/horsepower ratio I ever experienced. I can only begin to imagine what a gas it would be to drive one of these little monsters!

[@apuuvah]

0-60 mph 3 seconds, 125 mph max.

[@Barnacules]

Finally Formula 1 rally :D

[@wayne3340]

I love the Finns, they're absolutely nuts!

[@johihesu]

Se on totta että pelisilmä on tärkeää olla mukana, mutta kun niitäki silmiä on niin monenlaisia ja vähän kaikenlaista jopa ammattilaistakin seassa jotka sitten pilaa koko homman maineen ja kilpailuissa on kuitenki turvallisuusvastuu jollakulla ja siellä tehdään sitte välillä vaikeitaki päätöksiä. Se että hyvähän se on kun kuvataan ja tallennetaan näitä juttuja ja tietty mahdollisimman turvallisesti...

[@darbyfluff]

Love it. Finally my dreams from 1/8th scale off road are coming true. Trophy trucks are ok, but I've been waiting to see something faster and more agile for off road racing.

[@uquark]

The sound is great, so beautiful

Could you legally take one of these on the road? Are they faster than normal rally cars?

[@emilwestgaardhenriksen1715]

put lights and stuff on and try and get it registered for the road, can't get worse than not getting legal anyway you'ld still be a happy maniac with one of theese :D

[@JosueGarciarace]

what rear axle do they use? do they have differential?

[@turtlemann14]

+Josue Garcia na, no differential. looks like sprocket on spool.

[@JosueGarciarace]

+jon “tweakit” spon so like a go kart chain and sproket?

[@turtlemann14]

yes more or less, except instead of the solid live axle in gokarts they are using drive shafts to connect to the hubs and a center section that is just supported by two bearings so that they can have independent rear suspension. looks like the single rear disk for the breaks is also on the same center section with the sprocket.

[@JosueGarciarace]

jon spon thanks for the info mate. I was thinking about building an offroad kart by putting a k20 fwd in the rear

[@turtlemann14]

you could, but the shifter linkage might get interesting. that and it might end up being a bit long.

Looks like alot of fun. What does it cost to build one of them Awesome machines. Awesome video. Santa clause I know what I want for Christmas. But for real whats a price to build one and the cost to ship to the USA

[@maddierosemusic]

I bet you are looking at $20 - $30,000. Looks cool as can be.

[@possibleproblem479]

thats some incredible driving. especially in that thing where all the weight is in the middle/rear i bet that things really snappy. not to mention on snow which isn't necessarily a bad thing. but you have to commit more than ever since if you bail mid drift in snow like that, you'll either be understeering into a tree or spinning out into the bank. not much room for error vs pavement where if you bail properly you have some chances of hooking up and getting through the corner ok if you slow down and get weight on the front wheels. plus in the snow you're always sideways; you could always have a bad entry, maybe it doesn't transition quick enough for the next corner, maybe you swayed a tad bit off the racing line so you have to compensate with more angle on the next corner, who really knows. and remember, all the weight is in the middle/rear. probably pretty snappy and responsive.

[@peltikoppa]

Thumbs up for the analysis 😁 from my own experience, they are pretty much understeering (at least on tarmac) in the corner entry if you fail to transfer the weight in the front wheels. So basically you need to turn the car with brakes and when the rear starts to slide, you control the angle with throttle and steering wheel

[@davidwilkinson8136]

This is the reason why they have had so many top rally drivers, that and the fact they pour Vodka on their cornflakes. Met a few of them in my travels and they are great company, if a little dangerous.

[@heathfiedler]

just wondering what sort of shifting setup these have, really cool though if I were to set something up fo a shifter I'd want something like a car but with the clutch as a hand grip so you can hit the clutch and shift all at once.

[@heathfiedler]

Opaali I see not to familiar with bike setup used to more of a quad sort that have a hand clutch which I just assumed these had lol.

[@ulle500]

There is a foot clutch but when shifting up it's not that necessary to use it

[@heathfiedler]

Opaali ah sounds cool guessing you're just shifting based on Ron she. going in though the gears as you go faster just using the clutch to down shift, nice.

[@Lucians_legacy]

Is the engine built for the chassis? Or is it taken from a bike?

[@BunkerBlog]

Do people build these themselves or do you buy them from a manufacturer?

[@simonwirz5947]

Are they using a chain differential or just a Gear on the drive shaft?
