Thanks for this video! My reverse came apart as well and you got me going with that internal bearing. I wasn't sure where it went!

[@naciremasti]

You definitely should've upgraded that clutch and variator. Also that starter motor while you had that engine outta the harness. Gonna have to do that down the road and that's time wasted now. Cool to see someone that's upgrading these type of buggy's. I love my green trailmaster xrx 150. You should look into the chinese EFI systems. Best $300 spent on mine. Takes some tuning with software but it's absolutely worth it because it does away with carb re jets. Good luck on your journey, these are hella fun when they're dialed in!

[@johnathonbilleter4781]

Where did you get the motor? Do you have a link

[@shenitabotticello432]

Love it bud. Following the same path as you. Cheers!

[@throttlefamily4655]

Thank you I’m so happy that it actually runs now! I got the other motor running but the rings were bad and it smoked a lot so instead of rebuilding the top end and the bottom end going after I figured I wanted something that is going to last us a long time.

[@73macrino]

That’ll be fun to tear up on the grass, and you are like the rest of us nuts, gotta take it out first to try it with no this and that 😆. Love it

[@throttlefamily4655]

That’s definitely me. I wanted to make sure everything was set up probably before I spent anymore money on the brakes, paint, seats, and all the other accessories I’m going to install. I just wished I would have thought twice about going up the hill it’s a lot steeper than it looks on camera.

[@73macrino]

throttle family the camera never gives the hills justice.

[@scmadness8433]

Man I remember when I had a hammerhead. I blew up the gy6 engine about 3 times during the summer, it was so much fun drifting it and driving trails and jumping stuff. The gy6 oil cooled 150cc engine was anything but reliable. The carburetor would clog up with gunk and the oil would leak. I still have a frame, but in not sure if I wanna mess around with it rn bc im building a vw baja bug and im only 17 and only work during the summer.

[@throttlefamily4655]

That would be awesome and you can always upgrade to the 200cc motor as well 👍I know how it is when money is tight but stick with it!

[@scmadness8433]

@@throttlefamily4655 yeah, two cars is already bad enough when your 17 and both of them costs 200+ a month lol. I will prob put a vw engine in one and upgrade the crap out of the gokart in the future once I save up an extra 2k.

[@giovannogalindo8785]

my brother recently bought the same go kart with those same issues burned oil smoked like crazy I convinced him to buy a top end kit for it and then starter clutch went out so it was time for a rebuild just got done putting it back together today runs great we'll see how long before it breaks down again

[@themotovloger9545]

Them dang 10 mm that happens to me all the time too. Great vid though Been wanting to see more go cart stuff. You probably could've made a predator 212 work but good to see you useing some what of a origanal motor. Thanks for the video was very cool and interesting.

[@throttlefamily4655]

The MotoVloger just wait til the next one. It’s getting a lot done to it rn.

[@themotovloger9545]

throttle family awsome can’t wait I’m definentally watching that as soon as I can keep up the great work man

[@throttlefamily4655]

The MotoVloger I’m just going to say Alissa and I have about 20 plus hours into it this week

[@witosarlaw]

Mantap bang.. saya juga lagi bikin mini go kart..😊🙏😁👍

[@ezekielvalenzuela9828]

At 5:48 do you know what that piece is or where I can find it or a part number, I have the exact same motor in my go kart but we’re missing that spacer looking thing that goes there. Please send help

[@jasonlogan5765]

I think some real science needs to be put into that 10 mm mystery when I go buy me a new one I have to get two or three cuz I know what's going to happen

[@witosarlaw]

Mantap bang

Thank you

[@Mxikanpkin]

I have a 150cc hammerhead just like the one on the videos and a friend of mine just gave me his wrecked Honda reflex 250cc with front end damaged but motor is in good condition do you think it would be a simple swap or maybe the shaft for the gear box might be larger or same

[@throttlefamily4655]

it depends i have seen people put street bike motors on these things

[@ltnmr588]

What’s the top speed of it

What size sprockets did you use

De que cilindrada es ese motor ??

If you had a brand new go kart whatever it’s called what battery should I use for it if I wanna run it normal

Hi si I have the same car but on the electric board it makes chip noise wondering if you know what it is

[@Skwerm87]

Hey jw .I got a 2008 hammerhead twister gt 150...I wanna put a new wiring harness on it and I ordered one and it's too short. I'm wondering if you know where I could get a wiring harness that goes from the front to back that fits

[@throttlefamily4655]

I custom made mine using the pre existing one

Did you try Hammerhead offroad .com.?

hello Bro I'm from Costa Rica and I have one with a 2oo motor if you like you can see it. I love these projects.

Can you post a link of the motor you bought please?

[@sadieescalera3693]

What model is your hammerhead

[@punkinsgarageandpaint8299]

We got a Yamaha scooter. We want to mount to a go cart..problem is shaft drive....you got any ideas?...or videos

[@throttlefamily4655]

I’ve seen people swap them out but I know I had to measure the shaft. You could possibly extend the frame or make new motor mounts

[@jasperdomacena6491]

why not jerry rig a pull start mechanism on that kickstart shaft? 🤷 in case the starter motor didn't worked in the middle of nowhere 😂

[@dakotabrandon1846]

do those motors come with a carb ?

[@throttlefamily4655]

I do not believe so

[@moltenpackage3712]

Could that motor go in a carter get 250

Dude you did not build a go-cart, You just put a new motor, I thought you were Building a cart.

[@throttlefamily4655]

I rebuilt the whole thing we ended up replacing almost every part on this whole thing I was going to upgrade the motor on it and put a Kx250f motor in it but plans ended up changing after I saw how expensive good suspension was going to be
