home made shifter kart part 1

[@patthesoundguy]

love the clutch design! it took me a few min to remember where I have seen a clutch set up like that. Go to the fair, the older rides like the ferris wheel and scrambler use clutch setups like that. Way cool.

[@Chickennuggetjoes]

Props on the diff idea, that's pretty creative

[@IamDODGEhearmeROAR]

Bevel gears with no energy loss? Sign me up! Seriously though, very clever idea and beautifully explains how some automatics can have a reverse gear by using the planetary gear set in a different combination of ways.

[@TheRabidfan]

the only reason the engine is bogging is because it's a sudden shift in energy. Think slip disks... It just needs to be more gradual, and if you figure it out, I think it'll work really well! And innovative.

[@trashtotransportations5857]

Dude that’s really interesting. I never would’ve thought of using a differential the way you did.

[@parleyk4503]

Your clutch system is genius! Even a centrifugal clutch would slip under heavy loads but that would never slip.

[@lezenfilms]

You're right, it would just make the right wheel spin backwards. Look closely at the white sticker at 7:26

[@mr.v5918]

parley Kelsch that is the point of a mechanical clutch but he is genius

[@kazoobros5444]

Ariel Lezen what does it say

[@theq4602]

I'd have made a centrifugal clutch outa of an old drum brake off a pickup truck.

[@diychad7268]

it only rotates 'backwards' when there is zero load/weight on the shaft........on the kart on the ground it wont be like that........look up how differentials work......

[@johnsalisbury316]

hi I like the differential idea but keep in mind that every time you shift gears while you are moving, you are changing the speed of the transmission input Shaft and everything that spins with it. With the differential, sprockets, and that heavy axle all connected to the input shaft, you are putting a great amount of stress on the gear selector device inside the transmission.

[@davidlatorre4258]

This gokart is gonna be a good one i can already tell.

[@gokartsminibikesandmore9925]

What gauge steel did you use for the band around where the break band is gonna go

[@stanlee6316]

I haven't really looked in the comments yet, but I'm sure I'm the umpteenth person to say this. Wouldn't it have been easier/more practical/repeatable if instead of building the drum brake clutch you'd just have used a small brake disc and caliper off a bike instead? That way anything that tears up or wears out could be easily (and cheaply) bought to repair it. Idk, just a thought. Really cool setup you have there though, either way. Great idea!

[@OliverMotorized]

I love how intricate/sophisticated it looks. Well done!

[@luvstruck2733]

This has been my favorite video so far, partially because of using the ring gear as a clutch. Absolutely outstanding idea, which made me want to take it a little farther. It seems plausible to me to remove the ring gear, and replace it with disc for a disc brake. I don't remember how the ring gear attaches to the planetary and spider gear setup. Another idea would be to find what kind of actual car clutch could be attached. Some machining would have to be done. Excellent video production. I especially like the fast hammering, and the music, also excellent. Getting the normal brake band to work, might still be the best idea, if it doesn't wear out to quickly. One more time everybody, This is a great idea, I don't care if somebody has thought of it before. A lot of people will surely be thinking of it now.

[@RobertPerrigoOkiechopper]

I admire you're drive, as time goes on you're going to be a journey man at a very young age. Never give up on your dreams & designs . A BIG THUMBS UP !

[@man.made.]

Hey, you can find your clutch setup inside the automatic transmission of a class in mini. It uses a series of diffs, each one adding onto the gear ratio. A system of brakes is used to select the gears.

[@alex_k1410]

Damn, that drill has some serious torque!

[@MrTheHillfolk]

Haha that ending was a hoot. First I hear a drill and I'm like wth is he doing ....can't wait to see part 2 !!

[@Mr3wheeledbike]

LOVE that clutch idea, i may not be orthodox, heck might not even work the best in practice, but it's a great out of the box solution!

[@jdflyback]

Look up "The D-Drive Infinitely Variable Geared Transmission" I think it is the same thing but instead of stopping the center gear with a brake it turns it with an electric motor.

[@diychad7268]

love the diff idea for the clutch.....too bad it is a big and bulky and heavy as it is cuz thats unsprung weight and that makes a huge difference......what is that diff out of??

[@ericlarreau5498]

awesome concept and execution so far... it looks like your frame will need some reinforcement... cool engineering, bro!!!

[@thomastt1963]

your Channel is my favorite! Keep your video's up!

[@Pressed_For_Time]

The next Colin Furze! I like it bro! can't wait for part 2!

[@MadazMazdas]

Was just going to say that! how good is he!

[@fjjkiv4504]

This thing is completely original and special, So splurge and go get either a tuning kit for the 6.5hp or get a 420 predator.

[@nicklouswalker192]

That was some hardcore fabrication.

[@Darwinpasta]

I like it! Hopefully the diff gears can take it.

[@spikemandan]

please tell me you put metal shims or plugs inside of the frame welds

[@noahsmith386]

where did u find the diff though i want to put one on one of my karts

[@grassulo]

11:27 What song did you use as the background music? I really like it, like they tuned their guitars down really low and it sounds cool.

[@benwilliamson2904]

Very cool man...cant wait to see how it turns out

[@Micscience]

I like the idea but I would be worried of how good the band brake would catch the sprocket. If anyone has ever gave the gas while holding the brake down knows that the engine always wins. Also happened on my 600cbr throttle jammed and the brake was no match so I crashed into a brick wall at 30 miles per hour. So if so we're I I would at least test the band brake with the gas pedal down and see which one wins. If you want to take off fast the acceleration is dependent on the braking power and the sprocket will be weaker since there is less surface area for the brake to grasp. Anyways this is all theory it's not absolute good luck.

[@stevelecain886]

genious !! this is awesome young man, I have been building stuff all my life and this is the first time I have seen this,,pure genious.I'm 58 yrs old and I have never seen this either.

[@clydeusa6596]

Tilting axle on side? No lube problem in axle gears? Also very creative thinking for clutch. Keep up good work

[@TheTruthBeToId]

Why don't you use a normal go cart clutch on the engine to relive some stress off the engine.

[@grassulo]

At 11:30 what is the music? This song has been stuck in my head for years now and I'd really like to know the artist and title, thanks.

[@MacroMachines]

I know why no ones done that. Because it's 50000 times easier to just buy a centrifugal clutch 👍 but still an awesome idea

[@JunkworksGarage]

i like the way you filmed this thanks for taking time to show some of the work that you did

[@Paaaull]

Part 2, now! :D This is very interesting. :)

[@moparcasey3135]

Veary cool!! I only worry about the gears in the diff. There gonna see a lot more abuse than in normal use. Keep thinking outside the box!!

[@RandomCrapGoesHere]

Its a good idea but wouldn't it be extremely inefficient? Not in the sense of drag from belts, but in the weight of the entire system, I'm sure the gearbox weighs a crap ton already but wouldn't that be more of an incentive to keep it light? Brilliant concept though

[@ivanmillar7084]

Hola!! Tienes alguna posibilidad de traducir lo que haces en tu trabajo. ..? Saludos desde Chile

[@louis2743]

dude get a 125 2 stroke dirtbike engine. That would make an insane shifter cart

[@jaredpedersen3771]

you're such an underrated channel keep up the awesome builds

[@cwthemachinist]

Awesome idea man! Love the extra mechanical method you chose!

[@moto9968]

Dude love your work man you make the coolest things

[@VMPLAYSonYT]

Here I am re-watching your old builds while waiting for the new videos to be uploaded.

[@IamJoeTV]

Just going to add this in here but a 80cc dirtbike motor with gearbox makes for a much easier build. Ive built my own shifter kart as well. My kart rips to 60mph with my fat ass on it. 😝

[@bradenlehman8125]

wow i never thought of that, i cant wait to see how it all turns out :D

[@putuporshutup7258]

No you are the first. I never even heard of such an idea. Way to think outside the box!

[@sherxiong957]

wow great idea with the clutch but I think your gonna over work the diff but that's just me I hope it works out for you looking forward to the next video

[@vicious-spider735]

Dude you are awesome. Keep doing what your doing

[@nickbelanger5225]

For the diff thing couldn't you use the normal input and put the brake on one of the two outputs?

[@TrackMania753]

i really want to see the next video, cool vid man!

[@muddboss5700]

thats actually a very interesting idea for a manual clutch... but youre not the first to think of it.. i had the same idea when i was 13 but i didnt and still dont have the skills to do what you do... good job and thanks any way.

[@weezman07]

IS THERE A LOT OF DRAG? ARE THEY EFFICIENT?

[@SeaCowsBeatLobsters]

Video quality is improving. I like it. Are you sure that peerless will work if its turned 90degrees like that?

[@1teddy1979]

I have had one working like that on a go cart for quite a while now seems fine

[@DerKrawallkeks]

+rather B welding Hehe, great build man! I liked many of your builds, but this one is special (to me)! The idea with the clutch is genious;) If they hadn't solved the problem of clutch wear, this would be a great way, cause a break pad (if you used a disc) is easy to replace. Anyway, awesome build, I absolutely love it! And epic ending of the video:D Could you tell me what's the music at 16:40? Would be very kind!

[@r6exrider]

problem is the clutch is either disengaged or full locked. no easing out on the clutch for slow take off.

[@DerKrawallkeks]

Why? Does your car tire lock up every time you brake?

[@OliverMotorized]

Hi! The car's breaking system is after the differential.

[@jamesdileonardo3469]

DerKrawallkeks

[@squirreldickford1842]

I would put power into the diff and a disk brake to one end and sprocket to the other.

[@Bukaj.Alawrak]

What is the model of ur transmission ?

[@56ding]

lol,,,lov yer drill drive ending

[@linuswiktorsson1704]

I really like your videos

[@casperwardyork7608]

Damn great video best one yet

[@MarvinMCJames]

Can't wait for part two!!!! :D

[@jimmygrant3212]

Just weld a hub to the gear box shafts so you can bolt the wheels on.

[@dave1135]

Your clutch idea is similar to the bands in a automatic transmission that operate the planetary.

[@MrTheHillfolk]

Heck I wonder if an auto trans band might work better, you could let it get lubricated and it wouldn't matter too much as far as grip for this application.

[@PhatPhinx]

have a shaft being driven off the diff witch a disk break gear it down to ease the wear you'll be going three drum break pads constantly

[@francomenendez7045]

👍👍👌👌👌

[@nathankennedy8704]

I commend you for thinking of this and actually doing it.

[@oldreliable303]

the gears in the diff will not last very long, but great ideal i used something very simaler on a gas rc truck once

[@vemcomachines9634]

Loved the part at the end with he drill XD

[@willwatson3306]

Best homemade clutch ever

[@domenice3756]

wow man cool idea and great video

[@oneeyedude20]

a lawn mower rear end was NEVER meant to go that fast or take that type of abuse. Its just cast aluminum.

[@michaelnugent8285]

what did you pull the diff out of?

[@arkrager6545]

every time u make a new video its like christmas lol

[@slantedperspective]

DUUUDDDEEEEE. UR A FREEKIN GENIUS!!!!!!

[@randiradio10]

BUEN BIDEO

[@silentdeath9237]

Lawn mowers are slow due to internal gear reduction! Such a wast of a good frame. Differential will never work the way you want the pinion gears will never stand up! That's why people that do a lot of burnouts with one wheel wonders end up destroying the rear differential of their car or pickup and as a mechanic I have seen this a lot especially in my part of the country with people getting stuck in the winter and spinning one wheel trying to get unstuck!

[@aaronspencer6450]

for the brake system for the clutch get rid of the band brake use a disc brake

[@sethmorin1565]

Have you ever though about selling any of these there awesome? You could have another job

[@jjhack3r]

that clutch system is similar to the ford model t transmition.

[@MrTheHillfolk]

Or like an auto trans band grabbing a drum. Everything old is new again.

[@Eddie-py6cc]

Put a bigger sprocket on the one all the way to the front it should work

[@91forever]

I'm waiting on the next video to see it work

[@gaelaguirre3328]

part 2 plz

[@davidbaines7330]

What are the names/artists of the music?

[@toxiclaboratories7070]

the reason why i can see that you cant find anyone using a diff as a clutch it because one the brake band system is inefficient. the bands will burn up very fast with aggressive use also they dont work well as brakes much less clutches. second a clutch needs to have some sort of slip coefficient or the risk of breakage is greatly increased think of it like having a manual car and every time you take off you rev the car to the moon and dump the clutch and istead of it sliping it slams into gear and just goes. eventually and by eventually i mean very quickly things will begin to break. if you didnt rev it up it would just stall. so big hopes that it works but most likely if it does work it wont work for long.

[@slaapkonijn58]

if he finds a way to put the brake on the clutch slowly, it does effecively the same thing as a clutch right? i think it could probably work.

[@toxiclaboratories7070]

if he does that with brake bands they will slip and burn up faster than any belt i use belts on my pulling tractor and i haven't replaced the belt in two years still pulls the same but brake bands have a really soft material that burns up really fast

[@slaapkonijn58]

yes that is true, still interesting concept though.

[@MrTheHillfolk]

It's a little like a band grabbing a drum in an automatic transmission

[@toxiclaboratories7070]

olny it has no fluid to keep it cool which will cause it to burn up really fast plus the materials in those two types of bands are drastically different the band in automatic transmissions is a natural substance similar to cardboard and super fine sand paper where ass brake bands have soft brake pad material with cheap glue holding it together. also auto tranny bands aren't stopping a direct driven force but an indirect force because auto transmissions are driven by fluid not the engine the auto transmissions also have sprag gears which act like a clutch and allows the transmission to free wheel while the bands are applied so it only has to stop the weight of the drum alowing it to shift the clutch persay of an automatic is the torque converter not the bands if auto transmissions just used the bands to clamp the drum without first disconnecting it would destroy the band in seconds. thats why an automatic and what he is doing are drastically different his idea is good but in practice wont work well there's other ways to stop the diff so it can drive the transmission but they would be extremely difficult to do one that would be fairly simple would be to use a brake rotor and a mechanical brake caliper with brake pads like that for an e brake because the clamping force of a caliper is much stronger and more efficient than that of a brake band

[@bayleyfearn9676]

Great idea

[@greasysteve5671]

this is awesome

[@Pittbull101]

that ending tho lol

[@MrSaaadpanda]

what you have there is a differential lol its the same thing you find on rear wheel drive cars LOL there is a lot of energy loss on how you have built it and a lot of work just to make it work but go a head this is your video and your doing all the work so go for it.

[@mrcoolguy0591]

You can put a charging system on the open gear

[@cszzlakalach6317]

OMFG FIIIIIRRRSST !

[@drkinetics384]

Nobody cares...Jesus Christ...

[@Victor-999]

do you want a medal?

[@angusrankin3140]

Really cool

[@TheKornmkk]

I like it.

[@theasdfghjkk4119]

Best footage yet

[@joeyheider9468]

Maybe put a centrifugal clutch on the engine

[@wll1500]

Kind of defeats the point of a shifter kart, wouldn't you say?

[@benkaehli9118]

U should patent that design with the differential lol

[@liammcquillan6851]

i think people dont use that as a clutch because its expensive

[@nano-gq9tv]

Lol the last part 😂

[@outdoorskid4156]

What state do u live in

[@Nathan-cf8dt]

Whats the name of the gearbox
