I CRASHED Our 750cc Cross Kart | High Speed 180, Broken Parts, Totaled??

The custom 750cc cross kart we built took a BEATING- first, I crashed it into a row of small trees, doing a 180, bending a front rim and breaking one of the tie rods. We managed to get it fixed, then I busted the oil pan on a rock trying to beat the CarsandCameras Grand Prix record! We'll keep our eyes open for a new oil pan for the 1982 Honda CB750 engine we used on this project, but I really want to retire the cross kart for a few months while we gather new parts to completely rebuild the front suspension for more travel and better damping, better brakes, and installing a newer, more powerful engine than the tired old Honda currently in the cross kart.

Okay, the CrossCart has been around long enough, John keeps doing it, for love of safety, either teach John how to shift with his left hand, or just move the shift lever to the right side. There's no good reason John should be taking his right hand off of the wheel, crossing over, or under his other arm, just to shift.

[@holdenrice9694]

Swap in the new 2-stroke 670, then you can redo the shift linkage so you won't have to cross your arm over. Also, you'll get reverse, and while you're at it you can rebuild the front end, and do taller tires when you do so. Taller tires will help with ground clearance, improve the aesthetic, improve the shock absorption, and when you were building it originally you didn't bother to get the factory speedometer working because you said that taller tires in the future would make it inaccurate. It's almost like it was meant to be.

I think the next project they need to build is a m274 mule 4x4 or 6x6 diesel with reverse equipped with tool body (basically 2 rolling toolboxes turned back to back with a recovery tow arm stuck between them (variant of under reach) possibly also having a high boom, utilizing a 65+ amp alternator (to power work lights as well as act as a generator and jumpstarting platform) at least dual deep cycle batteries with a large hardwired power inverter (1200+ watts) with front and rear winches, with a service trailer equipped with a flux core welder (for trailside repairs as you don't have to worry about or fight with your shielding gas getting blown away when it's windy), an air compressor with air tank and drier for air tools, as well as stocked with all hard and flex lines, hoses with clamps, spare belts, spare hardware, etc. While I was in the army we had a humvee equipped as a service/tool truck with a service/tool trailer, and if that didn't have the tools to fix it we'd drop the fresh from the pls truck (not lhs (4axle) truck as it had 5 drive axles 3 were steer axles (2front & the1rearmost) and a much higher load weight lift capacity).
