Street Go Kart Episode 3

[@DonaldByrd1970]

No one can say that you aren't BRUTALLY HONEST. Great video, I for one appreciate your honesty.

[@randomking2261]

Thank u go power sports and red beard 🚁🛥🚞🚝🛳🚢🚝🚀🚈🚉⛵️✈️🚧🚉🛳

[@Backwoodsairguns]

I would love to see a built 212 predator with a very small turbo that would be wicked. Maybe custom crank and piston??

[@cjholcombe6907]

Great video red beard!

[@RedBeardsGarage]

+Cj Holcombe thanks man

[@arigato.collect]

i feel u when you said that you put all the time into it and dont get alot in return or the end product.. suxs that you dont like that manual clutch i thought about getting it, its pretty cool to rev up your engine without a stand

[@angeldelgado1347]

your videos are great yo gives me inspiration to start on my build

[@killer3468]

Love the video. Humility is rare on KZbin. You nailed it. Keep up the good work brother! Where do we get the RBG merchandise?

[@RedBeardsGarage]

+Killian Timoney soon I will have some for sale I am still small right now and it cost a lot to get all that going. I only sell sticks right now.

[@matthudson1724]

Red you need the ported honda 14cc head i have sitting here with 1.6-1 rockers. and a custom cam. ethanol or 100+ octane fuel on that hemi motor and it will fly. build them like that on mini bikes. HOLD ON. 270s wont compare. also for a street cart cvts are ok but topend will suffer. Old margay with the afromentioned 212 would run 70+ blasssstttt to ride

[@jasonaaron3435]

Try to get a yerf dog spiderbox comes with a off brand honda but bullet proof 150 cc wt cvt tops out at 35 and makes 8 hp but if you put some mods into it it will make about 11

[@RedBeardsGarage]

+Jason Aaron I have one behind my garage. Huge build coming out on it in February.

[@jarradpowell8231]

merry Christmas to you and your family bud! enjoy your break I hope you get some rest and relaxation done.

[@RedBeardsGarage]

+Jarrad Powell Merry Christmas to you brother and thanks for watching

[@jarradpowell8231]

+Red Beard's Garage thanks for replying brother! shout out all the way from Australia!

[@pacificnorthriders7081]

Hey if you could help me out that would be great. My motor in my pocket bike is going out and I want to get a 212 for it. I will be starting from scratch and making my own fab to mount it. You can see my bike on my channel. What gearing and chain should I go with? Also will there be anything else except the clutch I will need to get started?

[@RedBeardsGarage]

+pacificnorthriders I don't know if your throttle will work off your old engine. If not you will need to get a throttle kit. Sprocket size all depends on what you want. Top end or tourqe.

[@RobertPerrigoOkiechopper]

I think the kart is looking Rad dad bad to the bone, wait till I get ours finished and I'll post more videos of it, BTW Red, try the metal butterfly steering wheel like the one in my videos, Merry Christmas to you & yours.

[@brockmorgan75]

@1:40 thats a kool engine

[@minorpyro69]

7 YEARS for your brakes to get there !?? Woww. And I was considering getting that same assembly from eBay.

[@RedBeardsGarage]

+Pred 212_ more like 1-2 months but still a long time

[@shadough_]

Are you going to do a mini bike build series??? Red Beard's Garage

[@RedBeardsGarage]

If I found one for cheap I will.

[@AT_motors]

I'm sure you'll get all the bugs worked out soon enough. At least it looks sweet. You still planning on giving that clutch away?

[@RedBeardsGarage]

+Anthony T yeah I just need to announce the winner and mark the video as ended.

[@SlickTrickRC]

gotta try new stuff . love your videos. keep working it.

[@hksavage6310]

man you need to put that 212 and 3D clutch on a doodlebug minibike.

[@RedBeardsGarage]

+Hk Savage all I have is karts. I will try to find a mini bike

[@cylosgarage]

Currently, 4 out of the 5 comments are people bragging about how quickly they saw the video. Thanks Obama Ps great vid. 10k subs is coming I can feel it

[@elicane5151]

Where did you get the spoiler from can you send me a link

[@tygamez8825]

Did the brakes really take 7 years or no

[@jamesmaroon6161]

have a merry Christmas and a happy new year sir

[@RedBeardsGarage]

+Travel Man thanks and you too

[@chaustalguerillawarfare7681]

670!!!!!

[@gasmansgarage5491]

I love your videos they have helped me with all my go kart issues and then more you have helped me bring my junk yard kart back alive to one of my best street karts... I would love to see more go kart builds in the future...keep up the good work... also I am thinking about making one of my other go-kart Alot faster but don't want to spend a fortune doing if what would be the best way of increasing my over all speed ??

[@RedBeardsGarage]

gearing ratios are always the biggest factor. Simple mods to start on the engine and then you can move on to bigger internal parts.

[@catfisher420]

I think you should just do double or triple 212's on a cart. The way I see it you can get 424cc for $198 if you buy 2 212's and the cheapest i've seen a 420cc is $299. Plus I believe the 212's rev higher. I have been playing with a 420cc for the last couple weeks and I am not very impressed. It could be because its on a manco dingo with a 14t jackshaft sprocket and 54t axle sprocket with 22" knobby tires so it is geared for a top speed of around 76 mph at 4600 rpm. I am going to put a 8t jackshaft sprocket on and see if that awakens the bottom end.

[@RedBeardsGarage]

+catfisher420 I will do a triple engine soon so stay tuned

[@catfisher420]

That will be insane! By the way, Merry Christmas! My wife got me the axle, bearings and hangers for my dual engine kart for Christmas now I just need the rims, sprockets and clutches. I am going to go with 10t clutches and 36t sprockets with #40 chain.

[@peteboruty157]

I'm have the exact same cart and am starting the build to make it a street cart. Did you go with a 48" axle? I'm also interested in how you resolve your steering issue. Merry Christmas to you and yours.

[@RedBeardsGarage]

+Pete Boruty I'm pretty sure the axle is a 48". It's been a long time since I ordered it. Yeah stay tuned on the steering problem

[@mhmadgenious]

it needs a street bike motor like a ninja 250 or something along those lines

[@RedBeardsGarage]

yeah i have a few plans for it down the line

[@olisutton1368]

670cc is good

[@jacob4884]

Where'd you get those tires?

[@RedBeardsGarage]

+Jacob Beck go power sports

[@jacob4884]

Red Beard's Garage aww man thank you so much I've been looking forever but couldn't find any

[@murkem48yung9]

put the 670 on it

[@Zach-uv5ul]

man i know this is an old video, hope you see this. but what state are you in? Being honest and respectful you sound like an Arkansas boy. Im from South Missouri. im just getting into gokarting with my buddies and we love your videos! jeep up the good work man!

[@RedBeardsGarage]

+Zach 42 Tennessee. Thanks for watching man

[@tombenes4461]

i would love 2 see what you do with a 670cc

[@RedBeardsGarage]

Got one coming next week so stay tuned.

[@jbarrett4205]

more of a update than a episode

[@joshuagodsey3731]

turbo hayabusa with nitrous would work for that kart

[@RedBeardsGarage]

yeah but then it would probably be the end of RBG because i would kill myself lol

[@AngelGarcia-zf4oc]

where can i get some of those break lines?

[@RedBeardsGarage]

+Angel Garcia they was actually for the black car in my intro that I never put on. Go to the part store and look through what they have.

[@AngelGarcia-zf4oc]

It a was brake line for the altima?

[@RedBeardsGarage]

+Angel Garcia yeah

[@AngelGarcia-zf4oc]

Does autozone have it?

[@RedBeardsGarage]

+Angel Garcia yeah they should. It was a 05 altima

[@zandercotter]

I was going to subscribe but than I saw how much ford stuff u had

[@RedBeardsGarage]

Thats completely fine with me man. I like my Fords. Everyone can't be the same or this would be one boring planet.

[@christiandavis9795]

You need to do more off road stuff

[@RedBeardsGarage]

+Dirt for days Chris going to very soon.

[@christiandavis9795]

Sweat

[@Ledface117]

Put a potbike motor on it with a gearbox

[@yadiel1231]

Chris Mathy wtf is a potbike

[@catfisher420]

Pitbikes don't make enough power! He would be better off with a KX, YZ, RM or CR 250 engine on it and you can usually pick them up for a decent price and parts are readily available.

[@russelsmith307]

My ATV is getting too much gas what could be the problem

[@RedBeardsGarage]

+Jesse Blair you probably need to tune the air and fuel screw on the side of the carb

[@twiztedmowers2]

I had the predator 420 and had a 14 tooth centrifugal clutch to a 32 sprocket on a jackshaft to a 10 tooth sprocket back to a 45 tooth sprocket and running a 40 chain and I kept breaking the chain and it did twist once from the 10 to 45 sprockets. it's was slow and maybe topped out at 15mph it took off slow.

[@user-neo71665]

You had a final ratio of 10.286 roflmao. You most likely have to have an engine with torque numbers in the double if not triple digits to overcome that.

[@catfisher420]

Not to mention the cluster F*CK you have for a setup! You need 2 sprockets only. Change the whole setup and stay around a 7.00 ratio. I have a 8hp briggs flathead with a 30 series tc with 10t tc sprocket and 72t axle sprocket and it does pretty nice. I run 20x10-8 HI-RUN tractor lug tires. Mine is setup for off road obviously!

[@twiztedmowers2]

catfisher420 well with the 420 I centered the engine up on the frame since it was so wide. that's why I had a jackshaft setup.

[@twiztedmowers2]

my engine was in the front and it had a four wheeler rearend which has the sprocket near the center and it's lifted 8 inches. I used about 9 and half ft of chain total.

[@catfisher420]

That's a crazy setup!

[@joelsd.i.y526]

what is a CVT?

[@wilberado]

Constantly Variable Transmission. It's the type of transmission that the torque converters on go-karts and minibikes are, but there are other types too, some are even used in cars.

[@joelsd.i.y526]

Travis Wilber so it's a torque converter like a Comet 40 series?

[@wilberado]

That's a type of CVT, yeah.

[@joelsd.i.y526]

Travis Wilber okay I have just not heard that term before. thank you

[@wilberado]

No problem. :)

[@maxbrimmell3767]

[@Dhigzzz]

First, keep up the good work

[@bradenweir3261]

Second

[@Clydedoesit]

Fourth

[@nicholascarr6251]

Just get a bike engine, they are cheap, powerful, and has gears

[@RedBeardsGarage]

+Gamer_time I have a kdx 250. That's what I got it for but may sell it. Trying to decide.

[@nicholascarr6251]

That seems like a good engine for the street go kart.

[@nicholascarr6251]

When I build my go kart, it will most likely have a gsxr 750 engine strapped to the back XD

[@RedBeardsGarage]

It would be a death trap.... fun but a death trap

[@nicholascarr6251]

Yeah XD
