Reviving Our 4 ENGINE GO KART | 848ccs of AWD FURY!

We bring back one of our oldest custom projects, the four engine, 4wd go kart! The four engine go kart is powered by four stock Predator 212s, totaling 848ccs and 26 horsepower. This this go kart is a sketchy ride around the CarsandCameras Grand Prix, but it's FAST! Normally a go kart this heavy with only 26 horsepower wouldn't be fast, but this go kart can do AWD burnouts all day long to a conservatively geared top speed of around 40mph.

[@jessecordell1313]

I reckon that tilt steering wheel throws off yer center of gravitational pull. Forces you to the edge of the seat. Awesome kart and fun video. 👍🏻

[@charlesdarwin4780]

Haven't even seen the video yet, all I can say is "I've been waiting for this!" Edit: Independent suspension, unified fuel delivery system, bucket seat, and a very simple mud guard on the sides would look better, while leaving more clearance for rocks. That's overkill, but still cheaper then modified 212's all around... That'd be a sick build.

[@zomgz932]

You should put some mud/rock deflectors or mud flaps behind the front tires, lol (edit: Oh, haha you made some later in the video)

[@haydentakara4369]

@@jjhack3r steering would have to be completely redone, and have cv joints going up to the fronts to allow them to turn while also having them be linked, as far as the rear, it would basically just be a simple live axle

[@MaNNeRz91]

tbh I don't think there's any way of keeping the original set up and having equal drive across the imaginary axle. If the gearing was controllable it would be a lot straighter but with each engine going through its own gearing changes its putting more power to whatever wheel is behind on the belt tensioning 😆

[@Zombiereaper1]

Make the steering rack quicker but add a motorcycle steering dampener, should help with the torque steer.

You need to start bring in “hard pack dirt” by the truck load for your track (this summer). You’ll be happy that you did.

[@monadking2761]

That looks so cool. Add a bucket seat and a roll cage for sure and on the steering quicken it up and add a damper or two. You could use small shocks sideways since your turning alot of mass. Add more foam the seat that might help your bottom end. After seeing this, I want to talk to my oldest son to consider building a 4 motor car as well. It looks like this could be a new sport!

Question: Wouldn't it be Independent-Wheel Drive, instead of All-Wheel Drive?

[@rogertalley7944]

I say take the front engines off and see what she'll run.

[@harryrenner4016]

That was a riot, the first thing you notice is the sensation of noise. I just realized that this one of only two four wheel drive karts you have. it has a fairly impressive top speed. which can also be a problem with it's odd handling characteristics. it can get out of control in the blink of an eye. before adding the mud flaps. I could only imagine that Ike must have felt twenty pounds heavier with all the mud on him. I really got a kick out of the Go Pro that was completely covered with mud. LMAO!!!!! when John got off the line it was obviously noticeable that it was really really squirrely. and in the onboard footage you could see John really sawing the steering wheel. a butt hugger seat and possibly a lap belt would definitely be a worthwhile improvement. because you could devote more time and effort into the handling. and less into concentrating on staying on the vehicle. it would probably make a big difference. because of it's design probably it's only drawback is that it doesn't have any suspension. and that would be something that would be difficult to overcome. but something a person might think about doing to it if you have the resources. is putting taller flotation type tires on it. similar to what comes on the old three wheelers. it would change the vehicle though because of the higher center of gravity. it would give it lot more ground clearance. and with really low air pressure in the tires it would cushion the ride. it would ultimately make it more of a crawler type vehicle and less of a track type vehicle. so for what it is it's a pretty unique vehicle no doubt.

I had some cousins who lived in Buffalo NY. My Dad took me and my brother out to visit them. My Uncle Ed was a real car guy. He was a partner in the Lancaster Speedway. My cousin Jerry had a go kart in his room under a sheet. He showed us his pride and joy. It had a fiberglass body like a race car. It had an engine at each wheel. He had raced the kart in a class that limited horsepower to 25 hp. This kart had (4) 6 hp motors. Since the rules didn't mention anything about the hp being in one motor it was allowed. He had a bunch of trophies. This was the early '70's.
