Reviving our Honda 750cc Cross Kart | BIG Tires, New Brakes, Mini Send!

We’re reviving our home built Honda CB750 cross kart! This 80hp home built go kart always looked great and had good acceleration, but the brakes were finicky. In todays episode, we install new brakes, new taller front wheels, and get the old cross kart running and riding again!

It should not have started that easily. That’s a Honda!

If it starts and redlines, it's good

So happy to see a video from you guys I was just seating here watching y’all’s old videos

Got an 81 honda gl500 it sat for 20 years ...I bought it 2 years ago with 3,176 miles on it 3 months ago the time chain snapped at 38,729 miles ...... I'm sure once it's replaced it will start exactly the same

The look on Ikes face when that wheel came loost was the best!! That alone was worth the shocked (yeah it figures) price of admission...lolol... It'll buff out and it'll be fine fellas....Also,I really love the high Rev noise that cb750 makes...classic...

[@carlbrown8830]

Warrior wheels are reversible so you can make it wider by turning them inside out allowing for more clearance on the inside. You just have to deal with the valve stems being on the inside.

[@Nunya_Bidnez]

IDK if any of my words help you guys but its fun to think it does. Love you guys. Especially Charlie. Best thing to happen to you since birth.

[@draggonhedd]

hey just put some miata wheels on it with 14" UTV tires, they'll do really nicely.

Next build should be a go cart recovery vehicle. Or build the minnie truck into a roll off to retrive broken carts on the grand prix. Could be used at busco beach also.

[@orian1427]

second this

[@Chevelle_addict]

Third

[@andrewbates1745]

Here's an idea, and brace for this one. Zero turn go cart. Steering by levers, gas and brakes by pedals. I think it would be a challenge yet rewarding build.

[@ghomerhust]

oh yeah something like the 6 and 8 wheel drive hunting tubs that float! that drivetrain would be fun to build

[@djaydeved]

all mechanical too, cant use hydrostatic!

[@eljuano28]

Green machine style?

[@peacepoet36]

One of my favorite projects! Hey, we all make mistakes of the loose wheel, but y'all recovered. The Cross Cart is still awesome and I can't wait to see more videos of it. John, Ike, Charles, you're all amazing and awesome for what you do. Keep it up!

[@mrgmc6314]

Get yamaha blaster front spindles that will solve alot of problems, especially if you get a set of 2000 and up disk break spindles but even the drum ones are great for the yard cart

Right on . Hey I was critical of him at the start but dang it , Charles is making a star worthy of the trio now . Great growing Charles You rock sir .

[@johnstancato8785]

I mentioned this in other comments in the past an old-timer taught me to stop pumping the brakes when you bleed them because you just push the air bubbles back and forth push the pedal down crack the bleeder close and repeat I've done it and it works way better and faster than pumping them

[@kyleewert5630]

Agreed! I would also say that the cheap hand powered vacuum pump bleed kits are a great way to get a good start on bleeding the brakes.

[@freddylaymon6629]

You should hit up rather b welding and have him make you some beefy spindles. Keep these great videos coming

[@HellmuthsHotRods]

I know most people prefer flashy, new builds from scratch but I personally enjoy seeing old projects get improved and "finished right". The roadkill guys seem to be leaning more towards that too. Now, having said that..............I agree with what someone below said about a scratch built recovery vehicle would be SWEET! Maybe an ATV winch, but with a tall boom so if, I don't know, a wheel falls off you can "wheelbarrow" it home.

[@jasonbirch1182]

When you make a rocker arm like that for the brakes, you want it to be up and down 1/2 way through the stroke. In other words at rest it should be leaning one way, then as you step on the brake it should go to straight up and down then at full brake travel it should be leaning the other way. This way the push rod travels up and down as little as possible through it's range.

[@mag2395]

You guys need to build a sweet mini tow truck buggy if and when these things happen!

[@boltswiresnpieces4011]

I’m no expert but to what I know about brake fluid the main difference between DOT3 and DOT4 is the heat rating. They both shouldn’t hurt anything rubber related because all master cylinders that I know of for motorcycles and cars have rubber in them. My thoughts are the corrosion is the culprit along with possibly just a cheap master cylinder🤔😁

[@spassser]

but what does dot 5 do???

[@boltswiresnpieces4011]

@@spassser good point🤔 I guess the question mark is what the master cylinder was designed for…. DOT 5 gels when mixed with 3 or 4. That would be understandable. I guess I’m thinking most old vehicles don’t use dot 5 so what’s the chances that’s what they put in the master cylinder with probably and old motorcycle caliper on the rear. 🤷‍♂️ Idk wasn’t there to see it. either way enjoy the videos 😁👌👌

[@boltswiresnpieces4011]

@@spassser also if they put DOT 5 in there with 3 or 4 the chances of the rest of the system being messed up is high which I highly doubt is the case😉 So then it’s back to corrosion being the problem 😅

[@Beodude123]

I have to say out of your fleet, the cross cart is my favorite. Watched you guys build it up the whole way through. It looks like an absolute blast!

[@cyode123434]

This project has always been my favorite. I’ve been waiting patiently for a version 2 with a bigger engine maybe a cb900 or cb1100 lol 😂

Nice to see the crosscarcart up and running again and you can’t beat that Honda motor! Great video as always though and glad Ike didn’t get hurt with that little tire issue keep up the great work guys👍🏼🤩💪🏼

[@brackeng1294]

So much love for the cross cart!! That is thing is a beast.

[@homelakegarage6073]

Like too see Charles and John drive more.

[@FarmerFpv]

It started raining or they would have. Did you not watch until the end?

[@terminalpsychosis8022]

This is one of, if not THE first, full frame builds C&D has done. It's a killer platform, and not even neglected, just used and used and abused.

[@jaketolbert289]

Thank you for the brake episode! This is yalls best build ever. In my opinion

[@josephdougherty2399]

I've changed from DOT 3 to DOT 5 on older Harleys ... No problem with seals .... HOWEVER....you have to wash everything out with alcohol till dry before you put in DOT5 ...if you mix the 2 you end up with silicone jelly in your system....not sure what that would do to your rubber stuff

[@MarbleTL]

The most confusing part is that DOT 5.1 is compatible with all the older ones but not DOT 5.

[@cygnus1965]

Dot 5 sucks. Just get some Motul dot 4. I was boiling my brakes on the flattrack and just a simple Switch and no more issues.

[@WingmanJohnny]

Great job yinz guys. Keep up the great work

John you ever think about setting it up like they do for the four-wheel-drive stadium trucks they use a large handbrake so that way they can go in and crank the wheel and hit the break at the same time

Good little tip when bleeding brakes I use a the top of a water spray bottle attached to the bleeding nipple crack it open an start pumping the spray head untill fluid starts coming out ..an then do the 2 person way love the content an builds... stay safe an stay seated lol

[@randommisshaps7]

17:38 That's what she said. All seriousness, love this cross kart. i remember the first episode of when you started to build it.

[@n8nkqrp595]

Hey boys- I just awoke from a daydream. In it, you three were working on your digger again- installing a twin turbo V-6. Funny car style headers. Seat between rear tires. Old school digger like that takes a pair of huge, shiny brass **** to drive! :-O

[@999benhonda]

The ring on the bearing failed and the bearing slid into the hub because those bearings retaining rings can't handle much side load. The hub needs an inner pipe to keep the bearings from being able to slide into the hub.

great stuff guys thanks

Hey guys , if you never do anything wrong or overlook something , you have not done much . Love the cart and you guys are a riot .

[@AgnotologyTV]

before watching FINALLY! Bigger tires! Edit 5 minutes in: I always wanted you guys to go with bigger tires not for performance, but to give you your backs more cushion, and to increase the ride height. So many times i saw the front end slam the ground, and I grimaced for your guy's backs. I want to see you guys still messing around with scary fast machines in 20 years, not have your bodies so torn up you can barely move.

[@MrVig]

0:52 It started like It was BRAND NEW 😂😂

Also camera man. Goes unseen and nameless. Much love man

[@therealracer135]

When you get the new carb/intake setup, put some hose barbs in the top of each intake port and connect them all together with some 1/4" hose and tees and elbows. Should make it run a little better, but still not as good as the factory carb setup.

[@watahyahknow]

to get the master cilinder to come back you could pressureise it prent the brakeline part and then play with it to get it to free up/ clear itself out as for the intake manifolds , youre pretty handy in 3d designing , you can probably make them on a 3d printer , you do need to see wish material it most fuel resistant

Love the videos

[@handyhippie6548]

to be easy to bleed and have the best performance you need the brake master to be the highest point in the system, just like the radiator cap or bleeder in a cooling system. that's also why the bleeder screw is on the top of the wheel cylinders or calipers, because the air in a liquid filled system will migrate to the highest point.

[@BUDZ42045]

Do you guys still have it? Its yellow and white. How about the big monster truck that's green and white? You all took it to mini mayhem. Hopefully soon you guys will be back at the track with the drag rail. Anyways you guys have a great day and see you on Wednesday.

[@fudgun]

If you're using Miata hubs (or 4×100/4×4 bolt pattern), golf cart wheels should fit just fine, so long as the offset is correct. 1" trailer stub axles will be plenty beefy for your needs, too. I used a pair for my golf cart's front suspension, and they have held up pretty well to the roughly 1300lb cart hitting rocks and roots at 25mph so far...

[@emmajacobs5575]

4x100 is NOT the same as 4x4”! That 1.6mm makes a significant difference and can cause wheel studs/bolts to bend or even snap. People have made that mistake on MG Midgets and learned the hard way.
