When I was about 12 my dad and me made a "soap box" cart from an 8 foot piece of 2 by 4 with an axle and wheels scavenged from a scrap heap. The whole thing in the end weighed nearly 18 tonnes and was a rolling death trap. We dubbed her "Poker Alice". nearly 25 years later my Dad is very ill and doesn't have a lot of time left, but I will always cherish that time and effort my father spent making Poker Alice for me. I teared up watching this. Your son will be very proud of you in the future, you seem like a worthy father.

Congrats on KZbin top 100,000 by views! If I could borrow your time machine, I'd say to do the kart in stainless so you didn't have to paint it! I like that you mention ackerman steering, but because of the spindle acting as a lever arm, to get the most desirable result when tracking through corners the line should be drawn from the center of the pivot point of the spindle and the where the tire contacts pavement, this mechanism takes into account the closer distance the inside tires contact point with the road. This is not talked about much(at all), but you can see that as the front(inside) tire gets closer to the rear, less of an angle will cut down on scrubbing. Also, be sure to use the low rate steering and have a few holes in each arm so you can lower the rate as he gets older and bolts the KT100 on. I almost forgot- Thats not a router. If that thing can chew through hard steel with a carbide bit and not break the carbide, its a precision milling machine!
@ZspotMotorsport7 жыл бұрын
Looking good! That steering column reminds me of a modified VW Beetle I once bought. The previous owner had lowered the car by unbolting and moving the front suspension beam up in the body and welding it back in place 2" higher. This also raised the steering box so it wouldn't line up with the shaft, so he welded a Craftsman 3/8" drive swivel extension between the two. Luckily for him, the car was never "finished" or driven long enough for it to kill him. One of the first things I fixed.

Thank God you installed a steering u-joint, lessening the odds of a chest impalement by creating an angular breakpoint in the shaft. Now please go to an auto salvage yard and get a proper steering shaft with two cross-and-roller u-joints and cut out that piece of a socket set. You need the part located between the firewall and the steering rack. Install that shaft section at an angle to your overall steering shaft to create a collapsible section. You've installed great brakes, but your kids' safety is hanging on a cobbled steering system. Reinforce between the two arms on the end of the rack. I'd also reinforce the forward face of the rack C-channel, keep it from bending downward; those gear teeth are short and just a little distortion if the channel bends could disengage the steering. Like you said, the first unauthorized modification will be to remove the throttle stop. Make the steering safe and bulletproof.
@cobburn7 жыл бұрын

Go on the Garage Journal, in the fab section and search for the "Old Milwaukee Express" Unfortunately all the pictures won't load, but you can still read of all my trails and tribulations. Same boat as you, didn't know shit about building a cart, had to figure it out as I (we) went. Started with a 23 HP Briggs Vanguard and ended up with a 38 HP fire breathing monster.This thing had everything from dual slide Mikuni carbs to hydraulic front and rear disk brakes. Spent the better part of the winter of 2010 building it. All motor work was done in house, nothing was sent out, thanks to my good friend, who is an excellent Motorcycle mechanic and tuner.

Super nice job on the fabrication of EVERYTHING!

I think that new steering wheel is also much safer for the kids. You should aim for no metal rods aiming towards the driver.

Excellent job. Only one recommendation i would have is drill holes in the column that the bolt runs through at the front tires and tap for a grease zert..only my opinion. Love the humor!

That's the coolest cart I have ever seen by far I am a mechanic and have seen a lot of custom cars and that kid's cart looks better thin most full size cars killer work!!

This is great. I asked for a GoKart when I was 12. My dad came home with a 765HP Ultra 4 truck. Been running races and uphill battles since. 🙂
