You've got Traction control... on a 3d printed lego go kart... I'm just trying to let that sink in... You sir are an amazing engineer! If I were wearing a hat, I'd take it off to you! Looking forward to seeing the next test drive :)

[@JeffBoen]

Using the old-school Technic 1/2 bushings with the teeth. Nice! I miss those 90s-era Technic details. I mean, I have hundreds of them in my collection, just that LEGO stopped production long ago on all those toothed LEGO connectors of the era that were so great for making rigid structures at specific angles.

[@MattDenton]

Yeah they looked cool too!!

[@JeffBoen]

@@MattDenton Exactly! I would use them, superfluously at times, on all sorts of sci-fi vehicles and weapons, with the teeth showing, just to make them look cooler. It was a type of greebling in a way. Heh.

[@daniblanaru1520]

oh gawd i wish i had an cart like that

[@brianhardy6084]

Maybe if you got your buddy to print two more of those beams you could redo the front end and run them through under the seat. It would give you a bit more rigidity. more points to pin together either way I’m jealous. Your giant LEGO videos are the best

[@MattDenton]

Thanks .. the thing is weight is also an issue... It's already 45kg 😬

[@dadsfriendlyrobotcompany]

Looks great Matt! My electric kart had a no load speed of 32 mph, but never went above 21. But it was only one motor and a steel chassis. I also have the tractor diff, which added 4 or 5 lbs to the rear axle.

[@MattDenton]

That must have been pretty heavy!

[@dadsfriendlyrobotcompany]

@@MattDenton that and the motor/ESC aren't great. It is the 1800W combo from Amazon with 32A ESC. Thinking about getting the 3000W ebike one from eBay. The chassis can definitely do higher speeds. Can also do differential braking with disc brakes on either side of the diff and two levers

[@bob445566DE]

I think we get a good impression of how difficult it would be to build anything if you're a Lego Minifig in a Lego world. But I guess you would get used to giant humans helping you build. XD

[@Shreyam_io]

Hahahah.. Ivan's print should have reinforcement inside then it would have been super strong 😂... Btw great improvement Matt..

[@MattDenton]

Thanks 👍

[@pietrom2642]

Yes, i think a 50*50 mm aluminium extrusion each side would make a big difference

[@Verdekiwi]

great video! probably somebody else already suggest, but you might try to attach the main beam on a 4 pin size in stead of 2, with a setup of PIN-empty-black axle-PIN. in this way the beam will greatly increase as you reduce the flex momentum in the center.

[@ACCORDriver_NL]

YES !!! I was waiting for this one.... Cool!

[@MattDenton]

Thanks. Sorry for the wait!

[@elminz]

Maybe you could increase power to the outside wheel while steering to aid turning, kinda like torque vectoring.

[@MattDenton]

Indeed I could 👍

[@MattDenton]

[@christianerazorecalde4088]

Hi Matt, I love your Videos! That's really engineering. Regarding the two motors ... I would go for a central differential. Just that the power is centrally provided. You can achieve that with your axle like it is. Take a look at 1:12 or 1:10 RC PanCars. And you can try to use both motors (or three?) with that drive then ;) Or you could add a G-Sensor and add some code to let them speed separately. Could be also a nice option ;) Keep on going! I really enjoy that. Hope your next Project is a collaboration with Ivan as I also love to see his channel ;)

[@TastierBackInThe80s]

Id run that old 6x1 print parallel on the inside of that new piece for some more strength. Also one 6x2 print behind the seat, instead of the multiple pieces capping the aft frame work. Awesome work though, thanks for sharing.

[@Kevccordion]

Keep going! Love this project!!!

[@FabriceCHERRIER]

[@danbo4263]

Now what if you connected each pedal to one motor? Essentially create tank drive for the rear axle. Could turn on a dime then, and just put a brake on the wheel

[@hydroworld-soontobemigrate6160]

[@mikeallen7357]

Awesome build. Am I missing a couple of episodes on this build, or are we still waiting for a full test on the MkII and track testing? BTW, Have you considered a similar build, by hybrid enough to cope with the Red Bull Soap Box races? I'd love to see something like this taking on the hill in the London leg for 2022.

[@MattDenton]

No there are still more episodes to come!! Thanks for the feedback. Red bull race would be cool but it would detonate on the first jump 😆

[@thebushyone]

If you're worried about the loss in speed, why don't you print bigger tyres? Also it would give you a bit more of an air gap at the base due to the added flex in the middle.

[@MattDenton]

To be honest I don't mind it being slower with more torque 👍

[@ChunkySteveo]

Matt.... no issues with the video - amazing work!! Ivans part was amazing, cart is amazing. But I have a question... h What's the small band saw the the BG?! Would like a band saw but can't afford the shop floor....lol! Ohh and the fact you rock Asics tells me everything I need to know about you! 🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻 haha. Keep up the great work! 👌🏻

[@MattDenton]

The small band saw is a very ok (1980s/90s) black and decker bench to saw. Very useful size with a deep throat (waits for smutty response)... I picked mine up seconds hand for £10, I think you can still find them, you can still buy blades for them.. the Asics are my running shoes 😁

Is there grease in the axel differential? the friction to the 3d printed sleeve could melt and deform

There are bearings in the 3D print 👍

[@tigers123123]

Torque vectoring FTW :)

[@gbraadnl]

Was wondering if an electronic (drag) brake could work. I wanted to implement something similar in code for a small car. I could see this is 'wasteful' as it engages the motors. Or am I missing something... ?

[@MattDenton]

I have electric braking but it's not enough 😬

[@boid9761]

Have you tried making bigger wheels and rubber tires? I don't know if that makes a difference but Lego actually made tires made of real rubber so contraptions have more torque. I think it'll help immensely.

[@MattDenton]

They are made of TPU 95 which is similar to the Lego rubber 👍

[@boid9761]

@@MattDenton I had a Lego set whose wheels use Actual rubber. You should probably check it out, just in case
