Building the Go-Kart (High School Senior Project Video)

(Music By Juno Reactor) The first video thats related to this is the entire video. this is just a demo. heres the Specs: This project was done for a graduating grade at my high school. the grade on it was a 98% and i got a 95 on my speech (which was 12 minutes long.) this was the video i showed during my presentation. this project took a total of 2 to 3 months of work, and i started with ordering a set of go-kart plance from Don's DIY Den (diyden.net.) The go-kart was origionally designed for a 5 horsepower motor, but i put in a monster 18 horsepower twin cylinder motor. it wasnt the BEST idea because the ngine is on the side and it is kind of off weight. other than that and the crappy breaks, there are no real problems with it. The frame used mostly .095" one inch square tubing, and for the braces and brackets, i used 1/4" sheet metal. All of the parts in which i did not build or find from friends, i obtained from northern tool (northerntool.com.) some parts like the front wheels and steering wheel, i got from friends or yard sales. i got the engine from my stepbrother Tony moore who i thank dearly. the engine is 00 brand new. it was used in Iraq to power a giant frige. tony bought it to grind up horse poop. and i got it for free. This thing started up the first pull and yes, i know the mixure is off, but once we got this thing working, it topped out at about 50 MPH, andhad real nice handling. not that great of a turning radious, but good handling. the clutch was ...
Dude I thought you was just an idiot wasting time on youtube making people laugh, which by the way your video are freakin funny as hell, but I was wrong. Great job on the go-kart. I would get bigger fron tires though. Man that is a very very good job.
Awesome kart, if you don’t mind me asking, around how much did you spend on the parts besides the engine? I’m working on an offroad kart and I am thinking I will buy those plans!
