Know what I love about videos like this? The blinding bright light that everyone seems to think we want to watch when they do welds.
out of all the builds i've watched you do, this one is the best. reminds me of the old Honda Odyssey.
Aluminum body panels wouldn't add too much weight, and if you're worried about accessibility when they are installed, you can make them removable. I would recommend adding a firewall panel at least, for safety. I've used rivnuts in the past to install removable aluminum panels.
Plastic
I have been following closely this 'Two Speed Off Road Go Kart' build. Great video. Please also share the fourth part; Adding the steering, engine, aluminium panels etc. And of course test driving it. Good Job so far.
I must say it’s an amazing series of videos. I wish I mastered metal working like you.
Looking good. I'm glad Go Power Sports could help you out. I think it's very cool of them.
Let the suspension come great easy. Also the vehicle's chassis is beautiful successful operation
Lots of talent there I enjoy watching! With the weight of the motor on and travailing with the rear suspension you could probably have matching coil-overs all the way around.
It's looking pretty good,and strong as it is.Thanks for sharing the build.
hope the welding you did holds. Im not a fan of gasless flux wires.
Why did you make the engine mounted on the suspention? Really will be brutal on the engine and especially the carb with the float being banged around fiercly.
Very Nice, you’re building some of the coolest frames I’ve seen.
holy hell all that cutting welding and drilling must of taken forever! good job m8!
Not to mention all the brackets and steel mounts, I would like if they included the time on builds. Probably Weeks.
Oliver Motorized you make gr8 b8 m8
Your videos are amazing. Never quit
Awesome craftsmanship!
The mini buggy is looking great! Using aluminum or plexi for the cosmetic sheets would reduce a lot of weight. You could get slightly thicker aluminum for the floor instead of thinner steel to save a few pounds there. Add a bar down the middle to divide the load and you could use almost any aluminum.
Make some fiber glass panels instead of sheet metal. Keep it up!
Yup, I agree
Or plastic panels and rivet them on, HDPE sheets arent expensive and you can turn them into any shape.
Aluminium is another good and strong solution
Make em out of milk jugs.
I think you should run the jackshaft all the way across and make 2 more gears on the right side of the axle. A four speed transmission would be sick!
this build is looking great ! I think with the 2 speed trans it will be outstanding ! the metal body parts really won't add that much weight cosidering how great it will look !
ive been watching you almost since your channel first started and its amazing to see how much more professial your builds look now ! keep on building man
I remember when you has 1200 subs. You've come a long way.. keep it up!
Yea man cover all of the tubing with sheet metal ! That would look awsome !
i really enjoy watching this come along it's awesome you sir are very talented
I found your machining and welding skills and your eyeballing for fit skills truly impressive. I've never tackled a project anywhere near this complex, but I wonder if the tubing would be a lot easier/faster to prep and weld if you used square section tubing. No need for grinding radii into the welded ends. Square is structurally more efficient unless you have frame members with torsional loads, which you mostly don't ... only bending and compression/tension loads. Is it a challenge to bend compared to round tubing? Or is it just based on what your source provided?
Great video! You should try independent rear suspension on a future build! That would be so cool to see!
Yes, I think you should do the sheet metal and paint it Race Red (bright red) and make it stand out and be PROUD of what you built with your own two hands and a lot of nice tools and parts.
Great job on the kart. Thanks for the parts list. I was looking for a steering gear like you used.
Very cool bro. I wish I had access to all the equipment I would need to do that stuff. I'd have a blast
Hey man, builds you do look sick. I am trying to bring in a mini baja challenge at my school for the first time in 20 years and I was wondering if I could get in contact with you, I had some questions.
Best looking buggy yet man your a true artist. I want one!
Nice work! Makes me want to build one my self!
One question though; why are you using what think is fluxwire for welding instead of gas?
And did I see bumpsteer?
Lastly, I think the shocks will work fine as is!
Keep it up!
I think you should get some different shocks because you are putting a lot of load on the frame by compensating/moving the shocks closer in for leverage....as evidenced by the tack weld breaking.
Go-cart looks great!! Does the rack and pinion have a ball joint inside the rubber boots on each end? It looked like the ties rods were not pivoting much when you were bolting the rack and pinion on. How will the tie rods stay parallel to the A-arms if there are no ball joints? Maybe there are ball joints and I just couldn't tell from the video. Just curious.
What type of tubing are you using ? 🤔 I'm currently building a off road kart with my son for his summer project we used an old yerfdog 3200 frame I found and it needs a roll cage and some other upgrades to the frame to handle the built 420 we're putting in it.
Yes you should cover it up would look good you could use aluminum or possibly plastic sheet for weight reduction
Great build
Are you using a gasless welder ?
Another great video! What kind of welding is this?
Great videos. I envy your welding skills. I have a very wide skill set which does NOT include welding. That is one skill I'm going to have to acquire before I kick the bucket. I have subscribed.
That’s awesome for the next build you should really make a 4 weel drive go kart!
Use a fan cooled 440..with a secondary clutch so its belt driven no need for gears you will have some deadly fun and yes put some protection in front in case you slide around on the trail and hit the bush from mud..also i hope you have a good air filter if your mucking around in the sand hills or sand pits..jus sharing experience🍻 your build looks great 👍🏽
Freaking awesome abilities, man! I made a home made RC dune buggy once. Same concept but MUCH smaller scale. It took months. You make this look easy.
Yess please put those panels on the sides and tops it will look amazing
You are a beast kid! Loving the build, thanks for the vids -- and keep your face out of the smoke man "there are no old welders" ~AVE.
That's a sick go kart
I agree to try the sheet metal or at least do the cardboard template to see what it looks like. Great build and video series.
Been watching you on and off for awhile and I gotta say that you got a lot done with very little...I see you doing BIG things man...my sins would have loved your channel...take care brother and keep on welding...ďà wòöķįęè
Love the build here. Looks realy nice. How many meters of tube did you use for the frame so far? :)
you need something more thicker to mount your shocks to...and the back is stiff because you have them at an aqua-rd angle they are in a bind to where they cant hardly move if you look at the angle of the shocks in the front then look at the angle of the rear shocks the rear should be the same or higher in degrees...the bottom of the shocks need to go towards the rear by like 3in-4in
if you move the axle under the frame and weld the shocks above the axle then weld the top of the shocks to the (box)frame above the engine part of the frame the shocks could possibly work a whole lot better and it would make it ride a whole lot smoother
As you learn, and become more experienced, your carts start to look a lot more professionally made and more durable
Nice timelapse camera work! Awesome job with the camera angles too! And of course, the go kart looks great! Keep up the good work!
For the floor, I would use some ⅛ inch wire mesh. Easy to cleanup yet, sturdy, and would not add as much weight as a piece of sheet metal. If you don't plan on encasing the cart in sheet metal like you described in the video, mud guards around the tires would be a good idea so your not flinging mud all over the place when riding.
rather B welding could you make a flip down Plexiglas windshield? It may sound weird, but I think it would look good and work nice
You have a gift and you are using it keep going looking good.
I know you probably wont see this but I love the build I really do. I am planning on starting a similar build over summer break because you have very little free time with college classes and I have a project truck. I think I might take some of your designs and ideas and use. Thanks for the inspiration. Where are you from? It would be super cool if you did a meet up at and offroad park
Your vids are really inspiring for a young builder as myself. I think that putting on the body panels will add a very Interesting touch to the build and make it more complete. I would personally like to see this build be as close to a fully functioning vehicle with mirrors lights possibly a wind shield and of course a coupler. Again love the vids hope that I may have inspired you too.
Why not start to think about a 4wd kart and/or differential, also just for a new lathe project or for something new?
Great video! Your go karts are getting better every time!
You should try and make a 4wd buggy next that would be bad a** and keep up the good work your an amazing fabricator
This all is coming together Great! Awesome with the editing and bringing us along while you create this future beast! Cant wait until its finished
would love to see how the trans was made and the concept/design to it
Looking really great to me mate, awesome build so far.
Honest question.. are the upper control arms in the front suspension going to be Ridgid enough to withstand repeated jolt's and shock loads of off road Terrain?.. I seen you used a tradition a arm style lower but a curved single upper and had to ask
Do you factor in zero bump steer into your designs or do you just build however is convient
Was wondering how you managed the bends in the frame. Really wish I had a work space like yours. Great videos, keep it up.
Check out sheet aluminum for the "body" panels and plexiglass windshield. Plexiglass is light enough and easy to cut and the sheet aluminum is cheap enough if you don't get diamond plate and is rather cheap if you dont go to thick. I used it for the engine cover on my inboard 18' boat.
have u thought about selling the 2speed transmissions because i have something id like to build but i dont have a mill to make a 2speed trans and i need 2 of them
Hey man how much would you charge to make me an identical frame minus transmission? I would do the motor and such myself. I just would want the rolling chassis.
Im sure its been mentioned, bu, those shock mount plates seem flimsy compared to the rest of kart. Curious to see how they bend or rip off after a good beatin..
Did you set the ad option on your videos, I am getting Ads every 2 minutes and they can run from 30 seconds to two minutes. RUclips says it is set by the uploader, I have never seen the option on my channel, have you?
What do u use to weld looks like just mig i have a little flux core .35 mig im hoping it will be good enough or ill use stick. I just recently started using mig is was a cert stick welder and it took me wile to lern mig its easy with a 3000$ miler with gas and all but when i started fith my little flux core 110 it was anythig but easy and hard to make good looking work .
You do good work... No sheet crap!!
So what type of metal are you using. Cause I really want to know.
You should add sheet metal to the front, only. Great video!
When i put new shocks and springs on my car it took a while to break in. Itll get softer over time. Even speakers sound better after they break in because the suspension, aka spider, loosens up.
I like the idea of adding body panels but i would use plastic to save weight and money.
Looks great tho. Very nice build. You better put a nice big chrome exh pipe coming out the back.
use coroplast to for cover panels you can wrap it with go power sports decals or what ever and you can bend with a heat gun
I think you need to lay the rear shocks down for more progressive angle...nice cart
For an idea you can use tan fabric that’s durable and use it for the roof and “hood”
Yr a young genius, great work so far.....
Nice job. Kinda disappointing that the suspension only has like an inch of travel on the front. Try to figure out a longer travel suspension for future builds
Nice work man
You at 6:09. That is the story of my life. You're not alone.
I love your videos the 2-speed off-road Go Kart is cool and where is the GS500 dune buggy
Hello, what steel tubes do you use for the kart chassis? Can I use a pipe that is called black water in steel? or also called closing? or does it have to be structural? please I need help since I also want to start a vehicle like this. Thank you.
the perfect keep it up brother we love these kinds of people good job!
Damn man I have to say you've got some skills!!! Do you have plans for this, or just made it yourself? Either way i'd love to build one for myself and grandkids. GREAT JOB!!!
Hi, for the panels (floor and body) I would use aluminum. I built a Super 7 a few years ago and it was a bit like Your co cart. Steel frame, but the floor and side panels where aluminum.This way You don't add that much weight and the strength comes from the frame. The panels where attached with pop rivets and "glued" with silicone in between. The silicone seals everything, makes sure there is no rattle and adds additional strength. I've done more than 20.000km with that car(t) by now. Looking forward to Your progress - Frank
always wanted a tube bender and a good welder... sky's the limit for the things you can make.
This is actually beautiful
It is looking awesome 👏. Keep it up bud.
did you weld everything with fluxcore or did you use gas?
Your new editing is awesome! keep it up.
Great project,keep it up!
After testing it with the 212cc put a 420cc on it for added weight of the side panels and lights and get the low end torque you will need for hill climbing and better take off power. Just a thought. Before you bash me for saying that think about the torque on the 212cc and compair it to the 420cc and with the electric start it would be a no brainer.
David Johnson he isn't putting a 212 on it this build is for the 420
You could also paint it red, I got that idea from the suspensions. It would look nice.
what material do use for youre tubing on frame as i am working on a kart but do not know which material will be lighter yet strong enough to handle a 400 cc 2cycle engine
bro amazing job wish I could have get something of those stuff in my country I make one
awesome job dude
I think you should do the sheet metal idea on the gs 500
Really great job. you are talented buddy. thanks for sharing.
Except for the welding part, I'd agree...
I like your videos I think it would look cool with the panels it would look more like a off-road buggy 👍
