I’m out in Oregon and y’all inspired me to get some projects rolling. Started a minibike from scratch and I’m fighting electrical on an old Murray currently to get that going. Projects take time but they’re fun to work on. Love the vids I learn a lot.
@The Weapon Collection ive built 100s and was a nascar tech inspector . these guys just suck i watch just to laugh at them . just because the got subs dont mean shit .
The reason you need to down shift pushing forward on the shifter is because, in an emergency stop situation, you don't want to upshift when you lean forward because of breaking hard. Pull back to upshift. Push forward to downshift.
It isn't really an issue because in an emergency stop situation, you're either going to stall it or push in the clutch. You aren't downshifting in an emergency stop because your goal is to get it stopped as soon as possible.
As an old JD tractor owner, and a beemer 1000 cc owner, I remember that when you lost the coolant or changed it, you had to be sure that the water pump was flooded before you ran the engine. You see vehicle water pumps do not "suck" air and as such, they will not void themselves of air to get water in, JD had bungees with bolts and seals to allow coolant to drain out showing that you had water up to that point and continued the flow until the entire engine, coolant lines and pump was flooded. If you do not do this you are looking at at least a blown head gasket, warped heads, or much worse, such a shame for such a spectacular accomplishment, Kudos to the team!!! You guys rock!!!
Good to see you got the dropped cylinders issue fixed. Just for safety, you should pull that ignition module off the kart anytime you weld on it. Electronics don't like to be exposed to all that induction created by welding current. If it were me, I'd work on getting that shifter *inside* the cage with a *lot shorter* throw, and reverse the shift pattern so you pull back to go *up* through the gears as it is natural for you body weight to shift to the rear when accelerating. Maybe go with a shift *cable* as well, to reduce the amount of linkage involved. You definitely need to get a different differential in there,without that stupid extension, and maybe a flat chain driven gearbox to get the power more toward the center just behind the engine. With as much crashing around as you guys will be doing, you want your driveshaft straight to take the suspension travel without overstressing the U-joints. Good luck on it.. seems to be coming together nicely!😉
Ok my bad guys i had not watched all the way thru to see that 12v was not disconnected. Not sure this has anything to do with "problem" however because its only that coil and not the other affected. If possible to swap the supply 12vdc and see if problem "follows" or goes away.. In other words this may be an ECM driver issue. Admittedly i am rusty at electrical diagnosis as ive not worked since dec 2017 and on disability soc sec as of 2019 at 51 years old. Worked 20+ years as an electric forklift mechanic and have seen and repaired many a things over the years. Point i wanna make is i appreciate you younger fellers into the diagnosis of automotive/equipment electrical systems and repair. The more time you put in the better you get and in no time y'all will be fixing stuff many others cant. Now that i dont wrench daily all i can really do is watch people on youtube playin around.

Guys, I love your builds and enthusiasm. But PLEASE change the cage design in this before you get hurt. Look at the cage design of a Sprint Car, and do something like that. Move those bars that are above your head to the sides of the roll cage. Then brace it some like a sprint car.

@dylan zrim I suggest ANYONE doing fabrication of a vehicle from go-kart to rock bouncer look up race car roll cage specs. Particularly for circuit and rally.

I know you guys just love to do things as jenkey as possible but I feel the need to mention that if the motor you are using has a computer it should never be in the vehicle when you are welding on it!
After all the reinforcement is done and you guys have welded it completely. You should put some body panels on it and make it the official carsandcameras pace kart. Set possibly a new grand prix record and then put it up against the crossbart. This trophy kart would look sick with some panels and a big ol C&C logo and just a touch of paint. But definitely leave the cage and frame itself alone for now until absolutely needed if needed at all.

@The Truth of the Matter not true the computer has a constant 12v signal going in for computer memory they welded with the battery hooked up and it shorted the computer
Sounds awewome. Need some bars near your elbows to keep you protected. Sliding seat back will put more weight on the rear tires for more traction... great build
I also have a crossfire pro. I noticed that your torch is a little loose in the video. I see it rotate a bit when it moves. That will reduce your cut quality. Also you can put a sketch on the face of a part and attach a tool path to single lines. Just select "center" instead of left or right when setting up your tool path. Also change your lead in and out to zero degrees and it will just extend the line a little. For holes I use 90 degree lead in with .07" to .125" distance. For small holes you will not be able to use the full .125" and you'll have to knock it down a bit.
I'll say it again, that is a REALLY bad location for the radiator. Between three of you guys I can't believe you didn't think to put it up behind the seat on the frame bars that met at the top. By the wheel it's going to get pelted with rocks and filled with mud and dirt. 👎
I was thinking the same thing. If they just face it forwards It will get better airflow to. I think they are gonna have cooling problems in the future.
I swear this was meant to be a high ground clearance even "rock crawler" type vehicle. Now it's a open flat space speed machine? I think they've realised a little too late that they've built a pig and have to run with it. Including poorly placed items and janky solutions made to fit around problems that could have been solved earlier in the build.
@Jeff Kopis that's why you make sure it doesn't spring a leak. Real Trophy Trucks with open backs have been running this setup for years. The inlet and outlet of the rad doesn't even have to be facing forward. That way if it does leak it will spray out towards the back. What I'm explaining is the all out perfect location for the rad. It's protected and will have much better airflow.

You should pull back to shift up and forward to shift down !! Like a reverse shift pattern in a hot rod , race truck ect.

@@CaptainScarlet1961 issa joke but it stems from truth, I've been In a couple beamers and they're always fucky with the multimedia player and they never quite work right in my experiences. That's not the whole electronics system though.
Since everyone else is chiming in,,,first off, a heck of a good job!! I mean for real. Next thing is they actually make a universal pivot for drive shafts it's like knuckle. You could turn the angle of tge rear end up more and or put like a limit chain on the rear end so it doesn't go down when you let off the gas. I'm going to say that's why it pops out. Also I know Ike knows this but maybe just hasn't thought about it. Always disconnect the battery when you are welding because you can and will fry ECM, ICM, etc. And remember it's always easier for us viewers to see things, I'm still extremely impressed with not only your abilities but your friendship as well. Keep on keeping on. The batteries died in my ezgo golf cart so I'm about to tackle putting in a 110 cc motorcycle engine in it. It's converter clutched and electric start so here we go.
its like someone sold that BMW engine, welded up a steel "crate" to ship it in and these guys somehow found it like: "wow! Go Kart! Just missing a few parts!
Maybe you could tilt the rear end up a little bit?, And Audi old valve spring or something on the BMW side of the drive shaft to keep some spring tension on the rear end? Something to think about. :-)
I think you guys should run side pipes outside the frame, with cherry bombs, and turn-out or turn-down tailpipes. Maybe some kinda window nets, to keep your extramities inside the vehicle...
I would honestly rethink the whole design. You could definitely do something less janky and dangerous. Y'all build epic stuff all the time. This is by far the worst design/build quality I've seen from y'all in my opinion. I believe if you take your time and rethink the whole build it could be something that would bring more success for y'all. Edit: try thinking of building from the cockpit then design around that. Better seat. Better protection for the driver.. Ect..
I like how they include parts of the troubleshooting process, it seems like the ability to efficiently problem solve is what separates good mechanics from bad ones.
It really sounds so good. I always laugh when a guy rolls past me on a BMW bike because they're SO quiet and they're very underwhelming motorcycles, but this engine sounds really good and snappy.
Just a little tip, not sure if you guys will ever run into this problem at all. But in the past I have fried ECM's from welding on chassis without the the battery disconnected. So just to save you a little head ache possibly in the future. If it happens to be a newer computer you should disconnect the battery while welding. Its only happened to me on two different occasions. I thinks its awesome the thing you guys build. I bought an old 1985 Honda Odyssey that I planned on putting my 04 Honda CBR600F4i engine in. Cant wait to knock it out and rip it at the sand dunes
that shifting looks pretty harsh, i mean like i would have prefered it the other way "aerodynamic" way. with higher gear when pulling back and lower when pushing forward. You might alsowant check the throw of it, it looks like it has a quite a big distance, but coming along nicely, those pedals are the little things you guys need in these builds!!!
So awesome to finally be able to DRIVE this machine after working on it for months

I just have one question, why is Owen Wilson in your shop working on the motor cart??....Is he on the payroll now??
He is just here because they need a cute one.
Thats young Joe exotic sir.
Wow
When that drive shaft snaps that's going to be a nice little nut buster
Welding on that frame can spike the Ecm.
@The Truth of the Matter not true the computer has a constant 12v signal going in for computer memory they welded with the battery hooked up and it shorted the computer
Sounds awewome. Need some bars near your elbows to keep you protected. Sliding seat back will put more weight on the rear tires for more traction... great build
The coolant likely has a massive air pocket if it isn't warming the return pipe.
Or the stat is stuck closed
I also have a crossfire pro. I noticed that your torch is a little loose in the video. I see it rotate a bit when it moves. That will reduce your cut quality. Also you can put a sketch on the face of a part and attach a tool path to single lines. Just select "center" instead of left or right when setting up your tool path. Also change your lead in and out to zero degrees and it will just extend the line a little. For holes I use 90 degree lead in with .07" to .125" distance. For small holes you will not be able to use the full .125" and you'll have to knock it down a bit.
Those pedals are so sweet
Tampa nice im in lee county ima sub to you. I love finding local guys on yt
@@ronniewilliz153 heck ya brother right back at ya
Try starting your plasma cuts off the finish edge (like in the center of your hole). Helps with that starting burr
I'll say it again, that is a REALLY bad location for the radiator. Between three of you guys I can't believe you didn't think to put it up behind the seat on the frame bars that met at the top. By the wheel it's going to get pelted with rocks and filled with mud and dirt. 👎
I was thinking the same thing. If they just face it forwards It will get better airflow to. I think they are gonna have cooling problems in the future.
I swear this was meant to be a high ground clearance even "rock crawler" type vehicle. Now it's a open flat space speed machine? I think they've realised a little too late that they've built a pig and have to run with it. Including poorly placed items and janky solutions made to fit around problems that could have been solved earlier in the build.
@Jeff Kopis that's why you make sure it doesn't spring a leak. Real Trophy Trucks with open backs have been running this setup for years. The inlet and outlet of the rad doesn't even have to be facing forward. That way if it does leak it will spray out towards the back. What I'm explaining is the all out perfect location for the rad. It's protected and will have much better airflow.
Look at these setups:

@@derpydog1008 Exactly! Either cooling problems or it's going to get punctured or clogged by something.
@@JayC133 yep, and people have been commenting on these issues since they started the build. They really need to take constructive criticism better and implement the really good ideas.
That’s just too friggin cool! I love it! Y’all get those bugs worked out of it, that sob will definitely be a beast! Get er done fellars, get er done!
You should sell those pedals on your store.
You should pull back to shift up and forward to shift down !! Like a reverse shift pattern in a hot rod , race truck ect. That's better think about it when your ripping thru the gears getting pushed into the seat it's easier to pull back !! Probably to late but thought I would give you guys my opinion !! Anyways love your videos and watch every one love you guys !!
Please stop welding on a computerized system while the battery is connected!!
Trophy Truck needs one of those 1970's "FOOT" Pedals for the Accelerator!
Yes!! The ole barefoot gas pedal
@@elikedrowski6181 If they are even Available any more!
@@tkskagen I swear I've seen them at my local AutoZone way up here in Wisconsin. Course my memory is sort of like an old cassette tape that you can record over so I might be making that up without even knowing it
This is very far from being a trophy truck calling this a trophy truck is disrespecting them like Ricky Johnson said I'd you could look up the word macho in a dictionary they should be a pic trophy truck and this this has nothing macho about it
Less go first viewer and u guy should bring back the black widow
The Jed Clampett mobile is coming along nicely.
This is one of those videos I had to hit like on before it even loaded

Owen Wilson and Will Farrel meet roadkill; Love it!
"It's a really warm flame".
Have ever met a cold flame?
I haven’t watched this channel for about two years now and wow a lot has changed.
Can’t wait to see this thing all painted up going to be so sweet
Great job guys. A friendly advice tho. Make the shifter that pulling is shifting up. I think at the end you guys prefer that.
when is mini mayhem gonna be?
I want to see if I can go.
Hopefully I can.
Sadly cause of covid it might not happen for a long while
You right on that bud
So funny, the amounts of comments on a work in progress. Obviously a test run. Everyone needs to chill on the metal work, there’s no doubt plenty to make it complete. Looks super fun to me.
How real men become deaf 😂
PARDON!?
Eardrums are overrated.
Whatdya say?
Super cool build guys. I love the way this channel has evolved. Good stuff all around!
Heck ya so sweet guys y’all are the best
As someone who owned a BMW bike until recently, I'm really enjoying your wiring issues, haha

by far my least favorite project..... but im still watching. on to the next!!
You guys are already outgrown that shed
LETS GOOOO BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE!!!
same dude

You should really mount the radiator above the gas tank, on those two support bars
BMW with electrical problems... typical
🤣
Except it isn't typical for BMW's & it's simply a symptom of a butchered wiring harness & would be for any other in the same condition, Italian bikes typically suffer from dodgy electrics but if you really knew about European motorcycles you'd know that eh!
@@CaptainScarlet1961 issa joke but it stems from truth, I've been In a couple beamers and they're always fucky with the multimedia player and they never quite work right in my experiences. That's not the whole electronics system though.
Looking at the creek it would be perfect for an rc crawler course. Have you ever thought about building up an rc to run the creek bed?
It's definitely an ugly duckling 🤔
Needs some panels and a windshield
Awesome job on the trophy truck! I'd like to invite you guys to AZ this winter for some open desert rides!!
This sounds so nasty great job
Since everyone else is chiming in,,,first off, a heck of a good job!! I mean for real. Next thing is they actually make a universal pivot for drive shafts it's like knuckle. You could turn the angle of tge rear end up more and or put like a limit chain on the rear end so it doesn't go down when you let off the gas. I'm going to say that's why it pops out. Also I know Ike knows this but maybe just hasn't thought about it. Always disconnect the battery when you are welding because you can and will fry ECM, ICM, etc. And remember it's always easier for us viewers to see things, I'm still extremely impressed with not only your abilities but your friendship as well. Keep on keeping on. The batteries died in my ezgo golf cart so I'm about to tackle putting in a 110 cc motorcycle engine in it. It's converter clutched and electric start so here we go.
This buggy is so poorly designed
its like someone sold that BMW engine, welded up a steel "crate" to ship it in and these guys somehow found it like: "wow! Go Kart! Just missing a few parts!
Maybe you could tilt the rear end up a little bit?, And Audi old valve spring or something on the BMW side of the drive shaft to keep some spring tension on the rear end? Something to think about. :-)
FIX THE CROSSKART
I think you guys should run side pipes outside the frame, with cherry bombs, and turn-out or turn-down tailpipes. Maybe some kinda window nets, to keep your extramities inside the vehicle...
W[ooooo first comment. Love the vids. Btw im a teen and I want to work on go karts like you guys you inspire me

@@ryangrissom3532 LOL
That front end is absolutely drop dead gorgeous!
Said no one, ever.
I would honestly rethink the whole design. You could definitely do something less janky and dangerous. Y'all build epic stuff all the time. This is by far the worst design/build quality I've seen from y'all in my opinion. I believe if you take your time and rethink the whole build it could be something that would bring more success for y'all.
Edit: try thinking of building from the cockpit then design around that. Better seat. Better protection for the driver.. Ect..
I like how they include parts of the troubleshooting process, it seems like the ability to efficiently problem solve is what separates good mechanics from bad ones.
Y’all should build a mini fan boat and take it off Isaac’s pier
Man you out did yourselves!!
Man I can tell that plasma cutter is gonna change the game for you guys and I can’t wait to see what it does for you
Damnnnn it's going to be a super cold winter
one of my favorite videos ever!! need more 🏆 cart❗️❗️
It really sounds so good. I always laugh when a guy rolls past me on a BMW bike because they're SO quiet and they're very underwhelming motorcycles, but this engine sounds really good and snappy.
Just a little tip, not sure if you guys will ever run into this problem at all. But in the past I have fried ECM's from welding on chassis without the the battery disconnected. So just to save you a little head ache possibly in the future. If it happens to be a newer computer you should disconnect the battery while welding. Its only happened to me on two different occasions. I thinks its awesome the thing you guys build. I bought an old 1985 Honda Odyssey that I planned on putting my 04 Honda CBR600F4i engine in. Cant wait to knock it out and rip it at the sand dunes
that shifting looks pretty harsh, i mean like i would have prefered it the other way "aerodynamic" way. with higher gear when pulling back and lower when pushing forward. You might alsowant check the throw of it, it looks like it has a quite a big distance, but coming along nicely, those pedals are the little things you guys need in these builds!!!
