I build custom crawlers from $500-$3000 dollars but I still love nothing more than modifying or seeing a modified non hobby grade vehicles. Love what you're doing Phil keep it up!
It's makes me wonder why none of these RC companies have any I.P. licensing? Imagine if Traxxas did a legit brushless Mario Kart or Arrma doing a BLX Batmobile. Business wise, they would make a killing!
Yeah, I think there would be a huge market even if someone made bodies for the infraction and Felony that was Mario Kart or Batman. That’s would be sweet! Those bodies would stay sold out lol
Nintendo is notoriously locked down on their marketing and stuff etc so this will most likely never happen. They don't even let Twitch streamers play their games. Which is actually a terrible marketing move on their part tbh.
Most companies that make these things make them cheap as possible and just ride on the IP to sell the massively over priced crap they pump out. Plus the less money they put into it the more money they make since they likely have to pay out a percentage to the company that owns the IP and the more likely they'll get future contracts
Great project, you sound so stoked when he takes off 👌 Mario's lean when he turns is a classic bit of Nintendo charm too. Imagine the mayhem bringing a couple of these out with the kids and drawing up a chalk race track
I’m late to the party with this one. I don’t know why I haven’t see this before but this is so cool. Love the idea of taking something & improving it just like the Barbie cars 😎👍🏻
Mate I litterally was just thinking has anyone done a Mario kart and converted one to brushless, went on Google images and what do ya know it brought me here, you've made some good videos man, litterally only been a subscriber and follower of yours for a few month! Thanks man for all you're great content!
Awesome project and video! Imagine 3d printing some high quality gears for that rear end and getting some rubber on the feets! The sky is the limit and I would LOVE and pay to watch a squad of these race on a track!
What a fun build ! Would love to see a mario cart racing competition, maybe get some of your mates (Bearded RC thinking of you here) to do builds so you can race, would make some awesome vids i think ??
I bought this for my son would love to do somthing like this to it, iv misplaced the charger for the mario kart do you what the original charger is please?
What Pinion did you use? I‘m also doing a brushless conversion but don’t know what Pinion fit on the 2mm Motor shaft and the Carerra transmission gears.
That's the FUNNEST conversion you've done yet govna! Who needs Arrma's Typhons when we've got Mario's gocarts!! 😆 I'm thinking 3S would just melt the poor gearbox and just TRY finding those gears online 'eh?? Nice one Senōr rocking garage..👍
Please do this with the Mario Home Circuit car. I hear problems with it on inclines. It would be awesome to be able to upgrade it. I wonder if you could take the guts out and throw it into the car you used in this video.
@@TomleyRC reckon you should you should make one,,you have tec,n know how bro,, MORE POWER,,🤣🤣👍..if you decide to make one,,give me channel a shout,😉😉👍,as idea came from me me me,,lol😇😇🤣🤣👍
That looks great phil i wouldent worrie anout that gear set too much they are 48 pitch and can take a bit of abuse just lube the splined and they will be fine
hello, i have the same project. can you say me where you bought your new motor pignon. i don't know where i could find and buy it? if you have a link thank you so much. Nice vidéo
Can u do this to any rc car I shop at goodwill bins and find rc parts and cars pretty often just picked up this Mario cart one but has left steering issues
@Tomley RC hi. Im planning on fixing my mario kart carrera rc. I fried the board. What servo model and what pinion did you use. Im planning on ordering the parts but i dont want to miss anything as im not very experienced with this. Hope you can help me , thanks
@@thelastdragon5551 hard doesn't have to be bad. I would love to see something like this for Mario Kart Live. MKL karts just don't have enough power for some of the more interesting track possibilities.
@@priestesslucy I agree with the lack of power to go on ramps and such. Not to mention the connectivity issues when it’s not near and spotty WiFi. There was a RUclips clip (can’t seem to find anymore) where someone put a GoPro on one of these. Looks crazy fast. Could probably navigate in a big open area. Certainly not indoors. It’s just too much speed. Add in AR and you can see how insanely hard it would be to play.
@@thelastdragon5551 I mean, just doubling the power (power transmitted through the wheels, not necessarily raw motor power) would probably suffice. Would be ideal to incorporate slightly sharper turning radius as well, but that would absolutely require a separate frame rather than just a few part exchanged
@@TomleyRC more powerful motors could mean more ambitious ramps and jumps in track designs. And nobody else seems to be doing it right now so it’s free real estate
Hahahahaa!!!!!!! This is so cool :) ! This is exactly what I also would want to do with this go kart if I had one :) Good job! Look for steel gears for it maybe and see if you can upgrade the gearbox for 3s. You have turn this go kart for the real deal like the game ;) ! Extreme= Even more fun and crazy! Dont forget the banana peels and the koopa turtle shells.
I think that you should make one of the 4 stroke rc cars that everyone is making, I saw the one that Kevin is making and I believe that you could show him up with a better one. Also, idk if you saw Johnnyq90’s version of it yet but I think you should watch it.
Yeah, I've seen a few people do that. Not been following Kev's one....seems to be going on and on... RC Tanks And Trucks has done a decent conversion on a truck as well... looked awesome!
I don't know much about building RC stuff but I think i could get this done. Do you by chance have an itemized list of the parts n part numbers so I can give this a try? I'll email ya if it's easier??
Haha! Awesome stuff, Phil! Mario looked like he was having nearly as much fun as you! Cool little project, you made it look like a simple conversion. Did you try it with the gyro off? :))
Cheers Mark haha...yeah, even though it was 08.30 on a cold Sunday morning, it was awesome fun! I need to set the Gyro up to be remotely operated from the transmitter... that saves me taking screws out to try it.
@@TomleyRC Oh for the love of RC! You are truly more committed than me - I am still in bed at 9am on a Sunday! Yeah, good idea for the gyro, no screwdriver needed! :-)
It would be hilarious to see this entered into an amateur RC race, lol. Great job!
Hahaha
Please do this with the Mario Kart Live toy🙏
Yes. This. Or take camera and whatever electronics from the kart live to another rc car, so it works with Mario game.
That's just asking for 300cc. Which I'm all for
@@giraoshaw more like 3000cc
I build custom crawlers from $500-$3000 dollars but I still love nothing more than modifying or seeing a modified non hobby grade vehicles.

Yes, this was quite some time ago. Still have it and will be ripping it around my track soon 👌
Sweet dude, just imagine people host an event for these RCs. Basically Mario Cart IRL.
Would be awesome!
Put rubber bands over the wheels to preserve them.
make it 2 speed and on the high speed, have some leds light up like it ate a star D;
Nice little project ideal for a little ones rc when they grow out of it
Yeah...or 3s and a bigger motor for us adults haha
Great idea :) Brushless is almost always possible. Super implemented. Slide also like the real Mario :D
Thanks mate. Was good fun

I'm currently making another one as well ;) Cheers for the support
Adapt this in mario kart live home circuit. Very nice.
Awesome project and video! Imagine 3d printing some high quality gears for that rear end and getting some rubber on the feets! The sky is the limit and I would LOVE and pay to watch a squad of these race on a track!
After having a really bad day at work today,this video cheered me rite up. Thanx 😎👍
No worries Jon. I had a pretty bad week last week also.... nice to destress with some RC's
I like these videos that you make things from cheap rc stuff. I love the barbie car for ur daughter. I've made my daughter a few rc vehicles
Love the idea of boosting a toy like that,makes it much better.
I have something else coming soon.... completely different to this 👍
2:17 “Wooahhh, don’t break it *yet* “ 🤣
Cool project! I really enjoyed the build and results.
Thanks mate
*Yiiiiipie!*
- Mario
Haha
That was one awesome build !
Thanks Eddie
These things are fun out of the box in the house. We have done SO many laps chasing each other around
This is awesome! I just got the Mario and Luigi Circuit Special RC's and I would love this done to both
Cheers dude
another great entertaining video my friend!! i like the way that mario would lean as it steered:) pretty good speed and actually alright car stock!
You went from 50cc division to 100cc 😁
haha...yeah, 3s will be 150cc
Sweet cart
Nice to see some new, not one dimensional content. 🏁
Cheers mate. I like to try and be a bit creative
When Mario gets the star
Yes, I thought about trying to get a start edited in to the video.... but will wait till next time :)
Awesome
Dude 👍👍👍👍
Cheers dude
Given it looks stout and there's a bit of room inside, almost like they made it with modding in mind.
Yes, it’s wasn’t too bad to do
That is so cool! Love it!
Thanks dude
Cool 😎
I want this sooo bad now..... Thanks
Mario now has 100 percent, powah.
Mario: Oh shit, here we goooooooo!
My god man that’s cool👍🏻
Your always doing cool builds got my £20.99p hbx rampage watching u while its charging lol
Cheers dude. Enjoy that bargain truck!
Great stuff my friend
Thank you
That is awesome 🤩
I just bought the mario kart xl anti-gravity racer. Will the same mods apply. I really want to mod mine
Excellent video and enhancement to the Mario Kart. I wish I had the technical know how to convert the one I have.
This is what Nintendo should have made!
Amazing build!!
Thanks Panza
Realy nice ! ! Génial !! i love it 😍
Will need replacement tires 🤔
Only if you do to many burnouts 😅
Awesome man
stock motor = 50cc
upgraded motor with 2S Lipo = 100cc
upgraded motor with 3S Lipo = 200cc
Like that idea 😎👍
lol I'd quit at 2S with the little thing, 19-20 mph is screaming for what it is to start with.
too cool and cute to have it burn up.
Yes, pretty quick. If I can find a spare gearbox, I'll put a 3s in there.
This is the model they would use in the commersial.
that was cool,great video and biuld
Thanks mate
I work on toy shop for carrera iknow its pain in the but to remove and put all together the screw good job you got the subscribe for being awesome
Thanks mate. It is a pain, but worth the trouble
Do not ever try 3s on that the gear are to weak hahaha
I need this for my mario cosplay I cosplay as shyette and that's so fun to drive 😉
So cool!
And I like your music.
That's awesome!
How tf are you not only so good at modding it, but able to record and drive well at the same time.
What a fun build ! Would love to see a mario cart racing competition, maybe get some of your mates (Bearded RC thinking of you here) to do builds so you can race, would make some awesome vids i think ??
Yes, I had thought of that.... need to find a Yoshi :)
What is the trim button for? My daughter just got this on her birthday
Great vid.
Great modification! Haha
I bought this for my son would love to do somthing like this to it, iv misplaced the charger for the mario kart do you what the original charger is please?
That’s awesome
What Pinion did you use? I‘m also doing a brushless conversion but don’t know what Pinion fit on the 2mm Motor shaft and the Carerra transmission gears.
First! Nice project! Love Mario. PS. New merchandising?
Cheers dude. Yeah, added a new 'Creator' design
Nice man! 👍😃👍 That’s awesome! 👍😃👍
Cheers Wayne. So much fun to build and drive!
Tomley RC Yeah it look like it! 👍😃👍
That's the FUNNEST conversion you've done yet govna! Who needs Arrma's Typhons when we've got Mario's gocarts!! 😆 I'm thinking 3S would just melt the poor gearbox and just TRY finding those gears online 'eh?? Nice one Senōr rocking garage..👍
Yeah, this thing was cool to build, and even cooler to run!
The tyre's is screaming....... We was not made for this'ssssssssssssssssssssss 😁
haha
Please do this with the Mario Home Circuit car. I hear problems with it on inclines. It would be awesome to be able to upgrade it.
I wonder if you could take the guts out and throw it into the car you used in this video.
Lol!! Good fun bro!! 😁
cheers dude
What kind of battery did u use? The slot is quite small and in the vid you have a big battery
I forgot to share a pic in the video, but I think it was out of a 1/16 brushless ZD Racing or similar
Tracks should have a toy grade class where things like this should race each other
Nice video! Happen to have the model number of that mario kart ?
Hey Mario where is luiegi lol 😁👍love the way he turns with car,,off road version bro, reckon you could make one,,how cool would that be 😎😎😁😁👍
Yeah that would be really cool

Hi, what is the grey little truck in the background. Thanks
Ive done video on a mini mario kart rc car. Its fun but id love to have this little beast. Cool video bro
I'll check it out later dude. 👍
Can u do this to any rc car I shop at goodwill bins and find rc parts and cars pretty often just picked up this Mario cart one but has left steering issues
This is awesome
I always wanted to upgrade one of these.You think this will perform better then the infamous twin city turbo ?
Hi again. I wonder what lipo battery you are using? Car or flight lipo? Size? Thank you
It was a 1000mah 2s Lipo, i can't remember what car it was out of

Sir tom just wanna ask how many teeth did you used on the pinion gears
can i please buy the updated version of this toy from you please? im seriously wanting to buy this.
