The production value on these videos has really gone up! Love the cut away scenes and the music and music placement! Keep up the good work boys, y'all are my favorite channel.
shu4208 the all wheel drive will have a torque and grip advantage bit the 670 is lighter and will probably have a higher top speed. The awd carts top speed will only be as good as one of the engines as they all will be working together. Depending on the length of the race either one could win. :P
I like this channel because it's different. The music lessens that difference. If I want to watch a vlog there are thousands of channels out there guys. You're doing your own thing, I get what you're trying to do and I respect it, but I'd say stick to being yourself! Take it easy fellas, it'll be fine
the idea of four independent engines has me thinking of a way to do the throttles. i thought of a way that might work, where you could use all four engines with one pedal and also be able to independently control them with a handle. the pedal would be hooked up to a plunger that will pull all four throttles at once and the handle will move whole the system around, pulling certain throttle cables depending on how you move it
@@wavez_4696 ah, I take it you've never heard of the Honda Prelude then? Or the Mars Rover? Or an 8x8 off road truck? A lot of vehicles you probably don't realize, have 4 wheel steering. It doesn't have to turn as much as the front wheels to be considered 4 wheel steering, but a small bit of flexibility in the back wheels to make the cars corner tighter on smaller radius turns and high speed maneuvers helps massively. If Honda did it in their sporty car, the Prelude, I think it's a very serious engineering possibility to consider.
just sharing my idea, not saying you guys should because there's probably something wrong about my idea, but i would because it sounds innovative. I would rig the rear wheels to have more torque (lower the gear ratio) and, to equal measures, raise the gear ratio for top speed in the front. my reasoning being that the rear wheels get more grip that the front, so i would get just as good (probably not better) acceleration and more top speed. It just seems cool. you guys' build is awesome!!
I spent 40 years as a tool maker and used cut off wheels daily . The thinner the wheel the faster they wear but cut faster . Just what you have to contend with when you are fabricating.
It's so great, guys! Awesome job! If you guys put some sort of slippery material on it you guys could turn it into an AWD drift kart! First of its kind
I instantly thought about a skid-steer type setup.... 2 levers, pull back on them, brakes... push forward, throttle for the engines. No steering, no problems. Engines might need more power for that though.... Still pretty sweet.....
Dooley Dooley DEFINITELY. add to that, 4 smaller sprockets on those wheels to give the beast some running legs. when it was FWD it had power to spare doing front burnouts, now that it's 4WD double the HP, might as well!
Here's a good idea!!!! Put an adjustable track bar between the center of the front engine mounts so it pushes them out. It will still allow you to steer and it will also provide the force to keep it from having so much negative camber. Basically like having a solid A arm if you can make out what I'm trying to explain.
I think everything is going well. Getting all the chains aligned and tight as can be will relieve that issue ..Chain lube on the tight chains is a great for not popping off and not creating undue friction./The steering ratio seems scary.. No fast twitch reaction time.A cross beam from plate to plate across the back would solve all and any flexing
I think it's epic. I had a thought on the four throttles...use a BMX style brake caliper (rim pad type) to pull two pair of cables towards each other from a single cable from pedal. Mounted correctly it should pull two from rear and two from the front evenly with all 4 cables the same length. just a thought. Good luck with steering so much weight. Also tie the tops of both rear motor plates to each other and do the same with the fronts using Heim joints on the ends.
Hi guys. I love this unusual project and think she's really going to show her awesomeness on the dirt, mud and hill climbing. If you keep having chain hop problems then check out motocross chain guides. They're made of some sort of really hard nylon that dose not wear the chain and sometimes sprung loaded to keep a constant tention. I Look forward to the next upload.
Foot pedal throttle for the two rear engines, the other foot is a brake for all wheels. The two front engines are controlled by a hand throttle on the steering wheel
On the rear, add a bar between the left and right engine plates, that'll keep them from being pulled down and losing the chain. And on the front maybe a second spindle on top on each side to connect the plates?
And maybe add cross braces in the rear if needed :) Maybe do some upgrades to the rear engines to send more power to the rear wheels and it might feel more like rwd.
Truth be told, most cutoff wheels burn out very fast. Some point if possible a plasma cutter and an air compressor should be picked up. Straight edges like flat stock, angle iron, or straight piece of wood works great to help cut. Couple vice grips do well holding it together. Free handing does well if you're good at it, most of us are not.
Ratkill9000 I agree the cut off wheels don't last long. But the combined cost of a compressor and plasma torch is too much for these guys. Just a regular Oxy Acetylene torch would do them wonders.
You could decrease the flex a little bit by relocating all four gas tanks. Would take some weight off the engine mounts. Have all four engines draw fuel from one tank?
Bolt type chain adjusters against the engine bottoms like some motorcycles use at the rear of the swing arms... plus spring-loaded swinging slack remover idler sprockets...
You guys are awesome, you crack me up. I have a New challenge for you: I've never seen anyone build a sprocket and chain setup similar to a 10 speed bicycle for changing gears. I would love to see if it can be done, and what the top speed would be with one engine.......Stay Cool :) :) :)
What if later on(future), You guys make the chassis articulate. Kind of like the front axle of a lawn tractor, but at the rear of the 4WD go-kart. That way the 4 wheels will be more in contact with the ground, over uneven ground.
hey heres an idea for one throttle paddel : At a bmx/bike store there are such things called cable splitters. when you would have three of those you could link it together to one cable.
The production value on these videos has really gone up! Love the cut away scenes and the music and music placement! Keep up the good work boys, y'all are my favorite channel.
thanks
You guys are geniuses! Can't wait to see the 670 vs all wheel engine cart.
shu4208 thats what i was thinking
shu4208 Yes 670 vs 848
shu4208 the all wheel drive will have a torque and grip advantage bit the 670 is lighter and will probably have a higher top speed. The awd carts top speed will only be as good as one of the engines as they all will be working together. Depending on the length of the race either one could win. :P
THIS IS THE MOST EPIC THING I'VE SEEN ON RUclips, MIND BLOWN!!!!
Ike's sideburns are goals lol
I get so excited whenever I see a new episode on this build. Keep it up guys!!
Haha the chicken seeing his reflection.
I had a customer last week with a broken sliding glass door from the turkeys attacking it 😂
This is one of the craziest go carts ever created,I really enjoyed watching you guys build it.
9:28 The face of a man that is about to drive a four-engine go-kart of Hell's Fury!
thank God you guys finally addressed trimming those plates, They have bothered me the entire series.
I've been waiting for this!! You guys are awesome! :D
John, you're doing a great job of raising your production and edit quality. Keep it up!
love the editing. Ike's a super star.
If you install brakes only in the rear or front, the other wheels would rotate independently and do a burnout... (idea?)
Oscar Nolden a little thing to add on. Independently selectable brake modes. Front brakes only, rear brakes only, etc.
I'm sure they have enough space for 8 pedals, for independent throttle and brakes of each wheel.
Stryke go hydraulic and fit a bias valve and/or line locks -job done
J. Hile that's how you do a burnout bud
where I come from of there's smoke and you smell rubber burn it's a burnout, but walkin it out is a lot more fun I must say
Dude, That freaking thing looks SICK!!!!!!! In a good way.
thanks
Getting there!!!!!! can't wait to see the next video! AWESOME GUYS!
I love the music. A lot of people have the same ol boring music. This music is definitely unique and original. I love the montages.
youve couldnt have chosen a better day to post about this extreme American invention
I like this channel because it's different. The music lessens that difference. If I want to watch a vlog there are thousands of channels out there guys.

good shit ike, you did hell of a good job
Looking forward to the finished project. Hope you boys have some good brakes to put on there too!

Love the editing while ike was welding the gussets.
Next project idea for cars and cameras: 4 wheel steering go kart! Up vote so they can see it!
Personally I think that’s the silliest thing I have ever heard in a comment section lol 😂
@@wavez_4696 reddit would surprise you my friend
@@SailingFrolic I just don’t see the point of 4 steering wheels...4 motors is cool but 4 steering wheels I don’t think so
@@wavez_4696 ah, I take it you've never heard of the Honda Prelude then? Or the Mars Rover? Or an 8x8 off road truck?

I love it! The video quality seems really good on this one!! You guys keep it up!!!
That is so sweet guys 😬👍can't wait for the next vid !!!!!!!

3Ddee but the front engines wouldn't be able to keep up with the rear because of that gearing, correct me if I'm wrong
Nick Mathews no the problem is it might overrev the back motors...
lol lol this SICKK , Can't wait for the TOP SPEED. GREAT JOB
I've actually never clicked a video so fast! I just got a 301 for my kart today it's gonna be fine!
Pure awesomeness. Can't wait to see it do some real running and racing.
Love this project! Can't wait to see the bugs worked out- that things going to scream...
lol at the moment when jhon was adding up all he cc's i was geting my phone out for the caculater lol perfect timing
You bloody ripper ! once you get the bugs ironed out you will have so much fun cant wait for the next installment
lol. yea we are working on it
what a blast
@ 3:56 "...that's what I thought..." hahaha, comedy gold!
I spent 40 years as a tool maker and used cut off wheels daily . The thinner the wheel the faster they wear but cut faster . Just what you have to contend with when you are fabricating.
Awesome Job love it, it's like the Subaru of Go Karts, needs some torque vectoring :-)
adamanders7 Yeah! Torque vectoring! It will be a demon at turning! :D
Awesome!!!
Great work getting it going!
Can not wait for the next one
It's so great, guys! Awesome job! If you guys put some sort of slippery material on it you guys could turn it into an AWD drift kart! First of its kind
sick vid as always 👍👍👍👍

i just cant wait to see that beast offroad
That was fun to watch!
That thing is awesome, Shake and Bake.
What's up dawg been painting your finger nails. lmao😂😂😂
Use stainless cutting wheels, way harder material in them...
That thing is going to fly!!
Dudes! that is so cool!! can not wait to see how it does, once you get the bugs out. The 670 will not hang.
thanks
Paddle wheels ready for the sand drags at Myrtle Beach Arena!! I'm there! OMG!!!
When all the bugs get worked out this thing is gunna freakin fly
so glad you trimmed those engine plates. There is probably more that can be removed to increase ground clearance.
This thing is pretty sweet!
another great video! success!
wow cool CVTs
Damn son, Sporting Avon sunglasses. Nice.
You can now call it The Cars Earth Rover.
That pull dude awesome keep it up
mental. That launch was insane.
What did they do to their Green Miata to make the back look like a mini Viper?
another comment, wire all four kill switches together
Dooley Dooley DEFINITELY. add to that, 4 smaller sprockets on those wheels to give the beast some running legs. when it was FWD it had power to spare doing front burnouts, now that it's 4WD double the HP, might as well!
do it
and get a faster steering BoX thats a too slow its look like sematruck driver when you steering
Kyle Seymour you :)
A very wise idea in case one of the throttles sticks
This is fricken awesome. Next, brakes?
THIS IS WHERE DREAMS ARE MADE
Best go cart ever
Here's a good idea!!!!
Put an adjustable track bar between the center of the front engine mounts so it pushes them out. It will still allow you to steer and it will also provide the force to keep it from having so much negative camber. Basically like having a solid A arm if you can make out what I'm trying to explain.
Make the front gear ratio higher so the front motors give more top end cause they're spinning anyway down low. Love the vids... Dis thing is BEAST!!!
I can't wait to see when it's done
That take off lol! you see his head go back!!
I think everything is going well. Getting all the chains aligned and tight as can be will relieve that issue ..Chain lube on the tight chains is a great for not popping off and not creating undue friction./The steering ratio seems scary..

I left you at 4 PULL STARTS!!! but I came back when he said 2 CHAAAAAAAINNSS!!
Quick question , can you do a reverse kit installation vid ?
On the rear, add a bar between the left and right engine plates, that'll keep them from being pulled down and losing the chain.
And on the front maybe a second spindle on top on each side to connect the plates?
And maybe add cross braces in the rear if needed :)
Maybe do some upgrades to the rear engines to send more power to the rear wheels and it might feel more like rwd.
Not sure if this is mentioned but you should cross brace the two rear engine brackets and brace the front engine brackets (like a shock tower brace).
When cutting clearance try leaving a radius in the corner. It is much stronger. Try drilling a hole first then cut to the drilled hole .
for all the free advertising you are giving to Lincoln, you should hit them up for a plasma cutter!
This is still my favorite ever video
haha was that chicken pecking at the car! confounded creatures!
Crazy awesome build
It's not the best build but interesting to see how y'all over come obstacles with this, music was great
thanks
new T-shirt (need to gusset that..)
Question,while trying to start my mini bike the spark plug shot off and won't start anymore after the spark plug was tightened what should I do?
This is the definition of America!!
4 Engines SICK
That cart will be a monster when the gremlins are evicted lol
I don't care what everyone else says, I like the new music.
What if you did the rear engines on a single peddle. then use two brake levers on the steering wheel for independent from engine throttles
Not sure if there is enough room but is there anyway you guys can add another seat between the rear engines??? Like the ss3 military vehicles!
Truth be told, most cutoff wheels burn out very fast. Some point if possible a plasma cutter and an air compressor should be picked up. Straight edges like flat stock, angle iron, or straight piece of wood works great to help cut. Couple vice grips do well holding it together. Free handing does well if you're good at it, most of us are not.
Those were going way fast. On my 4.5", I can do about 20 cuts per wheel, using standard dewalt wheels.
Ratkill9000 I agree the cut off wheels don't last long. But the combined cost of a compressor and plasma torch is too much for these guys. Just a regular Oxy Acetylene torch would do them wonders.
Zeke770 Never cared for oxy fuel for cutting sheet metal. Though it is cheaper.
Ratkill9000 I use the cheapie wheels... they last awhile... but 1/4 plate eats them like crazy... I use my Sawzall for the thicker stuff
They do make "hard" cut off wheels. They cost more, but they last a lot longer.
Now you can say you got a 4 banger
You could decrease the flex a little bit by relocating all four gas tanks. Would take some weight off the engine mounts. Have all four engines draw fuel from one tank?
put chain tensioners on it
Bolt type chain adjusters against the engine bottoms like some motorcycles use at the rear of the swing arms... plus spring-loaded swinging slack remover idler sprockets...
the art of riggory I love it
