    I married a YZ250 engine to my kart in HS and it would smoke my 1986 GSXR750 to 95 MPH. That was a wicked fast kart…… thank goodness for slicks on the three piece wheels and disc brakes. It would frame twist a tire off the ground turning road to road. Finally spun it off the road and clipped a tree - bending the axle and damn near killing me from a crazy ejection. But I walked away.

    I bet that thing does scoot!
    Once I got back into minibikes and such around early 2019 my first new build was a like new doodlebug I picked up off marketplace. Threw a predator hemi and a china torq-a-verter and couldn't even hold on! Of course within a week it had an ARC rod and flywheel, bad ass secret cam grind from NR, shaved head and lots of hand porting from my automotive drag race experience. Put a sprocket adapter on and bought about 15 different red split sprockets and went to the track. Oh yeah fabbed a set of wheelie bars too. The first gen wheelie bar was a single wheel and did work but I needed a more stable launch so ended up with another set using dual wheels for wheelie bar. The bike runs 9.50s@67 in the 1/8 which is flying that close to the ground!
    I imagine this cart feels like a total monster when riding!
    We don't quite get the feel on video but that is not y'alls fault. That is something that is hard to capture on vid.
    This new ghost motor is just right for a certain market and definitely fits this wagon build!
    Next step is to do some port work on the head and throw in a much more hairy camshaft.
    Please do a vid on my suggestions!
    I subscribed and I'm waiting to see you take it to next level!
    If you need and wanna experience wheelie bars contact me and I can show you some tricks to use cheap materials to prototype a decent set, then you can make them out of mild steel and a welder and fancy wheels etc.
    Let's Gooooo!

      Ain't nothing wrong with HF motors. The predator series have been great for all my mini bikes go karts throughout the years. Properly break them in and they last a good while. For an extra 150 not having to buy any aftermarket mods or do any of the work myself / waiting for parts is definitely worth the price to me.

    I just bought the ghost engine and accessory kit and also a common 212 predator, I have two kits , a go cart and a mini bike to build, my son is turning 10 in November, has no experience with any of this , so I bought the stock motor for the go cart that I'm building for him to learn with, I like that it has a governor rated at like 6 hp, my dumb ass on the other hand am building a mini bike (like an old school Taco mini bike at 42 years old with a body that doesn't heal like a 10 year old lol) and am putting the Ghost motor in it, what I've researched is the Ghost makes 12 hp, should be fun on that little guy, had I read all this first I may not have bought the ghost and just bought a regular one and upgraded it for the money, anyways what's done is done, hold my beer !!
