      The 50 fps makes it look nicer, and if its buffering for you, your internet isnt fast enough

      Don't think you've seen many of them then. I've built a better one when I was 14. Welded though, so it was a bit more solid. People make go cards that look like they come out of a factory, this was just a fun project. It's funny seeing people so impressed by his work not realizing that he's just having fun and most of what he builds is just quickly thrown together.

    • @larrylentini5688

    1) have no words for your intelligence and clarity

    3) would appreciate to know
    a) are you changing gears without
    a clutch
    b) also want to understand why you did not simply weld the tie rod at an angle on the wheel /Tyre instead of painstakingly bending the square tube
    Thanks

    • @stratos59

    • @gordonlawrence3537
      @gordonlawrence3537 8 лет назад +7

      To keep it safe you would have to reduce power to 10HP max and 48V (to comply with the low voltage directive). That would still mean for a 10 minute run time you would need about a 2kWh battery to account for losses. Second hand you can get one for about double the price of this entire project (assuming lithium). The motor would then cost you about the same as this entire project and the electronics to control it would cost the same again. You could go cheaper and use lead acid but you would need 8 off 100AH batteries at about 30kg each. That's 240kg of batteries! It still would not be much cheaper as those are about £125 each. So still £1000 for batteries.

    • @Cloxxki
      @Cloxxki 8 лет назад +1

      Or, better/worse: a hybrid! For the more tinkering engineers, a nice project to work on drivetrain efficiency. I just told a friend with a hybrid supercar project to do a kart like this as a first step. Why wouldn't you?
      test first how much racing you get done on 1 liter of fuel. then add electric bits, and see how fast (and fast) it'll go then. Especially rain (or dirt) racing will be interesting, when yo add electric FWD.

    • @gordonlawrence3537
      @gordonlawrence3537 8 лет назад +1

      Cloxxki as mentioned above the reason you would not bother is cost. It would triple the cost of the build at least. A second hand 10KVA generator is about £1200 alone. That is more than the entire current build cost. Then you would need 4x 2.5HP (about 2KW) electric motors of a type suitable for driving the wheels. That would be about £800 if you were lucky, again more than the current build cost. Then you would need the electrical power train which would cost at least £500 as it is not a common type to use. So would you really want to spend in excess of £2500 for something that would cost you about £700 elsewise? Also remember it would vastly increase weight, reducing performance. So in effect you would have something between 3 and 4 times more expensive with probably 2/3 of the performance.

    • @Cloxxki
      @Cloxxki 8 лет назад +5

      Oh, I'd not disconnect the ICE from the wheels, that's crazy inefficient.
      In the supercar realm, hybrids are considered a performance booster. In the case of some that may be true, but indeed, overcoming its own added weight is quite a challenge.

    Hi Colon, I am from Salisbury, North Carolina, USA and I wanted to say thank you for your detailed videos. I am so enjoying watching them. As a child I was a kind of inventor but unfortunately as an adult I was in a tragic work accident which caused me to become disabled not completely but after many years I came to the conclusion I will never be 100% ever again. I have a wife of 34 years who has Multiple Sclerosis so or financial situation does not allow for much. I have a project restoration that I work on very infrequently due to my physical limitations but even worse financial limitations which is a 1981 Honda CB900 Custom. It needs a back rest, crash bars for the engine case as well as luggage. If we lived by you I would have loved to have your help in manufacturing the items as your work is so neat and clean. I wish I had the funds and talent to finish this project but I think I bit off more than I can chew. Thanks for your videos, Louis Grossi
