Well as long as you square it up while you're working it won't be a big deal. It's a go kart. Really don't have to worry about it tracking or worry or not if it dog legs slightly
Very innovative.. simple transmission,was checking out the homemade lathe,this guy is truly got it together, don't see very many people who can craft and build everything that they need if they want something done!
damn all these youtube’s are so professional with their lathes and shit and i’m over here tryna build a truck with an angle grinder and some zip ties 😂
oooooooow! Fancy!! I didn't have access to those yuppy paris hilton style zip ties! all I could afford were dollar store bandaids you stuck up hipster! :)

Riiight. You mean the "shoddy" welds that seem to be holding just fine on ALL his other projects? Just a sec . . . let me check YOUR welding videos. Ok, you've got NOTHING. Not a surprise, right? No-talent assholes always have LOTS of technical advice/comments. Snipe from the bushes. You're the MAN! Not . . . As a fabricator myself, this guy rocks. I could never hand fit round tubing without a shit load of jigs and clamps like this guy. Great design - simple robust components and unlike YOU, he doesn't just talk - he talks AND walks. So, stick around. Watch more of his videos. Surprise the RUclips audience and get some life skills. Dick.
You're awesome. I just watched all your lathe vids and I'm extremely impressed. PLEASE be more careful w/ your back. I've suffered 18 years of back problems because I lifted one of those old fat tire minibikes the same way you lifted that engine. POP, ruptured a disc. Next week I'm having vertebrae fused with rods and screws, my second back surgery. Been on disability since December after 18 years of painfully suffering thru work and finally couldn't do it anymore. I'm 37. I was 19 and playing college baseball at the time I ruptured that disc, I could run 4 miles a day no problem and bench 325 8 times, so being in shape doesn't cut it...you gotta think before you lift. A blown disc will ruin your future with machining and riding off road stuff....Don't end up like me, you're too talented.
You should run 2 separate axles in the rear so that the rear wheels can sway individually. Just make them like swing arms on a bike. It would be a much smoother ride and could handle corners better at high speeds
Next time drill holes and plug weld them much cleaner look and if you need more strength other then them being pressed in then bevel the edges so you get a better weld and then you can still grind it smooth, you probably already know this, keep building bro nice work
Awesome build , hope you don't care but I'm gonna try to replicate this build , had this project mulling around my head for years but lacked the vision to kick it off , but I'll be using a motor cycle engine can't wait till next vid👍
You must lift with your knees! I've thrown out my back a few times because of improper lifting procedures and I'm only 31. It's absolutely debilitating. The way my doctor described the mechanics to me is like so -- when you bend over to pick something up, your lower back becomes the base of a long lever, and the weight supported there can be as much as 10 times what you're lifting. lifting a 100 pound engine? That's 1000lbs your lower back is trying to support. Great video, I'm new to the channel and loving it, but your lifting techniques will hurt you if you're not careful.
I really enjoy the lathe work. Is there any bushing or bearing in the 2 speed transmission that lets the non engaged sprocket spin on the jackshaft without wearing it down?
Beautiful fabrication. You could have reduced the complexity of the front suspension by welding a vertical tube to the pivot for the spindle support. Then you could have used a tube between the top and bottom pivots and welded the spindle directly to that, similar to what you did to your "A" arm pivot on the frame. This would have avoided the turning restriction caused by the channel iron contacting the steering arm. I am currently building the "A" arm suspension for an off road cart& was noodling over this same issue. The I had an Aha ! moment and this solution presented itself. When you do your triangulation of frame members it is better to terminate your tubes at the corner of another triangle. Connecting at mid span induces a bending moment that can compromise the structure. Think in terms of, it is best for your members to be in pure tension or compression for maximum strength . there will be exceptions, but this is a good rule of thumb to follow. Again, I am impressed with your design and fabrication skills.
That Honda engine would be an awesome swap in the future but they are a really high revving engine and aren't tuned for torque if you could find an old 400xr or 400ex Honda they would be ideal for this kind of project they make less HP than that 600 but they still make plenty enough torque and HP and they make it in a rpm range that is much better for the speeds you will be using this at most of the time, plus their air cooled so no radiator like with the 600. Other similar fairly cheap options would be a 350 warrior or raptor, Suzuki Drz 400,or even a 300ex although their down on power compared to the others still a lot stronger and smoother than that 420 and they have 5 forward gears and reverse. I think this is a cool project man good job.
Please get that yz 85 working again that would be a great series of you restoring it or making it useable again. Guys like this so rather b welding can see!!!
If you took two seconds to shine up the ends of what you’re welding it would weld much better and be much stronger weld. Like the small pieces just chuck them in the lathe and use some sandpaper and buff the ends off before welding. I ain’t bashing just an idea for ya. Keep up the rad builds.
Great video. The two parts you're making at 6:10, which you then affix to a short tube and weld them together. Is there a reason you didn't just machine that part as one whole? What am I missing?
Can I get measurements/bend angles for the frame? I want to build something like this myself but I need dimensions along with what size tubing you used and where I can get some for relatively cheap
Awesome work on the build and the lathe. Just a suggestion. When you but weld 2 pieces together put a solid piece inside, it gives more reinforcement. Ive been welding 20 plus years ptofessionaly. Also i have a honda 750 street bike motor for sell for 150, just needs carbs rebuild and syned be great for this cart. Message me and we can talk.
At approximately 5:24 of the video, What’s the name of the stationary spinning tool/device that your using to spin the part in order to drill a hole into it?
I would do the go power sports power upgrades to the 420 and it will be fine!!! looks like a nice frame you are building. I want to try to teach myself to weld would you start with a stick or mig welder?
Bro tack it up, check it, then weld it. Don't stick it where it needs to be and just weld it solid. I know it takes longer but it's a good habit to get addicted to
It's far too expensive. Even if he set up 6 of the sprocket blanks in the lathe at once the amount if time it takes to make 3 transmissions like that all in a batch would cost far more than the finished product is actually worth
awesome....so need a welder(i'm assuming tig?)..........I like figuring stuff as I go.....looks like your using solid metal stock-maybe consider tubular stocl(lighter)-maybe aluminum?
wow awesome build .. Just found your channel & lov'n what I'm seeing..... I'm now a Subscriber... looing forward to every video you post.. Thanks for good videos...
Liked the build except like at 15:10.You need to put a piece of tubing,or solid stock whenever you butt weld 2 pcs of tubing together so it won't be near as prone to breaking.Safety first! ;-)
If you raise the seat up you could shorten wheel base by making it a side by side or car style seating position, this will raise center of gravity depending on how high you raise it up
I really enjoy watching your video. You make the process look so easy, but I guess the videos hide a lot of standing, staring and head-scratching while you figure out solutions?
I don’t agree.. you’ll never know what the 3/4 can withstand until u put it to the test... beside the bigger shaft just robs more power which is just working in reverse....
RandomGamer that's the trick to it lift entirely with your back and use none of you legs. You must make sure to lift in a jerking motion and twist as much as possible lol

I thought for sure we were going to see IRS , 2speed . cool anyway , liked
I'll be honest I'm actually amazed I wish my dad would help me convert my old 4 wheeler into a badass go kart its an old Honda 250 sport utility but hey you get what you can afford but unfortunately he just never has time to help me work on it just like my truck
AND he does it with a FLUX CORE WELDER.....shows all you need is ingenuity some time and desire to build anything.
Your every framepart is very good looking 👍

Talented guy. Make me want to get to work. Also make me want a lathe. Looks like you're out of argon.
so when you buy these motors, do they come with all the accessories cables, chain, throttle, spark plug, etc?
You use bricks like I use jack stands and 2x4’s for jigs. Love the content.
