The $50 Go Kart Build!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 фев 2025
- Before we get rolling on our rat rod Radio Flyer build, we decided to restore this $50 go kart we bought. It isn't pretty, and it isn't as feature-heavy as my $400 go kart, but it was well worth the $50.

How to build a go-cart for $50.
1) Find a $50 go-cart.
2) Buy it.
exactly!
I'm a sorry excuse for an American because I don't have an engine "just lying around".
3) Scrap 50% of it.
4) Put a couple of hundred in materials into it that you already own so that you can say they are free.
Deceptive title, cool video otherwise.

god i love going back to these old videos, seeing you guys come so far is amazing. keep it up
Hey guys, life pro tip: if it won't start, stick a power drill on the pull start shaft with a one way bearing. Works great!
I did try that but it did not work. However I’m going to try replacing the engine. I got the go kart back in fall of 2017 and it’s definitely older than how long I’ve had it. The engine has not run before
how to build a $50 go kart, then replace the engine
How to buy a few steel rods and 4 shitty miniature wheels, essentially.
And spray paint.

You complain when you can't get something cheap, and you complain when cheap isn't good enough. Gotta pick 1 and stick to it
So crazy this was six years ago, where the hell has time gone. So stoked to see the progression thru the years guys, I’ve been riding with y’all since day one and always will. See what Derek from Vgg can do about hooking y’all up with a lift for the new shop.
Removes oil plug: "is there supposed to be oil in there?"
That’s because it was supposed to be empty
Enjoy! Up next: wagon rat rod!
When is there gonna be a new video
William Matthews Today!
Hey did you remove the governor of your predator engine? ?
CarsandCameras Nice video! I just got my $50 dollar go kart working today!
CarsandCameras put a turbo on it lol
6:48 I thought he was calling Taylor a predator for a sec lol
5:50 that BEAUTIFUL Chevy, in excellent condition (from what you can see...but I don't doubt that everything's been taken very good care of)
It’s a Cadillac lol
8:15, fast & Furious 1 reference
Nice
Someone has nice taste😎
I see you are a man of culture.
im sitting in germany in my bedroom, and this lucky guy is drifting in his garden. Unfair life.
Andrès Holzinger such is life
Backyard
@@dseesecondchannel593 they call it a garden there
12:38 and that’s when “It’ll be fine” started.
1:13 idk why but this guy sounds like he sells propane
+Ben Maurer he sounds like hank! lol
Imran A. Mughal yeah
Dale damnit!
I was about to say the same
King of the hill
I paid £5 for mine yesterday what a bargain its a racing kart and its got a honda gx-160 engine on it
Where did you buy it from?
+Cool Raptor i got it from a dog hotel on the other side of town
RC MAYHEM Do you know any places I could possibly find or buy a cheap engine?
a scrapyard
i found a perfectly good tecumseh 6.0 hp engine for 10 bucks
Dang im from the future and yall have grown up so greatful to have learned from the best 👌
Ike sounds like hank hill
That camera kart was so awesome.
1:17 Hank Hill, is that you?
Eat your damn mash patatos bobby
I thought i told you! we sell propane, and propane accessories!
Professor Corndog032
Dragonstorm1557 GAMING i said that in his voice when i read it lol
Apparently you don’t have faith
The progress you all have made, it's heartwarming
Better hair for sure. lol
As a professional kart driver who drives real karts at international races across the country...
This is freaking sick.
I like how 3 years later you turn this into a monster truck
You got one hell of a "Pit Crew" there :)
The 58 Chevy in the background caught my eye
Joe Z caddy. its beautiful
Isaac Jennette Caddy..... sorry , I even had a black 58 caddy in the 70's. I should have looked closer. Back then a 58 chevy was called a "Baby Cadillac"
+Isaac Jennette no sine ride
Nice 300zx in the background at 5:16! :D I love my 1994TT
Just popped in an watched this after watching the finishing of the Yard Dart. You guys have come a long way in all these years! Awesome work, and keep it coming!
8:50 i love your texaco sticker above the door
can we setup a organization that reserves old gokart frames and engines tires etc and donates otherwise trash to those people who really want to build their own form of transportation but cant afford it? id love to see people turning trash into treasure like this across the country!
Legend has it that the grass has never grown back in some places in that yard.
does anyone else think this guy sounds like hank hill? lmao
danni b LET ME SELL YOU SOME PROPANE
Isaac Jennette and propane accessories
danni b
I think that was the joke, as that was like the only scripted part in the whole thing haha.
Oh yeah... you guys so need to build a flathead 5hp Briggs, in real time. Tear down, assessment, re-build. It would be fine if you evaluate ignition options and go with the best bang-for-the-buck. Awesome guys, keep up the fun...
wow, its crazy watching this video. I didn't realize how much the content has improved over the years to what it is now, and I cant believe this is now the monster truck lol.
"It'll be fiiiiine"
Famous last words
XD
i almost died of laugh at 2:55
+Borut Korosec i actually thought he had put it in
Ahh hell nah don't die of laugh
I found that bit really funny about fast and furious and the 10 second car 😂😂😂
Back in 'the day', the US Navy used to utilize a high-volume water pump during shipboard casualties, that operated on a small, hand-crank started, JET ENGINE! You KNOW you want to build a JET CART!!!
The thing is these vids are never legit cause u guys already have a bunch of stuff to add on we dont
You guys should really do more go kart videos!! There really entertaining
Ralph Febles Agreed
I thought I was watching Beavis and Butthead, but there's 4 of you. You pulled it off though. Good job.
The minty sausage.
That’s the best way to test spark I do it with my little brother, great video guys keep it up
I bought an older version manco dingo for $45, painted it, fixed it, got some missing bolts for it, and slapped a predator 212cc on it. It. Works great.
That one guy sounds like hank hill lmao
Exactly...
The go cart should've been called "the red rocket"
;)
It's not fast though
Cairo Murphy you'll understand one day son
I kinda want my own go kart now xD
$158 ish with a new predator is an awesome budget build. nice job guys
This the first cars and cameras I watched now I’m back here in 2021 🤣
One person doesnt need more than this for personal transportation. And yet we drive cars. This would be way more fun..
I bought a 6 hp engine for $21
Where?
Found one for free and bought a $15 carb for it. Runs perfect. They're out there. 😉
Yea generally for a kart you want a horizontal drive shaft. A lot of mowers will have a vertical. You COULD make it work on a kart it's just more work and not practical
A lot of hard work was put into this thing. Great job and it's awesome to see it run. Even if it's slow haha
That house is something else, damn.
I wish my friengo cart. would buy me a $50 gocart. He's lucky. Great job guys!!!!
ive got a 6.75 hp lawn mower motor and do not know anything about building anything. I wish i was smart enough to build my own with the motor.
+Tim Peters sooo does it work??
+MISFIT 414 yes
+Tim Peters cool man !!
i'm currently planning a build on a go cart using a downwards facing crank engine. I'm using a 90 degree gearbox from another mower. Should be fine i think.
You would usually use a horizontal shaft engine for a go kart so it could go much faster. You would need like a gear box for a vertical lawn mower engine
"just finished the oil change on the mini cooper..."
leaves video
I don't know anything about fixing / working on engines. how hard is it to replace an engine on a go kart? Is it simple if the engine is already assembled? I want to do something like this.
+Robby MH If you're just replacing one engine with another identical one, it only takes around 10 minutes.
+Robby MH Super super easy. It's a just do it thing.
+Robby MH takes about 5 to 10 min
yup simple use four bolts and a clutch and the throttle
as easy as unbolting the old one and put 1 like it back on it
Bravo for the last part for driving it like a madman.
Wow 8 years ago😂 what a throw back.
did a bird drop a shit at @ 14:25 and at 15:17?
Yep...
Why did you notice a bird shitting?
They are just leaves that have fallen from the trees up above
Jonah Robinson from the heavens!!!!!! *music pls*
@@rproductions214 those are some heavy ass leaves then
"ewww.. that is so gross"... dude you are NOT a mechanic LOL
nikotwenty it's because the oil was so bad
This isn't building a kart for $50 if you just buy one to rebuild. My nephew wants to borrow my everlast to weld up a kart. This video is not going to help him.
Drew Dewi what oil lol I didn't see any "oil" it looked like water to me
nikotwenty hahaha why so salty nigga
Oliver Kauper they said in the beginning of the video that people were complaining that they can't find a go kart for under $300 and this video was for them. Clearly you missed that part though
I'm offensive and I find this a Mini Cooper driver.
Sometimes a little oil helps free up a weathered engine, but more importantly oil helps decrease cylinder wall scratching while freeing up frozen pistons.
WHOOOOOOOOOO VIRGINA TECH RULES DUDE!!!!!!
13:32 i got scared
I dropped my hotpocket
Davon Mulder oof
predator 6.5 add $130 and new rear tires $40 and new clutch $30 = $258. far cry from $50
I have to agree myself bruh.
They ment that's what they bought it for
But if he put $258 go kart build as the title, it wouldn't be as appealing or get as many views ;)
Lmao you getting ripped the hell off!!! A new predator is 99 tires are 4.99 and a clutch is 14.99 😂😂 you must have a great job to be over paying for everything you buy
Matt's Lawncare links to these cheap parts?
Im sorry man but isaac sounds exactly like hank hill
I loved the fast 1 reference 10/10
First video id ever seen of you guys and now a life long fan
I think I came up with a good name: Maroon Rattler.
1:18 Is that you Hank Hill?
Fast and furious reference lol. 8:20
Bradley Nelms ikr
Good you guys as usual 😀👍👍👍
John is the bob Ross of go karts
I enjoyed this video. you guys seem like my best friends. subscribed
+Justin Wright Thanks!
CarsandCameras HEY GUYS!!! I HAVE BEEN WATCHING YOUR VIDEOS FOR ABOUT A YEAR NOW AND I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN INTERESTED IN GO KARTS, BUT WHERE I LIVE- IN CALIFORNIA, NO ONE HAS GO KARTS AND NOBODY SELLS THEM FOR A LOW PRICE😕SO I AM WONDERING IF YOU GUYS HAVE A GO KART THAT YOU DONT WANT ANY MORE THAT YOU CAN SEND ME🤔.ALL I WANT IS A GO KART BODY, SO THAT I CAN PUT AN ELECTRIC 48v MOTOR ON TO IT. AND YOU GUYS ARE PROBABLY WONDERING WHY I AM WEIGHTING IN *CAPS*, WELL ITS SO THAT THIS MESSAGE GETS ACKNOWLEDGED BY ONE OF YOU!😆👋🏎
CarsandCameras OH YEAH! I MEANT TO SAY RIGHTING IN CAPS👋
shit, that house is a mansion! hell, I need a good paying job...
RUclips
You mean rich parents
John holding the camera. His parents are filthy rich
Shit look at the cars he has there...i said the same thing before...someone has big bucks! Lol
Why dude sound like hank from king of the hill 🤣🤣
I wanna build a really simple kart with direct drive, fuel control, and a starter. No clutch, no brakes, no gears, no differential. Just a good push start and you're rolling!
That thing looks totally home made.
8:16 fast and furious
I have a 15HP Honda... good idea? or not.... o-o
Matt Productions If you're asking me then you've already made up your mind. Of course its a good idea. When is more power not a good idea?
CarsandCameras Seems legit.
CarsandCameras It worked for a while.. Now the front tires keep jumping off... Any ideas on how to fix this??? maybe swap them for 10 inch tires or something??
Matt Productions So the tires fall off the rims? Under heavy cornering or when?
CarsandCameras Heavy cornering mostly
best part 2:53
Oh so this is what Hank done after king of the hill. Good to know he's still on TV
How to build a cart for $50... yeah💯😂
That thing still makes 3 horsepower? After all the shit its been through, not a single pony has escaped?
RIP PAUL
8:17
The Jewish guy with the afro is kinda annoying
He looks like Rob Schneider
***** he is not jewish
😒😒😒
Love this video 6 years later yea I'm a watch it again
3:00 I lost it 😂😂😂
Name should be menstration
this is not a 50$ build. the kart is 50. the parts are more
+Austyn Sanft - Eugenio "$50"
+Austyn Sanft - Eugenio What they spent on the frame they could have spent on brand new steel to weld. With a garage like that and trashing someone else's weld job, they can have a brand new frame for the same price. And probably salvage better tires than those for free.
Did anyone else get that fast furious reference
Me
Nice fast and the furious reference
Minty fresh sounds good
where do you guys get your karts so cheap
Forged by FAILURE - for real?
I aM fRoM tHe FuTuRe, ThIs CaRt iS gOnNa Be TuRnEd InTo A mOnStEr TrUcK!
that wasnt 50 bucks you used other stuff..
James Thomas yea I bet you it was like 200 or 250
James Thomas what?? I would pay 50 for that shit box no way for more!!
he used a Predator 212, that engine costs 130 dollars....
James Thomas how was it not 50. The engine was messed up and it looked like a shit box I'm pretty sure it was 50
the value is 50 but og pric e is more
Wide load sounds good
U guys are the coolest love all of the builds
only 50$ he look sad
8:17 lol slow it down .25
well yes you culd get a broken go kart for 50$ but the paint engine and all that is more then just 50$ and you guys might have left overs but normaly those who want a cheap go kart dosnt but cool vid anyways
christoffer andreassen you would be surprised at how many free engins ive gotten from junk garden tillers and water pumps.
I agree, there's someone on my road that has a yard full of old cars, trucks, cars, semi's, motorcycles, and basically anything that has an engine. All of the motorists things I have are from it.
it was very nice brother.. I loved it to watch... waiting for next video
Massive fan of the crew, always come back here to see the john mcmassive-hair. #olschool
