Fabricating Air Scoops, Firewall, Dash, Fan | Cross Kart Build
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 июл 2024
- We're adding lights, a cooling fan, a firewall, switches, and air ducts to the 750cc cross kart! Our CB750 charging system may not be able to keep up with all electrical accessories running at the same time, but it should be fine. Our cooling fan is retrofitted from an old Honda Civic. The toggle switches complete the dashbaord area, and give it an AWESOME look. The air scoops are made to direct air past the firewall and onto the engine to help keep the engine cool at speed.

My vote says body panels, twin turbo and a giant wing. Who's with me?
CarsandCameras yaaassss
HELL YA ✌😝🤙
Yes yes and no.
CarsandCameras you mean giant "wang" not wing. Y'all need a giant "wang" on the back.
YESSSSSS!!!! for all 3 and by the way you guys are the best!!!
Also put the quad carbs back on it. I'm sure you are leaning out the outer 2 cylinders fuel doesn't like sharp turns
It's amazing how much John's welding has improved!!
Mount actuator higher on shift lever. More leverage would mean easier time for that thing to shift
You are not wrong but I don't think the actuator has enough throw to make that work.
Craig Kirkland go higher you get more leverage but limited by stroke length
@@MegaKencam he could build a cantilever system that would have like 6 inchs of throw off that tiny couple inchs of movement from the actuator and make a ratio so 1inch of movement on the actuator translates to 3inchs of movement on the shifter or whatever ratio you guys wanna make
Actuator didn't have enough throw to pull it off.
@@CarsandCameras You could use a cantilever set up, kinda like some off-road trucks use to increase the suspension travel.
Hey there are 3-4 different companies that produce electric shifters for bikes flatshifter looks ok
Wrap your exhaust pipes it'll get some heat away from you too
Build a shroud around the fan to protect it from mud and water.
I guess I'm rare, because not many people seem to see the video production in front of them, cause they all care to much about what you guys are doing "wrong" and how they can improve it and not about what you guys are doing right. Keep it up guys, I love yur vids😊
Thanks
You guys have come so far from when I started watching you guys it's awsome watching you guys grow in your fabrication skills
This is killer, can't wait to see it all painted!
@carsandcameras you need panels on the inside of those scoops, would make them infinitely more effective
2 actuators 1 pushing 1 pulling? thats an awesome idea
I thought the same thing, they only need a little more force and 2 would definetelly do it
The X kart is morphing into a beautiful thing ,good job lads 👌👍
Learn from the desert truck guys and mount the fan over the engine on top.
Shifter idea is the awesomest thing I've ever seen
Man I just love how you guys are living out your man child dreams!
I like the music, its different. Especially for a channel that doesnt use it as much . Music to me keeps the audience in tune
Great video!!! Honestly your best so far. The slow mo and the sound track was perfect. And sweet build to. I’ve watched every episode.
$20 door poppers on ebay, 60lbs. X2=$40. Great idea though
Beat me to it lol, one can be used for upshifts and the other for downshifting
Thats exactly what i was going to say. Way cheaper then a air shifter
I’ve always wonder if door poppers would work
take two and oppose them each wired opposite polarity
The wing is a good idea. It will slow a roll and absorb some of the impact not to mention it will look cool.

Great idea with the fan Isaac - I was thinking the same thing!
There is nothing beter than watching CarsandCameras in the morning
While eating BreakFast NOTHING BEATS IT
love the headlights
Thanks for looking into the solenoid suggestion for the shifter I made on facebook! I think it's still doable though - just have to find the right solenoid or reduce the spring tension on the lever arm.
Hey guys awesome Job. It's been a grest project to follow. Three things you might consider is a higher voltage battery for your electric shifter like a 48v or higher volt Drill battery will make the shifter throw more powerful. Also I finished a sSandrail project recently and found the fan mounted at a 45deg angle to the motor with the fan running in reverse will stop you from blowing dirt onto your engine and creates a surprisingly cold circulation of air around the engine. One last thing you want to check out that I came across the other day was a T-Bar with hard wire push/pull from a lawnmower. This is now mounted on the side to my twin boys off-road buggy (stationary engine 220cc) and connected up to the governor. So now forwards on the T-Bar and the governor is removed and backwards and the governor is back on again. Handy trick I stubbed across so now the power can be doubled when needed. (As if that's not always...lol) Once again Awesome show guys only thing is the videos need to be longer or ya gonna have to start making a Friday video aswell. Lol. 😜👍
Cheers from Australia.
You guys are very creative and work well together. I like what yall are building! #carsandcameras 🔥🔥🔥🔥✌🏾
Thanks!!
you can make the scoops more functional by extending the fire wall to wrap around the driver to the vertical bar and make the upper seat mount attach to the fire wall. This ditches that flat bar in the way and fully makes the inside of the scoop which could let you floor pan under the fan making it safe from damage.
I like the touch of background music
Just dropping by to say stay safe with Dorian. Down in Jacksonville, FL. Still calm down here but storm track has it heading y'all's way by Thursday. Be safe guys. It'll be fine.
Look into using a panhead/early shovel head clutch “mousetrap” on your shifter. Essentially it used a heavy spring in an over toggle config to allow you to have a short AND soft hand clutch. Instead of using it on a clutch like HD did, you would be using it to make the electric solenoid work on your shifter.
yooooo. you guys changed the game with that door lock actuator
Change the throw of the E shifter by adding a pivoting lever to multiply the throw distance . If you have 1 inch of movement at the top with 1 inch to the pivot and 2 inches to the other end after the pivot then you double the throw and it will work.
Cookin' on gas now boys, those bike clocks look killer & I can't wait to see it painted :-)
i love the music that you two used for this video
Isaac, your "up top" fan solution is the traditional mounting point for cross karts fans
It may help keep heat down by wrapping the headers as well, also adds a cool look.
Im no electrician but i think you can wire in a another battery to give that electric door lock more power at 24v then use a inline diode to startijg cutting the power back to like 14-16v that should give that extra power it needed without going full 24v and burning it up
Those solenoids work like a charm even at 24v they wont burn up especially for such short bursts
You can also use step Up converters or Volltage boost ciruits, that saves you the battery, These worked for me
@@err98darksynth56 lol I believe in one thing 😂😂 anything more complicated than a switch will fail on you every single chance it gets and besides running 24v will put less stress on the electrical system
@@ShadowsOfGames slap a bigger battery(or a second one) and second solenoid you cant argue bigger is better lol
it will burn up and it has plastic gears, There is a actuator made for popping door latches on cars/trucks for people that shave the doors. You can get them in a 25-75lb pull
If you move it up higher on the shift lever it will give you more leverage and might give that actuator the mechanical advantage it needs to work unless it doesn't have enough throw
Leave out the music! You guys do a good job talking and don't need the music.
Do the cable shifters but wrap both cables around a spool in opposite directions thats mounted to a strong electric motor (like a wiper motor) then just hook to two seperate buttons on reversed polarity so it can pull from both directions, aka up shift and down shift. Still button controlled and it can all be mounted between the seat and the fan. Strong, clean, and easy to mess with.
Should have moved the scoops back one panel to move more air to the engine. Dudes,need a bigger battery to carry all the stuff u added.
I definitely agree about the scoops and commented the same thing, but that battery is perfectly fine. You have to remember, the stator in that engine is powerful to run pretty much all of those electronics when it was on the bike. All they really added was a fan, and those LED headlights have less draw than the headlight on the bike. The battery is also already bigger than what would've been on the bike. They should be completely fine with that setup. Or we can just think "It'll Be Fine" Haha
The lights look really good!
this build is so cool
You can modify the shifter to make it work and adjust the shifting Springs that holds the shifting drum in place. I had the dore-lock sylinoid shifter idea in 2003 while working on my 1973-74 Yamaha Tx750 powerd Odyssey.
Hey guys, use Chevy starter solenoids, one for upshifts,one for down shifts and make sure on your push buttons that I incorporate a ground to 2 of ur coils to kill half ignition for easy shifts...they are what we use on drag bikes
You guy are awesome, Having the same problem with my local garda!! Keep doing your thing guys love from Ireland..
Baby blue and yellow looks gooooood
I think you're on the right track with this build is the best cart yet. By the way I solved background music issue with me, I just fast-forward through it.
I’ve been saving up enough money to get a go cart and I got inspired by you guys I’m going to be doing mods to it too
Looking like RC from toy story
Door poppers from a shaved door kit 40# should be strong enough to make an electric shift
Hope you guys figure out that shifter , been here since day one great vid
Good idea Ike at the end there, good job guys it has came a long way I have watched every video since u started this project, about the whole summer!
Hay ya best open up that hole bigger for the fan needs more air to cool the motor down fyi 😎👍
Look for a more potent solenoid maybe two. One for up shift and one for down. You got a good idea going
Get the soilinod for shaved door handle kits. Comes with two of them and u use a cable set to whatever length you want and they are strong! Just use a return spring one on either side and it will shift that thing like crazy!!
Music was a nice touch and the kart is looking like a beast!
Most favorite build ive seen you guys make yet! We need more hardcore sketchy sideways machines like this on the channel, have you ever considered using a snowmobile rotax engine for a build? Cheap, light, and POWERFUL!
I'm not saying it will last or is recommended, but I've had my jeep cherokee in water over the hood 3 times, and the electric fan still works.
Move the electronic shifter higher up on the toe shift for more leverage.
Awsome build!!!! You are the BEST!!!!! Love it!!!
those doorlocks work, have it too, with a 400CC Yamaha engine,just install 2, 1 on each end of the lever, 1 pulls, 1 pushes the same time, did a test too with 2 on 1 side, worked also, with a push/pull rod,
Body Panels, Indycar Inspired Front and Rear Wings
Hi guys, great work so far, I would get with Rather B Welding, his T handle , right hand side, is awesome, and would be perfect for John, who seems to be having difficulty using a left sided shifter with right hand. The air ducts, I would have made them from fiberglass to keep the weight down,+ they need a back side to be really effective.
You guys need door poppers that you would use on a car with shaved outer handles. I've done it!. Good content guys. Best build by far!!!!
White silver or black, theme star wars I just get that vibe.... that would be cool and different go for it! Fan approved idea! Ps or a Star Fighter theme (silver and orange) still fan approved.
8:05 they are called tin snips, not really made for cutting thick stuff 😂
Im suprised they are using 3mm plate for somthing as simple as air scoops, 1mm plate would do the same and be 3x lighter and easier to manipulate into shape
zack smith, technically those are aviation shears for aluminium as the aviation name suggests they are for light aluminium work (you can cut slight bends/curves with them also) tin snips are just straight like scissors hard to do any sort of bends/curves with, and often but not always have handles like scissors, on the whole your right and we know what your getting at and its slang a lot of ppl use tho technically wrong :)
@@gimble8638 they make right and left tin snips as well as the straight ones
no zack they make left right and straight aviation shears bud, you getting it yet bud? :) and even straight ones can be manipulated to cut soft curves, blades thicker on a tin snip which makes that nigh on impossible to do that, the left and right aviation snips can cut tighter curve than straight ones, ive explained the difference above already bud :)
replied about 3 times there lol, my reply wasnt showing this end at first lol and il repeat the make straight left and and right aviation shears!!! lol
Hey guys have enjoyed all your videos.If your still having problems with the carbs check your diaphragms that move the slides up and pull up the needle in the jets and riching the mixture up. the carbs do have butterflys but they have verable venturas that is why they need a little vac. if they have pin holes or leaks they will not work properly
This is epic!!
I really love the things that you do. I especially love the 750 cross cart. It reminds me of the 1000RR sand rail I built almost 10 years ago. Thank you
Old trucks used to have a air over electric system to change the speed of a two speed axel. There should be something similar that you guys could match to your Shifter on your motor.
Issac, I like your idea with the electric sifter. One by itself won't be strong enough to move the shiftier, but maybe two of those door lock solenoids would to the trick. put one on either side of the sifter and make one push while the other pulls. There are a lot of possibilities with that... Cool idea dude.
you can still do celectric shift. get a havier duty motor and use a forward reverse momentary toggle switch and a heavy actuator
Those lights 😍
Electric shift. Me likey
Edit... Try a brass weight in place of the foot knob. The momentum plus the weight will make it shift. I think. Tape a fishing sinker for testing
With simple fab with lil bit of steal. You have everything there to do it
I thing looks so cool it looks like something out of Mad Max
@ Carsandcameras before you give up on your electric shift think of it in this manner " Archimedes once said give me a lever big enough and i will move the world." Maybe a little linkage and leverage can get you what you want, if you have the room.
Create a lever or bell crank with a longer side for your shifter to increase the torque output of the electric motor. Two ways to increase the torque: increase the force , or increase distance. Double the force or double the distance.
Moses' sandals that thing is gonna look sharp!
Can we get these awesome guys a plasma cutter, already. That's a a lot of work for those improvised cut outs.
love watching your videos, you guys fab up some crazy stuff
An Arduino controlled shift system with a clutch solenoid would allow you a semiautomatic shifting kart. Foot on clutch for take off and stopping only. A paintball air tank would work fine and provide many many shifts. Additionally, if you went with a system like used for air suspension systems you could run an electric air pump so you never run out of air.
I've used unlock solenoids in the past to do things. Have you tried doubling them up? I used that to shut off a diesel lincoln welder.
You can even use a push pull method with two of them if space is an issue..
I remember getting into an argument with another viewer that was upset that you guys didn’t give a heads up before you welded. He thought that he could get flash burn from the video 😂😂😂
Just double up on the power lock actuators. Cheap and easy. Make a bracket on the opposite side of the shifter and put one there too. Should double the potential.
Coming along nice
There it is !
Power shift control for honda four Wheeler. Serveral versions out there and one could probably be made to work. Primary coil on those acuators(door lock) are not strong enough for what you want to do. You may also be pushing the charging system running that plus the fan and lights.
Sick man!!
Hi guys so a little tip from me to you them electric tin shears you use if you unrole about 1" and flatten it down a little you should be able to cut it when two of your marked line join up i would watch out for you thumbs tho 👍
Also you should've added some leverage on the electric shifter so it had more throw but was also easier for the weak motor to make the shifts. It's a great idea and could definitely work with some fabbing.
Put a bell crank on the electric actuator to get more throw on the shifter!
I would suggest a fan controller. That’s a huge load on the charging system to flip the switch to “on” position. Plus it’s running the fan at max speed which isn’t necessary.
Definitely need to figure out how to get those scoops to shoot air to the engine. As for a better location for the fan I think a contraption that looks like an old hemi ram air air cleaner would be a decent idea. The air inlet is on top facing rear, the fan sucks up that and and shoots it downward where the carb would have been is now a pipe aimed at the front of the engine.
Eco boost 2.0 because that cart weights so much. Like the mods and the vents could work well. I always thought off to the side and or top for the fan. It can grab the most air and be safe from ground related things
Pretty dang cool keep up the great work
You guys have the right Idea for the shifters but it needs to be mounted up higher do that it has more leverage to shift I've seen this work before you just need to move it to the end of the shifter
Awesome video guys👍🤘
