You need a differential if you want to keep the tracks on. Trying to corner with that great a difference in 'wheel speed' is sure to make problems. When driving M113s and M114 A1E1s, we used separate "Johnson Bars" to control the speed of each track. You might also consider using a large flange both inside and outside of the wheel assemblies.
temu has a better track that has 2 more rollers on the bottom that helps support the actual track. yours will likely split if you drive it on the pavement . cool build guys. Sick lathe dont hate on it. thank your father for me!
Bummer I couldn’t find that one, I do question how long these will last. Definitely won’t be using them on anything but snow. The lathe is just old and rarely used. The clutch slips and the y axis was really struggling. Got it done though!
you need to put counter acting springs on the skis so they can spring down and up for bumps and moguls. But so they return to level. Maybe using the holes in the rotors.
Thats a good speed 70! My 670cc go kart geared right did 70 and I'm sure thats a 125cc or something, so she flies! Like he said borderline scary im sure haha Love to see go kart content in December haha Glad I stummbled upon ya guys!
Just found your channel today and I love the fact that you guys build some of the same kinds of stuff that my son and I build. Kudus to you and I subscribed. Thanks for the cool content.
Before I finish watching it, I had stopped it at around 11 minutes. The circumference of the tracks is definitely bigger, so therefore it would have more top end less low end.
Why use a lathe to change the axle? Take the grinder and cut lengthwise on the fitted piece. Then itself will adjust to fill the void between axles when you put in the slightly bigger splined axle.
@@RadFactoryGav My Grandad always told me not to frown on simple solutions, when the results are equal. Of course, a lathe gives superb precision, no doubt about that. A youtuber made a complicated moving arm on a waving Santa a few years back, and I asked why so complicated? (phneumatic). He challenged me to a better solution, and in 15min i made a similar arm of two small planks, a wire and an old powerdrill. He didn´t answer. Strange..
That thing is great! BOTH, honestly... The bike just needs the tuning worked out or something. For the kart, though... I can't help but think you need to add side plates to the tracks. One that stop about halfway down the bottom wheels, so that they can't touch the ground on hard packed snow, but which encompass all the way up to the top wheel. (same triangle, but with less "dangle" on the bottom heh) Sure, having the track rub will potentially wear it down, BUT it's only going to rub when it's starting to come off... The rest of the time it will have like a half inch of gap (or less?). *VERSION 2:* _spiked wheels_ in the back, with ice skates up front ⛸️ (but just the blades lol) That's right... an *_ICE KART!_* 😏
Oh, HAH... I paused a few seconds from the end where you said you tightened them up and the tracks have stayed on. So maybe the plates aren't needed. Though it MIGHT still prevent it from throwing the track too far. If it happens in a low-light scenario, being unable to find the thrown track would sure suck!
we have since cut a hole in the seat and can get a socket and drill on the flywheel and start it in neutral. at least in the shop... testing in snow soon!
You need to either buy or fabricate a racing kart starter. Pretty sure it's just an automotive starter motor, 12v car battery, and a geared shaft to engage with the starter bundled into a 1" impact body form.
The 650 with tracks looked really awesome! a shame the engine decided to act up, was looking forward to seeing it at full power! The Kart is obviously awesome, impressive fabrication quickly to get it working as well as it did!
Yo! Do a Channel shout if yall get some more of those Beanies in your Store! I'll pick one up 100%! And, yeah, since its on right now, Therapy or something is super important for most people!

Drilling all the way through the axle weakened it considerably, might have considered dimpling the inner axle to lock it in but maybe you considered tht idk
Lean out on full speed corners in a go-kart. Seems counter intuitive, but there is no differential. With both rear tires covering different distances, they are fighting each other as to what speed they are supposed to be going. Sometimes the axle loses that fight. With the inside tire lifted, you attain the highest corner speed possible and it's the kindest on your axle. I promise you won't flip.
Just to let you know. When you point the camera at your face while you're describing an item and a problem with the item it's very annoying, I want to look at the item you're talking about not your face. Nothing personal, but it is annoying. Now that I think about it that would be an editing decision. Okay editor rethink that decision. Okay, back to the show.

so i really hoped you had looked at grind hard guys, so you know what will be a problem.. but no. skies need to move tracks needs tension, engine needs to be adjusted...
i think the problem is that you are overspeeding the tracks...centrifugal force is pulling out and causing the track to come off...the tracks are trying to become round...maybe put a jackshaft reduction assembly in to cut the speed in half or a third...make it more tractorish
Check the spark plug. Cold plus altitude i would guess its running a bit rich. Try lowering the needle one clip and like a 4 size smaller main jet and lean the airscrew like a quarter and see what happends. If it gets worse. Go the other way.

Awesome build. Figuring it out so quickly was next level
Thanks! That was a fun one.
As a fellow Coloradoan... I fully support this idea. Really fun build, nice fab work! Cheers
Gotta have something fun for these random CO snow days! lol
So sick guys!! Also, glad you're working with sponsors. The projects are just going to get even more insane!
Exactly! Very grateful for their support! We have big plans for the next few months!
Thanks! We are stoked to be able to partner with some folks!
The reason I love this channel, two builds in one video!
Thank you so much 🤘🤘
This is dope, I tired doing something similar with my go kart a couple years ago and it didn’t go quite as well 😂
Gotta try again!! It’s so fun
you need to put counter acting springs on the skis so they can spring down and up for bumps and moguls. But so they return to level. Maybe using the holes in the rotors.
They don’t have springs but they do actuate a bit
Once again these guys are making me jealous of the fun they are having… This channel is killing it
Gotta take you out with us soon man!
BRUH FINALY BACK TO THE RAD BUILDS NEED MORE CONTENT LIKE THIS
Much agreed this was a fun build for sure!
What the hell is a BRUH? To damn lazy to check the grammer??? Very funny and a sign of things to come!

That looks like so much freakin' fun!! The build to the run, AWESOME!!!
about starting... a piece of wood underneath and a adapter for a cordless drill should work . something you press on against one of the wheels.

Crazy how we get 2 min of snow kart and 25 minutes of you guys smilling at the camera
yes we're a build channel :) Our newest video has more go karting
25:00 was incredibly satisfying.
I can't believe you didn't hook up the clutch lever to the shifter!!!
It would be in the way. You only use it from N to 1
Thats somthing im definitely buying that gogocarts rips
For sure!!!
officially iam a big fan of this channel keep it coming bro's 🤙🏾...
P.S should have race that green snowmobile 😎🇧🇿...
a air filter sock would also help alot in the snow
Seems like you need a set of jets as well. That altitude got it running lean
Bolts through the caliper to limit movement. You youngens are learning!
Play safe guys so we can keep seeing these awesome builds.
Always 😎
Bad ass snow-cart!
Thank you!!❤
Awesome, looks like a blast!
Definitely let the skis flop, snowmobile skis flop!
@MattSpears should race you on his Ducati!!
He would win but possibly coming soon 😉
That would be so dope
Subscribed because "having a snow ninja is pretty important to"
props to the fpv pilot
Dudes, dump the tracks and stud your tires! Ice studs!
Seems like a mini dragster remote starter would work, or inspire a build for the go cart.
Definitely needed a started, we came up with a ghetto solution yesterday for it 😂
lol…it’s crazed and I’m here for it! Keep up the good work guys!
You get it! 😁
Yall should see if u can take that thing to the Georgetown ice racing event.
Definitely gonna try!
The Cboys took an R6 and turned it into a snow bike. You just need a little more power. 😎
Necessity is the mother of invention. Like when your buddies all have expensive snow machines and won’t let you live it down that you don’t have one.
I think these days being poor is also a good motivator to figure it out 😂😅
Awsome video guys!!
Thank you🎉🎉

Now, a *_Sninja!_* ⛄🥷🏼
Makes me wish we didn't live almost 5 states away. 😞
Agreed! We should try and link up sometime!!
Killer idea, something new
Can you provide a link for the tracks?
Thanks
After more testing the tracks fall off the frame constantly so I can’t recommend them. But if you google go kart snow tracks they will come up
The 650 with tracks looked really awesome! a shame the engine decided to act up, was looking forward to seeing it at full power! The Kart is obviously awesome, impressive fabrication quickly to get it working as well as it did!
We think it was just a dirty fuel filter. Testing today stay tuned!
Next you should make somthing thats a truck to a suv or keep the same idea of a suv to truck
Like a urus truck
Tha… holy that would be insane
@@NewFacts_official😂😂 hell ya!
haha if we could afford it we would!
"I can assure you that's not supposed to happen, but we're gonna find a way!"
😂😂 pretty standard for us
if you changed the sprocket sizes to a smaller on on the front it should help it move them tracks
The guy in the pink hat sounds like the character Glum, in the Gulliver's Travel's cartoon. He always said, "it'll never work!"
Siiick!!!
12:38 lololol wtf, the skininja build just as a bonus build in the middle of the video?? Rad AF.
You should modify two rails you can put on each track to keep it from sliding back-and-forth so it doesn’t fall out the track with plastic sliders
Good idea, might have to try that!
A lathe that function, you already own, is not junk.
true. it was just slipping a lot so took way longer than it should have
Put a turbo on it boys! 😊
Love the content! But i swear Ive seen Gavin on another big youtube channel! Maybe its just the face and voice.
We have been featured on other channels a few times maybe that is it!? lol maybe I just have one of those faces 😂😂
I was hoping to see the ninja three wheeler with two tracks on it
We did it last winter! scroll back to some of our earlier videos, it actually worked awesome!
It was an absolute ripper!!

True. But then we wouldn’t be able to hit 70 😬

There's not enough back pressure on your engine.
How do we fix that? it starts first kick with the tires. I figured the high altitude in the mountains might be messing with it
We definitely need to learn more about these motors for sure
Check the spark plug. Cold plus altitude i would guess its running a bit rich. Try lowering the needle one clip and like a 4 size smaller main jet and lean the airscrew like a quarter and see what happends. If it gets worse. Go the other way.
Or maby just 2 sizes smaller main should do the trick.
