Homemade Shifter Kart gets Thrashed to Pieces (Less Reliable than a F1 Car??)



Our backyard shifter kart is insane! We full send our home built shifter kart, but not without a TON of reliability issues due to the setup simply making way too much power for the chassis. We have gone far beyond how much power a go kart can handle. Every 2 or 3 laps we have issues, whether it be the chassis breaking, the fender coming off, or bolts shaking loose on the engine. The lack of suspension is uncomfortable around the track, but this thing sure is fast!

  1. All of that stuff broke because you talked about how well the first test went 🤣 but I definitely want to do a similar setup on my kart I’ve loved the content on this thing so far

  2. This is one of the greatest things you've ever done. I see questions about doing stuff like this all the time on forums but few people actually do it. Please keep at it or make a new one from scratch if this frame isn't holding up to the abuse. I went and found the bottom end out of a KLT-160 to use in a similar project because of this.

  3. So where is Charles Time every time this happens you two leave him out it would have been nice to see a proper race with all three or are you two afraid he will wipe the floor with you lol
    maybe next time include him in the race or races he seems to be doing all the hard work and all you two do is break them yes its a great idea and its fast I still like you're videos but be fair and stop hogging all the RIDES JOHN does nothing and rides first as always gets a bit old I know you do the backwards filming and editing again be fair I've watch you from the being and don't like were you're going just be fair that's all I ask and you will be no 1 in my cart channels again as re beard has overtaken you because he's fair and lets his buddies drive his carts so let's watch this space I bet you won't even read my letter so anyway I wish you all a happy new year and may your channel be no1 again. all the best from John from rugby UK.
