750cc X Kart Gets OFF ROAD TIRES! 

Out of all the builds you guys have done this one is my opinion the most awesome.

Switch to a 10 inch rim. It'll open up your tire options more. Be able to run a 22 inch rear with a 22 or 23 inch front.

No no i want more, more crosskart this is my favorite build i need this in my life

The look on his face when he couldn't remember what a wheel stud was called 🤣🤣

You don’t notice bogging when you have low gears and wheel spin. The intake manifold needs equal length runners.

I've been with you guys from the almost from the beginning. You have come along way. . I still enjoy your video s the same now. And when you guys were looking into old barns for old go carts. I'm happy for you guys. Have a good day

Now that we have taller tires, it could use a re-gear, but above all, it needs a carb tune (or just a switch back to the 4 carb setup). And mufflers (we're working on em). Anyone know where we can get the stock carbs rebuilt professionally?

After the slomo drift in the water I could see the smile right through Ike’s helmet and sunglasses 😂

SOOOooooooo, you guys finally starting to understand my comments on getting actual coil-overs (adjustable dampening/rebound). not gopowersports china overs. a little more travel and ground clearance will do you wonders, especially whilst dampened correctly. very proud that you two finally made a real build

Hey, helpful tip! That bead breaker wedge is supposed to go right up against the bead and rim!

Get rid of the intake, 2 cylinders sound like they are starving.

I think the greatest thing about youtube is being able to watch people's life change in front of your eyes and from where you guys started to were you are now is just amazing

I like how there is a white Ariel Atom in my suggested video, actually looks similar to your kart! :)

This build has brought me to your channel and I’m loving it all. Already gathering materials to start building my own in the spring. Thank you guys and keep it up.

I just love when they say whats up guys i am John i am Isaac and we are car's and Cameras

A little trick I’ve used on smaller tires that are hard to get to seat. Take a ratchet strap and wrap it around the center of the tire and hook the hooks to each other. Then cinch the strap down so it squishes the center part of the tire. It will help force the beads to seat. Doesn’t work on all small tires/rims but it’s saved my butt on those occasional pain in the ass lawn tractor tires.

You guys have come a long way since building rigid minibikes. The cross kart is absolutely off the hook !!!!! Nice job guys. Fanfrikintastic

So tip of the day #1: When mounting tires that have sidewalls that won't touch the rim, try a tow strap in the middle. It tends to make the sidewalls bow out and you don't have to "lose an eyebrow" mounting tires. Back in the day we mounted 10" wide tires on 8" wide rims with a tire band. It compressed the whole tire and kept it from stretching when airing it up.

Finally!! :) It was killin' me, seeing it sitting there in the last video.

Guys after watching this run I would suggest off setting the upper front a arm about 6 degrees toward the rear, there are several videos out here that discuss this. I used this set up and it handles so good.Nice job on your build I always enjoy your videos, Stay safe

For off road racing skinny front tires with decent tire pressure and tall wide rear tires with low air pressure. When you let the air out the side wall tread bites in and gives you more grip. Simple tips but they usually help. Plus running less pressure in the tires will make it feel like you have a bit more suspension.

Guys that cross card has a mean growth and I love it. Good job guys.

you guys freindship is something never take fir granted thats as inportant really mire important than all the awesome shit you guys bring back to life !

That thing is misfiring or nkt running right it sounds like

My all time favorite build!! Finally overtook the Black Widow!! It definitely needs is taller tires all around. My opinion it looks like a body builder whos never made leg day, like EVER. It also could use the body panels you guys talked about, to make it look cleaner and more show ready. After that, its just tiny little finishing touches. Overall though, awesome build guys!!

she's a great basher, goes like hell, sounds awesome, and she's solid. i'd agree with ike, 7/10 for first attempt. if you build another later on, it's going to really hit the nail on the head. good work fellas

This is so awesome. You guys make me want to set up a shop in my garage and do this all day 🥺

Would mufflers and some back pressure help you to get it running smoother? Sounds way lean -- or something.

Don't listen to the haters, you guys stepped out and tried something, awesome! 1st attempt, awesome! Needs some work, yep, what build wouldn't at this stage. Keep at it, it can only get better. Good job guys, looking forward to the next installment!

Reminds me of what I said playing dirt 4 with the Logitech steering wheel. The feed back is crazy from that wheel. And reminds me a little of when I did have a truck I didn't care about and would go beat some fields with friends.

That cross kart is the best thing u guys have owned and made, great job I have watched every video since u started the cross kart and I get so excited every Monday and Wednesday to watch the videos!!!!

I give you 10 out of 10 for a first attempt. Yes, your not exactly noobs, but most first attempts fail. You didn't fail, you only need improvements that can be done to the existing if you wanted. Front shock upgrades could fix that. The steering, well swap it, add a bigger slave cylinder to the brakes, and work on the paddles and guess what? Your first attempt is 100% a success. Most experienced mess up the first of everything, but instead of fixing it, they stop and start again, so they say their first attempt is this when no, their first, second, third and forth were used for scraps until they found what they decided to build on. Great job guys! Glad I watched you through it.

There are great 20 and 22" options for 8" rims that we use on our off road golf carts. The issue may be that GoPowerSports does not have them. Grip it and rip it fellas!!

Should strike up a deal with busco and see if you can get yourself a dedicated proving ground for your projects. Cool video and sweet shots of THE TROOPER! Keep up the good work guys.

May help to lengthen the intake up and forward so the air filters are up behind your head. That short ride looks like it covered the filters in mud.

I like the slightly still shots you were getting when you were doing the old flame in the tire trick

That kart needs an exhaust with a spark arrestor. I saw a Kart catch fire because of a backfire. A twin exhaust setup, in my opinion, would be awesome. Nice build.

Pool noodles, man! Those have been saving my left knee in my racecar for a long time.

That build is gnarly.. Outside of the tweaks with steering and breaks.. I would consider putting a turbo on it.. That would really complete the motor aspect of it..

John, while you were doing your wonderful monologue about offroad racing, all I could think about is how well this white monster suits you

That thing looks menacing man! The white is perfect for it. Its just has a mean look to it and it sounds great. I can see where it could get scary. Good job you guys.

Its come along really nice and I'm rather happy with what its come out as. Very nice work thus far, as an engineer in training, I think you two did a splendid job on it. Looks really exciting to drive as well. But on another note, what about finishing the exhaust system? It'd run easier and make more power if you merge them into a common pipe, maybe a quarter inch bigger than each pipe on its own. Keep in mind that the merged pipe barely needs to be larger than each runner, and it'll need exhaust clamps to hold the merger to the runners so it can be taken off, preferable in 3 sections (that being the left runners, right runners and center merger to the muffler). Oh, and it'll be quieter so your neighbors will notice it less if you start it up in the shop. And at the end of the day, the runners themselves (the pipes currently on there) need to be equal length, so their length from the exhaust port to the end of the pipe needs to be the same as its siblings, after that it needs to be mirrored between each side, a merger from, what, 1.5 inch to 1.5 or 1.75 inch, then those pipes join directly under or just behind the fuel tank into a 1.75 or 2 inch merger which goes to a 1.75 or 2 inch diameter glasspack muffler. You can get one from Thrush in 1.75 inch and 2 inch models at their smallest. And I'd suggest ending the exhaust runners sooner so they can merge. Modularity of the exhaust seems to be the right way to go here. But alas, despite the exhaust being a pet peeve of mine, my rating for this project is a straight 9 out of 10 since I love it anyways and think you two are awesome for making it. Love the custom front suspension tho, using those joints ended up being a good idea :)

Clutch kicking it like it's his brothers...🤣

MAN! I love that! What a great Build! You will get used to it the more you drive it and get use to the faults..brakes and steering,and adapt to it...

Possible idea, build another so you guys can race each other. Use a more modern engine so you can put a rekluse clutch on it that way you can shift it up and down without having to worry about using the clutch, more travel up front and call it a day. A more modern engine could probably be found for $500 from a wrecked street bike or something similar. Just some ideas, love how it turned out! Glad to see that old cb750 engine running quite well considering how the carbs are. There is a company that makes a 2-1 intake and carb setup for that (it’s a bit expensive) but maybe it would help on the low end? Props for how much time and effort went into this project. 👍🏼

It's a great first try. Like Grind Hard Plumbing, I see some suspension modifications coming soon. You have a street suspension set up on that buggy. It's too spongy and too close to the ground. You're doing a lot of bouncing down the drag strip. The trick is to keep the rear tires in contact with the earth and keep the front end from shoveling you into the ground. Even Carroll Shelby had to adjust the steering and suspension on his Cobra's. They were very powerful, but squirrely as hell. Keep on progressing. You guys are going to have a neat vehicle when you get it worked out.

That thing sounds like its running on half the cylinders.

I do the light it up technic on my truck tires ever time I change them . Works awesome but be careful and have an extinguisher handy

This is one badass build. Congratulations you two. And on a side note, don't get too full of yourself John around 12:30 when giving the speech about horsepower. LOL

Dear IKE and John, I think this kart is the most creative kart and the coolest looking one so far. Personally I think it would be cool to see a vtwin harley engine in there or maybe in the near future. PS Love ur channel and keep up the awesome ideas.

Should have got ya some pink pool noodles from the save the Ta Ta's month awareness !!!! For padding... so much Pun, and fun :-)

Am I the only one thinking they should swap the 900cc in this ?🤔 Yes? Ok...

Very cool....videos are getting shorter, but still cool. I really dig the cross cart....too bad I’m 6’9 325 lbs I’ll never be able to enjoy stuff like that.... I’m living through you guys!!!!⚜️🤙🏽

22x12-8 for the rear right on amazon . Put those 18 on the front . Awesome build !!

"Show piece 10 out of 10" lmfao! Thanks for the laugh dude.😂😂😂

Congrats boys on the awesome build! My “ to do list” would be Quick Rack steering. Quad shocks. Proper carb setup. Exhaust system. But this project is defo coming on really well! 👍🏻👏

It sounded like it wasnt running right at all guys sounds like it was getting to much fuel or not enough

I really like the Storm Trooper guys, Great Job. John, off road racing is like any other type of racing, it simply requires lots of practice, stamina and focus. As for the cart, I would switch all 4 shocks and springs to something more suitable to off road use.

Haha those old tires became slicks real quick. When you guys put those on they were brand new!

I am impressed guys. Cool machine. I think either motorcycle style fenders over each wheel or sheetmetal sides on the frame with Dzus type fasteners would keep the dirt off of you and the drivetrain. I think you guys may have made one of the coolest buggies I have ever seen!

Amazing job Ike and Mr Safety sweet kart. Now you gotta make another so you both have one.

the only reson i gave it what i did is bc john picked it apart i think that you did great and you should be happy great job !!!

man just look at you guys I am very proud of the both of you guys i am not going to split hairs but i can say this i have watched the both of you grow in character and gracefully i may state you two have the ability to compromise and come up with a common denominator that doesn't always happen i am very glad things have come to be what they have because i enjoy the videos i think yours are some of the best i have seen and they just keep getting better don't change don't let anything take that glitter that i see out of your eyes stay young keep your wheels in motion and long may you build ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;show the world

Ratchet strap the middle of the tires when they don't wanna seat. Works great

It has the looks of a dune buggy. I love it!

Finally you call it an UTV and Glad you are going to work on the flaws, Also i am going to say it you guys need to man up (Ike less as already has bit of crazy ) or find someone who will give your kart a real go. You built something for a purpose and haven't even tested it properly to see if there are real flaws (like bottoming out / tipping in high speed skids, jumps etc) Its why they call it the first real run a suicide run you thrash it and if comes back fine then you know you did good and can fix little issues, or next thing you know you'll crash and find out it wasn't safe. Just remember i don't do this out of hate cause i enjoy what you do, but like a big bro ill give you credit when due and shit the rest of the time. Keep it up

Washers will do in a pinch but you really want to make a spacer out of thin metal and get that contact area to spread the forces. Washers may bend....... ........the lugs. ;) Made some out of a good aluminium blend for a Nissan with a weird rim/tire setup, worked great for years and rode it like crazy.

Rev it out! It sound like it’s not running right

I would say that thing is a winner. Nice job guys.

think it would look sick with a Wing LOL, Good Job Guys sick build been one of my favorite Series on RU-vid so far!!!

When u spray it u got to let it sit for about 2 mins and then light it it allows the whole tire to fill with the fumes works way better

That thing shreds!

That cart needs the Mazda front suspension to match the rear. It is pretty impressive as it sits, but the matching aggressive tires and spring rates plus tweaking the brakes would bring that cart to a 10/10

By far my favorite build

That’s sick offroad tires work great in that sand

I got to say I love that go kart that thing is badass great job can't wait to see the next one

We need longer videos of y'all roasting it in the storm trooper!! Who agrees?

Love this little ripper

Like others have noted, you absolutely need to put on larger rims so you can put on larger tires. AWESOME build btw!!!

You guys need to keep uploading videos of this series even tho its just small changes or big changes.

I like it with the normal tires on the front and the off-road tires on the rear. Paddle tires would make it an off-road drag BEAST!

Great job guys this thing ripped at busco.

Ive found a bunch of aggressive tires with 8 inch rims on some Chinese atv parts sites I use to fix Chinese quads and dirt bikes. I have a mini set of bear claw mud tires on my son's 110cc Chinese quad. You guys should look into a performance Chinese motor build cheap parts and you can get performance parts like a flat slide performance carb with nitrous hook up, high performance cdi, coils and everything else.

My Shorts welding friends the cart looks GREAT! but i have to admit it sounds sloppy at higher RpMs.. Main thing is always enjoy what you do and have fun doing it. I give it a 6 out of 10 and 9.5 on looks but heck I’m 55 what do i know. Lol

That slow motion in the water was sick

Dang. Y’all build something extremely cool once again. Well done guys

Zip tied like a pro, have fun with it guys. I do think it is not running the best but I know y'all will figure it out and hit it again. Maybe check exhaust with ir temp gauge?

Look into a atv front hub set breaks,rim& tire combo, would have a much better tire selection for the understeer it has, and should probably do a elka style piggyback shock for the front end, but she looks very smooth out there, and fun to rip. Once you fix the front tire's it won't feel so out of control at speed

Great job guys My favorite project so far.

You guys should get some four-wheeler mud tires on that, they would fit perfectly, also that thing is so freaking awesome! It's like a mini trophy truck/pre-runer!

The last few videos have lacked alot of content. I suppose y'all were busy getting ready for mini mayhem (as i type this its the week after). Hoping you guys step up one of my favorite channels in upcoming episode's. Still very well made and edited for sure. Lets see what you got!

Added benefit of huge rear tires, you will be going downhill all the time so fuel mileage and speed should increase proportionally. BTW, I think this is the most awesome build yet!

Cross Cart looks so awesome.. sure it may need as little work but overall it's awesome

Beast mode guys.. beast mode!

The front suspension looks a little collapsed, probably a reason for it. It just seems like a couple of inches taller would give a little more clearance. Oh!!!! Put Air Suspension on it!!!!! It would be even more epic!!! In all seriousness, great work lads. She's a beauty!!

I love that kart. So awesome. Should build another one that is taller for some serious trails.

"We could put 15" Miata wheels on it, but that would rake the hell out of it..." Unless you put some 14" wheels up front with some ribbed sand rail tires...

Hey guys, the zip ties on the roll bar foam is fugly. Go to your local home depot and guy the appropriate sized split pipe insulation. It's got a nice adhesive strip on the cut edge. Makes for a much cleaner installation.

It sounds to me he was shifting up to soon lugging it in a higher gear. However it freaking looks awesome

Looks like a blast
