@seth_5394 5 лет назад

Super interesting so to see this build using only mechanical fasteners. I have wondered what that might look like. Good job!

@azaur7248 2 года назад

"Mechanical fasteners" its just nuts man

@sarahmost2956 3 месяца назад

this video helped out a lot! I want to make a go kart of my own just like this and I would like to know where you got all of your parts like the axle, tires, steering wheel and mechanism. Also how many feet of square tubing did you use in this project?

@aaronsharp241 4 года назад

Good job guys

@ginalove8679 2 года назад

thanks for the video

@JasonWelchMusic Год назад

Do you have a version of this video without the fast forwards? Im not mechanically minded, so would like to see every step.

@22Tech 6 лет назад

really nice vid

@bobjimmy7304 4 года назад

Hey, nice build. What gauge steel did you use to create the plates that you built the frame with? Thanks

@UhYeahWhateverDude 5 лет назад

So ThIS is what happens when nerds learn to use tools...interesting. Haha, I’m just playing guys, great job!

@Alex-cu6uw 5 лет назад

Holy shit a good video I’ve never seen this before

@peterwatson2273 6 лет назад

Good job guys! It would of been nicer if you made the frame slightly longer. It's a bit short. But still an excellent build! :-)

@lennym1273 6 лет назад

Great kart guys. I know I am late but just in case you do another one or some viewers are watching, I have to point out a few safety concerns 1. the gussets on the corners need 4 bolts (2 on each tube) 2. bolting on square or round tubing is not really a strong hold because if you tighten the bolts too much it will only crush the tubing and can never be really tightened properly (unless you put some spacers inside the tubing so it won't crush) that's why welding is the best way to go...

@fishertech 2 года назад

regarding point 2, is it really a big deal for a small recreational kart that isnt going to see offroading or crazy abuse? I am also making a no weld go kart , still making a frame (I am realizing it's probably better to learn welding and buy a welder for this because making every bolt hole line up is tough). Do i need to worry about catastrophic failure?

@omararaujo5971 5 лет назад

What size metal did you use for the frame

@shehbaznijjar9441 4 года назад

Where did you get the parts from

@fishertech 2 года назад

Dang! I am doing the same thing (using triangular gussets) for my no weld go kart. it was also inspired by colin furze!

@oop1761 2 года назад

How did you do the spindles for the steering without helding? Ive been scratching my head trying to come up with a solution.

@PsionicKevin 2 года назад

Mounted C brackets on outside of each custom 0.25 inch thick plates on front frame. Then spindles to each C bracket. Had to remake once due to some unexpected clearance issue we didn’t see first time, but worked out 2nd time.

how did that saw not trip the breaker? 15 amp saw on 15amp breaker lol

@zieverinkpatrick 6 лет назад

We are trying to make a DIY go-kart too. We found a motor has 6.5 HP but without clutch or a way to keep it from driving off when you want to start the engine. How did you do it? I heard something at 1.55 in the video but I can't understand it. What did you use?

@PsionicKevin 6 лет назад

There are torque converters which basically have centrifugal springs which expand as it rotates faster spinning a belt from low to high ratio, and the driven spring also drives a sprocket which drives the live axle on my kart.

@cameronphipps8004 4 года назад

dope

@musicallymaximized2694 6 лет назад

Thanks so much for sharing! I'd really like to build one this summer. How much did this all cost you just out of curiosity. Sorry if you said it in the video, I might have missed it.

@ProwlXV 6 лет назад

From previous comments around $1,600

@liamryler1798 2 года назад

What did you use for the steering spindles

@PsionicKevin 2 года назад

Don’t have exact part number, but most likely found one on BMI karts website that fit my needs

@arsenal5535 6 лет назад

What was the width and wall thickness of the square tubing you used?

@PsionicKevin 6 лет назад

I believe it was 1.25 in width and 1/8 in thickness.

@kespinal24 6 лет назад

What program did you us use to make the 3D model?

@PsionicKevin 6 лет назад

I used PTC Creo Parametric.

@iammaobaoxian9308 6 лет назад

Hey bro, I'm actually building a go kart similar to yours. How did you attach the steering wheel to the steering axle? Because I've actually encountered a problem with my build. My steering wheel keeps coming loose from the axle everytime I try to turn it. Any tips? Thanks

@PsionicKevin 6 лет назад

Hey glad to hear about your project. I'm not sure exactly how yours is mounted so I can't give you an exact recommendation for how to fix yours. For me, my wheel is mounted to a u shaped custom hub, and then drilled through the two sides of the "U" and the steering column as well. It's held by a bolt and nut with spacers to reduce play and blue loctite to deal with vibrations loosening the nut.

@iammaobaoxian9308 6 лет назад

Alright mate, thanks for the help. That's an effective method, I will definitely try that out. Thanks !

@alvarobj8898 7 лет назад

Nice video. Where did you take the parts from (stering, wheels, rear axle...) ??

@PsionicKevin 7 лет назад

Specific go kart parts came from dedicated go kart sites like bmi karts or gopowersports. The rest was from a local hardware store.

@alvarobj8898 7 лет назад

Kevin Chou Thanks a lot!!!

Hey mate love the vid could you do a vid with no welding 1200 pound/dollar build thanks if so and great vid will watch time and time again for projects

@icecreamlover7828 6 лет назад

Yay I heard the song "Faded" by Alan Walker or was it "Spectre" I can't remember but I thinks its faded,(edit 1)oh and nice build (edit 2) I also heard Monody by TheFatRat which is one of my favorite songs and artist

Mr. Chou!

@bbaaspencer1 3 года назад

You needed a kill switch on the steering wheel

@PsionicKevin 3 года назад

Prob would've been smart to do, but the budget was stretched on materials and performance since I was in hs at the time. Kart was built to withstand a crash with minimal repairs, and plan was to just trust my driving skills and bail safely if needed.

@kespinal24 6 лет назад

We’re did you buy all the parts at?

@ZacharyC 5 лет назад

SmartIce I know they didn't state it but I may be wrong, but I'm pretty sure it's www.gopowersports.com/ GoPowerSports.com

@joelbuick6515 6 лет назад

Hey I noticed that u where using a masonry (concrete) blade on ur angle grinder. A fiber metal cutting blade would have made ur build a heck of a lot easier. :)

@PsionicKevin 6 лет назад

Thanks for the info! I must've misread on my research for blades.

@ryuj1n.sr208 6 лет назад

if you go to home depot or lowes, they should usually have sections in the grinder aisle for different types of discs. you can choose for what you need

@seth_5394 5 лет назад

Good call Joel. That cutting had to suck!

@mattwillz10 6 лет назад

Can I have a link to where u got the tires. I'd like to use them on my go kart build

@PsionicKevin 6 лет назад

They're from the website on gopowersports.

@sethgcullen 6 лет назад

im just about to start work on building a go kart. is there any tips you could give me?

@PsionicKevin 6 лет назад

Do your research on any stuff you've never heard about or aren't sure about, document it so you have a reference, CAD your design, create a spreadsheet for cost analysis, and make sure to prepare for potential obstacles with backup plans because building something usually never goes according to the first plan.

@supradp4111 6 лет назад

Lo hicieron muy bien pero el único fallo que vi es que el volante esta prácticamente en la cara del piloto

@lhd862 2 года назад

You need a smaller sprocket

@virtualgod3324 4 года назад

Why did you use that thing (whatever its called, im nearly complete noob on this topic) instead of a centrifugal clutch?

@PsionicKevin 4 года назад

At the time, a torque converter was cheaper and effective method as a "multigear" transmission while only running as a single speed (hence the single sprocket). Otherwise, there would be the need for a clutch pedal & multiple gear-sets which would cost more money. Hope this explains your question.

@piercecuddy5891 6 лет назад

whet kind of metal did you use?

@PsionicKevin 6 лет назад

Hot rolled A513 (alloy 1020-1026) Steel. It had the extreme tensile strength I wanted for the cheapest available price.

Its easier on the engine during the brake in period

@colby.b8438 5 лет назад

Can you list all the parts you used

@ZacharyC 5 лет назад

THE BOSS 580 not sure if this will help but you can probably find a kit on www.gopowersports.com/ GoPowerSports.com

@driveitbreakitfixit7496 5 лет назад

Buy the time you drill all the holes and buy bolts for them you can just buy a cheap welder

@ThatLSTahoe 3 года назад

You need a welder

@johnvickers5033 6 лет назад

I have to give them an A for effort what no welding no drop front axle O well

@nickkaarslev290 6 лет назад

Probally way to late to reply to this. but its totally normal that the engine doesnt just run first time you turn it on. also sounds like you're grinding a shit ton of teeth on something everytime you throttle.

@PsionicKevin 6 лет назад

Nick Kaarslev I think that my belt slip and chain tension was a little iffy pre-painted (as seen in the video), but when I remounted the power train, everything was calibrated properly so it runs better than it seems in the video of the build process.

@nickkaarslev290 6 лет назад

Ah okay great. Never seen such fast response tho. i like the build and i thinking of making something my self. i got an old scooter engine and i would make a reversed trike :)

@PsionicKevin 6 лет назад

Thanks man. Keep me posted on that project. I'll look forward to it!

@rogercloutier1419 6 лет назад

I really hope you take the time to read this comment. I just wanted to give a little tip that could possibly save you from future harm. Never use a grinder (or anything else that causes sparks) in the same area as your gas can. Store your gas can in another shed or even put it outside around the corner while you are grinding.

@rogercloutier1419 6 лет назад

That also goes for paint thinners or anything else that is highly flammable.

@crazy_joe2302 6 лет назад

i was wondering how much did it cost?

@PsionicKevin 6 лет назад

around 1600

@crazy_joe2302 6 лет назад

in us?

@PsionicKevin 6 лет назад

USD yes

@crazy_joe2302 6 лет назад

why would you spend that much on building a go cart?

@PsionicKevin 6 лет назад

Sometimes, you do things for the experience. I've always wanted to create a moving vehicle from scratch, so I took the opportunity when I found out I had the budget to do so. Everyone has to start somewhere.

@wsfaso 3 года назад

my guess this video is mostly guess work, as to length, material used, etc. No explanation of what you were doing with the engine. Where is a step by step pdf?

@ashokphilip8768 6 лет назад

I can pay 3 lakh

@Melo7849 6 лет назад

The scratch in the title refers to the amount of money spent. I'd say this is from a kit, not scratch. From scratch would be a free motor and free metal. Something from nothing? How much did this cart cost when it's all said and done? You probable could buy a new cart that's faster and better for the same price. Good work
