I drove exactly like this my first time on a fast electric cart track. Gotta push the limits to see what it can handle- spin out a few times, then ride that razors edge! Looks like a blast bro.
This karts wicked! I've got a couple laying around and have been wanting to build an electric one for a while. What motor, batteries and controller are you using? Would like to see a more in depth build of this
Front brakes, widest rear tires you can get, and some practice and they won't have a chance. You are clearly heavy, front brakes would allow you to take advantage of the power, then transfer the weight to the front by braking hard into the corner ... turning not spinning, and accelerate away. (For the win, of course). Physics has the back passing the front as soon as the rears lock up, wider tires alone (rear) are not likely to prevent this due to weight. Or you could always hire a 60 pound kid to drive, but what fun would that be?
Have you tried torque vectoring? Seems like the kart suffers from alot of understeeer caused from a combination of heavier weight, traction, and torque thru a solid axel.
the electric motor has too much braking horsepower. try not to lift all the way off instantly and use the brakes more. you spin entering the corners because the electric motor locks up your rear wheels.
Well, thank for your input. To my defense it was very dirty parking lot, i was trying different racing line but there was a lot of gravel. I wasn't there to compete really just to try out the gokart how does it handle. I wasn't trying to win anything. I'm sure you're much better driver
Do you have a build log or list of parts you're using in your setup? I saw your previous conversion video but it looks like all of the videos are only of you driving it. I'd love to learn more about it. Cool project!
lol. there are four holes in the controller and four in the motor. He put screws through the holes. C'mon guys. You know what a go kart looks like and an electric motor is smaller than a gas motor. Why are you all asking for a how to video as far as this conversion. Itisnt hard to figure it out, i mean, the motor isnt mounted to the handlebars lol
@@streetK4 I thought you drove fine don’t listen to trolls it was a test drive. I was just curious about the torque difference between gas and electric motors. Great video btw I was cracking up when u went to help that kid and he was flailing his arms lol
I don't know what your tire pressure was. But you were slip sliding in the corners. Try around 12 to 15 psi in the front and about 18 to 20 make sure they are flat with no rounding in the center. I'll bet you will have a lot more grip through the turns.
You have to ask them for permission main thing is pace of gokart and your own ability to handle it. They need to make sure you can do it and that you won't endanger others
Quite possibly the worst kart driver I've ever seen in my life. Jesus Christ....in a real race you'd be lethal and black flagged instantly. I'm surprised they didn't do that after the first 4 spins
