Predator 459cc Go-Kart Build! Predators Red Headed Step Child On Steroids 

It’s a battle keeping it away when I’m welding.

It seems slower on the road only because it hits the limiter/top speed almost instantly without the resistance of the terrain. The governor will be out soon so we’ll see what it does.

I can’t see ever paying $1000 for the v-twin even though I think it would be cool. I have been really interesting in finding a 2 stroke though. Went to a dirt drag event not to long ago and the 2 strokes were killing it.

It has a lot of power and has been reliable so far. The only downside side is there is limited aftermarket parts for it so if you plan to modify it any more than intake, exhaust and jet you may want to go with something like a 420. If you aren’t planning on modifying I think it’s a pretty good option. The power difference it makes over the 420 is worth the extra money. I got mine when harbor freight had the 25% off coupon with no restrictions which brought the price down to about the same price as a 420.

It’s a Max Torque Clutch. They are relatively cheap but still good quality. I swapped a Comet bell housing onto it just to change the tooth count.

These are the fronts I have. They are out of stock but they may have another option with a different tire. www.gopowersports.com/5-floater-wheel-assembly-slick/

@@jwsbackyard6413 are the backs spindle mounted or do you have hubs on the back..?

I’m using standard 3 spoke aluminum hubs

I’ve actually got a dragy that could give me all of that data. That’s not a bad idea.

This clutch is a max torque clutch with a comet bell that I swapped on just to get the gearing I wanted. You can find the max torque clutches on gopowersports or eBay and Amazon. It needs to be for a 1 inch shaft.

I have one, was waiting on a backing plate in the mail. Just need to get it on
