We Bought The Worst Go Kart Ever! Then Made it Better? 

First video here if you want to see the trampoline springs in action 😂 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-UJE-evS_NgM.html

Those tires look great! It would look even better if they were put on in the right direction 😂

The tires on backwards had me laughing the whole time 🤣 great video loved it! can't wait for more to come and get to see how you guys grow in building crazy projects...

Can we all just agree that this car thing is called the "Swindler"

It wasn't a good gokart for an adult to race around in but it was pretty cool being made of scrap parts.

Wouldn’t be a grind hard build without having to redo everything 😂

As soon as I saw the wheel diameter I had a feeling that the gearing would be off somewhat but I knew you'd soon work it out!

Perfectly clear UFO footage right at 20:27. Even a drone could see it.

The best part of starting with the worst is no matter what it gets better, at least worst came in a cool shell.

Good job! Although the milling with drill bits was killing me 😬

so you’re telling me there wasn’t a single “premium” said during all these time lapses?! 😂 these two are dangerous when left alone

Great job!! Been looking forward to seeing the rat rod go cart reappear! Just slap a torque converter on it and you’re done! Then you have a CVT to provide ALL the gear ratios!

That's a hood ornament that would make Rolls Royce jealous

"We didn't blow anything up, and we caught some spiders on fire..." Seems like solid logic to me! 🤣

That things got Mo'tential son! Needs that GHPC touch

Did it hurt anyone else that he put the clutch on backwards, nvm he noticed

Hello from Russia. As you shoot a great video, I watch every video of yours with pleasure. thanks to you, I am improving my skills in making my own projects. thank you very much. with love from russia привет из россии. какжытвы класно снимаете видео, я смотрю с удовольствием каждое ваше видео. благодоря вам я повышаю свое мастерство в изготовлении собственных проектов. спасибо вам большое. с любовью из росии

this should be a new series and you should call it "while the parents are away". XD

The hood ornament should have been the 'Its something" meme

really nice to see you guys playing with all the tools in the workshop, its really cool that you also film the learning curve, Ethan is really gifted, but you guys rock also!

Tires are on backwards hehe. Awesome job tho! Be safe guys :)

Idk about everyone else but the 5th “premium” was most definitely the most premium premium

I really wanted to see Ethan's reaction to this kart, are we going to get an update?

Been waiting a bit for this video, watched the livestream on tiktok a while back😂

I been waiting for this build truely amazing to see you guys build something! Now time to fabricate something more clean and durable 😃

I love these videos so much where it's just the will and the legend of a camera guy doing dumb stuff😂

they put the tires on backwards 😭

The look of this is awesome great job guys. Now to convince Ethan an Edwin in building V2.0 with long travel suspension an more powa

I like how they haven't done many solo vids (without ethan) the vibe is still very grindhard, much premium

You need a Comet clutch like in a snowmobile!!

Aren't the rear wheels on backwards? Those v-shaped treads should be cutting into the dirt so it gets pushed out to either side as it turns.

“This clutch we found in the woods”

He realy likes the HUD SCOOP

No triangulation of the new rear frame section is a...bold choice.

Love the bonnet emblem 😂

I was just waiting for this build!

Love seeing Will run his own project!

you guys are making great progress keep up the great work not knowing what you are doing on all of these projects only makes you learning something new I think y'all have done very well

For starters your rear tyres are backwards, you need to swap them left to right.

it was a premium first iteration, and i'm sure you guys will have it minty fresh in no time!

For really not knowing what you’re doing it came out pretty good! But I would probably leave the building and fabrication to Ethan🤩🤣

Torque converter would probably do what y'all want out of it, get the juggernaut 30 series , I bet you won't be disappointed

Woo-hoo! Sunday!

There's a brass bushing inside those clutches that you got to remove while you weld on it or you can damage the clutch seriously

Why didn't you just clip the centrifugal clutch over sprocket on the outside?🤯

*Engineers and fabricators* ; _What is this guy doing_ *Me* ; _This is better than what I could do with my skills and tools. 🤣_

Yesss! Proud of you two!

The inmates were runing the asylum. Good job on not burning down the shop lmao. Always really fun and cool watching non mechanical people learn about mechanics of things.

Love how the rear wheels are put on the wrong direction

Has a newby to your channel, there is so much to watch and I seem to go back and forth in the time line,, loving the antic,, Will is my favourite,, can’t wait for the next 100 mile challenge,, need more road trips please.

The Grind Hard sticker gave it a extra 20 horse and nice body mounts!!!!

It's a corn spider, scary looking but harmless, pretty sure 😅

great work will, I definitely would recommend a lower gear ratio & a torque convertor for the second attempt with those wheels ! :)

yard kart guy here, just to let you guys know your rear tires were put on backwards the whole time. I have 4 yard karts that have centrifugal clutch like the one used on your hot rod kart so some advice i would give is: if the engine is running and actually spinning the inside of the clutch but the outside of the clutch is not moving then let of the gas and shut off the engine. if you keep spinning the clutch like that it will get VERY hat VERY quick and warp the clutch, once its warped its as good as garbage. a lot of the time that will happen going up hills. best way to get up a hill with a centrifugal clutch is just to get a good run at it. welding on the clutch may have already warped it anyway. another tip is that when building a mounting plate for the engine, put the clutch on the engine so that you can line up the drive gear on the clutch with the sprocket on the axle. then when drilling out the holes in the mounting plate slot them in the way that the engine can slide forward and backward when the nuts are loose. this allows you to tighten the chain by sliding the engine forward and then tightening it down. when you don't need to have the all the ports on the engine open i would recommend that you either but on what ever is supposed to be on there like a header or just put some tape over it just so that dust and metal shavings don't get in your engine. and there's my "wall of text yt comment" of today

Yess, been waiting on this go cart series

These two are an amazing addition to the grind hard team! Loved the video and the personality of these two are awesome! Keep up the great work guys! 🙏

Well, I liked the engineering, which went into the previous version. Someone made the stuff work, which might have gone to the junkyard.

Mindset of a genius 🤯🎰🎰🔥 great vid, I wish I could of been a helper for u lol bro , The energy 👌

Grind hard rules seem to have always been to build test fix problems test again THEN worry about paint. Proof of concept is important my friend! Glad your having fun with go karts though!

Well done, guys! For a first time build, that was EPIC!!!

The supports that hold your rear axle will need serious reinforcements, especially if you use this cart offroad

Aren’t the rear tires on backwards?

Buy the following from Go Power Sports or any other reputable kart parts dealer: 30 Series Torque Converter Kit w/ #40/420 idler pinion, #40/420 split sprocket (54-tooth plus with those rear tires you are using), and a hydraulic rear disc brake kit. Yeah, you'll have to redesign the rear to accommodate a jackshaft, but the performance gains are well worth the work. I believe that engine comes equipped with a pulse pump. If not, you might want to install one. As rough as the terrain is around there, you might want to let some air out of those rear tires. Looking forward to the full send!

Bru omg the tires being backward pissed me off the whole time haha😅 😂

the production value on your videos really sets you apart from the rest, the camera work is on another level to all of the vlog channels

Don't let these guys lower your channels standards ever again.

That clutch situation is MADNESS You can see the legit welds on the video when they got it...such a beautiful disaster.

Great content ,keep the good work up ,this is probably going to be a rat rod build which is sick.

It was a premium attempt at least.

A video where Will is in charge. Yes!!! ❤❤❤

Everytime I hear premium, in my head goes "regular"

Just a disclaimer Kamikoto uses 420J2 steel meaning it's no better than your cheap as shit walmart brand kitchen knife, if you want more info on this you should watch Shadiversity's video on this matter.

Smiley needs more supervision and the premium guy shows he is immature for the things y'all do

Now it’s a blackened widow.🔥

This thing is cool! Add a reverse box and u have the rpm & room fit a juggernaut tq conv and let her rip! Oh yeah add those wheel bolts too lol

Seems like you guys, cars and cameras and redbeard are all doing the same thing? You all have crappy shriners cars. Is that what is cool now?

Take that old headlight and use it as a hood ornament for your hotrod go-kart

what you guys need on that cart is a jackshaft and a 40 series torque converter

You mounted the rear tires on backwards. Tread goes other direction. You two should not be left alone in the shop...lol

Love everything about this except the tires on backwards was sending my ocd nuts lol the constant use of premium lol

"I like to call that the snake weld," got me real good! hahah

Theres nothing more “backyard fabulous” than using a mill and a couple drill bits to repurpose scrap into functional parts…. All while calling it a lathe the entire time. I love absolutely it!!👏🏼👏🏼🤘🏼

The next thing to go south is the frame parts that hold the axles. Call this creation..."BAD MOJO"!

Is the sprint car coming back anytime soon?? Love the vid ❤️

Ya boy figgledeamus trent really out here

Sorry guys last post , miss the real grind hard builds , lately it hasn’t been the grind hard guys sorry

"The clutch is all welded." Words you never want to hear.

I definitely wouldn't change the look of it. because it's a ZZ Top eliminator. 1934 Ford five window coupe. it definitely needs to stay that way.

"Easy Peasey" Famous last words for $300, Alex!

love the sound of an expensive knife being wacked into a marble countertop🤣

Great job guys! Room for improvement but great start!

Waiting for the video of you guys building full independent suspension with a cvt clutch on this thing!🙂

You guys did a great job, but I thought the go kart as it was was pretty cool. Now it’s just like every other run of the mill go kart.

I clicked this thinking it was Cars and Cameras, still wasn't disappointed 🤣🤣

Haha kids missin bolts 😂 glad to see other N Idaho boys doin worth while shiz. Went to grade school with Ed and his sister, jealous of what y’all get to do. Funny mixin with the kiddo, made for a great video. Wish there were more eager young bucks like that round

Loved the hood ornament lol great creativity bub

I hate that they cut a hole in it for the exhaust. You have a bender so bend the pipe to miss the body but it’s too late now. Ditch the clutch for a 40 series torque converter for added speed and torque

I want to see you guys build something using slotted extrusions.

The CLUTCH may of been ruined do to the welding. (That style centrifugal clutch has the gear on the outside the away from the motor.) The TIRE tread pattern is also directional and on backwards.

Now time for Ethan to make it full tube chassis and put a fat stroke motor on it
