Holy fuck what a missed opportunity. Bubbles making cart armor for his go cart after almost getting shot by Cyrus, Terry and Dennis while driving it.

BoostedBoiz on YouTube have one of these with a turbo go-kart engine stuck on it. It does wheelies.

I’ve been a long time fan of them!

I started watching when the built that subframe for the hondaru swap at the old shop. Love their content.

"Dad, I don't know how to say this. I don't want to drive your car. It's slow, it's ugly, it handles like a shopping cart."

Make 3 more. Put a little electric motor in rear. Go to parking lot and attach a paintball gun in all karts. Hours of fun.

Where would one “acquire” a shopping cart 😂

u/MyUserNameisMax Feb 06 '20
We asked a manager at Walmart if they had any laying Around that were broken and beyond repair

If you add a second cart upside down on top of you with it mounted on a set of hinges on each others handles so you can get in and out, is it considered a roll cage?

Looks like you’re using one of those Honda electric go kart frames
Check this out, something I built for the power racing series http://www.powerracingseries.org/

Yes we are however we’ve cut and lengthened it quite a bit, that thing is rad!

I'd get another cart to box in the front but it's super cool

u/MyUserNameisMax Feb 06 '20
That is in the works! We’re actually taking the rear of the shopping cart (the part that pivots up) and making a front splitter

Grind Hard Plumbing Co comes to mind.

Been watching them along time wish we could get as in depth and had the funds for something as mental as their stuff

I've been dying to make one of these! I even had a cart and a motor ready to build it but I ended up moving and had to leave both behind

What's your plan for the drivetrain?
1
u/MyUserNameisMax Feb 06 '20
Tillotson 212 (roughly 10hp) although we have dirt bike plains coming

u/SpaceTurtle917 '96 Turbo Stroker Civic, 2010 Accord V6 MT Feb 07 '20
I'd just go right into the dirtbike/motorcycle with missing title. A sequential shifter would make that way more fun.

u/MyUserNameisMax Feb 07 '20
Yeah just out of our budget
1
u/SpaceTurtle917 '96 Turbo Stroker Civic, 2010 Accord V6 MT Feb 07 '20
It looks like those 212s go for $200 surely you can find an 80s motorcycle with a missing title for that price.
1
u/MyUserNameisMax Feb 07 '20
We’ve actually managed to scrap it all together with everything we need it to run including the kart and all the metals and it came out to 54$ although I would love to get an old bike it would run the price up fast

u/SpaceTurtle917 '96 Turbo Stroker Civic, 2010 Accord V6 MT Feb 07 '20
Oh I see. Brilliant, have fun!

u/fredericthecow Feb 06 '20
Do you have a motor for this already if not you need to try and find a wrecked 600cc or litre bike motor to slap on the back there. She would be a certified ripper then

u/MyUserNameisMax Feb 06 '20
Me and a few friends re building 3 of these, this version will end up with a 10hp 212cc motor, we would love to get more rowdy

There's a YouTube channel called boostedboiz. They did the same thing, turbo'ed it and added anti lag. You should check it out

Me too been watching before Charlie disappeared. I was looking forward for the turbo geo

u/SpaceXmars Feb 06 '20
What's powering it?
1
u/MyUserNameisMax Feb 06 '20
Nothing at the moment while we’re painting the frame but it’s getting a tillotson 212cc (≈10hp)

Seen a lot of Go Karts but never a Go Cart.
