How much did it cost to build this? I am seriously considering building a buggy style go kart, but the cost is a lot. Im only 15, but my dad has a welder and all the tools that we would need to build one, but I'm not sure he wants to put a whole lot of money into one of these. I would also probably only have a 420cc engine at the most.
I think the 420 is the way to go for you with the 40 series torque converter cvt is fairly cheap. Take your time look around for a decent cheap go kart frame will save you 80% of the work. There will be plenty to modify with suspension mounting the engine live axel upgrade and so on. I've got some videos of exactly that started off with a 420 overrid the governor seized the engine put a 670 on it and an expensive duster clutch really not a whole lot different than the 420 to be honest. Mostly the cool factor of the 670 cost way more. The most fun is actually building it and figuring it out. This video here I found a perfectly good running Honda nighthawk the guy hit a deer sold the bike for a $1000 pretty much cut the frame out and left the motor in it was fun but it starts costing a lot. Practice with the cheaper 420 when you get bored with that find an ATV engine with reverse.
@@ians1464 Okay, thanks a lot. Also, is it possible to find a gearbox or something that you could attach to a 420cc engine that would allow you to have reverse? I know they make reverse gearboxes, but from what I have seen they are not meant for anything stronger than a 212cc.
Pretty much just like a 4 Wheeler then I didn't have to reinvent clutch mechanisms and throttles I wanted it to operate like a motorcycle. You will have to check how much leg Room you have and how long the bars are
That is wicked, thanks for sharing!
Thanks I think I just about have the chain figured out and I can give it a better rip
Big like and share from tbc bud
Very nice build!
You would like to see my homemade 1/5 49cc RC buggy!
Yeah where did you get the engine
@@ians1464 the engine I'm using is from a pocket bike

That is really cool 👊😎
Thanks it has evolved over the years
Dang that’s a sweet kart!
How do you like the handle bar steering? I was thinking about doing that on little kart I got...

Man that kart is just super nasty I would love to give that mean machine a go
Thanks man if you ever by camp Lejeune you can
@@ians1464 heck ya bud I’ll keep that in mind
Still having a little bit of trouble with the chain made some adjustments need to test it again.
