Definitely build new spindles for ol gravy bones. Take care of your ride height, camber, and the tie rod mount points. You know your going to fix it, it's gonna drive ya crazy until you do!
Consider a clear or "satin" clear coat for the kart, after you have the rust blasted off of course. Everyone always does black or red, but I'd love to see one in a raw metal look one day.
Gravy bones looks so much better with the bigger tires. Does your kart need the Ackermann steering angle done to your spindles? Or is that not possible with the one tie rod linking them both together?
it is possible, just like on any american truck with a live front axle and drag link, it's just a case of pointing the steering arms towards the centre of the rear diff
🤔 I'm with you when it comes to the cam of the front wheels. With the speeds that you want to reach with gravy bones it might be a little too much cam but it might be perfect I would wait to see how it performs before adjusting it.
Negative camber will hurt turn in…front end will be lazy on corner entry and since a solid rear axle means the kart relies on unloading the inside rear wheel, it will likely understeer too much. Now I realize it won’t be on pavement but the effect will be the same. Looks cool but I think you should stand em up.
Camber: Take 'er for a rip and see how it handles on dirt/grass/road then make your decision from there. I think it's a *bit* too much camber, but I'm just a bumblefsck armchair engineer. :)
Hey I was just wondering about drilling and tapping a single line master cylinder to install a hydraulic brake light switch to operate brake light on a cart that I have. It looks like it has a raised section for it but, I have not been able to find anything where someone has done something like that. Is it even possible?
I really dont expect a response but would yall at Red Beard know where i could get a go kart axle fabricated made and shipped to me? I need an exact copy of the axle i already have (except one extra key way i need added) to fit the specific wheels hubs/brake drum set up the kart i have uses and i cannot find any live axle thats even remotely similar in dimensions and length.
The camber looks cool, but I think you have a toe out issue. I'm not an expert, but I would double check that. The build is looking great with those tires. 👍
Camber will be good if you plan on sliding around a lot an it is a yard car s not something you would take on a ruff trail id leave it slid that thing around
I don't think you're going to like the way it handles with that much camber. I can see 1 or 2 degrees of camber being useful in some situations but straight up is probably the best bet.
I dont really care for the camber. If it were my kart I would make it have zero camber but clock the knuckles back so the tires bite when you turn and it will want to track straight. Plus it helps take the weight off the inside rear tire when you turn. Just my two cents plus it is not my build....
Too much negative camber, pointless on rounded tyres. It'll cause problems with toe over rough ground and make you every which way but straight, best Idea is to cut the things off and replace them with a setup that corrects the height, or use 16" tyres and flip them back the right way up (that's what I would do)
that camber on a dirt kart not really going to help if anything its giving you less tire on the ground.. plus will wear the inside edge on any type of hard surface
Set for 1-2* neg camber MAX - I prefer 0 -1* pos camber for handling and looks. Not a fan of changing the angle built into the spindle to change camber - this can make the tire follow an odd arc in turns if there is also camber built into the spindle bracket.
What I think you should do is straighten up those pipes that the wheels are on triangulated so what has strength and make the wheels camber correct also I think you should put some kind of front suspension on this thing if it's really fast that's going to keep you from damaging the frame the frame will absorb the shock if you have no suspension you've got to put some kind of front suspension on that thing it's if it's fast good luck man God bless Happy Thanksgiving and may Jesus bless you and all your endeavors peace out into the world have a great day
Loose the camber. It is way to much. A little resource on how different kingpin angles can make the tires dig in on corners but just to run it like that just looks stupid in my opinion. Ground contact patch is way too small and basically on the inner shoulder of your tires. Tire life is down the toilet that way.
The camber looks just as stupid on that as it does on everything else that has had it set like that ! That being said since the camber is from flipping the spindles it will do just the opposite of what kingpin angle does , it will unload the inside tire in turns instead of loading it. So for looks get rid of it , for handling get rid of it and for safety get rid of it !
That camber is useless other than causing sketchy handling and accelerating tire wear.. It's too extreme to gain any traction in any terain or pavement...1degree negative or less maximum will net you maximum traction due to maximum tread footprint during cornering on dirt or pavement... Unless you're in Japan,Korea,or Thailand where it's a fashion statement and considered cool by the ricers then that is redonkulous without an articulating suspension... Looks as todded as the Gayolina squat too but hey wouldn't hurt anyone snowflakes feelers with the truth or facts yanno...😐
I would definitely fix that crazy camber. No doubt about it.
Ditch the camber! Love the channel!
7:33 Camber is... for me a bit much. Camber works, but for a cart... "Naw boy. That's just a whiskey shot or two... much." As Grandpa used to say. LOL
I'm so stuck with my shopping-gokart, you duds are saving my day and my project thanks a lot
Great to hear!
Love how everything is just less than overkill. Says send me please 😁
A 95 civic on nopi nationals day 🤣🤣🤣 I mean.... lol I would see how it handles but the tire wear would drive my ocd crazy!
I would fix the camber issue. It's an awesome lookin build.
Definitely build new spindles for ol gravy bones. Take care of your ride height, camber, and the tie rod mount points. You know your going to fix it, it's gonna drive ya crazy until you do!
Love the camber
I don’t know kinda like the camber. Just try it and see how it feels!
Happy Thanksgiving!
My thought about the camber is get rid of it but besides that I'm really liking this build
The camber is great if you are drifting
Hey, that's a really cool 😎 intro 👍👍

Personally not a fan of the cambered kart. I would definitely change it. Otherwise I frickin love it !!

Now I realize it won’t be on pavement but the effect will be the same. Looks cool but I think you should stand em up.
I would go with a little less camber. Maybe 2 or 3 degrees?
I would take the camber out. The tire up grade sets the kart off! The kart looks a ton better.

Yeah man loving the cambered look. looks sick should handle better aswel
Have you tuned the fuel up in the Chinese diesel yet?

I think I would change camber. I also don’t think it will be good for the handling of the kart
Great content
If you like the look of the cambered look that’s cool but with no moving suspension you’ll never get the handling out of it that you want
Not really digging the cambered look. Definitely reminds me of a vip civic too. But I do like the ride height and tires.
Rust beard!
I’d Definitely Change The Way of The Front Tires Cause it’s Gonna Wear Out The Inside of the tires
Where do you get your parts
links are in the video description
Word!

Find a local fabrication shop
The camber looks cool, but I think you have a toe out issue. I'm not an expert, but I would double check that.
The build is looking great with those tires. 👍
Skraighten them wheels up bo
Greg, you should do a goatee. Hey, it’s still a red beard…
Camber will be good if you plan on sliding around a lot an it is a yard car s not something you would take on a ruff trail id leave it slid that thing around
So I have a question does anyone know a good website for Suzuki lt250rs??
Yep camber is butt ugly to me! But other than that Badass build. Tell Ms. Red Beard nice High waters in the last video. I was rollin 🤣
I don't think you're going to like the way it handles with that much camber. I can see 1 or 2 degrees of camber being useful in some situations but straight up is probably the best bet.
I think it’s just a bit too much camber but it’s your rig not mine so you run what you want
Hate the camber but that's up to you but I don't like it at all but cool go cart would love to have one
need to change the camber
He said Nopi Nationals.
Nopi Nationals 1997 we brought home souvenir. One week from today she makes us grandparents.
Thanks. That thing looks great. All you can do is try it out and see what happens.
Knoxville boy is first. Bought dam time
I think it looks like it is bent from hitting something. I think half that much would look better if it then steers ok.
Fine, I'll let you know what I think. Camber Bad!
Put a brace on both sides of the brake pivot, and fix that camber crap
Sweet video red beard # first!
No drastic camber. It looks like someone dropped a Boulder on the front and squashed it down. Plus handling will be compromised.
Camber makes it looked like one of the "stanced" cars which looks stupid. Only put in enough camber to make it handle correctly.
Don't worry bout the beard Mathew 6:33-34 keep your focus on Christ may the joy of The LORD be your strength
Not a fan of the camber. A little would be nice but you will be riding on your sidewalls almost as it is.
What happened to these frames was going to make and sell
I dont really care for the camber. If it were my kart I would make it have zero camber but clock the knuckles back so the tires bite when you turn and it will want to track straight. Plus it helps take the weight off the inside rear tire when you turn. Just my two cents plus it is not my build....
Stand the front wheels up right, it looks kinda messed up like that
For the street tires, keep the camber
For the cleats, definitely flip the spindles back around.
Red please paint that cart with some antitrust
When is the next 883 cart video. Want to hear it and see it drive ect ect wct
It has some other trade shows to go to. It'll probably be after Christmas.
Looks broken but see how it handles first 🤔
Fix the camber looks really weird
Too much negative camber, pointless on rounded tyres. It'll cause problems with toe over rough ground and make you every which way but straight, best Idea is to cut the things off and replace them with a setup that corrects the height, or use 16" tyres and flip them back the right way up (that's what I would do)
Some camber is good for high speed but that's way too much
Lose the chamber unless wanna buy tires all the time
Change your front toe and it's gonna wear out your tires on one side I want to have them leveled they won't wear out your tires as fast
Fix the camber. It looks like you jumped it and bent the spindles.
that camber on a dirt kart not really going to help if anything its giving you less tire on the ground.. plus will wear the inside edge on any type of hard surface
straighten the wheels
Set for 1-2* neg camber MAX - I prefer 0 -1* pos camber for handling and looks. Not a fan of changing the angle built into the spindle to change camber - this can make the tire follow an odd arc in turns if there is also camber built into the spindle bracket.
Too much on the camber imho. A little might look alright, but that is just too hard
No it’s got a little too much camber
change it
fix the camber
Don't like the camber. Id always think I bent something. Lol
What I think you should do is straighten up those pipes that the wheels are on triangulated so what has strength and make the wheels camber correct also I think you should put some kind of front suspension on this thing if it's really fast that's going to keep you from damaging the frame the frame will absorb the shock if you have no suspension you've got to put some kind of front suspension on that thing it's if it's fast good luck man God bless Happy Thanksgiving and may Jesus bless you and all your endeavors peace out into the world have a great day
Way too much chamber only few degrees is all you need
No to the camber .
The camber totally ruins the look of the cart!
NO camber. It just doesn’t look right.
take most of the camber out
Fix the camber is going to drive like crap I would imagine. Drift kart? Keep it
Loose the camber. It is way to much. A little resource on how different kingpin angles can make the tires dig in on corners but just to run it like that just looks stupid in my opinion. Ground contact patch is way too small and basically on the inner shoulder of your tires. Tire life is down the toilet that way.
All I got to say is way to much camber !
Not digging the camber at all.
Too much camber
Looks like alot of camber and toe 😑
The camber looks just as stupid on that as it does on everything else that has had it set like that !
That being said since the camber is from flipping the spindles it will do just the opposite of what kingpin angle does , it will unload the inside tire in turns instead of loading it.
So for looks get rid of it , for handling get rid of it and for safety get rid of it !
Camber me no likie.
Please please please cut off that mustache! I'm gonna have nightmares about it ✂️🙏
Loose that camber. Looks horrible and makes a weak spot on your frame.
That camber is useless other than causing sketchy handling and accelerating tire wear.. It's too extreme to gain any traction in any terain or pavement...1degree negative or less maximum will net you maximum traction due to maximum tread footprint during cornering on dirt or pavement...

Looks as todded as the Gayolina squat too but hey wouldn't hurt anyone snowflakes feelers with the truth or facts yanno...😐
Hate the camber ,looks terrible, doesn't match that sexy machine at all.
Change it. Look like its bent. Lol
