FYI... if you take the 3 inch spacers down to 2 inches on each front wheel or slide the rear wheels out further on the axles, the front tires will bite more in the turns and help the maneuverability of live axle go karts. I used to race go karts. It's a small change with big results!
Love the go-kart looks nice. But I 2 agree the frame is over priced and most of us can't afford it, because I was going to get one. Keep up the killer video's
This is the nicest cleanest looking cart I have seen assembled: I am a neat clean minimalist builder myself. I like a clean functional look. With a lower wide stance. I haven't found a single cart until this one that nailed my style. Only thing is the paint job. I am in custom paint and finish by trade. I always kringe when I see no primer and true prep. However it's just a kart. One mean looking Kart too. So I will let you slide on the paint
Good Job! Best build yet! Beyond just a great product, I can see a yard-kart class at local dirt-tracks for the these frames with a spec motor and tires as an inexpensive way to get into racing.
That is a great looking cart. Good job RBG. Sounds healthy too. I like the splattered look on the engine cover. Looks like that cart would be a blast to ride. Thanks for the video.
Forget the kill switch make it nos button! Lol You should try a all out performance build and balance the engine to see how many rpm you could get and run on a dyno to see how many hp it can produce. Beings they have two oil drains I thought of using one to add oil filter and the low oil sensor hole to make a lubrication squirter also an oil cooler could be added.
Red Beard's Garage I know they don't have an oil pump what I have in mind is a belt driven pump from crankshaft it doesn't need to be really big and not a lot of pressure just needs to circulate oil through a filter and oil cooler. I also was looking at using an old ford v8 smog pump for belt driven supercharger I believe it should pump air fast enough to create a little pressure.
I like the way it's built I have one that's very close its called a purple haze I have a lot of work to do on it somebody cut the roll cage off of it & the live axle everything is stuck on it I bent a lot of parts heating them & using pullers on the this kart has a jack shaft on it with the driven clutch on the left side and the right side is the small gear & the big gear is on the axle
How does having the front tires spaced out like that affect the steering/handling? I would have spaced them out an inch less than you did, just to keep the stress on the spindles down, unless it makes it handle alot better.
I got to try and duplicate that paint job on my go kart cause that is the coolest colors on a go kart I’ve ever seen Love the vids keep up the good work
That is one classy gokart Greg. I just got my hands on a taotao 110cc atv frame for free. Going to be put a 212 predator in it. probably gonna film it and post it on youtube.
Still wondering why they didn't do the dropped front axle like the Amex and Dingos. Price seems crazy! Can find used Dingos and Amex karts cheap then do this to them. I have a video on my page of one I converted years ago.
Only problem from 12/20 purchase of 2 Go-Kart Alley frames is that one of the frames didn’t have the throttle/brake cable brackets welded on. For the $600 price ea for a Made in America frame (as RBG mentions near the end of this video), there should have been Quality Control inspection either in from the frame vendor or on the way out of Go Kart Alley in Keller TX. So far, no response from them on what they will do to resolve this issue. I have to learn how to weld!
Sweet go kart!!! I just came across your channel and new I had to hit subscribe when I saw the attention to detail even on the pedals with a bedliner coating and red circle cutouts. Nice! Can't wait to see what's next
+Penny 4life you have to unbolt the two sides of the caliper and knock out the pin holding the arm. Then install the arm how you need it and put it all back together
Hey red on the latest red cart u built do know what cam is in that motor I'm actually building one that is very similar I got a few different performance cams but just curious good cam with a T/C being is that tc won't rev as high thanks
I'm looking to buy a Kart for my grandaughter. Have you ever heard of a "Shaller Go-Kart"? It has a Predator 420 engine with an electric start and a battery. It looks vintage, possibly from an amusement park. Anyway, it looks well put together. Not like the average kart. The guy is asking only $700!!! I think I'm gonna get this kart! IF I'm right, it may be worth a lot more than what he's asking. I wish I could upload a picture of it! Anyway.......Thanks for your Input Big Red! Keep up the good work

😅😅😅😅😅
😊😊😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😊😊
that is hands down the best looking 212 ever built!
I want one so bad
Its a 420
colbster54trains u sure
Ur right its a 212
Agreed. Have you thought about building motors for people?
That thing is so clean looking, it should be made into its own class of go karts.
That motor looks good AF
only trouble i see with this beautiful build is the leg room. why such a short wheel base? tube steel reinforced would be fine, make it comfortable
He's having so much fun can't wait to build my own
very cool build! 55 mph.... you could run shine in that bad boy.....cheers!
Too rich for my blood. I have to stick with rebuilding the Craigslist Specials!
Ryan Courts tell me about it
The only bad thing is its hard to find one on cragslist sometimes
Same thing here brother!!! Nothing wrong with that though!!!
That's the best looking go cart I've ever seen
Farout these look great. Those upgrades really turn the fun up to 11.
That thing is slick
Those are some awesome looking tires!
Mannnn. That engine looks awesome
Thanks man
Love the go-kart looks nice. But I 2 agree the frame is over priced and most of us can't afford it, because I was going to get one.
Keep up the killer video's
Do more videos like this red beard, the entire build in one video
2.0 is awesome!
The go.kart is so sick and I love the engine cover the specks
I have the valve spring compression tool made, but need to give you a few instructions on its use.
+OKIE CHOPPER I will try to call you tonight Okie

Dude this guy builds some bad ass go karts all the time💯
Great job! Looking forward to the race against little red.
That cart was hella fast nice build
ok but why is this beat going unnecessarily hard
This gokart looks better than most people's truck "builds"
+Drew Love thanks man
I find really looks great I like the way that red makes it pop.
Them Fairview Baptist Tabernacles sure do build a mean go cart.
What a sweet freakin cart. Looks awesome RB! The frame is sweet too.
Really great build I personally love it
I love the wheels heck the hole cart very good job👌
I like the setup and the wheels. Also it has good clearance

I like this kart's frame,gonna use this on my supercharged gx390 tron kart
You make a great point about the price for the frame. Rb you've inspired me to start tinkering in my garage
It's gonna be nice !
I think this is the first video that seen where you guys are wearing helmets 😂😂
i like the engine sound
i like everything good Job
Actually for me I might get Trailmaster MB200 still and probably the Gokart but is knobby tires.
Nice job. A red go kart on red beards garage
Your thoughts are very beautiful
Forget the kill switch make it nos button! Lol

Beings they have two oil drains I thought of using one to add oil filter and the low oil sensor hole to make a lubrication squirter also an oil cooler could be added.
They have no oil pump on the engines. If I had a charging system I could. The button was actually for nos lol. Later video

Awesome cart.
Awesome go kart man!
That is sick af
Good video! I have been watching your videos trying to make my own go kart and now I'm hooked
+Charlie Martindale it is easy to do man. Thanks for watching
I like the way it's built I have one that's very close its called a purple haze I have a lot of work to do on it somebody cut the roll cage off of it & the live axle everything is stuck on it I bent a lot of parts heating them & using pullers on the this kart has a jack shaft on it with the driven clutch on the left side and the right side is the small gear & the big gear is on the axle
Use GPS test to get your top speed next time. Its free in the app store on android.
Looks great
very nice go kart man. I like the color you did on the pull start cover.
+Rod Tutt thanks man
Try bringing the front wheels in a little, it should get rid of the push
It grips good. The only time it pushes the front end is if you floor it when setting still and try to sharp turn.
Red Beard's Garage I grew up racing karts, I miss those days. Wish I never sold my last one, coyote wide track le with a Yamaha KT 100😢
Perfect fun project for my everlast welder.
How does having the front tires spaced out like that affect the steering/handling? I would have spaced them out an inch less than you did, just to keep the stress on the spindles down, unless it makes it handle alot better.
+16driver16 not sure I would have to compare it back to back to know
That thing is sweet!! I bet those tires and rims cost alot of money. the frame looks like a older manco design.
+Jonathan Hohenbrink it's a remake of a manco
Wooh wooh that's the sound of the police
I got to try and duplicate that paint job on my go kart cause that is the coolest colors on a go kart I’ve ever seen
Love the vids keep up the good work
Thanks man
I was dying at 16:12 😂
you guys should do an e85 conversion on one of the karts or bikes
That is one classy gokart Greg. I just got my hands on a taotao 110cc atv frame for free. Going to be put a 212 predator in it. probably gonna film it and post it on youtube.
+Brandon'svlog do it man
Aye Redbeard you know if you buy even a small residential wood chipper the motor is at least 1000cc and the torque on the motor would be massive
is awesome brother
Still wondering why they didn't do the dropped front axle like the Amex and Dingos. Price seems crazy! Can find used Dingos and Amex karts cheap then do this to them. I have a video on my page of one I converted years ago.
You went full freaking savage with that motor build man. I mean it's an absolutely beautiful machine, I take tell you truly take pride in your work.
+pogosticknick thanks man. There was a ton of work in this video
Red Beard's Garage how much would u want for this go kart build
How much would the frame for the cart and wheels cost ? Wheels are smart
+darrin goodbrand frame is $450 and wheels and tires are around $350
yes it is american made, yes it is cool but for that price you can buy a good racing frame used/new
mightress Lmao, wanna know what’s sad, I found one of those frames the other day at work, Just bought a 212 CC engine for it, hopefully it works
I love little red 2.0 very nice can't wait for next video
Can you make a video on how to build the engine you used in this video for the go cart
It's on the channel. Just look for 212cc engine build. It's also in a playlist
I wish they would make a XXL frame.
Great kart love it
Have you ever considerd using a flat head motor?
We have one we are going to use very soon. Actually two. A 8hp and a 5hp
Red Beard's Garage awesome! I'm in the process of turboing an 8 horse
Ever consider using lock nuts? Hate for you steering to all of a sudden loosen off.. Just saying.
Kool kart
Dude ur hauling ass with that i really want to see RGB vs CNC or cars and cameras would be an awesome race
Amazing video it's finally here
Im maybe going to build a gokart like little red. Any tips? And what engine upgrades do you have on it?
+Eat My Moto Dust same that is on this kart
Nice! Awesome job on build and the links for everything! Instead of searching for parts click link and buy!
Real nice
That engine looks AWESOME!!! Keep up the good work.
Thanks man
Where did you get that valve cover and how much did it cost?
+Davin Lyda Mr valve cover on Facebook
Awesome kart! This is the XL version correct? Have you tried gps for speedometer?
+FireAndGasoline this is the cxl frame. No but I need to try it out
The good thing about the gps apps is they work even if the phone dosent have service. So you can use an old phone and not worry about dropping it.
Red Beard's Garage: hey red beard i was wondering what you did with the 25 hp kohler engine? Did you sell it?
FireAndGasoline what app is that?
Jay Nicee there are a few, i use one called "Ulysse Speedometer"
Would a manco dingo jacksaft/engine mount fit this frame?
+16driver16 I'm not sure.

Youre gonna love thoes maxxis, you'll never wanna go back to the go powersports ones lol
What I like to run on my quads. Maxxis all trek
Go power sports sells maxis
Love the videos you put out
+Jared Snow thanks man
Nice job !!! After the build up on the motor do you still use the stock spark plug or do you change it, if so to what ? Tks Kirk
That go kart is nice. How did you speckle the engine shroud
+Justin Pate dip your fingers in paint and flick it
love the cart , love the look but $300 shipping kills it for me
Sweet kart. God bless. 👍
What is the best belt to use for a 30 series CVT. Which brand holds up the best?
I will try to find the model number and get it to you
Red Beard's Garage thanks man. I just rebuilt a Spider box and installed a predator 212cc and it turned out nice.
When are you Versing it against little red?
+Hooo Dawgehh hopefully next week.
Sweet go kart!!! I just came across your channel and new I had to hit subscribe when I saw the attention to detail even on the pedals with a bedliner coating and red circle cutouts. Nice! Can't wait to see what's next
+MRDJHOLLOWCOST thanks man.
I like this guy!
where can i find those spindles and springs? i have a dingo kart that needs a upgrade!
+6'6 GARAGE on go power sports. I will put the link in tonight
Fixing to copy this frame but using 1.25" tube to make it look a lil bigger for us big kids.
Love the vids. But how do I swap the arm on the mechanical brake system like from top to bottom etc
+Penny 4life you have to unbolt the two sides of the caliper and knock out the pin holding the arm. Then install the arm how you need it and put it all back together
Red Beard's Garage thx so hit that pin with a tap or something
+Penny 4life yeah from the inside of the caliper. That's why you have to take it apart
Do you have to weld the frame together
+Nickolas Nelson you can buy it either way
Hey would you be willing to share where you got those front spindles with springs for this build?
Go power sports has them
Is there a way to have the plans to build the frame?
Hey red on the latest red cart u built do know what cam is in that motor I'm actually building one that is very similar I got a few different performance cams but just curious good cam with a T/C being is that tc won't rev as high thanks
+Chris Haskell mod2. This one revs to 8k
so was the disc brake mount bracket already on the frame or did you add that yourself. On the website it seems to come only with a drum brake.
This frame came with the disk brake mount already welded in place.
what is the axle made of and will it rust? Very nice, thanks for the video
Its nickle plated steel and it will not rust
Red Beard's Garage thanks

Can a gx270/ predator301 with a torque converter comfortably fit in the back on the engine mount?
Yeah it's ready for a big block
