Great work and great skills. I am building one myself from scratch and I'm using rack & pinion for steering, in a form of a bicycle sprocket and chain. It's not that hard to manufacture and you can feel every bump in your hands
bro much love and respect never stop what you are doing...i always want to make my own everything you gave me the mind power and inspiration...God bless you
6 years later this helped me alot for how I need to make a shifter kart. I'm going to add a 200cc 5 speed engine and to increase hp a NRG steering wheel and underglow.
I like your technique, the way you lay it on floor , using the bricks and weld it from there. Sorry man but I will be copying that. Looking forward for the next one.
I would highly recommend a tubing notcher. The closer the tubes fit, the stronger (and safer) they will be when welded up. Welding is about making two pieces of metal into one. It is definitely an art, but there is a lot of science that has gone into studying what makes it strong and in some cases light as well. I recommend looking at steel bicycles being TIG (GTAW) welded. you will probably never see any structure that is more on the edge of being strong and light at the same time. Also look at how to properly clean your metal before welding. Contamination in the welds will weaken the joints and make them prone to cracking. Still I admire your attitude as well as your skill for a home craftsman.
I built one of these with a Suzuki 370 RM 2-stroke! I started with a Yamaha cart frame an cut the motor mount out of the Motor bike frame. Saves a lot of time. Was very loud an fast.
I love these inspiring videos ❤, when you post up about building or modifying a frame to a shifter kart, you either have people that has faith and knows theres only so much to these karts, it can be done, side from costs, a lot think its better off to just to buy an actual shifter kart, but why not build something or build something up from little to your own custom own of a kind shifter kart! In all of these scenes where you see someone have a over time fixing up project, it is amazing to see it coming together! I've watched the other vids of this sweet kart, I'm just posting this as im building a shifter kart myself
Awesome project i race karts myself, not a shifter kart but a rotax 125cc senior racing kart and its really fun. Please put paddle shifters on it it would be awesome, good luck with the project ;D
I picked up a kymco 250 4 stroke motor with 5 speed and reverse to build a shifter with for $100 it came with the radiator and everything else too lol your vid gave me a great idea for what I need to do
And that is the reason for the request. Somewhere in the middle of your two extremes includes a lot of us. With the right technique and understanding of the basic logic we have a good chance of getting the frame aligned correctly.
It was a legitimate request and is pertinent to the build. You are adding nothing to the conversation. Instead, you are trying to make yourself look bigger by belittling other people. GFY.
I almost always get problems trying to eyeball it because of the metal warping as it cools lol, but fine measurements and clamps/weight usually help. I miss the big shop tables we had at school haha, super easy to fab on
haha I had the benefit of multiple squares from the machine shop as well as a couple cubes, those were so handy! edit- and dont forget the aluminium angle (milled out inside corner so it's square all the way) it sucks some heat from the weld too, great for stainless TIG
Right now I''m at the beginning of setting up my own bike-garage (finally moved into my own) and it looks like your workshop could serve as the prototype and inspiration. Any suggestions or advice you would be ready to share, what's missing in your set-up? Thumbs up for the go-cart!
As someone who races proper shifter karts I would suggest adding caster to your kingpins otherwise you're just going to have a mile of understeer with those tires.
Hmmmm...i think you need a turbo to increase the speed of the cart, Plus you need a cool exhaust to make your cart sound cool, no need to buy one, liked the vid 👍👍👍
People whining about him not using welding gloves don't understand that it doesn't hurt much once you've done it awhile, some of us just get used to it. Awesome fabrication skills displayed here, and so simplistic of a style. I Love RatherBWelding, he could build cars if he had a bigger studio.
Hi, I love your videos. I am an avid dirtbike rider. Slightly above average skills. I I think it would be fun to take your electric dirt bikes on a real MX track to test them on real situations. If you’re willing to travel to the Philadelphia area or anywhere in the surrounding area, I would be happy to be part of your “testing“
Just FYI, if your not using shielding gas, you dont really need to use that nozzle on your gun. Real nice work, I think you've inspired me into another project. Good job.
Wow this is awesome! I actually planned on doing this same sort of project (welding up a shifter kart frame and building a real shifter kart) and I have all the parts for one, except the engine. Once I find a cheap engine for it, I'll be starting on this project to!
try grinding the ends of your pipe to a curve so when you butt them against each other it makes alot stronger joint and looks better also when you want to finish it
Hope you don't come to regret not beveling those tube welds bro, nice job, it's just that those karts have need of one break like the welds on the steering bolts to ruin your whole week and it one of those tube welds goes out while you are going down the road, it can pitch you head over butt, as I've seen it with a yz250 at about 66 mph, was not purty.
Id like to see u build a trans with 4,to 5 speeds like ur 2 speed trany shifter carts transmision ,with reverse,that bee bullet proof,to breaking down,u got the talent,
Anybody watching this and planning on building one, you seriously need to be able to notch the tubing correctly where they join to the other tubes. Just butt welding with open ends like he’s doing is dangerous because it’s not a strong joint. The contact area between the tubing is not enough. If this were a kart built to actually race there would be no sanctioning body that would allow it through a tech inspection. A properly notched tube would cover about 1/3 of the tube that it’s being joined into.
Bro this is insane.. onl one thing that goes obligatory, the secuencial shift because the paddle some times gets crazy when the battery is low or simple gets crazy so... i recomend you to have the secuancial one. And of course is a diferent expirence.
Keep it up bro. Love your channel. I learn alot watching you. Im thinking by the end of this year, your going to be a full time youtuber with 200k subs.
2t love. been telling another channel that's where all the power is. i understand why most of you guys don't, what with having go powersports as a sponsor
Theres no chance in hell that those rear axle bearing mounts will take the force of a shifter around a corner. If you just doing straight line speed runs etc fine but once you turn into a corner with speed, that will be the first thing to go
Good build but next one maybe try less cutting and welding on your frame/chassis and use the tube bender more cut and weld where needed itll both be and look better quality just suggestion
He should have a patreon to build a bigger shop. Like so he can see this!
I like how you actually get stuff done on your builds each video unlike so many other TH-camrs
I also love your diverse selection of backing audio. Some youtubers use the same music over and over again. Drives a person nuts.
Great work and great skills. I am building one myself from scratch and I'm using rack & pinion for steering, in a form of a bicycle sprocket and chain. It's not that hard to manufacture and you can feel every bump in your hands
This guy should be one of the biggest go kart channels on TH-cam! He is an amazing welder and is such a big motivation for my channel!

Youre putting alot of faith in your plywood floor being level and not warped at all
Very nice. I like how you just get in there and get it done .I like it. Great job as always.
I like your technique, the way you lay it on floor , using the bricks and weld it from there. Sorry man but I will be copying that. Looking forward for the next one.
This build moved really quick!
Massive respect for your builds!
Sir you're work is amazing keep up the professionalism it's outstanding
It can be any brand frame but the best ones to get idea of what you wanna build from scratch is either a flat track oval or sprint race kart frame
Exactly what I need , I want to build my self a go kart
Eu Tu put a cr500 engine in one
@@prime0591 lmao
Broke my heart to see all of those beautiful bends for the main frame then you just stuck a straight pipe on for the back rail 😞

It'll be fine

Dude this is the sickest build yet
Tried building this. Now, 1 year later, i am still not finished with the engine mounts. Creds to rather b welding for being such efficient with this!
its so satisfying watching you building things you are soooo lucky man 👍🏾
I just found your channel and I love it very minimal talking and lots of work being done!
I agree tells you what he gonna do and then gets on and does it.
true, me too. just subscribed this channel after the intro.

Your most proffesional looking frame yet!
This is the best part by part video ever
Dude you must live in Washington with rain for a week straight, but you do awesome work man keep it up I love watching .
That’s looks sick dude, you make it all look so simple ‼️‼️
Awesome project i race karts myself, not a shifter kart but a rotax 125cc senior racing kart and its really fun. Please put paddle shifters on it it would be awesome, good luck with the project ;D
So dope. Tons of respect. These other dudes only know how to turn a wrench.
Nice idea if you bored with two wheel drive, thanks for sharing friend
Built to cinder block specifications. Love it.
This is serious handwork
You do nice work. You should get a gas conversion kit for the welder, would come out so much slicker for ya too Good job
Have you ever considered using an insert tube were you currently butt weld your frame sections? Enjoying your work a lot, thanks for all you do.
Part two please! Nice work man 👍👌
I picked up a kymco 250 4 stroke motor with 5 speed and reverse to build a shifter with for $100 it came with the radiator and everything else too lol your vid gave me a great idea for what I need to do
Impressive. If able sometimes would like to see how you go about getting the components aligned and square so it tracks properly.
And that is the reason for the request. Somewhere in the middle of your two extremes includes a lot of us. With the right technique and understanding of the basic logic we have a good chance of getting the frame aligned correctly.

edit- and dont forget the aluminium angle (milled out inside corner so it's square all the way) it sucks some heat from the weld too, great for stainless TIG
Wish I could just build and magically it all works out. Haha that was a good one.
The jump cut editing is cool
This he has been watching this guy xD
th-cam.com/video/N54fzGwMybk/w-d-xo.htmlm51s
awsome video i've been watching your videos for like 5 years
the last shuifter cart was cool i wish i had it
The "how to basic" editing in the beginning 👍🏼
Right now I''m at the beginning of setting up my own bike-garage (finally moved into my own) and it looks like your workshop could serve as the prototype and inspiration. Any suggestions or advice you would be ready to share, what's missing in your set-up?
Thumbs up for the go-cart!
Love the frame shape
You make it look so easy...
fuck yes dude this is by far the best project you have taken on. this will be badass
QQ
Can you post frame measurements? thank you for this build!
As someone who races proper shifter karts I would suggest adding caster to your kingpins otherwise you're just going to have a mile of understeer with those tires.
you are a crafty little guy!
Tape measures? We don't need no stinking tape measures!😆
idk how u made that chassis but you did a hella good job
Very nice build. Can you please give me some information about pipe size and wall thickness. Thanks
Awsome work mate, great job your doing, proves no exspensive tools are needed at times
You place looks like Georgia, GA Mountains here. Great project!
love the video by chance do you have measurements of the frame . would really like to build one thanks
Hello, I want to know the dimensions of the chassis (or chassis). Please anyone knows. Please provide me with information about karting.
Hmmmm...i think you need a turbo to increase the speed of the cart, Plus you need a cool exhaust to make your cart sound cool, no need to buy one, liked the vid 👍👍👍

skin cancer entered the chat
People always got something negative to say but don't be doing shit they self i like your vids keep it up
I Love this Gocart
Can you post the Dimensions of the Frame pls?
U can also still keep the bike frame and if u ever wanted to ride it its only going to take you minutes to put it all together
This is a really cool build man.

5:58 that is awesome!!
Mark my words... I will make one. One day minus today😉
Its been 600+ day, are you complete yet build this
Quite clearly he has done this before, he makes it look easy.
Great work. What size tube did you use for the frame ?
At the end of the video, I can just here Ike saying Thank You, Go Power Sports
Wow this is awesome! I actually planned on doing this same sort of project (welding up a shifter kart frame and building a real shifter kart) and I have all the parts for one, except the engine. Once I find a cheap engine for it, I'll be starting on this project to!
Ronaldo
Merci j'ai telecharger ton vidéo
just buy kawasaki 150cc 2Stroke Engine.. they are cheap,Reliable, and blazing fast.. trust me.
you should buy a liffan 150cc 4stroke engine and it has a 5 speed transmission!! really cheap!!
I'll sell you a VFR750 engine...
try grinding the ends of your pipe to a curve so when you butt them against each other it makes alot stronger joint and looks better also when you want to finish it
hey my man, where do you get your pipe at for building frames?
Good performance!!! Perfect talented!
Cool video, I need a garage asap
It would have been a great idea to slugs those tubes for added strength and safety.
That thing is gonna be fun !!!
Hope you don't come to regret not beveling those tube welds bro, nice job, it's just that those karts have need of one break like the welds on the steering bolts to ruin your whole week and it one of those tube welds goes out while you are going down the road, it can pitch you head over butt, as I've seen it with a yz250 at about 66 mph, was not purty.

Lonewolf3165 im 100% certain he bent/warped the frame by bouncing on it like he did...the actual right side front (left in the video). No bueano
Good job man!wish I could be doing that right now!!
Looks badass can’t wait to hear it rip
Very good yz 85 shifter kart
パイプベンダーと自動溶接機さえ有ればバイクもカートも何でも自由に作れて羨ましい。
Bro this is insane.. onl one thing that goes obligatory, the secuencial shift because the paddle some times gets crazy when the battery is low or simple gets crazy so... i recomend you to have the secuancial one. And of course is a diferent expirence.
Keep it up bro. Love your channel. I learn alot watching you. Im thinking by the end of this year, your going to be a full time youtuber with 200k subs.
Just found your channel and I have been binge watching excellent work and quality video. Cheers keep up the great work.

this is going to be a Sick build!

Yesss man finally this is what I’ve been waiting for 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
Theres no chance in hell that those rear axle bearing mounts will take the force of a shifter around a corner. If you just doing straight line speed runs etc fine but once you turn into a corner with speed, that will be the first thing to go
Really cool watching you progress through the build. I'd be worried about burning my arm on the motor while driving!
Can i suggest you to add front brake disks? For your safety. Even the rear one seems a toy.
Do not weld pipes dull together.
The pipe become brittle next to the weld.
Kart-frames do flex alot.
Therefore the frame will breake next to the weld.
Cool Design 👍
Good build but next one maybe try less cutting and welding on your frame/chassis and use the tube bender more cut and weld where needed itll both be and look better quality just suggestion
Waiting project with 600cc 👌✌
I have a spare 650 engine...
stoked on this build, but won't the engine placement mess with your balance?
I’m really excited to see this come together. Can you tell me what tubing size and wall you used?
Nice vid mate. Its funny you have a dirtbike but dont want to ride around in the rain an mud lol
Nice video! This looks so good already👌 Your builds get more professional every time!
