Us vs. the WORST Go Kart Ever Made | Will our Twin Engine Go Kart Survive a Full Send?

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 22 ม.ค. 2023
- Our twin engine go kart is a monstrosity! We mated two built Honda clone engines to a 5 speed 4 wheeler transmission with reverse, high/low, and 4WD, and it vibrates so badly that we can't keep it running! The original engine/transmission was balanced to minimize vibration, and when we cut the jug and rod out of the crankshaft and then mounted two Honda clones on the transmission, it became a huge mess of vibration. This go kart throws set screws, keys, master links, and chains like nobody's business.
Thanks for Watching!

Ike getting blasted by mud at the end made it all worth it😂
you guys should put a roof and a windshield for the mud
love the vids keep it up guys.
I like to see this kart back soon fix the problem's then what see how much mud you can get on you
What does everyone think what the top speed gone to be?
Bryce
I laughed so hard, it made my tummy hurt! 🤣
Some of your best content yet. Why not make it a regular segment?
Someone made a valid point about the engine you took the piston out of won't be balanced on the crank and I think that's probably where most of the vibrations are coming from more than engine's being out of sync. I thought about one way bearings on both gears from the engines so they aren't fighting each other also. I would do that and balance the crank on the bottom end of the other engine and it should purr like a kitten afterwards 👍❤️💛💚
That's exactly what's wrong here. I'm a bit surprised they don't know why crankshafts have counter weights on them.
yeah thats what i commented for this and the last build they did
That's what I posted in the first vid.
They have a new to them lathe, set Charles free to make a replacement straight shaft for the crank.
@@scrumpyb5859 they broke the lathe I think.👍
That was hands down THE GREATEST hit lap of the year!!
I have never laughed so hard at one of your videos before. Thanks Ike for being the test driver. 😁
Ah yes, the eloquence of absolute silence there at the end....sometimes silence says more than words ever could. But I gotta say, you guys sure (must) love your work. And I'm just thankful that I don't have to do this in order to enjoy it! Thanks for lettin' us tag along!
I've been watching you guys for a while and I think this series has been your best. Yes it's been kicking your butts, but it's been really entertaining. I'm hoping to see this kart again soon. 🤞✌️
Lmao i haven’t laughed like that in awhile. Ike said don’t worry about me you need to worry about yourself. So Charles did just that!! Ike took it like a champ. I didn’t see that coming. Lol
Absolutely love how real you guys still are. Just doing stuff the three of you like to do. Nothing fake like most of the video's on youtube. Always a good day when new parts of a project are uploaded!
Hey Ike, if those changes do not have o rings, I have an old trick for you. When we raced back in the 70's and used non o ring chains, we put the chain in a pan with bearing grease and heated it 'till the grease became thin enough to seep in between the rollers and pins. When the chain and grease cooled down, the grease became viscous again and remained inside the chain where it's needed. It will work on your Ebay chains if non orange and will extend the life of them considerably.
I needed a good laugh today and by golly you came through as always. Charles and Ike really put on a show at the end. Seriously guys I would almost bet the vibrations are coming from the engine that you cut the rod off and removed the piston. Is there any way to put a straight shaft in place of the crankshaft?
I guess the more complex the project the more the problems may arise, but man is that thing cool! Don't give up on it guys!
"Don't worry about me...worry about yourself" 😆 id done the same thing Charles haha i bet Ike will never say those words again 😄
Ike getting blasted by mud was absolutely hilarious AF 😆🤣🤣😆🤣" This mud is really cold " 🤣 " I've got so much grit in my teeth " 😆🤣🤣
Not sure when exactly Charles became a co-host, but he really takes the Cars and Cameras channel to another level. This 3 man squad really works!!! Shout out to the whole team, great work guys
That had me rolling on the floor LMFAO. when Ike was getting pelted by the mud. once you get all the insects chased out of it. then you might have something for sure.
I'm thinking a 420 or even a 670, and then make your own jack shaft to put in place of the old atv engine crankshaft. Just to get that wobble out. And maybe even double chain between the engine and trans. I feel like that would simplify the drive train issues and make it more dependable , as long as that articat trans and axle holds up. But love this series guys. Keep em coming.
Yeah they can run a 440 duromax and actually get a motorcycle 550 sprocket and match up to the stock sprocket on the axle of the kandi kart. Bottom end is a little gutless but it pulls pretty hard top end with the gearing. A separate jackshaft and additional gearing could definitely help with some more of that bottom end grunt.
With the amount of movement we can see on video of the jack shaft I'd put my bets on that being the problem for throwing chains. Shorten that shaft and run duel slipper clutches so you get power from both engines while getting the most out of each one. If the engines where built to exact specs then tieing them together would work but if they were built differently and tied they will fight against each other.
I love it. Really great job guys. I appreciate the subtle misery, and it makes this episode hilarious.
I have never laughed so hard in a long time. Ike, you are the best! Hubby and I really cracked up. Be safe guys!
Plexiglass windshield might be a nice upgrade.
Omg, laughed so hard on this one, sometimes fails can be entertaining. Definitely come back to this project in the future.
😂 Charles , you tha man. Can’t wait to get your autograph. Love the pull ride you took Isaac on. So funny.
That was NO JOKE the MOST I have laughed at video from any channel in a LONG LONG TIME!!
Really sucks the thing fought you guys the whole way but I sure enjoyed watching everything unfold. I look forward to more footage of it in a year or two from now 😆
That 2 stroke off the shifter cart would make that thing a monster
18:40 "Oh no! Not the mud?!" Yes Ike - the mud! Funniest 2 mins of C&Cs I've ever watched! 🤣🤣🤣🤣👏👏👏👏👏
This has so much potential, sticking with it makes great videos, no matter how frustrating it is for you!
Thank you again for the laughter!! I truly needed it today!! Love you guys!!
2:04 If you want that thing to roll in balance you're going to have to negate the counterweights on the blown engine you replaced with the two tillotsons. That's why it's shaking itself to pieces.
You have a lathe now. You can just make a replacement shaft that's a straight line.
Or, hear me out, put a single, good motor on it.
@@Rattus-Norvegicus The vibration is in the transmission they set up. One engine instead of two wont help.
@@TestECull It will cut down on complexity and eliminate failure points. Common sense man.
@@Rattus-Norvegicus The entire point of this build was to end up with a kart that has forward, reverse, neutral, several speeds, manual clutch. Going from two engines to one doesnt really simplify it very much and ditching the gearbox for a cvt and a live axle defeats the purpose of the build.
@@TestECull I didn't say to eliminate the transmission, just one engine. Anyone with experience will tell you, syncing 2 engines is difficult at best, disastrous at worst. They could eliminate the syncing issue and eliminate the jack shaft. Less chains, less keys to fall out. A 420 with the transmission would be perfect for this.
Disaster or not I had a smile and chuckled all the way through. Absolutely love y’all😂CarsandCameras is the best!👏
I have had these days. Tons of respect to all three of you for keeping it light spirited. You three should build a 2 motor cart!
And this is why full face helmets are a good idea lol. Can't wait to see what you guys can turn this into.
The lap at the end. Had me rolling. Thanks guys. I needed that
I love how Charles still has his rancher😄
Ike, thanks for getting that impromptu mud mask. You're discomfort brought lots of laughs!
Awesome! Brilliant Ike. I was so hoping you guys get this "thing" running great. But when Ike went silent after that last mud slingshot, I was on the floor. Sorry buddy, THAT. WAS. CLASSIC.
Keep it up guys, your the best!
This Old Man laughing again 🤣. Guys don't give up. You can get it running. Love y'all 🛵🧔💝💝💝
BECAUSE of this episode, and many others. I will watch ALL others. LMAO, i laughed so hard at Ike being pulled around the Grand Prixses that i had to go back and watch it to see the ending like twice.... Comedy, skill-ish, entertaining as heck, and one hell of an effort to make a lap! FREAKING love it!
I have 3 suggestions
1: invest in a good x-ring motorcycle chain, #420 is what I use. They may be $40, but it's worth it because they won't break so easy.
2: definitely make sure that jackshaft is straight and has enough bearing support. Any kind of warp in a jackshaft that long will cause you to throw chains every time. Trust me on this one, I run an 8 speed motorized bicycle and I have to get the chain alignment exactly right or else one binds with another as I shift, or I throw either my 1/2x1/8 or my #420 chains. It's not fun getting slapped in the leg by a chain rolling at 4300rpm.
3: no matter what happens, persevere. You guys have always had a knack for these things, and you just keep getting better. Keep up the good work boys, I'm able to live vicariously through your projects.
The last 5 minutes of this video were some of the funniest you guys have ever put out!
Ending was hilarious. I know you guys are struggling with this build but I love watching it
Dudes I have not laugh so much in my life. every time a chain broke are something went wrong the look on Ikes face was great. Then Charlies pulling Lke around the hot lap and throwing mud on him was the best part of the video.
Best part was Ike with the mud i was lmao the hole time just straight dyeing lol. plzzz keep working on this one. been watching yall from the beginning. love watching yall.
By far the hardest I’ve laughed at a CarsandCameras video.
The end made the video so much better. I was laughing my a$$ off!!! 🤣🤣🤣
In life there is always a test before a promotion. Boys keep moving forward. The reward will be monumental
Ike you did tell him not to worry about you and worry about himself! 🤣 looks like a great time.
The three of you guys sort of remind me of Top Gear, North Carolina Edition. Ike's hollering is the Richard Hammond of the South. What a fun episode!
Glad to see you guys are still making videos! I started watching when my dad bought me a Motovox mbx10 for Christmas when I was 10 :)
Can't wait to see more of the dragster!
Ike… I’ve never seen another soul whistle like I whistle!!! The lip grab and screaming eagle! That’s awesome
This is my new favorite video! Ike asked for the hot lap and got cooled off with the mud. I was lmao . I would like to see it finished. Maybe put the snowmobile engine on it.
I'm fairly certain you could get a 4 banger to fit in the same space as those 2 thumpers. or a v twin, or a dirtbike thumper or a 2 cylinder or a 3 cylinder. all would work way better than trying to link 2 small engines.
I think part of the fun of this channel is they always make weird ideas like this work. Sure they could go the easy route that everyone else has done and just stick a regular engine in there, but how many people out there have linked 2 engines to a cobbled together transmission and made it work? Not many.
Ike--Everything was fine until then.. I'm dying guys. Best video in a while. Keep up the good work. Love seeing you guys kidding around
It is an awesome idea. I think it needs a single big block though. The twins are neat, but im a believer in the KISS mentality. Keep kicking butt guys!
That's why i love this channel. That was a good laugh.
That tow at the end was soooooo bloody funny. Ha ha
That last bit was GOLD!
I don't know why, but I can't get enough of you guys getting covered in mud lmao.
My wife was wondering what I was laughing about it was the mud bath Charles was giving Ike 😂
Man…I’m down right belly roll laughing at the towed hot lap!! That was great!😂😂😂😂
Oh man my stomach hurts🤣
Poor Ike got all the mud! Great video guys!
I havent laughed so hard on any of yaws prior videos... sorry Ike, those mud showers were HILARIOUS
LMAO so hard when Ike was covered with mud… 👍🏻👍🏻 what a guy their to take one for the team…
Charles saying it wasn't Isaac's fault about the shifter 😂 Isaac was just slamming it up and down because it wouldn't shift...those semi auto trans you might get 1gear without moving but you need to at least rock it back and forth to shift it multiple gears when not running...I love you guys but it amazes me how little you actually know about most small engines
The project that just keeps on giving............fits!
Ike getting pelted by giant mud clods looked a little scary. but he weathed it pretty good.
That kart is an exercise in aggravation.
best ending to any CandC video bar none..... my stomachs muscles are aching
I haven't laughed that hard in a while. Thanks boys.
Charles is so funny. He confused himself with the whole 180 out comment.. good stuff. Lol
Definitely the funniest video I have seen from you all! Keep up the great content!
That was the funniest thing I've seen this year sofar great job guy's (that mud is cold) 🤣 🤣
SO funny, 'tow torture' could be a great forfeit in a challenge 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Excellent video guys.....best towjob EVER....great content, cam shots,and editing !!!....keep the gears in your head turning Issac.....you'll get it yet !@
Told ya clutches would work better, and because ya have gears it doesn't affect power.
This build has blown me away and opend up a world of possibilities.
Absolutely love your content!
'Dont worry bout me, look after yoursel!' Best lap ever, proper belly hurting laughing out loud
Please dont chunk it in pond! If you modify the crank on that bottom engine so its balanced it should get rid of most of the rattles and it would be an awesome go-kart! Im loving this series and Im counting on seeing it back on the channel soon. This build has sooo much potential!
Oh.... my... gosh. I haven't laughed that hard in a looooong time! 🤣🤣🤣
I haven’t cried so much Of laughter for a long time this made my day 😂
I did the same thing with a Honda 90 engine when I was 13 y.o. in the mid 70s using a 580 West Bend to drive it. I took the Honda crankshaft to a machinist in town and he made me a straight shaft out of cold roll steel to get rid of the vibration. I mounted the Tecumseh above the Honda transmission direct drive With mounts I fabricated out of mostly bed rails using an old Forney stick welder and started it with the kick starter. Only kick start three speed West Bend powered Rupp Grand Prix in existence at the time as far as I knew. I got it taken away from me and sold after the chief of police clocked me at 90 leaving city limits. Now I'm 60 and playing with go karts and minibikes again 😂🤣.. Keep up the interesting builds fellas. Maybe a big block driving an atv transmission in a golf cart 🤣
Don’t worry bout me worry bout yourself, OMG put it in 4 wheel drive , why is it not in 4 wheel drive 😂😂😂🤙🏼, that was awesome Ike looks like he just got done running a 24 hour Baja lol😂🤙🏼
Good Drive n ride IKE!! LOL grit n stuff flavoring - LOL !!!!
i swear i never laughed so hard that last bit was the funniest crap ever! thank yall!!!
Man ike is just one the best humans in existence. Blasted with mud .....what was our time? Lmao love it.
1st of all, getting the 2 engines synced is HARD.
2nd, I'm sure the vibration is due to the input shaft on the trans being a crankshaft that is counterweighted for the rob and piston.
On a totally different note, you guys have messed around with the big block engines (301, 420, etc) lately. With your additional experience, you could probably built a SWEET moon tune motor.
Love this little blue dune buggy.
You guys should get some helmet mount / headset Bluetooth radios for communication or waterproof 2 way radios for breakdowns. 👍👍
Keep up the great work
I'm not sure how far apart
I got to say that was hilarious on the hot lap with poor Ike ! I feel for you brother I know a mouth full of mud is no fun😵💫Been there done that great video though and I know you guys will get this thing figured out. Can’t wait to see it again.👍🏼🤣🤩❤️
Been watching your channel for 6 years now and this is probably the most funny video I’ve ever seen you make😂😂😂😂😂
You guys it maybe the biggest lemon you have.
But Charles gave its christening o I ment Isaac o whatever.
It’s so good to see Isaac having that Isaac face of him.
It’s priceless.
Thank you Charles for being so Charles.
Lol 😂
You need to turn a shaft to replace the crank or balance it. The chain coupling is probably throwing so much shock through everything too.
Awesome video at the end lol, straight up mud pit lol
That was awesome and so funny Ike you had me crying 😆
"Something that might outperform the ducarti."
😳 those are some scary words
I feel like I’ve watch y’all forever I’m also from North Carolina and just wanted to say thank you for continuing making content I love every video ❤❤❤
Hope you guys do finish it at a later date don't quit its a great project ya just have to nut it out like you always do 👍
that lasp lap was the best thing ive ever seen
I noticed some flex between the engines and the jackshaft. that's why you are throwing chains. please don't give up on this project it's awesome and something I've been wanting to do for a few years.
By far the most entertaining video I've seen in years
turning Ike into a mud pie... priceless!
