this is literally the type of video I have been looking for for about 2 days now. just a simple wooden go cart but not that simple. something I could make at home. I have no metal working tools so wood is the material I can use. I'm only 14 but I still really want to build something like this. thank you for making this video and keep up the good work. I'm surprised you don't have more subscribers.
Vet Ej yeah it went pretty well, I made my own steering column different to the video, I have high hopes for all the people who want to make this. It’s really simple and fun to make and a great finishing build to ride around on. Good luck👍
Usernamehere Nice! How fast did it go and how did you do the steering column? And do you have any tips for me before building the go kart. Lots of questions btw lmao
this is literally perfect. this has been a ongoing project from summer 2 years ago, couldn't afford metal with alounce money lol. thank you. going to the store in a few hours. I'm only 14 so I'm going to need a ride there, hopefully not when I build this.
I am going to make this type of speering that you have for your go kart, i have been trying to make steering for mine but it didnt work, but now i see yours and i realize i could make it as well! I have evrrything i need to make it too, and all the space!
Jason, steering looks ingenious but you say the steering didn't work too well - how did you / would you perfect it? Really would appreciate a reply as it's a great looking kart. Thanks.
@@jasonolbinski9333 looks like there'd be some delay between when you start steering and when the car does with how loose those metal hoops are on the eyelet screw. Maybe a thicker screw in place of the eyelet, or a bushing and metal washer
I’m using a predator 212 cc engine and it worked honestly way better than I expected. Top speed is like 50 miles an hour when you’re going uphill you can go around like 30 miles an hour. The acceleration is a little slow but it gets up to speed very quickly.
Great job! Would love to see a material list if you had one.
People underestimate the strength of wood
Exactly
@@jasonolbinski9333 1 inch thick plywood does real good for the floor of my wooden go kart. By the way i like your kart.
Planes were made from wood years ago even the engine was wood.
@@murph23b40 thanks
@@papasslipper564 What? The engine? 🤔
Awesome is right! A great deal of thought and planning went into the making of this kart. Excellent craftsmanship Jason. Well done! Andy 🇨🇦
I’m building a go kart out of wood myself was looking for a steering system and I think this is an awesome design. thanks this helped a lot!
Same
How did it go
@@jacobramirez4894 they are still working on it
That’s Freaken legit awesome. When I was 11, I remember having help from my neighbor building a go kart like that.
I am 11 right now and O plan to build one too!
I'm 12 and I'm planning on this lmao
I'm 16 n im gettin a job jus to so somethin like this lmao
Impressive build!
Thanks for the awesome video! I plan to build a gravity powered version and this is a great design starter.
great job would love a plan
Thanks for showing! I am trying to build a go kart and I can't weld so this is very handy! I subbed!!!
Thank you man for the pointers I build it something like the same but little different thank slot for everything inspired by u
This is sick 🔥🔥🔥
9:00 I love that wooden resonance . . . This is an awesome build! Thanks for sharing this!
CrowdSurfingGeezer thanks!
Sensacional. Parabéns!
And how was the steering so smooth what did you put in it to make it so smooth by the way very good job 🎉🎉
How exactly did you bolt the pedals onto the frame?
Thank you so much this works great
Cool
thats awesome looking gokart. several people asked parts. can you list the parts please
wonderful! Jason
Thanks
@@jasonolbinski9333 welcome, good stuff!
Very cool! Did you apply any adhesive? That's the first thing that came to mind when coming to mind of building a wood GoKart.
No glue at all

Usernamehere Thanks and good luck. The front steering didn’t work the greatest
Have you done it? I’m also 14 years old and I want to make a go kart. How did it went for you?????

What is total length and width of axels?
very good, very good. it gives me more inspiration towards building my wood mini snowmobile.
do you have a materials list? I want to build something like this with my dad.
I don’t have a dad

same story here
i had those same front wheels from harbor freight they will come apart break if you use on street .. almost got hurt..

It is complete and works great!
I will make a video of it on my 2nd channel and link it here if you want to see it

The steering worked but was hard and sloppy, not sure what would have e made it better.
@@jasonolbinski9333 Sorry to hear that, it looks so good. Thanks for the quick reply. I doubt I'll be able to improve on the steering. Oh well!

what engine is on that\
/// you think a honda gx120 4 hp engine would be good enough tot go fast?

Nice work bro
People under estimate the strength of wood . GREAT JOB BY T.HE WAY...
Thanks
That’s really creative.Great job
Sam’s Garage thanks
@@jasonolbinski9333 can you tell me all the parts you need for this?
What rear axle and wheels do you have?
Don’t remember I bought them online
What type of wood did you use?
Home Depot wood
Can you please share the dimensions of you gokart bro
How much did the project cost? (Rough estimate)
❤❤❤
Hey, how did you get around using a differential?
Sebastian I didn’t, it didn’t turn very well.
Thats called a Tie Rod
Slick
Which wood did you used?
nice
Thanks
What size motor is it
Predator 212
"not gonna do that because i care about my life" LMAO
On the nuts coming loose situation…
Nail polish makes for a poor man’s locktite
can u build this with lawn mower engine?
Maybe, the axle would have to be horizontal
@@jasonolbinski9333 you think i could make it horizontal?
Tutorial plis
I made the exact same one he did we had to eyeball and make our own measurements out of everything, but it turned out the same
gratcar
have you got scheme for this?
Barkis scheme?
@@jasonolbinski9333 pattern
Bad Piggies
Wonder what my 4 hp Briggs could do on this
You made it good...but you didn't taught the viewers how to make it...
Cool
