Abandoned Race Kart Revival, Hi Power Engine Swap + Thrash!

  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 3 ก.ย. 2019
  • Cheap racing go karts! One of our top comments throughout the years has been "where can I buy a cheap go kart?" well, Virginia International Raceway's go kart track has a ton they want to sell. Today, we're picking the best looking racing chassis, taking the Honda GX270 off, and swapping on our 20+ horsepower 10,000 RPM Tillotson 212cc engine to see if we can beat their new rental karts around the track. Awesome, awesome day!
    Thanks for Watching!

      They can be used on gx200 too. Most indoor kart centres run them here. Indestructable clutches basicly. They outlast 4 engines easy before a rebuild is needed.

      supertedogpriken I’d rather see a 2 stroke small bore twin snowmobile motor on a kart. That being said, these guys are likely not capable of properly jetting a sled engine let alone using anything but a pos go powersports cvt setup.
      A 77 Rotax type 354 would be a monster of properly set up on a kart.

    • @supertedogpriken
      @supertedogpriken 4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      @@ROTAXD when they went to a big go kart/ mini bike meet some months ago, they tried a go kart with a snowmobile engine in it. And right after they tested it both sat in there car over hyped and full of adrenaline and promised us that they where going to do a snowmobile engine build..... But i kinda lost faith in that. been commenting on almost every video since then about a snowmobile engine go kart but NOTHING has happened..... Any Rotax engine would be amazing on a go kart(long travel suspension buggy) Dont care if it is not the biggest or the fastest engine. Just do a 2 stroke build.

    • @rickfeith6372
      @rickfeith6372 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I think a Banshee engine would be superior. Much smaller pistons to retqin that signature 2 stroke power curve. The big block one lung 2 strokes are definitely more linear...which isn't a bad thing, but they don't wind out as much. They also don't require as much shifting, you can just stick it in 3rd and tractor out of the turns on torque alone.
      A Banshee twin on the other hand still has that no/go powerband, and they can make triple digit power with a strokey +4 mil crank. Also has the benefit of a 6 speed gearbox.
      Either way would be just flat out gnarly though, I guess it all comes down to driving style and preference. The main issue with karts of this power is grip anyway, so getting the power to hook might be difficult. I guarantee even a bone stock 250 smoker from an older motocross bike would be a handful.

    I still don’t get who puts the time/energy in to “dislike” a video, any video. Just-don’t-like-it. “Dislike” is the PC version of “hate”. Stop watching a channel if you feel the urge to ever hit the “dislike” button. Sheesh. These guys are TH-cam gold, for those that are into their content, or those wanting to get into the same hobby. Besides that, they are just nice people.
