Dude I just bought this for my 11-year-old daughter and wasn’t sure about it ,, it’s on its way and I was getting nervous but after watching this she’s gonna love it ,, thanks
I have a decked out kt196 with lights and straight pipe exaust and I took out the speed restricting screw so now it goes about 40- 50 mph... It works pretty good and I rolled it once and all that happened was the steering balljoint came off. Easy fix! Despite that some genius put the torque converter on backwards and sore backs from stiff front suspension I am glad I got this and not pugly go kart! Ive had this for 7 months and I am satisfied with my purchase.
@@deepdirtrecords6729 I had to make an adapter for the motor mount, since the mounting holes on 420 and 440s are different width from the 196 and 212 engines, and it wasn't necessary but we had to machine a longer driven shaft for the driven side of the torque converter, and aside from that we only had to get a 40 series tav and wire it all up, if you're looking for minimum modification possible I'd just go for a fully built 212 or 225
Make sure not to use a impact on the wheel nut. Usually there is bearings on either side of the axle and it over tighten them is will wreck them. Hence the cotter pin. I would tighten until there is some slight resistance turning the wheel then back off on notch. Or just lightly tighten like Red Beard did. Looser is almost better. I usually just hand tighten mine.
It's a splined shaft with a shoulder. The bearings won't be affected by overtightening the nut. But there's no need to go more than 1/4 turn past snug. The cotter pin holds the castle nut in place.
Awesome. Remember on the last video how we were discussing flying drones and getting aerial footage I'm going to be posting footage of my hometown Jacksonville Alabama where the tornadoes came through soon.
Love your stuff bud. Mainly your builds because you do like I do. Off the cuff. Hell with sketchup. My intent though is to build a big boy toy, more of a dune buggy than a gocart. But I never fabricated before which is why I enjoy watching you so much.
Anyone buying for there children..this is an awesome gokart bought it a week before covid19 lockdown...we have 5 acres...kids are running the hell out of it...change your oil after 5 hours..just tweaked govenor to go a little faster... but I give it 5 stars....my kids love it!!!!
@5:30 as a welder I'm like "Damn! Look at all that angle iron! Score!!" 🤣🤣🤣 thank you for the review! I'm gonna pick one up next week for the kids! Super excited!!
I bought the same go kart at Walmart after Christmas for 50 % off down in SW Florida and did some carb adjustments and man this this is bad ass for $550 Bucks Lol
My little brother had one and i didn't hesitate to jump in and im 320lbs. With my nephew who was probably 70 to 80lbs at the time, with removal of the throttle screw, plenty of power.
So your work bench in the backround.... Did you used to work for a Ford Dealership? I have the -same- thing that was an old Display system from before they remodeled our store like 5 years ago and I turned it into a work bench too.. I like what you did with it!
My gfs son has one like that and he loves it. Rides it all the time at the woods behind our house. And go trail riding with me and gf. And his older siblings who have bigger ones. We ride in the racer. Which is really fast top speed is 75. But has low gear for trail riding. The gf loves the stereo on it.
I just got my son one of these for his birthday and its brand spanking new and only paid $100 for it. They said it had less than an hour of use. They're a great little gocart.
Got my daughter one this year for Christmas from tractor supply. Broke 10 min into her first ride. Torque converter primary drive somehow flew apart. Took the cover off and and the bolt, weight with springs, and part of pulley just fell out onto the ground
I have the coleman kt 100, had a 96cc on it, I put a 208cc on it, extented the frame by 4 inches, no torque converter though, it rips. Got it up to 45mph on flats.
Hey Red Beard, want something different to think about? Ever think of using an air handler (from a HVAC) to make a hover craft? They spin so easily, you could use a small engine to power it and put a separate engine/prop/rudder for directional propulsion.
I had one of those two problems the steering was squirrely at top end if you were on the road and it had to chain drives on it which was weird one of the chains was not adjustable when it got loose. It didn't leave you room to put a bigger sprocket on it either.
You should find an old rzr 800cc motor and build a buggy with a 4 wheeler suspension but wider for the kids who want to do more than ride around in their yard but don’t have the money for a rzr or a four wheeler just thought i would throw this idea out there. I love your videos and keep up the good work.
Mines having a lot of clutch problems front right ball joint snapped 2 and seat broke and wears out way to fast my torque converter just shot off today not gonna call it junk but it’s disappointing how many problems I’ve had
Dig the buggy brother it reminds me of the trailmaster version like that . We got my daughter The Tao Tao 125 Jeep and that things a kick in the shorts. We also have a trailmaster 150 xrs with the exhaust and intake done on it that hauls buttox.its a lot like your Zircon . Anyways awesome job as usual bud . By the way Lonnie’s “ bunny hops” over the driveway weren’t much more than yours bro . LOL
Hey red beard I found an old Baja blaster bb65. I think pep boys use to sell it. Have you heard of it? If so what do think? I have the predator 6.5, cvt, performance kit, and new front shocks. It’s a blast!
I just picked up one from Walmart for $347 including tax! Lol what a great little kart. Did you make a video of yours moded yet? I’d like to get it quicker maybe throw that predator 420cc on it.
Good morning, I love your reviews. Thank you for taking time to make these videos. Quick question: we’re thinking of getting the KT196 for our son, but before we order, we’d like to know the difference between the KT196 and CK196? Also, is the RTI200 essentially the same as the CK196 only with camo instead of red accents? Thx 🙏🏼
Hey Red Beard I have two Coleman gokarts one of them is my son,it goes around 42mph the other one I change the motor to a 8.0 and the sprocket to 48 tooth I just got done putting it together I just got to take it for a test run. I got all my parts from go power sports
Carlos Muniz thanks I’ll give that a try, looks like they sell a kit for it online and I’ll get those springs for it as well. What size jetts did you go with? .036 or .037? I got a sweet deal on it at Walmart so I have plenty of room for mods and still be a budget kart 😎
have you ever left the gov on and just zip tied the gov spring till you get the right gov speed? i worked at a go kart track for yrs and that how we did it. that is how i did it on my 16 hp vanguard golf cart too .
I’ve rolled this things, tipped them, ran into trees and cars. 😅 they sure are tough I even ramped a 4 foot sand pile which as a result I fractured a rib so I wouldn’t suggest that. 🤣
It's a neat package...but that open roll cage, that's cheese against a roll, heck, if it swings with enough force over to the size it might bend the whole front upper section over the passengers. It needs a brace across the top.
Loving the video's dude keep up the hard work! I noticed those racing tires you had behind you in the closing scene looked full of air. You're best to store those tires deflated as too not ruin the profile. They also look heavily inflated, what pressure do you run them?
I love this go kart next week my pawpaw is giving me a 2 seater go kart
What type or brand is it and the cc on it?
Kevin Dickerson yes
How much did it cost?
Yo can get it on Amazon
Del Caudill they cost around $1,500
That is a nice design. It looks to have great mod potential.
Whats the wieght limit
400Lbs
I was 9 years old when I first drove my go-kart. It's just heaven to me. I feel like flying, I could not describe the feelings.
The great thing about this go-kart is they send you enough metal to build another one with the frame for the Box
Thats an awesome little kart! Now stick the 670 on it!
They did all that work on the Duromax 7hp. They could have done that
Got one for my daughter. I've been looking to try and build it up and put some lights on it. Can't wait to wait what you guys do to it!!!
Dude I just bought this for my 11-year-old daughter and wasn’t sure about it ,, it’s on its way and I was getting nervous but after watching this she’s gonna love it ,, thanks
Sorry did you say 11?
Had a issue with gopowersports. Called the boss & told him the issue, straightened everything out no problems. Very impressed with the company
I’m a big guy(250) but me and my boy are all over town in our little Coleman. I’m teaching him to drive it before I start building it!

Greetings from Rainbow City, the tornado missed us by a couple of miles, hope you didn't get too much damage.
That reminds me of the go kart I had as a kid, but so underpowered. Although it could be used as a beginner.
Bought one and I can't wait to assemble it when it gets here
How much is it
@@yovisc9231 1500$
@@hkoutdoors3009 wait wat I get the money?

Finally a good use for all the bed frames 😂😂😂
Even though this is an old video, I still love how he put this together.
I imagine with a change in suspension, it will clear the whole driveway.
Don’t get carried away, I bent the front spindles on mine from turning at high speed, I’ve nearly rattled every bolt lose on it
Jacobsen1450 same its made shit
Build-off between y'all and carsandcameras
Great video, will buy this for my sons!!!
Very good show. One word to describe the review: THOROUGH -- the setup, driven by children, and then by adults.👍
Make a go kart out of the frame the go kart came in
Miller Built ur a fucking genius
Dig the Big Brain on Miller.
Honestly.... yes
Too flimsy
And hopefully put a 670cc engine with a straight piped exhaust and tuned up carb.

Set it on fire! Flame test...!
If it don't survive the flame test then it is not worthy enough for them to ride because something tells me it's going to get set on fire a lot.
Just got one, wish I put oil in it before I installed the seat.
Lol I just got for my boys and did the same thing 😅
Same lol
Honestly guys, that thing is RAD!!!!
Great video. Been debating this for my son and your review helped me make my decision. Thanks.
I thought that was you in the blue jacket during the two person demo and I was like oh okay it's not that small, then I realized it was a kid haha
The cage makes a great shelf
I bought the same go kart at Walmart after Christmas for 50 % off down in SW Florida and did some carb adjustments and man this this is bad ass for $550 Bucks Lol
I am watching this vid with a smile as big as a Cheshire cat
If you do a motor swap on this make a kart with a combination of a Coleman crate and the Colman motor

@ Pecos where did u get it from ??
It’s 1.6k at tractor supply in 2021 so I doubt that 😂
@@zerksy He probably got it off a crackhead who stole it from someone. No way you would get one of these for less than a Grand.
I just got a electric dirtbike it’s so fun now I am planning on buying one of these and maybe upgrade
I can't believe how much better this thing looks than mine does!!!
My dad is getting me one of these except it's off of Craigslist and there's only one minor problem with it that doesn't really affect anything
I saw one of these at tractor supply today and thought it was the cutest thing.
Next Go-cart build ! GSXR 1000 Go-cart swap !
Nathan Ratliff hgghhj I u
Cameron Huskins what ?
Got my daughter one this year for Christmas from tractor supply. Broke 10 min into her first ride. Torque converter primary drive somehow flew apart. Took the cover off and and the bolt, weight with springs, and part of pulley just fell out onto the ground
My 4 year old has the same kart, but just the older version it's the camo themed colors...
Black beard be at all the new unveiling of the Coleman
I have the coleman kt 100, had a 96cc on it, I put a 208cc on it, extented the frame by 4 inches, no torque converter though, it rips. Got it up to 45mph on flats.
Rett Bull What is KT100?
Ive been avoiding these but maybe ill reconsider. This video makes it seem like a decent little ride.
Cant wait to get one for my kids.

DOUBLE CAUTION JUMP! DOUBLE CAUTION JUMP!
Broke both lower ball joints from the LCAs, broke both front shocks and also the steering spherical ends.
What kind of weight are you putting on it ? We're you jumping it or just riding when the breaks happened.
Good ol classic review and test
Ford 289 V8 gocart :D
How do you remove the governor to make it go faster?

Can you list out the performance parts you get.
you could build a off road trailer out of the metal from the go-cart box.
Put windshields wipers on it for raining day drives lol
my neighbors have one and it is fun to drive.

A reasonable engine would be a 301/270
It killed me when he was coming back from the road
Yea its super slow
I wonder if Coleman delivers to Mexico🤔🤔 because I want to purchase 2 of those go carts. Used to have one as a kid, best memories made.
benjamin pazrosas I had one too and I agree. I made allot of memories on that. They where really fun.
benjamin pazrosas Where I live they sell them at walmart
i live in mexico btw (gdl)
I had mine since 2016

Carlos Muniz what did you have to do to get it to 42mph? Does it still have the same low end torque?
josh maier I bypass the governor and jetted the carb and18pound valve springs ,ngk spark plug, and took off the basket for less weight
josh maier and header pipe
josh maier It has pretty good torque because I weight 210 and it moves fast
Carlos Muniz thanks I’ll give that a try, looks like they sell a kit for it online and I’ll get those springs for it as well. What size jetts did you go with? .036 or .037?

Straight from China, nice!
i have the same one ive hade it for six years
The first day I got mine drenched in mud lol 😂
Need to find some new trails lol
Hey what did you zip tie to get it to go faster, also how do you remove the governor on this model??
there's a spring under the gas tank. when you push the gas pedal it pulls on that spring. he zip tied that spring so that it would go faster.
There should actually be a screw on the throttle. Loosen it as much as you want or take it completely out and throw it away.
have you ever left the gov on and just zip tied the gov spring till you get the right gov speed? i worked at a go kart track for yrs and that how we did it. that is how i did it on my 16 hp vanguard golf cart too .
Great video. As cut and dry as it gets👍

I flipped on a week ago going to fast around a pavement curve and the roll cage landed on my knee luckily no Brocken bones just cause a hematoma
