We bought the worst go kart on the internet and made it better! Watch the first video in this go kart build series here • We Found A Go Kart Wit...
We upgraded this crazy go kart with the new Predator 212cc GHOST Kart Racing Engine from Harbor Freight and it is awesome! We also got the racing engine accessory kit and it saved us a lot of time sourcing parts for this go kart build. This is a bad go kart so of course we had the worst go kart crash ever.

First video here if you want to see the trampoline springs in action 😂 th-cam.com/video/UJE-evS_NgM/w-d-xo.html
THOSE BIG BACK TIRES ARE WAAAAAAAAAYY! TO TALL IN A GEARING SENCE FOR THAT TINY MOTOR! LOL THE ENGINE SPROKET WILL NEED TO SPIN 10 TIMES TO ROTATE THAT DRIVE WHEEL ONCE!!! LOL PUT A SMALLER TIRE!! LOL COOL VIDEO GBYAA!!!!!!!!!!!!
The previous reply was brought to you by CAPSLOCK, Autopilot for COOL since 1968.
I like toast
Hell yeah a wholeass Ground Score Ice video. That guy is such ray of sunshine.
I don't want to leave out Mr Mustache Slims.
They feel like live in the shire. Hobbits are so chill.
@@UmmmmmmmWhat 😆
Those tires look great! It would look even better if they were put on in the right direction 😂
But on tarmac it will direct the water to the center thus causing it to hydroplane which just may give it more top speed. Not to be confused with terminal velocity, where it will get up to 121mph off a cliff.
i legit noticed straight away but it does look real goofy!
I was thinking the same thing as soon as they put it on 😅
Haha
It's less drag that way around though
The tires on backwards had me laughing the whole time 🤣 great video loved it! can't wait for more to come and get to see how you guys grow in building crazy projects...
I was thinking the same, great first name by the way
Race tires do have a forwards/backwards orientation…
thats all i could think of during the entire video
He dry fit the clutch on backwards at first also. I was wondering what the idea there was, or maybe just messing with us.
As soon as I saw the wheel diameter I had a feeling that the gearing would be off somewhat but I knew you'd soon work it out!
I was thinking the same.
look at the size of the axle sprocket lol with those tires....it needs a torque converter and smaller normal sprocket
It wasn't a good gokart for an adult to race around in but it was pretty cool being made of scrap parts.
That is true
Wouldn’t be a grind hard build without having to redo everything 😂
Great job!! Been looking forward to seeing the rat rod go cart reappear! Just slap a torque converter on it and you’re done! Then you have a CVT to provide ALL the gear ratios!
Can we all just agree that this car thing is called the "Swindler"
so you’re telling me there wasn’t a single “premium” said during all these time lapses?! 😂
these two are dangerous when left alone
The best part of starting with the worst is no matter what it gets better, at least worst came in a cool shell.
Good job! Although the milling with drill bits was killing me 😬
on the lathe
@@joshc1590 😂 indeed
What killed me is putting the tires on backwards
Hello from Russia. As you shoot a great video, I watch every video of yours with pleasure. thanks to you, I am improving my skills in making my own projects. thank you very much. with love from russia
привет из россии. какжытвы класно снимаете видео, я смотрю с удовольствием каждое ваше видео. благодоря вам я повышаю свое мастерство в изготовлении собственных проектов. спасибо вам большое. с любовью из росии
"We didn't blow anything up, and we caught some spiders on fire..." Seems like solid logic to me! 🤣
really nice to see you guys playing with all the tools in the workshop, its really cool that you also film the learning curve, Ethan is really gifted, but you guys rock also!
Exactly. Too many people giving Will a hard time over tyres etc. These blokes are keen as and the best way to learn is by making mistakes. Well done Steven on your first metal experience. Go hard. Grind hard. All you other tossers, stay in ya lane.
Perfectly clear UFO footage right at 20:27. Even a drone could see it.
That things got Mo'tential son! Needs that GHPC touch
I love these videos so much where it's just the will and the legend of a camera guy doing dumb stuff😂
Been waiting a bit for this video, watched the livestream on tiktok a while back😂
No triangulation of the new rear frame section is a...bold choice.
The look of this is awesome great job guys. Now to convince Ethan an Edwin in building V2.0 with long travel suspension an more powa
Tires are on backwards hehe. Awesome job tho! Be safe guys :)
Not just this time, but I seen many other videos like this, and tires like that. THEY ARE ALWAYS ON BACKWARDS. Seriously common sense tells you what way the tread SHOULD BE FACING.
They probably do it on purpose for us to be triggered over.
not like it really matters. Yes it maybe common sense but it doesn't do anything that makes it important
@@ThirstyFoe00 how is directional tread not important lol.
@@ThirstyFoe00 Not at low speeds anyways lol
That's a hood ornament that would make Rolls Royce jealous
Buy the following from Go Power Sports or any other reputable kart parts dealer: 30 Series Torque Converter Kit w/ #40/420 idler pinion, #40/420 split sprocket (54-tooth plus with those rear tires you are using), and a hydraulic rear disc brake kit. Yeah, you'll have to redesign the rear to accommodate a jackshaft, but the performance gains are well worth the work. I believe that engine comes equipped with a pulse pump. If not, you might want to install one. As rough as the terrain is around there, you might want to let some air out of those rear tires. Looking forward to the full send!

I been waiting for this build truely amazing to see you guys build something! Now time to fabricate something more clean and durable 😃
Aside from the tank location adjustment and gearing which were already mentioned, the only thing I can think of is maybe triangulate the rear of the frame so it doesn't fold at the point where it was widened out. But still, for revision 1 of a build that is closer to what i could do than something Ethan/Edwin would put their name to, it's freaking awesome.
I like how they haven't done many solo vids (without ethan) the vibe is still very grindhard, much premium
Very much premium! Glad you like it!
Mindset of a genius 🤯🎰🎰🔥 great vid, I wish I could of been a helper for u lol bro , The energy 👌
I really wanted to see Ethan's reaction to this kart, are we going to get an update?
Did it hurt anyone else that he put the clutch on backwards, nvm he noticed
"oh no whats going on the clutch is getting red hot" oh geez i wonder why XD
this should be a new series and you should call it "while the parents are away". XD
You need a Comet clutch like in a snowmobile!!
Love the bonnet emblem 😂
Idk about everyone else but the 5th “premium” was most definitely the most premium premium

Use a large plastic rain barrel to build tubbed out rear wheel fenders to avoid mud and stones. When I seen this thing I was all "RATROD LETS GO!!!". I think you could have also got some sick suspension if you ran a swing arm from mid frame under the seats to the back throwing shocks on a post behind the seat. Really stance it for the hill climbs and jumps.
Bru omg the tires being backward pissed me off the whole time haha😅 😂

For really not knowing what you’re doing it came out pretty good! But I would probably leave the building and fabrication to Ethan🤩🤣
“This clutch we found in the woods”
Has a newby to your channel, there is so much to watch and I seem to go back and forth in the time line,, loving the antic,, Will is my favourite,, can’t wait for the next 100 mile challenge,, need more road trips please.
you guys are making great progress keep up the great work not knowing what you are doing on all of these projects only makes you learning something new I think y'all have done very well
I was just waiting for this build!
There's a brass bushing inside those clutches that you got to remove while you weld on it or you can damage the clutch seriously
The CLUTCH may of been ruined do to the welding. (That style centrifugal clutch has the gear on the outside the away from the motor.) The TIRE tread pattern is also directional and on backwards.
yard kart guy here, just to let you guys know your rear tires were put on backwards the whole time. I have 4 yard karts that have centrifugal clutch like the one used on your hot rod kart so some advice i would give is: if the engine is running and actually spinning the inside of the clutch but the outside of the clutch is not moving then let of the gas and shut off the engine. if you keep spinning the clutch like that it will get VERY hat VERY quick and warp the clutch, once its warped its as good as garbage. a lot of the time that will happen going up hills. best way to get up a hill with a centrifugal clutch is just to get a good run at it. welding on the clutch may have already warped it anyway.
another tip is that when building a mounting plate for the engine, put the clutch on the engine so that you can line up the drive gear on the clutch with the sprocket on the axle. then when drilling out the holes in the mounting plate slot them in the way that the engine can slide forward and backward when the nuts are loose. this allows you to tighten the chain by sliding the engine forward and then tightening it down.
when you don't need to have the all the ports on the engine open i would recommend that you either but on what ever is supposed to be on there like a header or just put some tape over it just so that dust and metal shavings don't get in your engine.

Now it’s a blackened widow.🔥
The Grind Hard sticker gave it a extra 20 horse and nice body mounts!!!!
they put the tires on backwards 😭
hahaha oh boy.. this build is special
It's a corn spider, scary looking but harmless, pretty sure 😅
nope, wrong leg shape and way too small
@@Shadow0fd3ath24 it was a baby ,I see them all time ,with white and or yellow on itsback
Brown Widow spider.
Hellyah. Just go at it. Only way to figure it out. Pros to steve also. Love it

great work will, I definitely would recommend a lower gear ratio & a torque convertor for the second attempt with those wheels ! :)
Why didn't you just clip the centrifugal clutch over sprocket on the outside?🤯

The hood ornament should have been the 'Its something" meme
These two are an amazing addition to the grind hard team! Loved the video and the personality of these two are awesome!
Keep up the great work guys! 🙏
So glad you think so we do too!
Well done, guys! For a first time build, that was EPIC!!!
Aren't the rear wheels on backwards? Those v-shaped treads should be cutting into the dirt so it gets pushed out to either side as it turns.

The supports that hold your rear axle will need serious reinforcements, especially if you use this cart offroad
Yeah, I was waiting for those welds to break or something bend on a bump.
Grind hard rules seem to have always been to build test fix problems test again THEN worry about paint. Proof of concept is important my friend! Glad your having fun with go karts though!
Well, I liked the engineering, which went into the previous version. Someone made the stuff work, which might have gone to the junkyard.
the production value on your videos really sets you apart from the rest, the camera work is on another level to all of the vlog channels

Aren’t the rear tires on backwards?
Don't let these guys lower your channels standards ever again.
That clutch situation is MADNESS
You can see the legit welds on the video when they got it...such a beautiful disaster.
This thing is cool! Add a reverse box and u have the rpm & room fit a juggernaut tq conv and let her rip! Oh yeah add those wheel bolts too lol
F'n scammers guess I'll delete this thanks TH-cam
Great content ,keep the good work up ,this is probably going to be a rat rod build which is sick.
Yes!
It was a premium attempt at least.
For starters your rear tyres are backwards, you need to swap them left to right.
Love everything about this except the tires on backwards was sending my ocd nuts lol the constant use of premium lol
That's a premium comment too.
Just a disclaimer Kamikoto uses 420J2 steel meaning it's no better than your cheap as shit walmart brand kitchen knife, if you want more info on this you should watch Shadiversity's video on this matter.
Smiley needs more supervision and the premium guy shows he is immature for the things y'all do
Woo-hoo! Sunday!
It's like watching 👀 a baby deer 🦌 taking it's first crazy shakey steps. 😅 backwards 😂
Backwards
Seems like you guys, cars and cameras and redbeard are all doing the same thing? You all have crappy shriners cars. Is that what is cool now?
Yeah I've noticed that. Seems like each week, give or take a week or so, the same three companies are doing the same style carts.
Yess, been waiting on this go cart series
Torque converter would probably do what y'all want out of it, get the juggernaut 30 series , I bet you won't be disappointed
Agree. Without a torque converter it won't move under its own power with that gearing and that size of a wheel. Pushing or down hill yes, it'll start going
Sorry guys last post , miss the real grind hard builds , lately it hasn’t been the grind hard guys sorry

love the sound of an expensive knife being wacked into a marble countertop🤣
The Go kart looks great with those "Tractor Pull" designed rear wheels!!! Keep up this guys!! But change the tire direction!!
You mounted the rear tires on backwards. Tread goes other direction. You two should not be left alone in the shop...lol
I definitely wouldn't change the look of it. because it's a ZZ Top eliminator. 1934 Ford five window coupe. it definitely needs to stay that way.
@CarsandCameras would have sooooo many things to say about this build!! lol Looks great!

Ditch the bonnet scoop, new bonnet with rows of old school cooling vents. White wall tyres and definitely chrome plate that radiator statue
Perhaps, the body could be reshaped & recontoured just a bit, to take some of the corners & sharp edges out and replace them with curves - like on the hood scoop. Then you could repaint the whole thing & give it a proper ZZ-Top lightning bolt on the side. Maybe, reshape the front grille, to make it look a bit more Fordy.

The next thing to go south is the frame parts that hold the axles. Call this creation..."BAD MOJO"!
That little centrifugal clutch is no match for those big tires. A TAV and bigger rear sprocket would be premium!
