- In this video we show you guys our most recent project. It's a go kart we built from the ground up with a 420 Predator engine. We turned a regular yard kart into a racing go kart with a 13 hp engine with 20 ft pounds of torque.

This is by no terms the final product of the kart, we would really like it to do wheelies and be a bit faster after a new belt and some more torque converter tuning. If you have any suggestions or questions please write them in the comments.
Thanks for watching and be sure to subscribe and don't worry if you don't have velocity you will be able to see parts of this build in the future! - Auta a dopravní prostředky
We are super excited for this opportunity but this kart needs some more work, especially with the torque converter. So if you guys have any suggestions on how to make it launch better that would be great. But thanks so much for subscribing and helping us get to this point and hopefully this project helps us bring the channel to the next level.
That is a fast up cart
The belt wasn't aligned with the driver pulley, and the edge of that sheared the belt. The channel is growing fast! Congratulations!
keep it up man loving it
love your vids
The belt will wear really quick if the drive pulley and the clutch pulley are not aligned and if the belt is put on backwards. I have many Ebay torque converters and I have never ruined a belt.
Carson Duba Thanks, that’s what it seems to be.
Your welcome! Build looks great! Hey if you guys could watch my video on my mini 4 wheeler that would be Awesome.
Move your seat back closer to the rear as much as possible and put a larger sprocket on your final drive. It won’t be as fast top end but it’ll make it jump out of the hole quicker. More rear weight may give you enough to wheelie.
Rusty Crusty CJ7 Yeah were gona stick with the sprocket that’s on there for now but moving the seat back seems like a must. Thanks.
I have much respect you and your crew. It seem to me that bigger adventures will be coming your way. It good to see that spirit
I going to throw this out to you its not cheap not a give a way but will make good project, that is of course that you still like wheels or have not moved on to Jets already.
I have Toyota MR2 1985 The motor? leaks oil faster than a sive. Transmission manual good condition. I am too old to work on it
shame its a mid engine right for racing my boys not into it. You guys are smart. Body and interior good and wold be worth an investment.
I just noticed we live close to each other
First your belt alignment looks off. Second is the tv thing a build off type deal because Cars and Cameras is doing a show on Help with as well.
It appears that the pulleys are not properly aligned. You need to line the inside part closest to the engine up with one another. Take a straight edge and put on the back side of the pulley.
Nice build guys. A word of suggestion, to stabilize the cart add caster to your front steering. It appears that your steering knuckles are straight up or 0* caster, tilt them back ( || \\ ) about 5*. Doing this will make better use of the tire for more gription and better high speed stability.
Justin Price Yeah we’re planning on adding some caster for steering because the live axle gets too much traction for tight turns.
Hi you are good
Cool...So you guys are gonna be famous...lol...
Dan Hambrick haha not exactly, glad your still watching tho I remember you commenting on our xj vids when we had like 20 subs lol
Where did you get your torque converter at. I want to use the same engine with similar parts. Can you make a item list for us please
guess we now know where cars and camera's are at the moment
Go cart
Do you have wheelieb problems
Is it stock
I could not see it well but i think Your belt is lined up in free mode but is it lined up onder stress ? Have fun
I think it might have like hit something or it stopped for a second or something like that probably that it was probably a cheap and it probably old I don't know
Talk to the guys on cars and camera's
I need help finding a frame for a cart can someone give me a link
Craigslist.com
Build one with a Dif and Suspension.
ravenlorans That’s what we’re putting this 420 on. Check out our $50 off-road go kart find video.
You need to get a good belt. Those ebsy belts are junk. You need a comet brand belt. You can look into changing the clutch springs. Hard acceleration off the line is tough on belts also
Great job on the build. 👍
WallysWheels Remade Alright thanks, that’s what I was thinking.
Looks like your belt is too tight. Your jackshaft is too far away from the engine. There should be a little play in the belt when the motor is stopped or at idle. That allows for slippage, so the belt doesn't immediately engage upon starting the kart, which is what it did in the video. Didn't that torque converter come with a mounting plate? If it did, that would be the distance you need between the pulleys. Try moving the motor back a little. EDIT: Yeah, I also noticed your belt is way out of alignment.
F5 Tornado Ok, I think it might have been to tight, like some other people said I should check the alignment too
From what i could see,your clutch is not lined up with the torqe converter.your clutch on the engine side,should be lined up with the torque converter perfectly,or it will keep tearing up the belts.I used to work on snowmobiles and had run into this before!
Robert Hardwick ok thanks, I’ll take a look when we install the new belt.
It’s not in line I had the same thing happen to me once
Ben Purnell Ok thanks, I’ll take a look
Brakes! Trees will step out in front of you.....just sayin'
