  • We’re modifying our newest yard kart to try to get it into the top five on our leaderboard! Our top five fastest vehicles around the CarsandCameras Grand Prix include the 750cc cross kart, the Grave Ninja 650, and other high powered, sophisticated machines. We think with the proper gearing and thoughtful modifications, we can get this humble OHC 5 horsepower Honda yard kart around the track in a similar time to the high powered machines. We install a live axle kit to get power to the ground, change the gearing, install new and better brakes, space the front wheels out for better stability, and install a Mikuni 22mm carburetor for more power.
    Thanks for Watching!

    John, you bought the tractor now go get you a rototiller attachment for it, then till the entire track about 6" deep, and put the scraper blade on it and blade the track! you can fill the low spots and take out the high spots making it a way better track. or do I need to come up there and do it for you? lol

    Cool cart for getting it free. Center your seat and steering for more stability when turning, especially on right turns. You won't tip over as easily and you will have equalized your weight on the live rear axle and may have better traction in the mud. Great video!
