Yard Kart Performance Mods | Can we Build a Top 5 Performer for Cheap??
Vložit
- čas přidán 22. 12. 2020
- 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!

How about an aerial shot of the track marked in red with some names of the corners and straights so we know where you are on the track?
That would be most cool!!
Hadn't thought about this until now. Great idea! And mark where the crashes happen lol 😆
@@thedarkhero5488
Oh yeah!!!
It'd be cool to rate the crash sights.
Any bets on John starring in most of em?
top gear test track.
@@TrulyUnfortunate 😆 From what I've seen yep, he's the crash star! This is number 2 at that curve I think. They need a dunce helmet or something similar lmao 😂
That little cart could cause a lot of pain though 🤕 Could almost feel it..
@@thedarkhero5488 I'd be terrified of it. I had a little 6hp I flipped around 17 years ago and I am damn thankful I had a cage.
The look on John's face after that last run was priceless.
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
Go do it for them
Landscape much? Nothing like flat and no stones
Imagine them doing actual races with 6-12 karts. Epic.
💯 💯
Check out mini mayhem
They did
@@wheelies4days547 I mean on their own racetrack.
Dress up as the Mario brothers too!
Ike's face at 1:05
Lol yeah
Yeah😂
1:13 that tie rod bending haha
I hope u guys enjoyed the go kart my dad dropped it off for me I save up and bought a new one that I built and figured u could do something better with it
As a viewer, I really appreciate it. It was a throwback to the old days of the channel, nice to see they still love their roots.
@@blze0018 ya
Good on you brother.
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!
you guys should just totally modify that thing move the engine back about 6 inches , center the steering wheel and seat and raise the front up and correct the clearance for the front wheels. and maybe port and polish the head on that honda
i cant tell but is the engine centered? if not then the driver actually needs to be slightly off center in the opposite direction for proper left right balance.
YAY been waiting all morning for this ❤
Me too
And me
Disappointment
Same
Same
Today on "we build it, John wrecks it"
John goes full send and yeets a go kart into a tree
He 2 for 2
Maybe should put straw bales in front of those trees.
You all REALLY need to work on that road in the woods, put a crown on the road with some gutters along the edge to drain the water faster, you have the tractor use it!!
No kidding...they need to work on the track filling it in and grading it smooth. They have the tools and, they have the dirt.
@@t-townmini4939 That's what I'm saying, crazy...
I'd bring my cart over, they can modify it while I work on the track for them! Lol
@@sal_e._mander5151 Good Idea. hehe
I like the mud aspect of it. Definitely take that tree out though
George of the jungle says “John watch out for that tree “.
Seems like someone else used the George reference last video.
man u spoiled it..
😀🤣🤣🤣
22:28 Just made my day with that look!
That is definitely the look of "sad disappointment"
Quit stealing all the ct70s :(
I really think some gravel in those mud holes is a good idea.
I miss stuff like this, the lowest budget shop parts builds. I love how far you guys have come from the what to look for in a go kart videos, but going back to the roots like this is awesome to see
Holy cow! That tie rod flex at 1:14 is crazy!
Swapping the front tires to the back would help with the gearing.
This is prime content for this channel, this is why I came here years ago. Great work guys keep it going!!
that's a "Hefty" rain suit Jon. bet you're "Glad" to have it.
Stop talking trash dude
Nice!
Why you baggin’ on him?
Watching all these videos of you two & sometimes three, one thing I do see that is so rare like winning the lotto with 1 in a billionth of a chance to win is the friendship you two share with each other. I have spent 42 years looking for something like this in over 25 different fields I dabble in not one bite. Cherish what you two have because you most likely will never find something so rare again.
Also I been watching you guys religiously since the rat rod project. I used to hate Mondays and Wednesdays, but yall make me actually enjoy them. Thanks for the content.
I really love this video. It’s a simple, fun, non complicated, back to basics build. Absolutely digging the steering wheel! Can’t wait till you gear it down some more and reach that goal of 1:10’s
Thank you guys,and friends,for sharing so much fun and information with us this past year.
Amazing how far you two guys have come .
I'v been a subscriber since the beginning .
Keep it up guy's
It’d probably be way more fun with smaller tires. I have a solid axle swapped yard kart with a 5.5hp and it can spin tires all the way up to it’s top speed at about 25 or 30 mph.
Merry Christmas gentlemen. Thank you for what u do. Your videos have made 2020 bearable. 🙏
At 4:22 the live axel looked bent
just fisheye distortion from the camera lens, it'll be fine
@@mrrooter601 yeah i think they had a wide angle lens because the kart in the back also looked bent
In 1979 I built a cart like this one. So much fun. I attached a set (like 8 springs) of car lifter springs between the seat and frame.....much smoother ride and MUST be tried!
built 3 of them last summer, learning a lot as I watch you guys, thanks,...
Merry Christmas Guys. Thanks for all the fun videos .
Great episode you guys that was fun to watch! I hope to see her run again on a drier day soon
Happy Holidays to you guys from here in California. Thank you for another great video.
enjoyed this so much.. Can't wait for better conditions and rerun.. Top 10 definitely!!!
I’m sorry to say John gave me a good laugh on this one !! Lol
You guys are like a couple 13yr olds !! 😂 and I'm a 45 yr old watching you two and loving it !!
I'm 71 and wishing I was out there.
I'm 44 and watch every video. And mess around with my own cheap rescued go carts . I too wish I was out there in the mud with them.
He’s a RIDER
On a MISSION
Action Dude’s with Great Position
ROCKET POWER🔥!!!!!
I was waiting for that 1:010 lol cool video guys. Thats one of my favorite projects .
I really like the engineering @15:27 . . perfect place and attachment of the fuel tank 👍👍 !
2 thumbs up
That was soooo fun to watch!
Never put your arms out on a roll over, just remember these words, tuck and roll.
"Duck & Cover" just like Burt the turtle 🐢.
It's projects like this that got me into watching your videos in the first place!
Isaac, John I just opened my Christmas present and tried on my "It'll Be Fine" hat. It's the only the thing I ask for, for Christmas. Love the flex fit. Thanks so much guys. Keep up the great content.
Merry christmas you guys and have a happy new year keep up the great videos thank you
What a fun episode the pictures of John with a face splashed with mud priceless. Thanks for the fun and Merry Christmas to you both
Bill in Fort Wayne Indiana
One of the funnier vids for sure. John that look in your eyes and reply after coming back the second time...hahahaha like a man possessed. Gj and good vid. You guys are amusing in your madness. Respect
Its nice to see you guys going back to the basics every once in a while. OG stuff.
Really do love watching you guys Merry Christmas and God bless🙏❤
Love the Intro we all have done that before. Also I just remembered they make transmission boxes for lawnmowers its for a vertical shift but it would be cool to see a build with one going to a live axle
I laughed so hard at soaking John! 🤣🤣🤣
I hope that this video performs well for you, you earned it!
God bless and Merry Christmas, guys!
X
Nice to see you guys going back to your roots on this one. The custom projects are great but my lil ones and I love the go kart videos. Keep up the good work
Great episode! That thousand yard stare from John.... If I could suggest anything, it'd be a standardized start/finish line. And maybe a bonfire dedicated to the cart killer tree.
You two guys are pretty cool guys! Thanks for everything you do😎🕇
Good show guys,love the video.merryxmas and happy new year,intel next time.
Ike seems so happy playing around with this gokart!
Merry Christmas one and all.I hope we all have a happier New Year too !
It's going to turn in a good time, that puddle really sucks. Good thing you have a loader and some spare dirt to massage that hole/corner.
Love it! Please do more
Yes! bring this back , thats why half us started watching you guys in the first place
CZcams recommends i rewatch the episode that ike flipped the mower! Episode one of the mower build was the episode that I hit the subscribe button for, still my favorite project, (sorry ike) and I would love to see it make a lap time! Thank you for making every Monday and Wednesday awesome!
Look at that right side steering linkage bend,,, that was one of the first things that i had to beef up on my Manco RedFox, 1/4 galvanised pipe with the correct sized nuts welded on the ends and some Heim Joints, made a huge difference.
Yessir!!! Been waiting for this. Just sold my ct200u.
The look on John's face. He took it for the team! 🤣. Thanks for the great videos guys!
Man! You boys are having more fun with this kart than I imagined.
You guys are the best. I want to have this much fun.
This big builds are cool but these smaller karts keep me coming back. Simple, brutal, fun.
I use to watch you guys all the time as a kid in foster care and it was always my dream to do what y'all do you guys always made me laugh throughout the years. Keep up the good work guys.
This was one of your most fun videos in a long time.......not sure why tho LOL
When are yall going to put nitrous a kart? I'm sure an older engine with lower compression would make great power and if it blows up oh well. Maybe gap the rings and get more fuel in there.
They sell small engine nitrous kits. They should try one.
Twin turbo is the way to go, if it works for Porsche, it should work for a Honda...LOL
@@G56AG twin turbo would be cool but nitro would be more bang for the buck. Much less fab and would be less dangerous on an already low compression engine.
Duper charge and turbo!!!!
Definitely wanna see more of this kart...
I have the exact same motor on my pressure washer and it didn't like running off choke until I replaced the plastic spacer, now she runs much better.
Same,Keep up the good work
Best idea. A truck load of small rock could change up that watery muddy mess in the woods. Your 🚜 will be great for the job!!!
Thanks for all the fun you Guys put out there for us fans. Marry christmas And Happy New Year!!!
John, You knew better than to try to run with 6 inches of standing water in the back 40 but much respect for the honest effort...sendin ya'll a merry christmas from Bama
Its so awesome seeing this grow to a massive go kart complex
John the bag man LOL great video
Gorgeous bit of machinery
I love the vids merry christmas
Very cool👍
Thank you gopowersports!
Keep up the good work
NOS..... Fast&Furious.... Then A home improvement tool time reference.... Nice!!!
Best show on CZcams !!!
Funniest thing happened yesterday. Watched your video yesterday of the honda engine and was the first time seeing that stylrengine. My friend brought a abandoned pressure washer with a guess what. 5hp honda with a timing belt. Lol
Please keep building these yard karts. There awesome
Might be a good idea to put some gravel on the track. Fill in those holes. Good fun though.
Can't wait to see what you come up with next I'd love to see that one run on a dry lap
Put a V-Twin on it that would be interesting
Vtwin 4 sure.
great video a challenge for sure it can be done lets see you do this
Holy crap, I've never seen a kart beat up John so much, when he came back cart barely running, glasses falling off, no brakes I couldn't help but crack up xD Also YOU need to get a dry lap in, heck even groom it with the tractor, I know you got this!
Holy commercials. You two.must be getting rich. Sorry having a hard time sticking around
i watch so much youtube that When google sent me a 3 months of CZcams Premium free offer i snagged it up. It totally changes the experience. I kept the subscription plus it includes CZcams Music which is like spotify/pandora. Yeah 12/a month sounds like a lot but I literally spend all my tv time watching youtube so i justified it. no more ads.
Get CZcams Premium, it's worth it.
I have a wonderful idea for a video! Go throught the leader board slowest to fastest and show the video clips as a complation video slowest to fastest! That would be an excellent vlog!! Does anyone agree?? I would love to see all the runs on the leader board. John and Ikeand who ever else drove for the time on the board!!
You'll get it eventually! 👍👍✌
Love the vid looks fun
I'm sure there is many weeks between the filming of these but wasn't the original time 1.17?
Cool yard cart guys John you crash everything haha and Isaac you just crush it out of the hole keep doing what you do love you videos stay safe be good
Great try guys. The Old Man thinks you will make it. Love your videos. Merry Christmas 🎅💝💝
This is so good
MERRY CHRISTMAS John & Issac!🎄
22:54 “it’ll be fine” 😂
