  • We take our home made shifter kart on its first test drive! This isn't how to build a shifter kart in the traditional sense- this is a DIY shifter go kart. We took a transmission from a badly blown up Yamaha Blaster engine, and adapted it to run with a Tillotson 225 racing go kart engine. In today's episode, we don't full send the go kart, but we do get a taste of this go kart's performance, and it's fast!

    I’ve always wondered what the limits of the pump-style engines are and a dog box transmissions is definitely the key to that. If I have the time, money and knowledge I’d love to make a proper transmission setup for one using the gearset from an atv or something and probably a custom crankcase cover/transmission housing system

    I kinda wish it had a real clutch and direct gear to gear on the motor and transmission instead of the centrifugal clutch on the Tillotson tho its still really cool

  • @ManiacRacing
    @ManiacRacing Před rokem +3

    One of the best things about using a second case as a transmission is the MANUAL CLUTCH! Personally, I would have hooked it up direct between engines and use the blaster clutch. Even a stockish engine will feel MUCH faster with the control of a manual clutch!

    Funny that I did this exact same thing back in the early 2000’s when I was 16. Used a kx80 motor and a 10hp Briggs powering it. But I did a direct drive to the transmission and used its clutch. Also it worked out great having an up and down gear shift on my left side. All in a big off-road kart with 4 wheeler rear tires.

    That's how i shift on mine and it's really fast. My wife she has one also and she loves it. Ours is lifted higher about 5 inch's off the ground cause we go trail riding all the time. We can switch from 2 wheel drive to 4 wheel drive easy. But to take it out of 4 wheel drive u gotta back up a few inch's. The youngest son he has his RZR and he loves it. We have one and we go mudding all the time. I had a good friend of mine put a suspension lift kit on it and my wife was like WTH it's higher. She can easy get in and out of it good.

    This is probably one of the better concepts fellas. My belief the centrifugal clutch is saving the engine from a certain demise. Once you go direct and try using the clutch it's more likely to break the crank or the rod. With that said and your willing to test it I'm willing to watch. Happy New Year and best of luck 👍

    Here’s an idea for future builds. Make paddle shifters using cable. Run the cable through the chassis to the main shift rod. Run up/down shift cable out either side of a pivot on the rod. Just a thought so you can shift without letting go of the wheel.
