NZ Salt Flats Racer yes, they are! Got to drive one on a wet roadcourse just this last saturday, and it was awesome!! Very direct, very instant, basically does anything you could ask it to do while being tremendous fun AND teaching you to drive. You climb in through the window with the steering wheel out the way. Three pedals, sequential shifter and super quick steering (about a turn lock to lock).
and this is why the finnish have the best rally drivers in history

Easy is relative to what you are used to I guess. Easier than a current WRC car? Probably not. They look to have a really huge steering lock angle. For what these cost compared to a rally car they offer incredible value. I'd love one. Cant imagine they would be allowed on traditional rally events... here in the UK at least.

@@paulhope3401 I haven't driven wrc cars so I don't know about them. Yes - it will take a while to get used to the crosskart, but when you start to feel the grip and the brakes, you can pretty quickly keep the control of the car . But finding the limits and push flat out, of course that's difficult.

Love it. Finally my dreams from 1/8th scale off road are coming true. Trophy trucks are ok, but I've been waiting to see something faster and more agile for off road racing.
The sound is great, so beautiful
For the record , that’s not a challenge it’s just normal Finnish people going to work in the morning!!!

FANTASTIC !!!!!!
Great Action and Sounds...

I hear that is illegal everywhere else because the fun factor is off the charts and would be dangerous to your Work Ethic.
That sound is amazing. It's like music to my ears. Thanks, now I have to build one of these. 🤣😂🤣
I love the Finns, they're absolutely nuts!
Way back to hell and gone ago, the Plattsburgh, New York SCCA chapter used to stage winter autocrosses out on the ice of Lake Champlain. I competed in a stock ‘69 Beetle and it was about the highest fun/horsepower ratio I ever experienced. I can only begin to imagine what a gas it would be to drive one of these little monsters!

Are they using a chain differential or just a Gear on the drive shaft?
Nice Drifting dude.
They have "Break Lights"...
How do they fit such massive balls in there?!?
Ai että kun naukuu mukavasti. Tätä kuuntelee ja katselee ihan ajankulukseen.
Fan vad läckert, detta vill jag ha i Sverige också.
thats some incredible driving. especially in that thing where all the weight is in the middle/rear i bet that things really snappy. not to mention on snow which isn't necessarily a bad thing. but you have to commit more than ever since if you bail mid drift in snow like that, you'll either be understeering into a tree or spinning out into the bank. not much room for error vs pavement where if you bail properly you have some chances of hooking up and getting through the corner ok if you slow down and get weight on the front wheels. plus in the snow you're always sideways; you could always have a bad entry, maybe it doesn't transition quick enough for the next corner, maybe you swayed a tad bit off the racing line so you have to compensate with more angle on the next corner, who really knows. and remember, all the weight is in the middle/rear. probably pretty snappy and responsive.

Thumbs up for the analysis 😁 from my own experience, they are pretty much understeering (at least on tarmac) in the corner entry if you fail to transfer the weight in the front wheels. So basically you need to turn the car with brakes and when the rear starts to slide, you control the angle with throttle and steering wheel
Ok! Thanks =)
This is the reason why they have had so many top rally drivers, that and the fact they pour Vodka on their cornflakes. Met a few of them in my travels and they are great company, if a little dangerous.
Reminds me alot of the old Honda Odyssey or newer Polaris Ace. Would be right at home at any off-road coarse in the world.
Do people build these themselves or do you buy them from a manufacturer?
Awesome
Is the engine built for the chassis? Or is it taken from a bike?
That black - orange on 1:20 :D

just wondering what sort of shifting setup these have, really cool though if I were to set something up fo a shifter I'd want something like a car but with the clutch as a hand grip so you can hit the clutch and shift all at once.

When I lived in Alaska, I loved it when I had lower 48ers in the truck and I would go around corners sideways and not even have to over correct as it straightened out. My passengers would freak out because they had never experienced a car going around a corner sideways. Good fun!
Only the Finn’s would come up with a great idea like this. Looks like a ton of fun
how exactly does one get into this?
Saukkolan pikkuradalla kokeilin kerran tollasta. Karuja laitteita. Millaset piikit noissa talvirenkaissa?
I FUCKING LOVE THIS!!!
Are those 2 stroke engines?
In Finland driving in a straight line is prohibited. Sideways driving only! They must teach this in drivers education over there lol. Cool shit.
