It is usually accompanied by a 90 day warranty that begins at the moment of manufacture, and excludes damage from moisture and vibration in the conex on its way here.

It's a pleasure to ear the quality of your english. Your language is rich and creative. It shows your personality. As a French native speaker, I was always told English is not as rich as latin languages (French, Italian, etc...). In every video you make, you prove than English, when spoken properly, can be a very sophisticated language also. If only more people were speaking English like you do... Greetings from Montréal !

I have a engineering company and half our products are copied by China and are for sale on eBay. One thing that we noticed, is that in China they copy and paste descriptions with absolutely no idea what they are saying. We made a mistake on one product's packaging 10 years ago, and to this day there are counterfeiters still selling a parts kit we originally designed with the same mistake. I love your videos! Thanks for taking the time to post em'

Almost 50 years living in the midwest, first time I've ever heard the expression, "whip some shitties"..lol...great video series, thank you!

Tony! I don't know if it's the problem but usually single speed bike sprocket have much higher teeth! You can google them and see. The point is that if you use a common sprocket from a pack, and you use it alone, the chain doesn't have the other nearby sprockets to stay on, and falls. Even if you have a chain tensioner. I tried on my dirt bike and it was a real pain. I think that with the oscillation of the motor, the chain falls half off the sprocket and the pull from the engine brake it. A second thing I've been thinking is that I really love this channel and your work, but this last project isn't intriguing me that much, it kinda feels like you had to do a project to upload a video, but may be wrong! I really liked when you had a project born from your problem or need, and your less expensive ingenious way to solve it is very cool! please don't end like the king of random with cra...bby (?) videos and d...ucking (?) clickbait titles, it's horrible. Love what you do, keep going, you're awesome!

Hey tony, what's the deal with the surface gauge build? I was really looking forward to it

Hi TOT Cool set of videos. Man at the memories they bring back. Good times! We had a lot of carts when we were kids so long ago. All the boys got together to ride an swap to see what worked. I remember these points. The frame flexed on ours to keep all the wheels on the ground at all times. No wheels ever came off the ground. No differentials all chain or belt drive. Just about all were chain. They all used straight solid back axles. The fastest carts had chain saw engines back then. No motorcycle engines at that time. The most common was the small centrifugal clutch. The CF had a few teeth and the axle had a large gear almost as big as the tire. They would run pretty quick up to 60 in flat straight road, so that may not be your first choice. The steering was much more simple. Usually just a triangle welded onto a rod. The triangle had two holes drilled into each side. Each hole was connected to the arm with a rod. The rods crossed the left hole to the right wheel. and the right hole to left wheel. I don't remember having any castor or camber. If there was any it was very slight less than 5 degrees. Have a blast and be safe.

I lost it when you said, "and you know maybe it's not that bad if I actually pet the grass." XD

Probably a Constant Velocity Transmission ;-)

"Didnt you learn anything from My Cousin Vinny" You just earned a subscriber

I'd say the camber is pretty much zero, since the axle is welded horizontally to the Kingpin. Also, the most relevant reason for having camber is to have a maximum size contact patch when cornering (Body + tyre roll). With the dynamic weight transfer moving towards the front outer wheel this would allow for a higher cornering speed. Considering the contact patch of those tyres and what this kart is designed for its probably not much of a concern. Toe and camber will have more effect. Thank you Tony for the amazing videos, Its a joy to see mechanical engineering been turned into entertainment!

"Maybe it wouldn't be that bad if I pet the grass" absolutely made my day

don't cut the axle, just put bearings in one rear wheel and make it a free wheeler.

Best beginner description of how karts handle ever!

This entire series has helped me a lot in the design of my grand kids cart. thanks Tony.

I frigging Love that dry sense of humor you've got... 2 simple tools, indeed! My face aches from laughing too much!!! :)

Hellbent cycles " a recumbent trike prime" is a great go to resource on steering geometry. I'd angle the kingpin angle directly through the center of the wheel, to reduce scrub. Cars have some scrub but for a home project zero scrub is a good place to start. You need to get the wheel mount as close as possible to the wheel, as increasing the angle increases the lift on turning. Next important factor is having trail, which gives self-centering of the wheel. For a kids cart more trail is desirable, but increasing the angle also increases lifting the front on turning... so you can't go too overboard. Trail can also be increased by moving the axle behind the pivot point... like a shopping trolley does. Aside from these two factors any other design is going to be pure trial and error.... ie you may have a theory on how something will behave, but in practice it'll do something a bit different, unless you really understand vehicle design, in which case comments on youtube are not going to be a big source of information.

Toro mid engined lawn mowers from the early 90's had differentials on the axle shaft. We used one to build my brothers cart. Simple system I'm sure you could fabricate one, salvage one, or a combination of both. It was two gears on the axle shafts mated with two in a housing box that turned freely, the gear on the outside rotated the whole box on bearings on the axle shaft. It delivered the power to the pinions on the inside of the box so they could also turn to allow either axle different speeds

You are the Jafromobile of go karts my friend. Excellent production value

You should add that spring to the seat ! Make a " seat bracket " and on the front side make it where it can pivot and put the spring on the back . Maybe that will dampen the ride ! But your videos are great . You have great fabrication skills

You can literally adjust about ANYTHING with those 2 simple tools If you don't put your eye out Or Burn your eye out Amazing cart great video

"Who designed this thing? Me?" Good to know other people think this too. :D

I gotta stop you right here (2:59). McCullough started life as a chainsaw company. They bolted a motor, with its tiny drive sprocket onto a cart and used a large driven sprocket and that's it. To say that more reduction is required is incorrect. Your moving to a larger drive sprocket was the fatal error. And the motor bracket. That was a problem You did good. But what is, is. Look at all the Go-karts. Google them. No gear reduction whatsoever. Excellent video. Excellent build. Excellent father. Done deal.

you are the man. I can't for the life of me figure out why people have to give you a thumbs down on a video like this. People suck.

I do much appreciate your explanations in these videos! I always like to know the how and why behind the what.

"my other sprocket is a Zamboni..." made this Canuck chuckle.

Man I love your sense of humour, thanks for the great videos, subscribing right now! :D

Cool project ! Great video production too, perfect shots, camera angles and editing. As a machinist, I would highly recommend a castle nut on the bottom side of steering knuckle king pin bolt. At least a nylon lock nut. Bottoming that long bolt out on the thread you cut on the knuckle will spin loose , guaranteed. Causing an involuntary loss of control.

love the adjustment with 2 simple tools thanks for the vids

Be sure to look into Ackerman angle too. You're generally correct with your knowledge here! looking good! best way to learn is to play around with it. I'd personally stick away from the jacking effect, if you hit a bump or unsettle the chassis in any way during the turn you could end up with both rear tires on the ground and only one tire steering, what is more likely though is that you will just flex the frame and end up with all four down. -Mechanical Engineering Student (fourth year and chassis team lead for my formula SAE team) focusing on vehicle kinematics and dynamics.

Don't forget your Ackermann steering when it comes to steering geometry, it will help with the corners.

My mower has Ackerman steering.

On the hot rods I build I find that too much positive caster creates a condition called wheel tramp, or a wobble at speed. I've found that five to six degrees positive is the sweet spot for my cars with straight axles and was a little perplexed when I looked at yours. also take a look at something called Ackerman angle. I enjoy your videos and give you kudos for being the kind of super dad that would do this for his kids. Regards, Mike

I use a variation of those 2 tools, a dremel (or portable band saw) and hot glue gun. I make RC vehicles like a twin prop duck with a select fire airsoft pistol in his back, and I mod cheap airsoft guns with brushless dc motors, esc's and 75C lipo batteries. I learned Python and Arduino for making blinky lights, fpv cameras and wearables. Also I'm a 63 year old journeyman electrician.

Ending is the best xD Good luck with steering work, Tony :)

i learned alot of steering issues with RC cars, its a good reference for camber and castor, also its a good way to try and fail on a small scale, i found 5 deg is a good amount for a flat track then 10 to 15 for dirt. so..... even regular cars have a 2 degree camber... check out some upscale rc cars to really get a good idea of steering. i really enjoyed your videos and also learned alot on your lathe vids, thanx!

Rule of thumb is stay between 8 and 12deg for caster. Camber is heavily affected by tires (bc of sidewall deflection, contact patch deformation, etc) but 10 is way too high, going above 3 will have big effects on turn-entry and weight shift (think snap oversteer). Ackerman and toe is important on high scrub radius vehicles like karts but are easy to adjust later ( start with ackerman pointing 5-10inches in front of rear axle and 1.5 deg toe-in for braking stability and neutral driving). Also note that since the front is very light and you have no front brakes, the steering force will stay light even under braking . Caster angle helps jack the kart onto three wheels when entering a curve (unloads inside rear) that, in turn prevents the understeering force of the rear axle.

Brother, you have some truely wicked fabrication skills.

You seem to have a great handle on all this already. As has been said in some other comments, you probably only need

you cracked me up the the "two simple tools" line at the end :)

Good video! Including myself, a lot of guys got pretty deep into steering geometry ect, the bottom line is it's a kids go kart, he'll floor it and love it no matter what the kingpin inclination angle is LOL! He'll love it and you can make adjustments later after the first trip through moms garden! Great series, I keep thinking about the minibikes my friends and I built as kids and there was no math involved I can assure you.

Tony, loving it man. I'm along for the theoretical ride.

You have done a great job, just remember what the final product is, "the smile on the child's face" mission accomplished.

Way too much caster. You only need about 2-4 degrees caster. With a solid rear axle it WILL NOT TURN on asphalt unless you are sitting on the front axle! You do not need camber on a 1 hp go cart. Trust me, been there done that. I ran an alignment shop for 6 years and did alignments on circle track cars, drag cars, buses, motor homes, wheel barrels, you name it.

It WILL turn with a solid rear axle. It won't be like a shopping kart, but it will turn pretty well on asphalt, as soon as it has some speed. That's slip angle and slip ratio working on. How do I know? I've built one myself during my graduation. And the CG was far from the front axle. Although I agree that 20 deg sounds a bit too much, I wouldn't change it after welded. All the weight of the wheel can be dealt with playing with the lengths of the steering mechanism, and 20 degrees may help with the fun when a more powerful engine goes on the back.

@drewrogge4798

I agree that the current castor is way too much. 2-4 seems right. The other thing I'd suggest is to weld the axel perpendicular to the king pin axis. Not parallel to the ground. I think the current setup is what's causing one side to lift and the other to drop. Both sides should left when turning. One thing you never want is to have one of the front tires to have reduced grip in a turn. Other than weight transfer but there's not much you can do about that with a rigid suspension.

@heitooooor

The lift/drop of the front wheel is intended. This reduces the rear grip when turning, helping the kart over instead of understeer.

Look at a three-wheeler. All I've seen are solid rear axle. It relies on the outward lean of the operator to bring enough pressure off of the inside rear tire to allow it to skip. It scrubs the tire, makes it wear faster, and makes them more dangerous that a four wheeler, but that's how it works. It also means that you have to spend some time learning to work with the machine to get it to do what you want, and what it's limits are. Preferably without rolling it or running it straight into your neighbors brand new super expensive whatyamacallit...

before you weld on the steering arms to the stub axles, do a quick search on ackerman steering this will help you weld the arms in the right position so the inside wheel turns more than the outside wheel, giving the kart more grip around the corners. love your vids.

I just subscribed for that "pet the grass line" idk why but I laughed way to hard at that.

You referred to "whippin' a shitty" i haven't hears that for around 30yrs I'm subscribing for sure. Nice cart your kids are lucky, I always had to build my own out of an old snowmobile or lawnmower or several parts of each.

Fully adjustable with 2 simple tools :D I love it!

I like your adjustment tools. Growing up on a farm these are very familiar to me.

when you said it was fully adjustable I was like, "Yeah, with a grinder welder"... then you popped them on the table. just take the thumbs up.

Loving the journey Tony!

My son and I built a similar kart when he was 11. He actually did some of the welding! Anyway, all I really thought about was Ackerman steering, so that was designed in. Kingpins were completely vertical, so no castor, camber or king pin angle.I know it would have been better to have incorporated these angles, however he had no problems with steering it at all. One thing I always meant to add was a seat belt..... Oh, we also had the chain break or come off at first. Turned out the axle shaft was flexing under the load. We added a third support bearing next to the axle drive gear and the problem was gone.
