I bought a vintage Go Kart that I'm redoing. When my buddy and I picked it up we saw a dolly sitting there and both of us looked at each other and said "that's a Go Kart frame!" Glad you made it happen.

Moving dolly make good starters for vintage karts .. that's what I use for holding two batteries and two starter motors for my dual engine vintage karts.

As far as the lengthening the chassis, was thinking you could have possibly added/welded some tubing to lengthen the frame in which you would have to have cut the frame pretty much in half to add. Great Build👍

I was laying down in bed the other night thinking about building a go kart for my son. Is the universe speaking to me? Great tutorial and epic edits.

MAD skills!!! As a kid of the 70's without endless money to just buy everything we wanted, we learned to hack/chop/glue/weld/bend stuff together for my buds and me to have fun. I applaud your efforts and engineering talents. This was no small task. THIS is what every kid (or adult) today should endeavor to do....to innovate, adapt, problem-solve and LEARN new skills. Totally enjoyed the video!

Fair enough... I have similar skills, never realized it might be impressive to someone, but then I realized not everyone knows much about small engines and building stuff in a garage cuz they live a different kind of life than that...

A DIY tutorial for a dolly go kart would be great! I always thought that a dolly could make a good frame and you demonstrated that perfectly here. This would be a great project to mess around with on a low budget!

You don’t have to cut it up at all. I did this like 2 years ago, never finished but got close. Just lay it down long ways replace the axle with a drive axle and then use the handle as a pivot point for the front steering. Then add your seat and engine either up against or bend the carrier plate down. After that juts test it out and fix any sketchiness

Ass. You're welcome.

I love that this was almost a combo video. Salvaging the pressure washers and their teardown/touchups was a pleasure to watch forgot i was watching a gokart video!

Just stumbled on this video and subbed about halfway through. I like your explanations along the way. I'm also glad to see there's a backlog of videos for me to watch tomorrow.

bro your joy as your drivig your creation is wholesome

This is something I’ve thought about multiple times, so glad to see it done!

This video was amazing and very joyfull to watch, you're very skilled dawg to make something like that from lil to nothing. loved the editing very great production for a 2.5k channel

Love the work you put into these videos man! A true inspiration

super high production value! cant believe u only have 1k subs. Keep making content like this and u will blow up, the algorithm definitely picked this video up, so clearly you're doing something right. Best of luck going forward!

Give a man a welder, grinder and an imagination and he can make anything.

My mate and I have been talking about doing this for the last 5 years, it's brilliant to see someone finally do it

Would be awesome to see another one of these builds, but more DIY for someone like me that wants to build a go kart but i don’t have any complicated tools such as a welder. Awesome vid!

I had no idea I needed one of these!! Definitely on my to do list. Great job.

I've thought about this for a long time! This is so cool man!

This was awesome dude! Big props to the ingenuity

I’ve had this idea for a long time I think it would be such easy frame glad to see someone else did it too

Look at you having fun man, what a way to enjoy the project

Wow!! That is talent and sick. Hella job 🔥

Awesome video and that thing looks like it’s a blast!

Excellent work!!!

Camera point of view looks like your going warp speed! Love it

Thats the greatest thing ive ever seen in my life.

I have been thinking of a build just like this for years im glad someone finally did it🎉

Dude this thing is sick love the idea cool!

I cant believe i never thought of this! Awesome

The handtruck on the way home: oh boy i hope i get to lift lots of heavy things! 10 minutes later: OHHH MY GO- NOT MY HANDLE NOOOOOO AAAGGGHHHMYYYWHEEEEELSSS

Awesome Li'l Red Drift Kart 👌... looks like a lot of fun 😀 👍

AWESOME build Dude....MOPAR 4 EVER.

FANTASTIC JOB VERY CREATIVE

Cool project. I think if you initially bought two you would have enough material for a full cart.

Amazing work!!

Childhood dream come true lol, nice work on this crazy go kart

That looks so cool...Great deal on the motors :)

This is pretty impressive garage engineering bro. You earned the sub.

Awesome....You're a talented man

so smart dude. great job. definitely want to try this someday. frames are so esspensive.

Damn! this is so majestic!

amazing video and project!!

This is fantastic project, you got a steal when you took a chance on those pressure washers. Fair play man watched the whole thing

I think learning anything mechanical or technical is very useful. Makes you a better problem solver and could be useful in everday situations such as cars breaking down or being stranded.

I am working on ideas right now...

In the office of a start-up I was in, we had those 250?watt little Razor scooters. We also had a moving dolly.... we quickly realized that just putting the handle down on the traction padding was enough if you sat on the dolly to "secure it" and make a pivot point, the scooters have collapsable handles so ... down they go and ... off to the races we went... literally...haha

Awesome work. Faster than I anticipated. I’m guessing 30 mph.

Awesome content Love all the hard work My 2 cents The dolly has harden steel thicker gauge The racer in me . . . Get a shopping cart more thinner tube Lighter is faster We are all ready at neck braking speeds no pads or helmet. Who cares our wives don’t

I love it Bro. Your creative. You made something out of nothing. Awesome sauce

It's amazing how one person sees one thing, and some one else sees something completely different!! You saw a go cart from a hand cart, I also saw a wheel barrel without the handles and brackets and the wheels. Turn the wheel barrel basin upside down, and you have a roof for your go cart!! Just thinking!! Thanks for sharing!!!
