Thanks Robin! It was a bit of a project to complete but a lot of fun once complete :D

Looks great. Love that you included your daughter in the build, good memories that she will always have!

That is probably the coolest off road Go Kart I have ever seen. I love the rack and pinion steering and how you made it so it could be moved over for your daughter to steer.

Wow what a fantastic end product and just love your little assistant and I am sure she is mighty proud of you as well. Great post.

Just looking amazing Joe, and your girl was very proud to steer the card, very brilliant idea to make a removable steering. Thank you for sharing your amazing video. God bless you and your family

I would love to build this cart stretched out to sit more comfortably and with the 20,000-watt brushless motor I have. Fantastic build thanks for all the hard work, it gave me much more confidence in starting my own build for me and my daughter. You can tell your little girl definitely loved it, that's priceless!

Your illustrations are awesome I watched all trailer project parts your work is very neat plus you pay attention to the little details I loved fabrication because of you thanks to you very much sir. Big like from Arabian Yemen.

Nicely done with a lot of great ideas. I love the moveable steering. I don't think I'd give up the gas and brakes either. Nice wrist watch too but the way.

Joe, you are truly the daddy of all daddies. What a fantastic build and it looks great fun. Now that you are teaching your daughter to drive it will not be long before she is asking dad for the car keys. For your next build how about a Siromer tractor (a self build mini tractor from China) or a Tafe from India, someone of your ability could pull it off in no time.

@homesteadonomics

Or a mix between the two... either way you have probably just saddled me into researching that tonight....lol ;)

@uktony1525

6 жыл бұрын

Joe, the Siromer comes as a flat pack in a metal crate (which can be turned into a trailer) and requires building by the purchaser. It can have fitted all the things that a normal tractor needs like back hoe, dozer blade etc and would be a great addition for digging ditches etc.

I am trying to build it now. I picked the absolute worst time to do it. I didn’t realize steel and parts had gone up 110%. It’s been fun so far though. When she lets u just ensure you have all the proper parts first. Like the spindles, bearings wheels etc. That is the problem I’m running into. I’m receiving all the wrong parts. It breaks your heart.

Did you figure out?

This video is a great reference. My grand daddy is nearly complete. I've got the A arms left to do. Not bad plans, they are a bit outdated but work very well. After building the top rails I noticed it was very low near my head so I raised it up 5". Its for my kids but their nearly as tall as I am at 5' 9". It can get a bit expensive when you're buying your square tubing on eBay. So, if you have a hook up on 1×1 and 1¹/⁴×1¹/⁴ tubing you'll save a few hundred. I'm installing a predator 420cc on mine so I had to do some modifications on the back sub frame to run the bigger engine. I have yet to purchase the steering and rack & pinion due to one of the websites on the plans is no longer available. So I'm going to put the whole kart together and then take measurements for the correct steering set up. BMIKARTS, OMB, EBAY and AMAZON will be your go to for parts.

Super cool . Love it
