As far as the brake fluid cap, wonder if an aquarium air line check valve would work. They are fairly easy to replicate with tougher materials if need be. They are intended to prevent a gravity fed water siphon back up from occurring so I am sure they would handle a job like that (especially made from metal or higher heat resistant plastic)

To sum all up. Don’t drive it when is raining and you should have a garage for it. You’re welcome.

I think death carts are practical in the sense that you don't have to worry about curbs and driveways, unlike with a daily driven sports car that's sorta low. I think you can make carting work for you if you got a Camry daily on the side.

Put a Tractor Flap on the end of the exhaust so you can drive it In the rain... Also it would be cool if you put a set of slicks on the 240 Death Kart and go to the Drag Strip, I'm think low 11s/High 10s in the 1/4 mile. Keep up the good work and shout out from Dallas Texas

You should look up how rock buggies, cab trucks and juggys are built. Everything you just named off is easily avoided.

Thanks so much man. This is what i needed to know.

Always had an interest in things like this. But usually all I found was dune buggies. And really never thought about building my own lol. I've always wanted my own version of the manix dune buggy or even like a formula 600 race car with no body. But this kind takes the cake and finally found people doing videos.

They're super fun! I want a grip race kart eventually!

I want one of these since I saw this on a recent tuner mag, not only their fun & easy to work on but just unique especially since I can't afford a slingshot. I want mine rwd. I'ma definitely check out channel 4 this build

Most of the downsides can be eliminated if built with the proper non-corrosive materials, and covered after use.

i started a sandrail mid-engine deathkart two years ago,W/ a 1776 new motor,down from a 2380 that self destructed ,although i didn't know the name DEATHKART it fits well my car. i just need a roll bar to compete in autocross,i think it will do good. i started with the idea of a poor mans atom,but this is much better!

Thank you for the info. Thinking about doing one as my own

I'm planning a Ford 460 C6 9" rear with just enough tube to hold it all together. Full roll cage but as lightweight as can be sorta safe. To save weight, single seat.

Can’t wait to start on my T-bird 4.6 kart. Doing a Mazda 5 speed super coupe swap, probably going to leave it 4 seats and just lift the rear since it’s independent.

good things to think about before building. I'm thinking of one from an mg midget and doing an sr20 swap. I have a vg30 that just might fit too. fully paneled the car weighs 1800 lbs so even just 300 hp would be insane

So when build kart stainless steel braided hoses cables etc route exhaust differently marine grade wiring don't store outside don't drive in rain look into uv protection options for seats and harnesses and when driving it around town assuming it's legal be careful of cops and look into a cover for it

Just bought a Corvette to turn into a death kart...Cant wait!

Well those issues are not issues just lack of planning. Tractor flap for the turbo exhaust, wiring just put it in looms (they are cheaper than rewriring the cart.)

Let me ask, if I was to actually have a full exhaust coming out the back and was the change to a marine wiring and seal everything up /dielectric grease everything, would that solve a lot of the cons? Also what about some kind of coating or wrap on the gas/ rubber lines to protect from UV? We know that good AN lines would be better but may not be best for a budget kart build at first.
