550cc IRS Cross Kart Build Pt. 1 | NEW BUILD!

[admin]

We’re building a cross kart! What is a cross kart? Basically, it’s a cross between an open wheel racing go kart, and a Baja buggy with lots of suspension travel.

[Mike O]

This is the one I've been waiting for. I thought that ride on the 500cc snomobile engine kart might stir your imagination.

[Moatheboss Hamdan]

Finally a new sponsor

[BanquoX]

looks like a metal coffin

[RedPilled View]

Build a chromoly 3/4 scale rail dragster with a nitro Harley engine?! Exhibition dragster!😜👍 a bit fast but you could de tune it slightly….

[Valentin Maissen]

With a aircooled engine, and the driver infront of it and relative slow speeds, you should think about some cooling ducting. Some simple sheetmetal next to the driver should do the trick.

[All Moving Things]

Great project lads. A lot of work ahead ya.

[Dylan Zrim]

PuT ThE DUcAtI EnGInE On iT!!!
(Sarcasm although it’d work but I really don’t care what they use)

[Luke J]

Surely use grind hard plumbing cos barby Jeep cart suspension for inspiration because that things a fuckin beast

[SarcasmGaming]

great video but can you guys make theses build videos longer?

[Joshua Mitch]

This thing needs good angle to, easier to park and more angle for possible drifting.

[AndyD]

Can't wait to see the coming vids on this build. I actually have a similar project with an 80's 500cc honda dirt bike engine.

[Chris Higgins]

great work guys also when you doing another video on the Chevy C10

[russell bennington]

you should go for a car racing steering wheel and a quick release hub & boss… otherwise you will have great difficulty getting your legs past the steering wheel! try NRG

[Ralf Reinhold]

Great idea! 👍
Make sure you start with the foot paddle and seating position. This is like pro car builders would start the build…

Fucking sweeeeeeeeet

[jason birch]

Ok. Look. Do yourselves a favor and figure out the correct gearing. https://www.randysworldwide.com/calculators/transmission-ratio-rpm.
Sprokets are no different than a ring and pinion. 10 tooth and 30 tooth? 3:1 ratio. You can find the trans ratios somewhere I'm sure . And lean the front of the frame forward. If you hit something straight on you will hopefully hop up and over and not just slam and stop(bad) .

[Peter Pan]

Thank you guys this is what I’ve been wanting 😁😁👏👏🙌

[Metalman 329]

Lookin’ good, guys! enjoyed as always! -Glenn from Mass.
p.s. why not just a welding blanket on the garage floor?

[55wfo]

like the project but take some time to do some design elements. the greatest part about fabricating is you can build anything. that square front nose could be angled in at the top or do some bending of the tubes. would love to see it come out looking awesome not just a square box with a motor. takes more time but looks great in the end.

[israel higareda]

Ike you need to work on your welding dude

[Sheldon Hall]

Might want to consider getting some scrap lumber and making a quick and dirty stand to get the frame off the ground while building. Might make it easier 🙂

[Ken Bergren]

John and Ike, you have built some cool stuff. This build is no exception. I see off road riding and then some street tires for a 4 wheel super moto. You Go !

[epic time breaker]

Your builds are always really slow.. make something more extreme!! Please..

[Benpatt43]

You guys should use a proper racing harness just to be safe. But other then that, this is gonna be a sick build.

[Donovan Williams]

Puts a bendable steering column

[Cheese _]

Paint it lime green

[Eugene Russell]

This will be cool.. almost wish I could be new again.. So I could just bendg watch it. 🤣

[Daviddob77]

I’ve probably never been this excited for a build in a long time… Well done boys!!

[Troy Crowder]

now you are cooking with oil hell the 550 Hondas are one of the best motors Honda ever put out plenty of power and they are not to big and bulky i used a 750 on my buggy but wish i would have had the 550 they are sweet good stuff, guys

[Matt Parker]

Find a quick release steering wheel, your knees won't clear getting in and out.

[arturo munoz]

Make a rotary go kart

[Langdon Dresser]

Run both the engines on the same kart

[Bob’s Barn Workshop]

Nice to see a 100% Cars and Cameras "Go-Devil"! I would have used the Kawie 650 engine, they're a BEAST! But the CB550 will be 'Fine'!

[Carter Iverson]

This thing should be all wheel drive

[Samuel Corbett]

You guys should make a off road lawnmower after this

[Ryan P]

Make it a 2 seater!

[Bloodlust]

What entry level welder would be good for welding go kart frames
