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.
-
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!

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.
-
When I was a little kid, I always laid town these and pretended they were a car. This is my childhood games coming to life before my eyes. Thank you!
-
When you were emptying the gas tank it reminded me a lot like getting a guitar pick that has been dropped into an acoustic guitar. 😂😂
-
Your knowledge of those engines blows my mind I love seeing someone do their work with patience and knowledge.
-
No matter how old you are how many kids you got how much money you got or what religion you claim when a man builds a go kart and it goes as planned you will see pure excitement always love it!!! Salute 🫡
-
I guess a lot of us thought about this when we were young, it does have a basic go kart shape. It was fun to see you make it a reality and repurposing an engine from a clapped out pressure washer made it even better.
-
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

What we all wanted to do as kids
-
I had this idea as a kid, glad to see it come to life. ❤
-
I simply love this build , it's the sheer frugality and repurposed dolly that gets me going . You have lit a fire under my proverbial (blank).
-
great video. very impressed with getting them engines to all work again and solving the design issues. look forward to more
-
My mate and I have been talking about doing this for the last 5 years, it's brilliant to see someone finally do it
-
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
-
I love this kind of engineering. "Here's a thing. That looks like it would be good to be this other thing" Then makes it into the other thing. Love it
-
We used a dolly like a trailer behind a go kart; 2 or 3 of us trying to cling to it while a lunatic friend driving around a street corner, dumped us all over the pavement. Good times!
