My son's new kart

[joekd]

You leave your trailer outside one night and look what grows on it

Have wanted to upgrade his current go kart for awhile now, the motor I built for it is simply too powerful for that frame and overdrives the brakes dangerously

Went back and forth on what to replace it with, either another street kart or an off road on, he really wanted a big dune buggy style (who doesn't) but he lost that battle because I refuse to give up the garage or shed space for it and will not let it sit outside.

Found this one for a steal of a price so just had to buy it. Currently has a Tecumseh motor on it but that is getting pulled so I can put the motor I built on to it. Stock motor is lucky to push it's rated 6HP and spins 3600RPM max, my motor is a little over 9HP and will spin 5500RPM.

i always wanted a go kart when i was a kid, but i got dirtbikes and 4wheelers instead. how old is your boy?

 

[joekd]

He's 12, went into dirtbikes for a couple years then decided he really likes karts a lot better so we sold his 80CC and picked this up

Nice kart. My niece (same age as me) had a homemade one and we drove the living shit out of it. So much fun

LMAO Great Show. That is definitely one clean go cart, I remember driving my buddies when I was a kid. I was more into fast 250 YZ Dirt Bikes and Quads though. They are still fun and yours looks cool.

Here's how they use their go kart on Trailer Park Boys. (Some Gifs I created) BAHAHAHA!
