Broke it......

[Julian]

Well After some VERY hard offroading and jumping I finally managed to breakt he engine mount on the kart, the weld is ompletely broken and so is part of the plate... time for a new 5mm plate. Used to have a 3.5hp engine and it could not survive the 6.6 I added.

I think the plate looks like garbage and it is too thin, so good riddance!
That's honest wear and tear so it's all good.

Show us where you ride the kart and inflicted all this damage.

And then when you fix it, let's see some videos of these jumps. LOL

By jumps I just mean riding over rocks and bumps and having the kart kinda bump around. I dont have any other footage but I did go offrading on a really rocky trail.

I love that video. The slo-mo laughing when their friend might be dead makes the whole video.

Those look sick and I heard an FL-350 Odyssey will roast a Pilot.

tbh id rather land like that than land on the front steering and completely wreck it. I also think I would get decapitated on mine since it has no roll cage P

I used to "Fly" My FL350 Odyssey all the time.
The Pilots were Faster, but the FL350 had better suspension.
This was in the late 80s So no Footage or Pics Sorry.

Imagine this, I was a 90lb 13 year old. That thing was like riding on auto pilot. It could not even tell there was a driver on board!

Yeah The kart is pretty light with my 50kg self.

Anyway I think the new 5mm plate will be much better.
