Go Kart Re-build / Restoration

[Jbonn]

Finished up a 2 seater Yerf Dog go kart built. I added some extra goodies to this one like LED lights and an electric start.


Also if someone knows how to embed the video, please share!

Thanks

To embed the video, it needs to be the actual URL link from the watch page.
The URL should say watch somewhere in it if it will embed.

Hey, that's a pretty good video mate.

Good production values and usage of a stationary camera(!) no less. You're miles ahead of CarsandCameras (which should be called the Isaac Show, but I digress).



What you could do when you go into 2x speed mode is provide a voice-over narration to tell us what you're doing and skip the music. While you were sanding and using the grinder and a wire wheel(?) (see, I'm guessing because it was so fast), just tell the noobs what grit you're using and why. Tell them why you didn't strip the entire frame to bare metal--I'm sure they expected you to do so.

Anyhoo, not bad at all.

Kart turned out well too.

I have to agree, good video and definitely better than...cough...cough...others Internet ( not 1 but 2 that I can think of )

I thought the production was well done too.

I give you...

Nice work. Can you share gearing and what wheel and tires you used?

Great job! Nice work. If you're going to do more painting with spray cans, pick one of these up. It will keep your finger from falling off from fatigue. Holding that nozzle down can get brutal after a while.

They are a bit messy, but so are the new nozzles. Just redid a couple of grills, had paint all over my finger.

Thanks, I've always been on the fence with music. My other I did total choice over but it turned volume was low.

As a side note, does anyone know where to get these type of shocks on the yerf dogs. It seems like the ones on ebay and some online stores want way to much for a cheap little shock, or other suggestions of shocks would be great too!

Dual front shocks helps also i think your frame is a bit bent in the front where the suspension mounts meet the floor mine is straight

Gopowersports has the “heavy duty” shocks
