T-man's kart's

[Bluethunder3320]

wow. thats insane!

 

[T-man]

Ya it does look like a blast.I talked to the guy here in town that sells these and he said that they are street legal. But I never see them around town. There must be something wrong with them thow because I always see them being sold.

I would also like to add that I have been watching the progress of alot of your guys's builds and you ALL are doing some great work. I know that school has just started and that brings alot of you down because you dont have the time to work on your builds, some of you are happy about it because you now have some better equipment to work with in shop class, however all-n-all just hang in there and before you know it you'll be done. Take it easy, good work all of you.

cool im thinking about building a cart, i got a few small easier projects waiting that i have all the parts for and everything, but one i really dont know where to start. also i have a extremely low budget considering im 14 and i dont get much money at all...
i have a briggs 8hp from a snowblower but i need to get out this stubborn head bolt first.

im watchin alot of ur vids just collecting info now pretty much haha good vids too
i try to make some youtube vids but i cant really keep up.

 

[T-man]

Hey thats cool. I watched your video on that bolt that broke I have seen that happen befor and they just drilled down through the bolt ( almost the whole diameter ) and rethread it, but in your case I dont know what to tell ya because the bolt broke so far down in. to bad you dont have a welder because you could weld and fill that whole up and grind it flat and drill strait down through it. well i guess that depends on the material that the engine block itself is made out of. The bolt itself is steel Im sure but the block could be the problem in something like that.

just watched your last vid, shame about the subscribers, i will be honest i dont watch your vids straight away, and sometimes i just dont have time, i try me best to watch them all.

Interested in this mini bike you mentioned, cant wait to see it started. Building one myself, it will be great to see how someone else builds one.

Keep us posted anyway.

sure, I dont have a tube bender so I'll have to do all angle cuts, but I'm sure I can do it and have it come out half way decent...I hope.

 

[Bluethunder3320]

ya like who un subscribes they must be total ***** to do that. and ya my motor can be fixed but i dont have any tools so easier said than done.

 

[T-man]

I'm not to sure who would unsub.. maby it might have been people that subed along time ago and were getting board of it. OR they were thinking " man, this guy is a joke " eather way, its not something to dwell on. When I lose subscribers it tells me to try to kick up the intrest base.

 

[Bluethunder3320]

well i dont see anything wrong with your vids i like them.

hmmmm, lets see

blood for ratings, oh people like fire too

If you're open to some constructive criticism. Here is what I thought the first time I watched a video. I believe the first one I watched was based on the angles on your Batman kart or something like that.

I think you spent too much time trying to be elusive in total construction than necessary. You have a cool product but you should treat this just like any other instructional series, give a 5 min amazingly informational intro to a video that gets people 1/15th of the way through something and let it stop abruptly and only tell them how to do one thing very well.

Keep your main page full of videos of your karts riding around, walkthroughs of why they're amazing and how well they perform.

My final suggest lays in editing, less portions with pauses because people's attention spans are very limited.

I do like your videos and I've watched a dozen of them but that is what I personally would do differently. I don't want you to think that I'm completely hateful of your layout but from my economics and market courses in college this tells me that would be your best approach.

 

[Bluethunder3320]

ya well the videos i make are usually about not much cool at all, i just try to do stuff to make them as great as they could be for a little job.

something that stood out:
you obviously spent so much time/effort building the batman "t-cart" you could make more videos like

-updates
-coldstarts
-little parts that were unique, explain their functions
-try new things, such as on board helmet camera/ mount camera on cart somewhere
-breakdown of cart, what all functions are and how you put each piece together and roadblocks
-reviews of products, tools, engines

theres so many more but the best way of translating your thoughts into words is always the better video i guess.

when i make some of my vids i might actually do it over and like recording a voicemail the more times you do it the better you get at it.

some of my vids are edited some are not, i just got my own account recently (used to share with friend) so i dont have a lot right now.

if you add music, you want to pick good or else people will leave comments saying that the music ruined the sound of the engine, etc.

 

[T-man]

wow ... thats what I'm talking about, great suggestions. Thanks guys
Ya I do have to start editing all the pauses out, I'll work on that stuff more. When I did that optimisation report on my channels they came back with all sorts of stuff on how to name, and tag videos so they can be found in search engines . just various things to do to get views, for the most part its working but theres alot to pay attn to. when dealing with a video.
HEY I forgot something ...... Has anyone linked their video with an anitation to my " how to make a kart #5 ??? in the insite section of a video you can see where traffic is comming from, some one has linked to that video and I dont know who it is, I cant tell. I would like to know so I can thank them. Their driving alot of traffic to it.

 

[T-man]

Ok so what do guys think about this one.

I thought I would do a video for the kit builders out there.

 

[Bluethunder3320]

very informationa-tive agh u totally messed me up

 

[T-man]

thanks , this one was the hardes to do because I had to get the video and audio in sinc.

 

[T-man]

Hey guys , Some one told me that I have some over laping and alinement issues on my site, like the add header up top is overlaping the line below it. My system isn't showing me anything wrong. does anyone else seeing things miss alined on my site http://tmanskarts.com/index.html

 

[Blazkowiez]

It looks alright from my browser, however I shouldn't be able to access this...

http://tmanskarts.com/test.html

 

[T-man]

no thats ok ... that test page is just a screen capture of my addsence ... I have to leave it up because of a report that I filed it has no real info on it , just stats. I guess I could take it down the report was filed last week.

 

[Bluethunder3320]

i dont see a problem unless it gives out security info and settings which i saw none, the website works fine for me too nothing overlaps.
