You Should Build Yourself A Little Go Kart From Flea

Cars And Cameras

Should you began with a pile of junk you picked up at any average flea market in America, including a chainsaw, a hand truck, a toolbox, a circular saw blade, and slightly Razor Powerwing push scooter, could you switch it right into a running and driving go kart over the course of a weekend? That is the challenge that the small-bore maniacs at Cars And Cameras set out for themselves, and by golly they made it occur, too. Given a welder and enough bad ideas, you may absolutely drive yourself around with a small 1.8-horsepower two-stroke motor. 

It’s kind of optimistic to call this thing a go kart, because it is not exactly fast or good or secure, nevertheless it does exist and it does move under its own power. Should you wanted a bare-bones toy that may kill you on a very good day, built for a pair hundred bucks and a number of hours of labor, this is unquestionably the solution to do it. Just ensure that your chainsaw chain and saw blade brake disk have some strong guards on them to maintain it secure. 

Oh, this is basically, really sketchy

OK, so the $30 chainsaw wasn’t as much as the duty of pushing the contraption around for a full lap of the Cars And Cameras course. There just wasn’t enough power or clutch longevity to push that sort of weight. In order that they grabbed a free engine off the shelf out of their collection of detritus and got it moving again. That is when things got really sketchy. With a single brake and one-wheel drive it wasn’t ever going to be fast or good, nevertheless it definitely stops and goes. That is probably greater than I could accomplish with a limited budget, limited parts input, and a complete lot of fabrication. 

“It might not look that fast, but trust me, for a tool box, that is fast!”

At the tip of the day, that is just an excuse for a bunch of dudes to hang around constructing dumb stuff and doing even dumber things with the finished product. Don’t you would like you may spend a weekend this manner? I know I do.
