Well me and my friend are making this go-cart.. but its not an ordinary go cart...
It's gonna be a shopping cart
He ordered all the parts and they'll be here on wednesday, its gonna be powered by a 5 hp honda motor, and its gonna be 4:1 gearing. Racing slicks, disk brakes, gonna be sick.
here's a video of the motor after a few modifications to the exhaust, intake, and governer
The car was a little short so we cut it off and welded the front section of another cart and welded it on, doesn't look bad
Here's a side view of it after it was welded.. seems like it never ends lol
The Inspiration?
Powered by a 6.5 hp motor, uncomfortable as hell to ride, but fast as FUCK
The thing easily does 55mph, and it gets too unstable to go faster.
Here are a few vids I took with my camera phone they're dark, can't see much, but we took it out last night after tearing it all apart and painting it kandy blue
The aftermath of the testrun? Two lost keys, tons of tread missing off the tires, gas tank broke off almost causing an explosion
The good news, it beat a 3.0L ford ranger in macys parking lot, and its a chick magnet
