Hahah very ghetto, but also nicely done!
Does it have a braking system? Any chance of a vid?

Looks like you need a new seat.... hahahahaha. I lol'ed at that.

Besides that, Looks mighty fast. That engine is HUGE!

Id paint it and weld some sort of roll cage on it, Just to make it look more... well.... Vehicle like.

Otherwise, I envy your use of a gasoline engine and not an electric motor. Then again, I dont pay for gas :D

Knowing maggotman he probably just hits pedestrians or plows into snowbanks...much more effecient braking. :lol:

Chill with the bandwagon slating.

Have you welded together a petrol gokart or made a small steam engine?


I'd wonder if the engine waaaay over to one side bothered it when turning.

I wouldn't be surprised if I had a few of those lying around my yard and maybe some empty 12 grams, sign of a spudder :D

That must be the most ghetto go-kart I have ever seen. how fast does it go? Did you get a frame or make it yourself?

I like how we've been moving more from specifically spudguns and slightly more over into the general design theme of the moment.

I have a little go-kart project of my own going on right now (why I haven't built any new guns). I'm buying a two-seat buggy from a friend for $500, and I am going to get rid of the entire frame. The new frame will accommodate a full body, an extra passenger, radio equipment, an improved suspension, and lastly, a gun turret.

AN ARMORED CAR.
Completed projects:
CA1 SMSS Basic Inline
CA3 PDAB Airburst Cannon

Current Project: Bolt action rifle (25x140mm + 1in shot)

"I'd wonder if the engine waaaay over to one side bothered it when turning"

I doubt it would make much difference its about 10 15kg and the seat is to one side to counter.

Just taken it out for a spin, i think i woke up half of Devon with it lol.
took it into an industrial estate drifting it round a block of factory's, well fun.
You relay don't need a brake the engine is geared to top out at 50 and slows it down quite nice, if i push it i just get valve float and lots of flames out of the exhaust pipe and a headache.
it makes nice 11s just pin the throttle in 3rd gear and dump the clutch. :twisted:

my mate took a video but he has gone home i will try to get him to send it to me. If i can get another chain i will make a video in the day time.

Also the engine is from an older Honda cg 125 the bikes got a good reputation for being bullet proof so the engine should take some ragging.

you think this is ghetto i will find pictures of my choppers i made when i was 13 lol.

I swapped the frame for a crappy ball valve cannon,
All this is just temporary i am going to strip the frame do everything neater, sandblast the motor and powder coat the frame and pimp it with a rev gage lights etc. I also have a aquapovic end can of a gixer 750 i am thinking about mounting it on the back parallel to the rear axle.
