almost any 2 stroke dirt bike motor would be good, 125cc’s are plenty fast, but usually you can use the power instead of being scared it will spin and kill you
So what would you consider to be a good, usable size engine (or hp) for a kart like this? Im building a shifter right now and have not chose what engine I want to use, im considering a worked 250 for about 60hp…..
Sold the kart last year, almost ate it when making this video, thats why you don’t see anything too spectacular. I did 164mph on GPS before the vid was made. Its fun to build but extremely dangerous, it would spin the tires in any gear you wanted, or didnt want. One problem was you could never hammer the throttle and hold it because it may hook up at 100, and by the time it gets to 11-12 grand, it would start spinning. If you lift it would start swapping.
i put the clutch lever on the shifter stick too, much easier to just use one hand! and the 250cc will not do 150mph, not unless its a bloody fucking expencive engine and a bloody light kart, i have used my cbr600 on the road and against anything like a gsxr it wins hands down every time untill i start to lift off the throttle becuase the kart gets very light and frisky at 120mph and i dont like using it at over 100 anyway due to radiator setup
i have a cbr600 kart, that is NOT abuse, if you see one of these things in real life youll realise why, give it a blip of throttle and it can easilly do wheel spins
drag kart, how did u mount the engine to a kart frame? Also I’m confused cos I dunno how to shift the engine. Does the honda cbr 600… come with gear cables and a clutch cable. I’m thinking of buyin it from ebay for 100 quid or is it a wasta money. Do u think it is better 2 buy a rotax or tkm engine?
I built one with heavy modded cr500r engine putt clutch on shifter.I think it is better than behind the steering wheel.mine will spin and pull the wheels in the air at 60mph.u will enjoy your creation!
250 2 strokes are brutally fast, they do like 150mph on the top end. Essentially, they’re Superkarts, and they are insanely fast. I’ve seen them lap Laguna Seca and they corner faster than pretty much anything that’s ever been on that circuit, except maybe F1 cars.
where did you set up the clutch like did you put it next to your foot or on the shifter or what because im boulding one just like thhis but i might put 250cc 2 stroke motor and is this thing heavy like can it go around corners or what the deal
ill buy it for a reasonable amount im serious ive been wanting to do one like this for a while
