looks pretty cool!! I'd like to get a go kart just to play around with!

 

[oscaryu1]

You really should! And to think this started out as a 6.5HP Harbor Freight engine I got for $130! Hehe!

You can get used go karts from $150-$250. A steal. Start crazy-modding them. Don't blow a flywheel though!

Ive got 2 carts, one has a 50cc 5 speed 2 cycle with hydro rear brakes, dunlop slicks and laid back racing seat, made from scratch, the other was modified from an existing chassis and has a Honda CB350 4 cycle 5 speed, slicks, hydro brakes, electric start, and blows past topped out in 6th gear Honda cr125s like they are standing still, top speed is over 120 mph!

 

[oscaryu1]

I'd like to see that in video

 

[01blasterdude]

That would be cool, if anyone has some onboard video equipment they would like to lend to me, I may be able to arrange something. =)

I was about to ask you if that's an animal engine. I used to race go-karts for years. No, not the ones you find @ family tracks, the actual competitive racing ones. Looks almost exactly like one...lol

 

[oscaryu1]

Nah, it's not an Animal.

This is what the engine started out as with no mods:

From there... it evolved to what you saw above.

Now here's an Animal:

haha thats crazy awesome. but for all that money, i'd just put a cbr600 in it lol I:I

 

[cmattox23]

lol thanks for the research. I haven't raced for 5 years now..lol I miss it

 

[oscaryu1]

Can a CBR600 make 25HP+ on gas, and turn 9,000RPM?

(No honestly, I don't know )

 

[blasterman312]

good job!

 

[bigdblaster]

a cbr600 will make somewhere around 80hp give or take dont know exactly and turn 15,000rpm atleast mine did muhahahaha

 

[MXmaineiac67]

Can a CBR600 make 25HP+ on gas, and turn 9,000RPM?

(No honestly, I don't know )

try nearly 120 hp, and 12k rpm. lol I:I

 

[oscaryu1]

12,000? The flywheel has been lab tested to do 12000+

I think the rod would break first haha! (Poor billet )

 

[specialized7]

nope its true

 

[blaster195]

a cbr600 does not have no 120hp well it might im not sure but i dont think its that much
