I noticed that too. The habdle will lose pressure and wont hold up. Plus how can you refill it? 😂

I tried a brake master cylinder vertical like that on my buggy and i couldn’t get it to work , you are correct it has to be horizontal 👍

That's the worst way to mount it. A foot clutch is far superior. It keeps hands free to hold the wheel during launches and popping clutch mid-rip. It's bizarre people don't think about the basics.

@@SportbikerNZ it's bizarre that you think this is some crazy race car with big power that you'll need both hands to control. Calm down, baby girl..... You'll only need the clutch to start, downshift, and come to a stop anyhow.

@@nicholaskennedy8173 Imagine how awkward it is launching while squeezing a clutch on a shifter that want's to bobble around as you bounce over every bump. The lack of noggin use is comical.

@@SportbikerNZ imagine how insecure you must be to insult people in the comment section of a video..... People have been using jokey shift for years. It's an awesome and practical way to mount a clutch. Come back to the comment section when you've got practical experience and not just speculating.

@@nicholaskennedy8173 Farout. I know some people are allergic to even the mildest of constructive criticism, but this is rich. Poor quality of character is failing to admit being wrong. Telling. Think a couple of steps ahead next time. To do a simple clutch kick while bouncing all over the place you're forced to faff around. Reaching one hand to a clutch on a lever that's annoyingly doubling as a gear shift which you have to be careful you don't accidentally knock it up or down a gear as you jostle around while steering with one hand... vs the alternative of simply stabbing a clutch with your foot. Let alone the ease and practicality of launching with a foot clutch over hand. Every designer since forever has put the clutch on the floor and it's not hard to think why. Hand clutches - only recommended by inexperienced people thinking it's trendy.

Hey

Fun fact! Yard Darts were banned in 1988.. so how old was ike in 1988? So 33 years ago... so your probably not older than 33 I was a kid when yard darts came out and were banned.. im 55 years old... your not old so I call BS

Can you not use paddle shifters? Having to take your hands off the wheel is soooo 1980's

Hey, Semi-Pro Go-kart racer here. On our karts we run toe out most of the time because it gives the kart a little bit more turn in, on the initial turn. We rarely ever run no toe, and never run toe in. We also run some negative camber due to the way the karts are designed. But generally more negative camber will give the rear of the car more grip in the middle of the corner. Not sure what Positive camber does since we never run it. For caster, we run with a bunch of positive camber. This get the inside rear wheel of the kart to lift easier. Its tuned this way because of solid rear axle., and it allows the kart to turn, and corner, because the kart would push very badly if the the rear stayed planted all the time. And sadly your original 360lb weight goal with rider is very optimistic lol, as we run 355 with rider on our karts with no suspension with a 125cc motor with no gears. Very cool build though!

@@davidjessee7701 Didn't someone get killed as it went through his skull or something? How did they not see that coming? They're like mortars with spikes on them when they come down. My dad said all toys were dangerous back then but people weren't so soft and they survived.

amen bro

The negative camber actually bothered me more than the tow. I think you want the tire vertical (wheel still a bit positive) on hard cornering, but might be wrong. This may be less important with a rounded knobby, but still I expect you want maximum tire patch under those conditions. And as for the wear part, have you ever noticed front wheel drive is typically toed out, rear wheel drive front wheels towed in. I expect this is to accommodate the suspension bend under typical steady state drive loading, say for somewhere approaching sustained highway speeds.

Hand operated clutch levers are a distant (very distant) second to foot operated in anything not on two wheels.

Not totally true. Lots of shocks come rod side up from the factory. The internal pressure will always keep the seals lubed no matter the position. I'd still look out for debris settling on the top of the seal and destroying it.

@@SportbikerNZ Not sure why two wheels is the issue. I would think this application is much more suited to a hand clutch. Now if you had more than 180 degrees steering wheel rotation, where you had to change hand positions in a hard turn, I would definitely agree.

@@MrJdsenior Hand clutch on motorcycles works well because 1. It's not doubling as a gear shift, your foot does that. 2. Your handle bars have very limited range of movement so you maintain both hands on the controls while manipulating the clutch. Removing a hand from the wheel during launches while bumping around, or trying to do a clutch kick while bumping around, is poor with a hand clutch. A simple clutch kick means wrestling the wheel with one hand while using the other to manipulate the clutch while trying not to bump the shifter up and down a gear while you jostle around.

manually rotating the crank or countershaft sprocket will allow gear selection.

@@billbry Yes rocking the go kart or rotating the output shaft will do the trick too

Your Drag Mower came out dope af too man props!

Glad to see you here Kyle! You closet America-nadian

Hurry up and get yours done

Yes, and toe out does that the same way a modern fighter jet achieves quick direction changes, by being more unstable, to whatever degree you choose. Their choice is an aircraft that literally breaks up in the air at high speed with loss of electronic control intervention, as happened once in an air show with an F117. Also happened with a prototype aircraft in competition that my company, at the time, was providing one of the system's sensor systems (FLIR). The air frame lost, but the sensor got moved to the winning aircraft, even though that was contrary to the competition win format, as it was hands down a vastly superior system. My father was systems manager on a missile interceptor called SPRINT (same company, different name) way back. They actually designed that missile to be unstable at launch to allow VERY quick pitchover just out of the gas assisted launch tube. It became stable right after that due to propellant burnoff in the first stage. Everything was designed to get on target as quickly as possible as they had only seconds to intercept a nuclear warhead coming in at about mach 10+. Look it up on YT if you are interested, and yes, first stage is about a second and a half burn so those are either real time or SLOWED down videos. Zero to mach 10 in about five seconds, burned incandescent white in the atmosphere just seconds into flight. Some serious tech for the 60s, and nothing out there remotely like it today, as far as I know. But since I am no longer in the industry, I could be wrong there. Lots of very knowledgeable people in this comment section...cool to see in a YT, and rare. Wow, that too got off topic. Sorry.

Definitely the logical choice. Alot of Motorcycle swapped cars already do that.

I concur. I'd make the shifter a little shorter, too, for shorter throw.

Yeah I got one and built a two seater cart for my son and I... The welding was way easier than I thought it would be. My best advice is to get a decent metal cutting saw. That was really the hard part because I only had shoddy stuff to do it with.

I thought the same, would be pretty easy to set the pedals up too.

Watts is the way to go

I said this in another comment before reading this, and agree. I think they might have to turn the rotating portion sideways, though, on that application, for ground clearance. I don't know that for sure, as I don't know all the suspension parameters, but it was a thought. My RX7 had a watts link in the rear is one of the reasons I am familiar. Always struck me as a better solution, geometrically, than the panhard. Of course, it is a good bit more complex to implement, from scratch.

@@MrJdsenior true the only reason I suggest it is because I had it on my bagged truck and no matter what you did you weren't moving that axle

.

That is a good idea....JJ...

I been watching your thumbnail on and off for 10 seconds now and I can’t tell if your getting better at paint schemes or not but it’s ugly and not very interesting.

@@jimmylarge1148 I can't say much about there painting, I'v never seen them paint

They did the gearing from the engine to the jackshaft from the jackshaft to the rear end it's 1:1 so a small gear coming from the transmission shaft to a larger gear on the jackshaft and then 1:1 from the Jack shaft to the rear end

Hehe layne

Or harder, depending on which direction you adjust it.

Pfft, no it's not

No since its not actually sequential but they made it look like it but with a clutch like on a bike but took the shifter and made it to a stick

I dont think either of you understand transmissions

because these chinese gear selectors *-hate-* clutchless shifting. i messed one of my 1n234 135fma engines doing that. bike was already a pain to get in neutral, now that engine would just try to drop in second when idling. with a very scary rattle to boot. i guess it would've eventually been able to do so if i didnt blow the head gasket and put it on a shelf.

A sequential transmission is the motion of just going up or down to change gears. You still need to depress the clutch to change gears like a regular manual transmission.

The zs190 is notorious for transmission issues. Clutchless shifts are know for causing it to fail/lockup. If it was a different platform you’d be right though.

True. They could actually get a fancy R/C car or truck that has the ability to align it and they could practice different alignment setups on that just to make it easier when working on karts
