Yes I've enjoyed it. Been wanting to put a motor on it but can't find the time :(

Thanks for the comment Jeff!

Bruh where can you even find 10 inch pvc?

@@teleblack2069 Check farm drainage stores. I got a bunch cut into 5" lengths, but it's so darn expensive to ship. I might try to setup a store on ebay.

@@YeahPete farm drainage stores? Ok then

Thanks

@@YeahPete I live in Toronto, Ontario, Canada any ideas where I can find? Thx

Search for drainage tile or septic tanks. Call stores that sell them and see if they sell the pipe.

@@YeahPete thanks

LamaBoy21 Hi. Thanks. Trying to get used to my new schedule with much less time to work on stuff. Will be a few on the but really great stuff.

It should be inner diameter. In the U.S. it's inside diameter.

They last way longer. Im guessing about 3x longer. Im still on the original pvc sleeves and yeah I bought a 10' section. LOL. Thanks for the comment. You can easily sell the 10' section of pipe on craigslist.

Go kart wheels have a different hub. wheel barrow wheels, large casters would be better. The problem is the current wheels arent held on by a proper wheel hub for hard cornering with rubber wheels. You can grind a flat spot into the axle and use a set screw to help with that. You can make your own wheels by 3D printing, using plywood, then sleeving with pvc pipe. The cheapest option is to repair your wheels and sleeve them with pvc if you still have wheels.

Mine were worn a bit before I added the sleeves.

I tried adding spray foam to try repairing one of those plastic Big wheels but the foam was too weak. It may still be a fun experiment to do with the grandson. Pretty bright idea. The spray foam may help the screws grip. Thanks for the comment!

@@YeahPete thanks for your videos

It will eventually wear out to the screws. When you notice the head of screw wearing away I would change out the pipe and screws because how will you unscrew it if the head of the screw is worn away? It probably would become dangerous if the pvc wears too thin.

I took her out for a ride yesterday. Does look like 1 of the screws is loose but it still works. I still have the original pvc sleeves on it. Without the pvc sleeve the wheels will wear down to nothing very fast.

you can try to wear down the wheels a bit more. If the PVC is out of round maybe try making a solar oven with foil and a cardboard box and maybe the pvc will be easier to bend.

Its 10 inches. PVC pipe is based off the internal dimensions.

I heard they dont make the wheels anymore. So this is definitely needed. Or retrofit some other type of wheels.

If you don't mind me asking why were using the sewing thread around the PVC? If it's what I'm thinking, wouldn't popping a chalk line work just the same?

@@Jarhead1313 I measured around the perimeter with a single string length. Then I folded it into a 1/3 length to get 3 screws somewhat equidistant.

I had the same problem. I eventually found it at a farm drainage store for $10.50 per foot and luckily they had a 10' section for sale. Many places you have to buy it in a 20' section. Best price online I could find was about $85 for a 5' section plus $40 shipping. I have a bunch of extra 5" pieces I might sell on Ebay depending on if it's worth my time.

@@YeahPete awesome thanks!

@@YeahPete I'm eagerly anticipating arrival of my DXT next week in order to ride in style with my kids and would like to be prepared with some sleeves but I'm finding what you already mentioned, 10" pipe is tough to come by, and pre-made sleeves are not cheap. Is the farm drainage store you found your pvc at a chain? I'm located in Minnesota and hoping there might be something similar near me. Thanks!

@@frozenfist3360 Was not a chain store. I was thinking about selling ones I cut but I think shipping will kill us. Maybe sell in larger batches or 4 or 6 to save on shipping.

You could, but I wasn't sure if it would make it difficult to swap out the tires later.

Not sure. There are lotta nuts on it, but just take it to ace hardware and they'll find you a nut.

Thank ya man yeah I just pick up an an razor trike but it didn’t had a nut on the rear wheels to hold them in place

I haven't. Wheelbarrow wheels might be a good place to start. I don't think a wheelbarrow wheel would stay on with the tighter cornering the rubber would provide. Look into homemade kart setups..

If they do it won’t drift

Anyone ever find a set of rubber tires for it?

@@mrericescobar kzfaq.info/get/bejne/o8B3aref2Mytg4E.html then he's putting the matching pvc sleeves on top of them

im 5' 9" 180 lbs . This holds me just fine seat is adjustable.

I'm 230 lbs and 6'4" - and it rides fine for me.

I'd try to superglue the cracks first and maybe use 5 screws per wheel instead of 3. If its cracking because the plastic is too thin from wear, I would use JB weld or culk as the screws might not have enough material to grab onto. Thanks for the comment hope this helps.

Yeah Pete were working on mine right now we’re using a bucket Instead tho

Farm drainage stores. Or a plumbing supply store. Call around.

@@YeahPete if you don’t mind me asking how much did you pay? Prices where I live are crazy!

I had to pay $110 for a 10' piece.

Search for any type of drainage store. Problem is you have to buy it in a large length. I was thinking about selling some of my extra online but it looks like shipping may be too costly.

Thanks for the information. I’ll search for a plumbing drainage store in my area.

It's sold as 10 inch schedule 40 pvc. Average internal diameter is 9.976 inches.

J’ai un pneu de dimension 7.1- 11-5 et ça rentre pas du tout dans un pvc 250 . Il me faudrait peut être un pneu 7.1- 10 - 5 🤔

@@laurentgigi2484 I'm not sure of metric sizes. Find an agricultural drainage store and take the wheel with you and see what fits best. Hope that helps.

Yeah Pete thanks you verymutch for your help

Might have slightly less traction with the pvc. Its a bit harder

@@YeahPete harder to slide or easier? thanks for the fast response

@@scatpack_cris less traction means easier to slide

Is it any quieter using pvc?

@@asbodo32 it's only quieter if you use tires for the wheels and use PVC sleeves instead of the plastic wheels but if you're looking for "quieter" drift triking isn't for you it's always gonna be loud

what if you want to replace the pvc again?

Thanks for the comment! Looks like Math Tutor answered this one. Somehow missed this.

Thanks for the feedback. I'll try doing a better job with sound editing in future videos. Part of me thinks it would be too boring with no music?

The music was fine , maybe alittle lower but not a big deal . Good video 👍🏼

@@YeahPete the music was fine. Don't let mean people get you down.

@@thingsdemystified Thanks for the support!
