Great video! I'm going to do the cheap route when I convince my parents to let me buy a mini bike. At least I got them to let me have a go kart. I always enjoy your videos.

I have a Mega Max the company went out of business so I found Monster max front suspension factory parts but even though their both 212cc and same size the bearings are to large for my mega max and mine are to small to fit over threaded neck. Any ideas or suggestions would help. Thanks.

I'm not go to the computer just seen you on build break repeat so I want you to look up turbo Kart walk around. Sean N . KZfaq. And turbo Kart death machine. Sean N. KZfaq I like to see it on the dyno but y'all do awesome work Buddy love your channel have a 1970 Rupp but mine has a stock 10-inch tires & Rims 5 horse Tecumseh stock of course you know it gives me problems carburetor sucks . I like your videos on the Flathead Briggs as I'm doing old school man I'm 40 people don't realize you make some decent power with flatheads but this is the only way I know how to get ahold of you I'm not a big social media guy . I like the Mako 13 horsepower go-kart I guess it was the one that got flipped that's awesome cart just just too much power for some people though and two others a lot of fun keep it up buddy awesome videos

Seems a lot of work cutting off those forks from the cross supports, grinding and welding. Why not simply fab up new cross supports. Seems much simpler?

Add a front brake. Front brakes have more stopping power than rear brakes do and they should be used together.
