Couple quick tips to help with the karting, 1. New slicks, they’ll last a while but you’ll be very surprised at the difference 2. Look at your camber and caster, you can change the handling to be more/less twitchy and you can adjust the torsion bars located just in front of the fuel tank for chassis flexibility IE front end grip. 3. Look at your seating position, you want to be comfortable but at the same time distribute your weight evenly and make sure you aren’t flopping around in the seat. 4. Change your sprocket for more speed out of the corners or along the straights

"I love this truck. Can't wait to turbo it." The Garage Built ethos right there folks.

22:04 "Remember me" best part!

Duuude its not faaster than it looks. I thought the first clip of you on track was sped up. The kart looks insane!!!

he said "DO YOU REMEMBER ME!"

You should definitely get some exhaust heat protect wrap for your exhaust so u dont burn ur arm and definitely build or get a kart stand ! 👌

#17 is a terrible driver. That was clear from the get go even before he took you out.

What I cannot deal with when I had my cart is people not caring about you or your cart. They go around acting like the carts are rentals and I got tired of being smashed into people that don't know how to drive. This is a race where my money and yours is put out there as a hobby, not bumper cars. I will say that when everyone actually knows what they are doing, it is really fun. But that was maybe like 1 in 10 races were actually where I went home smiling and not fuming because I am braking for a turn and get side swiped by some kid that played too much nfs and thinks braking is done by using your opponents. And before people comment, I know there is rubbin in racin, but I am talking about the next level of idiot here.

if you have a set of saw horses laying around, it makes a great kart stand so you can move all around and under it

You need to scale all 4 corners of your Kart with you sitting in the seat. The chassis builder will have setup sheets for you to get your chassis close.

Biiiig hype for this vid. I’ve been waiting for you to send that thing around the track!

19:54 sick boardslide bro 😂

@TaylorRay That start up stance 😂 One of my favorite YT Channel hands down.

Watching beginner carting is so fun for some reason xD

I didn't even realize how much I missed the carting vidoes!!

Haha you sound exactly like me after something happens like that. "REMEMBER ME?!" You've improved a ton since your first season in the rentals. Everyone who goes up to 206's always ends up being even faster than before. Like Josh is one who has gotten really good over the past year or so especially since making the jump to the 206's.

Taylor is the type of person to put a hydro break on his go kart... drift kart coming soon

LOVE the Karting content!! It really looks faster than the rental karts, I can only imagine how fast the Rotax would be!

your so blessed to have a toy like that tucked away!

Hi Taylor, great job man! You definitely looked more and more confident and at home in the kart. Looking good! As far as the neck goes wrestlers bridges are what I usually do. I’d try to brake later and harder though, at the track by me just by braking later and being right on the limit I picked up 4 tenths. Great job man, I absolutely loved the video.

Hey Taylor, I love your channel and your videos. I race a 206 kart nationally at a series called Cup Karts North America. A quick tip on gearing, They make max torque at 3700rpm. You should gear based on low side RPM, shoot for 3500RPM.

One technique I learned in racing karts was to drag the brake more to make up for letting off the gas, that way the clutch stays engaged & keeps the engine in the torque range coming out of the corners.

Seeing Miss Betty on the grid (grid master, bright pink shirt) put me in the feels real quick.. RIP Miss Betty, we send it for you!

Finally only waited months to see the margay

Remove the front chrome torsion bar you will gain more chassis flex which will give you more grip. Run your rear axle spacing at 1/2 from the hub surface to the end of axle. Use a large and medium spaced on the front wheels! It will help you around track! My kart is setup like that I think you’ll like it.

I could hear the actual fear in taylor’s voice when he went into the wall and it made me feel so bad

Not sure if you didn’t record it or didn’t install it, but the yellow lead is a cylinder head temp gauge! Very good for keeping the engine safe in longer races and making sure you have a proper air fuel ratio. You’ll need to snip the ring off your plug in order to use it, the temp sensor takes its place. There’s also warnings built into your mychron for over temp and over rev. Also stay on top of the clutch and all the bearings, it makes a huge difference. I used to clean and lube my chain after ever race. Most importantly have fun! Karts are awesome.

I have missed some karting content man! I love the Miata and all the cars but you got me interested into the karts and I have been thinking about getting one

watching this 4 years after you posted it.. buying my first cart tomorrow cant wait

I would suggest putting an ankle on the steering wheel column so the steering wheel is more vertical. Makes for a better over all experience and wont hurt your wrist on the long run!

"Remember Me"!!!!!! lulw

Came for the TAY-TAY, stayed for the RAY-RAY

Has Taylor ever said what the deal is with that green street bike that's always in the background? Lol

finally some karting content, been waiting for this! Work at a track in the UK and love it

Awesome seeing track footage after while. Keep it rolling Taylor

That girl you bumped in 346 shaking her head at you like. "DAMN ROOKIE!". :D

Hey taylor! The lovebug story is cool and all and i remember telling people that story, people would always say The University of Florida made them but its actually not true. The lovebugs migrated to the US from Central America.

I race E-Carts in my spare time and I'm one of the fastest people at my local track. This video made me wanna race so bad lol, havent been able to due to covid.

Awesome Taylor, it makes me miss karting watching you drive, you are smooth, you have a lot of potential, not everyone can drive a kart like it should be, props, keep it up!

Remember me lmao love the vids

that looks like so much fun man. Thanks for taking us along for the ride

turbo the kart!

Find me a "high strung " two stroke kart that you need to rebuild every weekend. I have run everything from the Yamaha KT100, KA100, TAG, 125 Pavasi ICC, and stock Honda CR125. They are all pretty robust and you get out of it what you put in. So generally if a two stroke locks up or blows up 75% of the time its driver/mechanic error. Bad information wrecks the sport.

Tire pressure is your best friend, don’t be afraid to try different pressures!

Cart looks and sounds like you had fun driving it 🤘

More kart videos please! Very cool stuff.

You should build like a yz85 shifter cart

You have the exact same go-kart I have

Hell yeahh ! Was waiting for that one ! Love it , and god damn you're patient , sometime I feel like people are holding you back in the race's and its pisses me off for you ahahah.. But I think its part of the game ! Still awesome video can't wait for the next one .

SO glad I'm not the only one with a brand new Kart setting in the garage.

Great job! Loved this video! Hoping you would get to race it! Great job of being you! Only good things to come from that!

FINALLY!!! 206 karts are a lot of fun

I used to go to tire shops and get there old wheel weights and melt them down into bigger weights in whatever shape or size people wanted them in and sell them mostly to go-cart racers but I've sold them to all kinds of racers but anyone can do it it's so easy

Would love to see a vid of you fabing a stand for the kart or more fabrication on the kart

Let us see some more of this man!

I'm looking forward to seeing you at O.G.P. for some races in the future were not much further than Bushnell

love the green truck

I’ve been building custom go karts for a really long time so it would be awesome you would start doing go kart content, drifting go karts are so fun

Great video and fun to watch! It was funny when you got mad but I totally get and I'd have been mad too! Get some chassis protectors if you haven't already so your chassis won't get chewed up when you go over curbs or off track.

Taylor always remember when karting to look where you want to be.... Don't look at other racers look beyond them.... Keep them as a peripheral target and maneuver around them.... #1 rule Karting look where to you want the kart to go. I dont see you spotting the apex before the turn... you need to do this and focus more on the apex than the other drivers.... you will be 10x faster!

Love bugs migrated to the U.S. from Central America in the 1920s and to Florida in the 1940s. Not created by some lab or university.

Hell yeah slide them little karts!

Dusty Cobb Webb covered kart. Hyabusa in the back covered in black mold. 🤷‍♀️

Get a neck collar. It protects your collarbone in a flip and supports the helmet which really helps your neck muscles.

With the weights you can also put them on the front on the rails near the petals or under the front of the seat if the front end isn't giving you enough

Hey Taylor can you bring the rear track out a couple of mm a side will help a lot 🤙🏼

Word of advice in circuit racing politics: Do not bump other drivers or act aggressively. If you maintain clean presence others will respect you and give you room to race. The few that do not, unleash your wrath on them during the same session so that they know not to mess with you. Your reputation must be of kindness first, and brutal vengance if needed. That will make your journey much much more successful. Driver characteristics in circuit racing in order from most important to least: 1) Talent. 2) Politics. 3) Constructive anger. 4) Luck. Get the first three and the fourth is not needed. Neglect any one of the first three and you will need a lot of the fourth.

I raced Margay karts for years, best kart out there!

Oh damn that looks like so much fun! How much was the cost of the kart? I wanna look one up this looks awesome lol

Dude you're a pro. You drift the cornors and you're still faster than the others. Awesome video.

I love these things I have 2 of them and one of them has a 5 horse briggs that has a ton of work done to it and runs on alcohol. I've been clocked at 90 mph on it. Super fun to ride.

My boy Tokyo drifting up on the track

Keep the kart vids up, looks good so far!

would love to see more karting with the boys

Oh Mn carfull w that lead

You need to try a rotax or come to Europe/UK. Main classes over here are Rotax, Iame X30 and ROK. Minimax karts (the second slowest rotax kart class and second lowest weight/age range) will usually be 10 seconds a lap quicker than a 206 series (on a 45-60 second lap). Iame X30 is roughly the same and ROK is even quicker. There are quicker classes but these are the classes that are mainly raced in Europe/UK, by racers aged from 9+. The driving standards are also much higher, with drivers always pushing the limits whilst maintaining fair racing. However, when things go wrong, they can go very wrong and crashes are often very big and very serious.

Awesome video! I know I'm 3 years late, but this is amazing!

An alignment is much needed. A set of scales and an toe and camber adjuster would also help tremendously. A set of tires will last all year but having a fresh set every couple races is a good idea and if aloud by the sanction of racing your in tire treatment and torching them before races is smart but definitely alignment is key along with toe and caster. If it's done right you'll be riding on rails through those corners

Go cart looks fun ...you Need a hydraulic table from harbor freight to pu the cart on the bench or just work on it ... surprised you didn’t tig up a aluminum rack to slide the weights in

Pro tip run a half psi less in the engine size rear tire because the heat from the engine will heat it up faster (i work at a kart track)

All the kart racin'!

I get bump drafting down the straight but when you were bumping into the corner to 17, he was just getting you back. And when you went off the track 17 was just maintaining his line

Also, in cold weather, or damp conditions, lean forward on the steering wheel to give grip to the front.

We run Yamaha 375 class at hunterstown speedway. We make it all year on a engine rebuild. Good luck rest of season

New lighting is lit

Focus on smoothing out hands, keeping inside wheel up. Avoid countersteer as much as you can. Have fun

Keep your hands lower on the wheel, work on hour apex's your throttle, you should never been fully off throttle, comming into a turn back off to 3/4 if you have to 1/2 throttle but never fully off, make sure to always draft karting is a draft race especially in a 206 you dont have the power of a tag or even a yamaha, so always try and draft best of luck buddy!

Got some sparks there pal

I really enjoyed the reverse facing camera :)

a little late to the video but I used to race karts for ts racing (the ones who run Bushnell) but I did 2 strokes. couple tips though run the bolts in the side panel and rear bumper loose. karts are the opposite of cars and you don't want them stiff they need to flex in order to turn. secondly, tire pressure is just about the best adjustment you can make and you need to adjust it for nearly every session especially races that go till after dark the track cools and this will make an unbelievable difference. third, you can adjust the alignment in the front they make lasers that you put on the front spindles to dial it in but that will come with time. And lastly, have a couple front spindles, tie rods, and kingpins on hand because as someone who has written off a couple chassis that will be far from the last time you wreck and it will almost never be your fault. goodluck and have fun! when I did it I couldn't wait to the day I could move to racing cars and yet now I look back and wish i still had a kart!

I had a mychrone 4 I ran dirt and my dad programmed the light one tells me if I’m running too much rpms and one is a overheating warning light

definately need more wheel to wheel carting action!

Bit of advices hit the apex you gained alot when you did but you were not consistent and when on staraighs stick tight behind the guy in front and then when your within a bumper go for overtake and also good job I love karting too

#17 push him into the dirt with his buddy i thot that was a good try at trying to take taylor out of the race and #37 was the one who tried but lost control in the begin of one of the races and spun out

that was sick tylor

21:36 plus 1000 Shingo points

Bang up video Ive never seen any of your vids and it recommended this I also am a karter

You should weld up a stand with wheels that hooks under the rear to hold the kart up for warm up/ wire change stuff like that

Go karts are fun, but shifter karts are awesome 😮

First time seeing kart action .You definitely have alot of great content. Love bugs, acid will remove paint overtime!! Taste crappy too
