4:11 Conclusion

FAQ:
Q – How fast does it go?
A – It went up to 50km/h.

Q- What is the HP?
A- 6,5HP

Q – No brakes?
A – I actually did find a scooter disk brake, but it didn’t fit the axle, and I was running out of time to modify the frame. It was extremely dangerous, I do not recommend anyone to do so. Luckily for me my Go-Kart slowed down considerably fast.

Q – What is the song?
A – Can’t Stop Won’t Stop let me use their song “Up and Away”. Check them out : https://www.youtube.com/user/CSWSMusic

Q – Would a Lawn Mower engine work?
A – Yes, but it gets a lot more complicated and I have no idea how to do that. I really recommend finding a horizontal shaft engine.

Q- Did you literally dive into your project blind folded?
A- One of my first times trying the Go-Kart, I wanted to film a POV shot… I didn’t have an action cam, so I mounted my DSLR onto my helmet, which blinded my vision. DO NOT TRY, I’ve never been that scared driving a Go-Kart in my life.
