Slow Rider on a Fast Bike

Spun a few laps in the heat yesterday. My son has trouble figuring out where to stand and get good shots--we've got too many trees on the private track. But the bike sounds good coming up the hill in the first second of the video, and also in the last second when I hit the gas after the little gapper.

Cool!
I watched the gokart video too.
I don't think it will ever turn like you want it to with a live axle.
Horsepower to spin the tires and slide is an option!
I saw a gokart with a Hayabusa on it, it didn't turn but it slid around real good.
Have you made any progress on it?

Thanks,
We haven't done much else with the gokart--got too wrapped up with the bikes. The kart will bust the tires loose with my boy in it, but not so much with me. The little Honda clone engine really makes good power with the mods--I wish I knew where I could buy a cam for it.

Look around for a Yamaha kart engine.
2 strokes are so easy to hop up.
Or, look around for a CR85 or 125 and make a shifter kart for your boy.
One of my ridin buddies used to race karts.
He's got tons of parts and a brand new Yamaha kart engine.
He probably wouldn't part with it though.
He does have a ton of knowledge too.
