That is WAY too much power for that little kart. Dude could barely stop himself from drifting.

He fried the rear tyres. I wonder how such a Gokart would compare with a superkart.

Yeah, it's the gixxer. Was hoping a new video of a newer/better cart. That video is at least 6 years old.

There is an actual go kart class that races a bike motor, its a 125cc, 28hp, nothing like the one above, but they are stil pretty fast.

and than you got a 125cc gearbox class, 6 speed and additional front brakes..

I had an idea for something like this. Useing the rear alex/diff from a flacon and throwing a 253 V8 with auto box straight into it, but with the diff at the front, and steering from the backso you sit in front of the engine, and move the radiator in front of you. temped to try but got no money :(

that's and olde but a goodie.... have also seen one that had an R1 motor init.... and a Quadbike with a 1300 Hayabusa motor with turbo. Oh and my personal favorite. A peroxide kart.... makes some insane amount power... i mean like a few hundred pounds of thrust... 170mph and in only 2.6 sec

have seen one that makes 1500hp at 85000 rmp... yes 85000
