second run we tried again , and found the weak link. 50mph is on the horizon, maybe in a week. im pretty happy with 42, over 400 percent the manufacturers top speed. At the rate the kart is pulling amps to do this the silly 12ah batteries give us a small window of opputunity.. the next setup will allow for better acceleration and numerous attempts, although i think we will need just 1



if you dont think it was 42, we have another video that was a different angle on 2nd attempt today.,he was carrying 2 gps devices, not much more we can do.

Fantastic! You went so fast it broke the phone!

Was the weak link the batteries? Were they just sagging too much under load? I notice our 12v 15ah SLAs sag like a mofo at WOT.

lmao, yes the g's broke the phone , and yes the amp load just kills the batteries and on run 2 we had no power at all past 39, no pull at all , im gonna rig 21 ah parallell series for next test, should do 45 plus i hope.. we will have better acceleration and not need as much runway as the kart under full throttle geared for 69 stalls when pegged until you hit 15-20.. Basically he will be able to really give it the beans out of the corner and not have to be at a specific speed .50 will be tough either way, but entirely possible for 1 or 2 runs.he didnt hear me yell go as that says something lol.

also, if i had 4 35ah batteries sitting around this would be a reliable daily driver 50 plus mph driver, but im not spending another 240 on this specific project as i need to carry it on occasion and adding 100 lbs would kill me,

42 will remain tops , the 21ah batteries set up made this thing an absolute beast, hit the throttle at 20 and it pegged u to the seat , sadly the steering was just too scary for anyone to really go for 50 , but the kart could do it easily.on a better platform the yk43b combined with an industrial motor can get you highway speeds, just dont try it on the razor dune buggy , video later.
