An R1 shifter kart, the Gen 2, or the KTM?

 

[Traumahawk]

Let's see him use the shifter cart on Connecting Highway in NY against either of the other two! A solid axle needs an absolutely perfect track surface to do what he was doing, otherwise he's gonna be scraping pieces of his chassis, drivetrain and possibly his body against the broken pavement.

Yes, an impressive run, but anyone recall the H2O2-powered go karts that used to run in the 1960's? They are still around.

And the TV Tommy Ivo/Jack McClure altered dragster vs. H2O2 powered turbine go kart from the 1960's: http://www.the-rocketman.com/myth.html the true story! I recall reading the Turbonique ads back-then, and always wondered abaout such a 'giant-slayer.' Now, the truth.

Be sure to spend some time going thru the links on 'the rocketman's' pages, you will be rewarded with some truly amazing items, like the Hughes air-to-air missile designed to be used by the world's fastest plane, a version of the famous SR-71 "Blackbird.' I have seen one of these SR-71's up-close, and if you are a fan of extreme machines, this is the baddest of the bad. CA to the East coast in an hour? It did it! http://www.nationalmuseum.af.mil/factsheets/factsheet.asp?id=590 Faster than nearly any .308"/7.62 mm round, especially when speaking about for 2000+ miles!

I'm pretty sure "want" and "this would make a sensible purchase for me" are not the same

I totally want that X-Bow, though. I can just see the kids at school freaking out when I pull up to the building in that.

Have you ever-seen the pics /videos of the urban kart guy running illegally around some city? Not legal, but someone does it. And, we all marvel at the foolishness of someone who does it w/a GoPro to post it. Entertaining, but probably multiple reckless driving, unregistered vehicle, & ? charges, not to-mention confiscation of the kart if he was caught.

The X-bow looks like a great car as well.....don't get me wrong.

I notice nobody wanted the girl. Me neither. I want the bike. But here in Texas we Do have a lot of call for that driving that the cart was doing. Our freeways are full of it.

 

[MaxMidnight]

Would have been interesting if they had used an Ariel Atom as well.

I believe "Kart Vader" is the cat running out on the streets in the 125cc shifter cart, reckless and irrisponsible..........Yes...........Looks like fun..........Definately!................Tom.
