    How much would it cost to build one of those? Just the electronics.

      That was really stupid. I would much rather have seen him actually using it for what a go kart should be used for. Going fast and handling well on a track. If that shit was designed to do donuts then that's pointless. Putting that power to the ground and driving properly would have been much cooler.

              Yup, the description said something about it being able to go 60 mph. It would have been nice to see it get close to that instead of spinning around in circles. Nonetheless, it's impressive for an electric powerplant.

                      Too bad they didn't use Lipo's, it would be much faster and last a long time between charges... it would also cost a small fortune to make, but prices will come down one day.

                          Going to give this thread a little life since the first video was, MEH... This is how karting is done... (onboard video so somewhat crappy)

                              Sheesh. A tech at MBZ I worked with had a few of them. I remember watching him build the trans out of punchboards, much like model cars come on... Thing would fly at speeds even I was skeered of.
