Ever wonder what will happen if you strap a large RC jet engine to a go-kart! in this video I do exactly that and the results were nothing short of spectacular!

here’s a link to the Insta360 GO 2:

I had this idea for a really long time I’ll ago but I was originally going to use a homemade turbojet that I was going to build, however, the weight of this, the sheer size held me back from building it, also it didn’t look really pretty.

I tried to keep it very compact, light and extremely simple, I think I succeeded.

as for performance it was pretty insane the acceleration from 0 to 20 was kind of slow but as soon as you had 20 miles per hour it’s a constant push once you hit 40 the push feels four times as strong and it starts getting scary really fast.

I’m totally going to set this up on a nice smooth stretch of road soon to see what kind of top speed I can hit, or at least see how it feels at higher speeds.

  1. This is some F1 engineering shit right here lol You should've toured the track before driving.

  2. The look on her face when he left said "we're going to the Emergency room today"

  3. I'm 33 years old, i watch your channel and all i can think is "I should buy a go kart", good vids, best wishes.

  4. girlfriend: he’s probably cheating on me.
    the boys:

  5. what size jet did you use? It gives me a crazy Idea. I want to build a tiny 2 seat trike frame and put 2 0r 3 on it to power a parachute trike instead of a gas piston and prop. I Do realize they are expensive But they are way cheaper than a few years ago and they are going to keep coming down. A power chute flies around 25 to 30 mph. I know it would work with the right engines because about 4 of them will fly a person off the ground hundreds of feet at like 80mphwithout wings. It might not be the most fuel efficient rig ever. Or you could take my Idea and go with it. all you need it to mount a soot and one more motor. Anyway if people want to see him or possible me do this do this Like the comment. It will be next summer before I have the funds and been planning on a prop powered one for a while. Oh well lots of research to read up on now. But it would be nice to Know what size the engine and the trust your engine puts out.

  6. Thing is sick!!! I can only imagine how weird it feels. And how did u loose a finger if u Don t mind me asking??

  7. Oh PLEEEEASE tell me there’s MORE!!! That was so fun! I wish you had looked at the speedometer a couple of times, I couldn’t begin to estimate your speed.
    Well done Sir!

  8. Collin Furze made a jet bike in his garage that went REALLY fast… go to his channel to see what he did to get it so fast.

  9. If you want to go full crazy you could try to actually couple the jet to the axle with an insane reduction gearing, basically what they do in turboprop planes. You'd probably need a CVT gearbox or something after the reduction though to keep the turbine rpm somewhat constant though.
