My Yerf Dog go kart's first time out after mods. Beating on it to find weaknesses, and I found a few ;-) All the fun ended when the CVT belt disintegrated and went up in smoke (at end of video). I was doing donuts for 2-3 minutes non-stop before this video was made, as well as some moderate drifting. Like I said- beating on it to find weaknesses. This video really doesn't show how mean I was to this thing. The $220 torque converter has been installed and in use for maybe an hour total. I don't think it was designed for this sort of abuse :-) I hope the belts are cheap! Modifications: Converted to single seater/center driver, racing seat, hubs to mount 18"x8.5"-8" golf cart wheels/tires, hydraulic disc brake kit, electric start 13HP GX390 clone with custom high-flow exhaust, torque converter (CVT). With 11HP GX340, 42-tooth sprocket, and centrifugal clutch: 55MPH top speed. Currently with 13HP, 52-tooth sprocket, and CVT: No recorded data yet.
