750cc Cross Kart vs. 900cc Ducarti Go Kart | MAD THRASH!

The showdown we've all been wating for! Our 900cc Ducati powered go kart dubbed the Ducarti against our custom built Honda 750cc Stormtrooper cross kart. Ducarti makes 85 horsepower compared to the cross kart's ~60, but the cross kart has much better tires for off road racing. Unfortunately, the clutch on the Ducarti breaks midway through our comparison, so this episode turns into a trash test for the cross kart, and it does great!

DUCARTI WAS INSANE while it lasted! Time to throw a new clutch on it (with a cover this time) and do it again!
Damn it John quit shifting like that
CarsandCameras you should put the Ducati in the kart
"you were hittin me with dirt it just felt like a _sandstorm"_ Well, I guess you could say that was _da-rude_ thing to do when racing on dirt.
this is an underrated comment
Ha... ha... ha...
😂😂😂
Damn, sucks about the Miata, glad you're okay John! Merry Christmas to you, Isaac and all your families!
You guys really need to get a bigger set of carbs or just more carbs because that thing (Cross Kart)is starving for more powa baby
Alex Christian facts
And bigger Tires would be awesome
This is C and C man! This just ain't no B for Build! This is normal guys shit here, yea! You know the ones that don't think they gotta have all that fake feminine testosterone going on
And they arn't using the clutch and gears properly to keep it in the power band
bob dillon yea but it is probably a very small range with the air and fuel mix so I don’t blame them for not getting it perfect
Merry Christmas guys enjoy the holidays and thanks for a bunch of awesome videos over the past year it's been a blast following you. Much love from New Zealand
I say swap the Ducati engine into the cross kart it needs more power. That 750 would go perfect in the smaller frame.
750 is way to big
cross kart is 900cc :) They should make a second cross kart
I agree!
A 900 Ducati has less power than a 700 inline 4
@No Limit Brian Are you serious? Incoming meme: *oh, hell no!*
Thank you so much for the upload today so much appreciated I love your guys channel and the stuff you guys do it’s just amazing and awesome I always am pumped up for the next upload so keep them coming and merry Christmas
Glad you're ok man. Conhrats on the new place! Can't wait to see it! And the C10 videos!!
My ol 'CB750 ,she was a beast!! I could get 90mph in 2nd gear & not be redlined. Fellas y'all need them 4carbs installed and set . That'd open a whole new power plant I'm almost positive. Now don't get me wrong, I'm not hating on ur project in no way! Just tryna help get optimal performance out of it! To be honest I'm tired of seeing them dam raptors pull in front of you when runnin them. That cart should F'ing smoke'em. I'm confident in time it'll happen. You can do it😎👍🏼..
It is so far down on power it is a joke as it sits.
legend has it, they will never see this. jk hopefully
@@thercdude9382 ,.. yep,.. nah they pretty good about replies. ;)
Desmo time on that Ducati! A clutch rebuild and the desmo service will have that engine back up to its 85hp glory lol. Cover the clutch this time tho... As for the cross cart, the thing absolutely looks like it's a blast. I do really wish it was hooking up with all of its ponies, but it's still doing alright for itself. Can you spare it some grease? Sounds like it's trying to make babies.
The cross kart would working amazingly well on some ATV tires. I am sure that John and Ike could fabricate up some hubs that would work with the current suspension set up.
Great video guys love your builds... keep up the videos I’ll keep watching!!! Marry Christmas guys
I knew this was coming. Only a matter of time lol been waiting for this. Nice job guys
I’ve just sat and watched this entire series from start to finish. Amazing
awesome video guys, can't wait to see the ducarti back up and running again, so you can do this all over again. hope to see another awesome video soon!!! Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!!
Thanks, guys, that was a lot of fun. Your head to head videos are epic.
Great video guys. Merry Christmas. I only discovered your channel this year and it's made it a good one. Hope you had as much fun making it as I had watching it. Hope to make it to mini mayhem some time.
Enjoyed the video. Thanks for sharing and Merry Christmas to both of you and your family.
Love what y'all do, Merry Christmas!
Just wanted to say keep making great videos Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
j- sorry to hear about your crash bro, i got t-boned back in june, totaled my rare mk2 jetta pirelli coupe and landed me in the hospital, im still recovering. so its good to see you up and going. the karts look great, im so impressed with how the cross kart handles the rough terrain, you guys really did hit a sweet spot on that chassis layout. i hope to see the ducarti back soon, but i do really wanna see that motor get some love before that happens. hope you and ike have a happy holiday!
Merry Christmas Jon, Isaac, and to the rest of the Cars and Cameras fam. Please stay safe so we can keep getting awesome vids in 2020!
Y’all need to turn a shopping cart into a go cart. It would be a funny, experimental episode and I think people would love it (including me).
Sorry to hear about your car john, I hope everything goes good with it and hopefully getting it fixed, get video always love watching them and you and Ike have a good Christmas and happy new year as well!!
Yeah now it's time to upgrade to a truck like a man
Since John especially seems to struggle with the left hand shifter for the cross cart and instead of paddle shifters, why not a left paddle clutch and a left foot shifter so it’s very similar to a motorcycle. Just a thought! Love the videos! Hopefully not RIP for the Miata!
On the cross cart you guys should make a few grease fittings for the suspension, she sounds extra creaky. Also glad everyone is ok, an auto body is a lot easier to fix than having recurring neck issues or worse so that's a blessing I'd say. Merry Christmas to you and yours!
Glad I found the channel I actually went back and watched them all. Including it'll be fine channel. Merry Christmas guys and happy New Year.
Thanks. Merry Christmas
Cross kart needs some.decently sized tires. The tiny set up is goofy.
It's a kart.... It's supposed to have small tires
Looks like paddles would do the trick
Brad Stream fax bro
this is a cross cart kzhead.info/sun/dZqgd75lqV9jraM/bejne.html
And a motor that isn’t still an absolute piece...
Merry Christmas guys and happy New year!! Looking forward to what's in store for 2020!!
Oh my thank you guys this is early Christmas!!!!!!! Yo just what I asked for this is awesome
Merry christmas ike and john and happy new year! Sorry to hear about the miata bt glad your ok.
That was so awesome. Just wished the ducote would have lived a little longer. Great job keep it up and Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas guys. Keep on keeping on.
Glad you're OK, you can always fix the car! Merry Christmas John and Ike, hopoe it's a good one. Congrats on the house John, looking forward to videos on the C-10!
Merry Christmas to all, sorry to hear about your Miata I’m glad you’re ok, and congrats on your new home
Always excited for new video. Been here since the early days boys. The cross kart has turned out so F-ing sick and has probably been my favorite build to follow.
Thanks
Happy Holidays guys enjoyed the video take care and of course thumbs up
holy shit the ducarti is awesome, glad to hear you ok dude happy holidays to all.
John and Ike, Merry Christmas. Keep building and riding cool stuff. Very sorry about your Miata , John. Glad you were not hurt
I feel like a drone is in order for '20 carsandcameras..... Awesome as always guys!
I was in this video and didn’t even notice you guys filming! Nice meeting you guys out there hopefully will see cars and cameras out again sometime.
Running lap times against each other, that looks like a blast 👍
MERRY CHRISTMAS YOU GUYS AND FAMILY keep up the good videos
Great channel...Merry Christmas! Brother Gabriel!
Merry Christmas guys have a great Christmas and a very Happy New Years. Wish the Ducati lasted longer but with the love you have planed it might even have more power after the upgrades.
Great series! Thank you.
Cross Kart squeaks like a D9.
John! and Isaac Merry Christmas. Love all the videos you guys are putting up here. It's because of you, my golf cart is going to get a Liquid cooled 440cc Kawasaki Upgrade....lol...THANK YOU!!!
Thanks.
Good holidays for you and Isaac and everyone watching the video too
throw some sand paddles on the rear of the cross kart and she'll hook on the drag race, but she looks like a total blast to run, also you might look into a VW "cylinder head temp" gauge from someone like Napa or advanced auto parts, someone local to you like that, since VW engines are oil/air cooled it might work for you to help keep an eye on the engine temps, also, glad you are okay and nobody was hurt in the accident with the distracted driver, happy holidays to you and Ike and your families and looking forward to more shenanigans in 2020
I remember you guys talked about using that motor for the kross kart, would be cool to see how both motors worked swapped around.
Hey guys I would love to see you beef up the axle in the drag rail and put the Ducarti on it and take it to Galot dragstrip. That would be awesome. Love your channel keep up the great job and congratulations to John for buying a new home and once you get the Miata fixed she will as good as new. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
So sorry to hear about your accident John. Same thing happened to me, rear-ended by a texting driver in a SUV. Totaled my TDI Beetle which I had just put $3500 worth of parts and upgrades into. It was a long fight with the at-fault insurance company as well and I ended up buying the car back with the intention of fixing it. Good luck I hope everything goes ok with the Miata, and glad nobody was hurt.
Awesome content guys. Big up from South Africa.
WOW! excellent face off! Merry Christmas guys...
So after watching the cross Kart go around and around I think it needs a rear spoiler. Would look look good. And would be functional.
Guys move the shifter forward on the cross cart it might help with the weird cross over shifting john is doing, as well as making it easier to shift. I love them both, they are sick, but I would defo have the cross cart such a cool set up
Or john could just shift with his left hand like a real jdm bro
I was thinking the same thing. This boy needs to shift with his left hand
You two have a great holiday season for you and your families!
Love the video guys keep it up
Been here since the 212 pumpkin chunker 💪🏼 love this channel
2 different machines. Both so awesome. Great job
Thanks
Great thrashing and Merry Christmas guys
Maybe one day I could catch you guys at Busco. I'm currently building a buggy myself. Love the Cross Kart.
Best go kart builds I've EVER SEEN!!! hurts to see then gettin it in the sand tho
Merry Christmas to you and Issac.
Sucks about the accident, but I love your channel I've got a '82 magna v-45 that I want to make a crosskart out of you guys are an inspiration
Merry Christmas!Fantastic job,be safe!-Dan
Damn. Bummer on the miata. But congrats on the house, man! Hopefully it includes the new shop that we've heard about?
oh yah merry Christmas you dorks i love ya.
Awesome video guys keep it up love that cross cart but do you have any update on the rail
Great video!! Again I STRONGLY suggest you get BLUETOOTH in your melon covers so you and us the viewers could hear you two communicate back and forth in REAL RACE TIME...
Merry Christmas to my local NC fellas hope you guys have a great day!!
Very cool guys keep it up gentleman. 👍
Merry Christmas!
Glad to see/hear that you are alright John, you could always replace the Miata. Heck someone might just give you one😉 That Ducarti is a Monster. My Fav for sure
Grease fittings on the control arms. The cross kart was quite squeaky. Merry Christmas and someone may of already mentioned about greasing the suspension I just didn't want to comb through the 400 an something comments.
Ike’s “excited face” cracks me up every time 😂
Less spinning more wining great video merry christmas
hey john... I am very sorry for you,because the Miata... I know how bad such things hurt. I hope you and the Miata get well soon:-) Otherwise just try a S2000.... ;-) because it's honda maaaan .... Dudes I really love your channel. Its always nice to have a beer and watch your latest vid. And to Isaac from one Mechanic to another: It will be fine dude!
Love me that Ducarti. That and the rat rod wagon are my favs
Merry Chistmas! bummer about miata glad you're ok. maybe re--visit 4 carbs on cross cart in future.
You guys are really putting out great content. I wonder if the Ducarti would benefit from mufflers like the cross kart did?
the cross cart needs better mufflers because the ones we have now is choking it now
The Ducati engine is designed for a 2 into 1 exhaust set up and is pretty sensitive to header length and the such for absolute performance. Maybe they can fit a proper exhaust system on it after they do the desmo service. The Crosskart is doing better with its exhaust, but it's not the best of designs. I guess it boils down to are they having fun as the bottom line. It should be about fun. I've seen them go from very basic bolting a random engine onto a race kart frame and racing each other around the yard, to all of this madness lol. I'm sure down the road that while it might not be these builds, there will be very performance driven builds. It's all about growth.
See that's the problem these engines are from the 80s and they're built a specific way if you want to upgrade your shit buy a crashed sport bikes those guys don't know how to ride them and so they readily available
@@motorcyclemechanic. I think the ducati is from the 90's. Probably comes off the 900 super sport.
@@riorica1 IIRC, the engine came out of a 900 monster. Same engine and setup as the supersport, except for the tuning. And that beautiful Italian desmo exhausts each cylinder into its own can, without crossovers, so Ike and John can easily find exhaust options, for those who mentioned it.
Murray Christmas everybody!
LMAO that was ah extremely fun 😂😂😂 love it
So much fun.looks blast to drive 💯👊👍💪
You guys really need to make a few of the cross karts and market them. . . it is awesome.
Man the rooster ails from the Ducarti were spectacular!
Glad you are ok. Sorry about the car. I have had 2 of those and loved them. First one was totaled in a wreck. Miss that one the most.
I'd love to see the crosscart get a huge suspension upgrade and big sand tires
That’s their idea of big tires.
Y’all need to add some grease fitting on some hymns sounds like on the crosskart little squeaky. But it runs great.
I love your awsome videos
What would be awesome is to see the cross cart with paddle tires! The Ducati needs a little work!
Look at the Miata incident as a god-given reason to build the first cars and cameras street legal go-kart
Nicholas Self Miata's definitely qualify as street legal gokarts 😃
Happy New year John and Ike
how come i never saw this legendary video
Yes cant wait for the c10 video
Great video guys.I have a spider box yerf dog and I would love to put a street bike engine on it.
You ought to build a shell around the moter on the Ducati whith a air intake scoop so it keep sand out and whatever else may get in there but a one peice fiberglass peice to go over and lock on by pins and a scoop like a funny car style a lil rounded .but god that thing boogies lol anyways till next vid godbless
Krosskart 2.0 ..ducati powered is the only alt. For the Ducarti. The crosskart is super cool minus the squeak...
Docarty need shocks. I could not take that beaten.. I pick the Cross Cart it looks Fun!!
