Jet Powered Go Kart

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. C
