Haha, my cousin, uncle, and myself built one when I was 10...
It was scary fast, it had a 3 speed, I hit 3rd gear... once!
My uncle had a big pond that was drying out, basically just mud. One day I said "see if it'll go through the pond."
I was like "no way, I'll get stuck!"
His response "not if you go fast enough."
That was the day I hit 3rd gear... wrapped it out 2nd gear going into the pond, about half way through it I nailed 3rd and it came alive... spun sideways coming up the other side of the pond bank... At that time I was doing probably 30mph and literally went air borne.... sideways!
Went I finally landed about 20ft away (still sideways) it ripped the rear end out of the go cart and basically destroyed it... and that was the last time the go cart was ever ridden...
