World's first 3D printed electric go kart you can actually drive! This really pushed the limits of FDM printing and many said it couldn’t be done. Others have made large-scale rc 3d printed vehicles, but those are boring! This you can drive! This go kart has a 8 hp continuous electric motor. That's like a 16 hp internal combustion engine! All printed parts are our original designs except for the steering wheel. Attribute below.
Sorry about some audio glitches. This will be corrected on the next video.
