That looked like great fun Ed :) Which one was yours?

Unfortunately, mine was still unfinished at that point, so its not in the video.

By the time it was done, it weighed about 120 lbs, had a 4HP motor on it, a speed controller from a forklift, and pulled over 200A at 24v under full throttle.  Top speed was ~ 40 mph.

Oh, and it liked to dump you on your behind.  No room in that cube for wheelie bars, and the center of gravity is, well, not optimal. :)

Seeing this kart has re-kindled my desire for building a NCF Blitz2 but grafting a Hayabusa lump into it.

Totally off topic, seeing PBJs pickup reminds me that I need to continue looking for a pickup.

I haven't been around much but it's obvious within a few minutes that the quality of his dbaggery has really declined.  He can't even keep track of his own work anymore.
