Is building a working LEGO go-kart every child's dream? Maybe. Is it every manchild's dream? Yes. I'd have thought that was the ultimate LEGO build, until I watched BUM's video and realized that building a LEGO car is actually the ultimate dream. But even after watching the video, I'm still not sure how feasible it is.
The lads at BUM gave the project a shot but used the bones of an old electric go-kart build as the foundation for this "Bugatti LEGO car". Of course, you can't just put LEGO blocks on a tubular chassis and expect them to stay put. This is a good time to mention that the folks at BUM are using giant LEGO bricks rather than regular-sized blocks.
To lay the foundations, the lads secure wood on top of the frame, to which they then drill LEGO blocks. But after that, it's LEGO building as usual. Based on the video's title, I was expecting a go-kart, but it quickly becomes apparent this will be much closer to a car than a kart. This thing has a hood, trunk, spoiler, and a roof, so I ask you: can you still call it a go-kart at that stage?
