Are we sick of Stark swaps yet? No. I will never get sick of seeing vehicles that make less than 80 HP and atomic amounts of instant torque getting the chance to, and seeing how they react. But, if you know the Cboys, you'll know they always take their swaps a step further by taking the vehicle out of its comfort zone—as if it wasn't already.
This is the best Cboys swap of all time, and that's not coming from me; those words came straight from Cboy's own Ben Roth.
Shifter karts are the Cboy's bread and butter, and Roth credits an early shifter kart video going viral to giving them their big start. But you've never seen a shifter kart like this.
The lads had their mechanic rip out a perfectly good 2-stroke engine, which already made the kart a ripper, and insert the battery and motor from a Stark Varg. At the start, I didn't think much of the build because all the power was just too much for the tyres, and they were spinning up too much to put the Stark Varg powertrain to use. Luckily, the lake finally had a thick(ish) layer of ice.
Of course, in classic Cboys fashion, they studded the karts' tyres and let it eat. Expectedly, it was like a rocket, but, unexpectedly, it could do wheelies, and not just any wheelies, 360 wheelies. I'd never seen a go-kart to anything like this before, and we may not again, unless the Cboys gift us with another demon shifter kart build. Check it out below.
I don't think I've ever been so happy that a Cboys swap didn't end up trashed by the end of the video. But if you keep watching, something does blow up—would it be a Cboys video if something didn't?
