MythBusters Hack Go-Kart in Extreme Electric vs. Gas Test

To test the advantages of gas versus electric propulsion, the MythBusters tear apart a perfectly good gasoline-powered go-kart and transform it into a tire-smoking machine that's fast—and clean. Check out behind-the-scenes action and test results, then learn more about the electric advantage from Jamie Hyneman.

The challenge: Convert a gas go-kart to electric to find out if the quieter, cleaner—and heavier—electric version can outgun its internal-combustion counterpart. Here, Jamie Hyneman (right) attaches the sprocket to the 25-hp brushed DC motor while Adam Savage installs a throttle potentiometer.
