I really like the set up on the steering. Everything seems so user friendly. Another great video and those Hoosier tires look was awesome choice by the way. They give it a nice racing style look.
Thank you. User friendly is exactly what i was going for. Not just for you guys, but for me too 😉. The hoosiers look crazy cool, i’m really liking the race look on one of these chassis.
Looking good my man! Just a suggestion, instead of drilling holes in your seat mounting tube weld two pieces of angle between the two tubes so the flat part of the angle was flush with the top of the tube. Then bolt the seat bracket to the angle. It gets very cold where I live (22° today) if water gets in that tubing and freezes you get a free lesson in how hydroforming works. Especially if it's seamed ERW tubing. But I've seen thinwall DOM split as well. Just something to consider. Keep up the awesome work 👍
Yes they do. I used the rulebook as a guideline to build my original one and i refined it even more for my second one. And the third one is following every guideline to be a full up crosskart. There is one crossmember not in the plans, but i will explain that one in a build video.
Wow these vids are the best by far you can find on utube like know one is 3ven close to the quality and information can't wait till it is finished what a beasty looking kart
You should look at automotive 2 piece collapsing steering shaft instead of a solid steering shaft. Not sure how hard to find online but easy to find at a wrecking yard and adjustable length. Like an overlapping male (solid) and female (tube) double D rod. The ends usually have splined U joints.
That’s the beauty of this chassis, when you build yours you can use all of the tricks like this that you know of and also share your experiences with the other builders so we can all have sweet machines! Thank you for the comment.
If anyone wants to try their hand at a custom air box, I would suggest looking up FSAE intake runner designs. There is a good bit of information to be had there. Coming to the U joints, you should not run more than 17 degrees of angle as after that it is no longer a constant velocity joint. If more angle is needed resort to a double U joint, having said that this build is coming along really well and I cannot wait to see it run.
Not sure where you pulled 17 degrees from... the ones i use have a working angle of 32 for a single and 80 degrees for a double. sweetmfg.biz/pages.php?pageid=10 It is a steering shaft, not a drive shaft. If this were fuel injected i would try my hand at a custom box, but being ram air and carbureted, i’ll try to use as many of the factory parts as i can. Thanks for watching and giving your input, it is much appreciated!
Hi Kyle, How tall are you? Is this the 3 inch extension cart?? I am six feet tall and I am trying to figure out which cart to build. Thanks for all of the great videos. Pete
Kj-raycing.dpdcart.com I spent two years designing and building to get the dimensions perfect. I’m not sure what or how much you want to copy, but the plans will give you the measurements if you look at the jig and lengths of the tubing. 50 bucks to save a lot of trial and error hopefully isnt asking too much. It’s less than a steering wheel.
it looks like the chassis is too short for how tall you are. the angle of your legs is too high. that-s no so comfortable. If the seat would have more space to slide back, your legs would sit more confortable. in order to do that, following your plans, is it possible to stretch the chassis to make it a little bit longer?
I think it is very comfortable. Sitting with legs straight to drive something seems very awkward to me. Instructions on how to stretch the chassis are in the plans and the video on how to do it starts here; ruclips.net/video/r2TyXSpIX0M/видео.htmlsi=SXxc4YUl7QpzmLoc , lots of guys making them custom lengths and if it is still too small there is an XL frame.
Oh i know right! 10 episodes represents 10 days of work, filming and editing take up soooo much time, doubles my work time. It would almost be done by now if i wasn’t trying to show all the steps. Can’t be in a hurry so it comes out perfect.
yay, another video. always look ford to it when I see a new one
Thank you very much, glad to be here.

Lol I was just thinking the same thing
That is an awesome idea!!!!! I will definitely do that from now on! Thank you so much.
@@KJRaycing question for ya, do your plans all follow the cross kart racing guidelines
@@KJRaycing if so I’ll be purchasing a set of plans

Thank you so much. I’ve put a lot of effort into building, and i doubled it when i knew other people would be building too 💪👍
GREAT VID BROTHER!! I just found your channel. I’ll be watching this build from the beginning!!
Thank you very much! Definitely let me know what you think!
Best race buggy ever...loved it so much.. 👍👍👍
Thank you!
Nice video I’ve been looking forward to these. I just bought the plans
Thank you very much! They are a digital download, a link will be sent to you paypal email to get them.
I BOUGHT THE PLANS TOO. GOOD LUCK AND HAVE FUN.

Looks great. Might just build one of these!
Thank you. I hope you get the chance to build and drive one of these cool little things.

Cada vídeo uma aula. Ainda mais pra mim que sei pouco sobre solda e mecânica.
I’m really glad to hear that. I hope you get the confidence to start building. The hardest part is to start.
Exelent brother
Thank you
Круто!!!!! Когда уже поедем? ))
BELO TRABALHO. VERY GOOD.

The budget crosskart series is the 3” stretch, this is the standard. Build the 3” stretch, it is perfect! I am 5’11”.
@@KJRaycing Thanks!
How tall are you I. 6'2" I feel like I would be alittle cramped?
Next video has a tall farm boy having the time of his life and showing someone else climbing in and out…
Where can we get some measurements at for the frame I don’t need the whole thing just bits and pieces

The fact that he bought that seat for 200 and it is now 288 is crazy
👍
🤜🏼🤛🏼
Do you think it would still look as good if I stretched to a 2 seater?
There would be no room for feet. After i finish this i’m going to either do a two seater or solid axle.
ตามดูอยู่ครับ
I have a question about exactly how much steel do I need
I was going to go with about 100 ft-120ft
It is spelled out in the plans how much of each type is used. Kj-raycing.dpdcart.com.
DO YOU SALE THE FRONT AND REAR CONTROL ARMS ?
I use front a arms and hubs from atv’s. Rear a-arms are included in the plans to fit up to atv rear hubs.
