Two Seat Crosskart: Custom Front Suspension and Custom Tie Rods
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 авг 2022
- Making tie rods on the super cheap and adapting A-arms from a polaris RZR 800 for use on a Crosskart. If you have questions or want to start a conversation about the build check out the Facebook Group and if you just want the action without the babbling, check me out on Instagram. I hope this helps all the builders out there along with those building KJ Raycing based machines.
Enjoy the build!

You're the man when it comes to custom scratch builds.
Thanks man! I really love doing this stuff.
@@KJRaycing 11 I'm zzz him
feel free to drone on !!! this is why i am thinking about buying a set of your plans. You put out so much great info about your builds and ideas, and that is the most important part. Thank you for everything !!!!!!!!
Can't believe you don't have more subscribers. Your channel is awesome man!
Thanks so much! It’s a little weird to me too but I’ll keep driving on!
I can't wait tell see this 2 seater run!
I really like the info for all your builds! I really appreciate the part numbers and such for the rear axil and such fromm your other videos. I can't wait to start building one myself!
Please , we need more content. Lol I watched all your vids and am eagerly awaiting more on the 2 seater.
I had a day worked out to get the engine mounted and ended up needing to order a part 😡. Waiting for the next chance to get in there and finish it. I’ll get one out soon, thank you for the interest!
Prefabbed weld in bungs are such a time saver. Progress is looking awesome. Can't wait to see this thing move!
Love the bungs! And the smaller they are the cheaper they are! I can’t wait for that first burnout too man! Maybe you’ll be there for it!
@@KJRaycing I hope so, that would be epic!!
Soooo exciting!!!!
Maybe it will be running in September…..
@@KJRaycing if not, we are more than happy to get our hands dirty!
Looking great Kyle!
Thank you. I’m getting so excited about the two seater!
Nice work... I need to check out your other videos..
Thanks man!

Awesome work, I've been here for a while learning from you guys to make my own project in the near future. Just a comment, I realized that in the front A arms there is no the same distance in height in the frame side than in the steering nuckle side, as a consequence, when your tires move up or down, you loose your camber alignment. And I confirmed my suspicious when you drop the kart from the front part, you can see how the tires loose the camber alignment.
It’s called camber gain and it’s on purpose. Thank you for joining in on the fun.
I'm sorry if I missed it, but what did you use to space either side of the heim joints in your custom bracket? Kinda looks like pex.
Ya when u finish this I'm building one with a 1300cc busa engine for me and the wife.
When will the full list components be available? Thanks for all your Time. Can’t wait to start one.
I’ll probably just merge the components list into one. I’m using a lot of the same parts for both VF’s. I’ll update when I finish it to make sure it is accurate. You could probably just get the VF-1 component list to get started and get the update when it comes out for anything that might be different. I cover all the parts I use in the videos as well.
Nice work man! Awesome projects! One question, how do you know what shocks you have to use in your designs? or how do you choose them
Thanks man! My choice of shocks is definitely used. I look for threaded bodies for preload adjustment and I look at spring diameters to see if the springs can be swapped out. And obviously I look for good deals. $100 bucks per corner for a good used name brand adjustable shock is absolutely worth every penny. As far as shocks for my design; I design to have a lot of options for mounting and ride heights using triangulation and crossmembers. My chassis could use 25” shocks as well as it could use 12” shocks.
hello
i like that and and how much that cost ?.
Could you explain the reason for placing the steering rack behind the axle in stead of it front of it? (As it should be). Could you also please explain why the shocks were placed without taking into account the relationship of the shock and control arm angles when fully extended and fully compressed? I'm struggling to find any reasoning and think I should now find another channel that gets into the real geometry of suspension. Good luck.
I couldn’t imagine where I would be if I relied solely on youtube channels for my knowledge. It’s called research. But I also created a Facebook group for plan holders for discussions like this. I wish you the best man.
How are you liking the 459? I've put one in an old Honda Odyssey. No governor with a 34mm mikuni and Robertson's torque tube header, it's pretty quick. I'm running a 40 series with 9t and 60t. 23" rear tires.
I think the 459 is fantastic! It was easy to set up, it has plenty of power and I haven’t even upgraded it yet! The budget build is quickly turning into my wifes/daughters kart. Although I definitely like to get some wheel time in on it too!
How were you able to actually buy something from Robertson's Torque Tubes? Everytime I've tried (multiple different times about multiple different headers) to no avail! He always says he doesn't have whichever header I'm wanting in stock and that he'll email me in a couple of weeks, never does. 🤔
Una belleza este proyecto, cual es el tipo de material del tubo en este car?
It’s in the plans 👍
Well done. How much would building this cost but with a solid back axel like the budget kart?
Thank you. Metal costs and components you choose to use vary the overall cost wildly. I really wish I could answer this better. I can tell you this is the least expensive way to get your own high end build.
Could you put longer arms to give it more ground clearance or would it mak it to weak im thinking of making one of these instead of a rzr but i would want taller for ruts and more general off road
The arms don’t need to be longer… they can be set up with tons of clearance and travel and still have a 62” width. Shocks, tires and setup is how you get all of that. That’s why it is a “VF” for variable frame, you decide how you want it set up.
Total cost for all parts minus the motor? I bought plans: vf-2 build, vf-1 parts list and rear carrier?
I wish this were easier to answer, you can find great deals on used parts or buy all new factory fresh parts and the cost varies wildly. You can ask the guys that have built them in the build group since you are a plan holder to get some real world figures. And thank you for joining in on the fun, exciting isn’t it?
To get your track width did you use rzr 800 or 800s control arms
They were on ebay as 800s. I would have preferred 800’s I think. Not sure what the difference is in width.
@@KJRaycing The 800 has a track width of 50" The 800S has a track width of 60.5", The 800S wheels front are 4\2 rear 6\2 vs 800 wheels are Front 3\4 rear 3\5 , 800 RZR guys want to upgrade to 800S arms for better stability and 60" track width , the RZR 900 spindles are the same dimensions just have a larger brake rotors and 4 piston calipers, I wish I had figured this out before purchasing the 800 spindles. If the front control arm mounts is the same between the 2 seater and single seater than builders now have several other choices for front hubs and spindles but RZR'S are 4\156.I have 800 control arms already and when I get the 800S I will post measurements on the Facebook site. Hope this helps FYI , I am going to use the RZR 900 front diff and rear transmission on my 2 seater.
Would you say those tie rods are stronger than 7075 aluminum
I found a pair of 72” rods from LM-UTV for 80$
They are stronger for sure but aluminum is lighter. I just can’t weld aluminum with my tig
Will you have reverse? I've seen the gear box used for it, spendy..!
It will not have reverse. I’ve had one for a couple of years now with no reverse and it doesn’t really bother me. It would be nice to have an unlimited budget though, right?
@@KJRaycing lol right..! Some older snowmobiles had reverse. Might be an idea???
You could always do a starter gear off the sprocket and use in neutral??...
Where can i find These steering gear? I used one from a Golf but it isnt so nice
The rack is from Amazon or ebay. It is a 14" rack for a vw beetle. And obviously the tie rods are custom 👍
Where do you get your heim joints from?
Amazon (qsc 4-link) usually, but lately I’ve been getting them from 50 caliber racing. Awesome stuff.
Im curious on how the build for the customer has been going? with the 700cc quad
Well if I had been using my time to build that there wouldn’t be the budget kart or the two seater… it’s been hard the past year to find time in the garage and spending 4 months in Antarctica really set me back.
Ohh understood. I appreciate all the time you put into the karts and the videos. As long as you keep making videos I’ll be here watching!
Awesome, man. Thank you so much!
Hi, good job. Do you have gear back? If so, how? :) Tank you
Yes I do
@@KJRaycing how did you solve it please?
It’s on the channel… everything you want to know is on the channel.
@@KJRaycing what video please?
@@Dominik_Kopecny ruclips.net/video/-PRcnvGBgig/видео.html
Nice build,sir can i ask favor can you give me ang diagram to build go kart body frame.thanks
Thank you! Check the description for plans and links to other goodies as well 👍
How much for just a raw single seat roller frame ?
You can build a roller yourself for around 2k or I’ll build you one for 20k. The whole point of this is no one wants to spend the money to have them built or else there would be a huge market for these. Get in the garage and build yourself an awesome machine 👍. I wish you the best.
Pls can you list the things needed to make a cross kart
That is what my entire channel is, man!
His videos will tell you step by step
How wide are the seats at their widest point please? 😇
Well it depends on which seats you are using I guess. 🤓
@@KJRaycing I know. But I wanted to know the dimensions of yours so I have an idea of how wide they are when I see this particular buggy 👍
I'm guessing Yamaha power?
FJ1200R baby!
Writing next video
Boa tarde meu amigo teria como vc me passar a numeração das rodas e dos pneus
There are 4 wheels and 4 tires
Need some help
That’s what the facebook build group is for. Get in there and ask some questions 👍
