This is a great karting channel
Thank You 🙏
Liked and subbed. Learning fusion 360 because I want to build a go kart chassis
Awesome!!!
New Ultramax chassis is amazing. I hope I can get my son one.
Pretty wicked looking. I’m sure they tested the dog snot out of it before release.
I have found that ...I'm old now... and have gotten to own and drive Alot of karts... and kart chassis building is a Art ...when you hop in and drive multiple karts it's really Noticable how bad your kart might be or how good it is ... Some people buy new chassis every year ...some of us crash them and keep them alive for years and years and they do the same thing as a new kart chassis . That's why I love karts 🤠💪
Yes I agree. Some karts agree with driving styles better then others. A little something for everyone.
I love chassis design as well. My dad started running buller’s chassis’s when he came out with his straight rail in the 90s I believe. Since then we’ve been supporters of his chassis and engines up till he stopped making his last chassis he put out (aero). Then we dabbled with phantom when we bought a nemesis back when I ran the jr classes in the mid to late 2000’s and was hooked with them. Then bought a triton and a recon and both have been amazing karts. Currently in UAS we run a charger legacy, and this winter we’ll be putting together a recon with a bama 250 or 270 on it 😁. Love the channel ben! Keep up the awesome content!!
Awesome!! Thanks for the comment.
Nice you did a video on chassis design. It is a very intriguing subject.
I'm in South Carolina and travel to premier tracks within 2hrs from home.
Love the innovation in this sport
Agreed! It’s amazing the tech that’s in karts.
I’m in SC as well and my daughters want to get involved. Where should we go for a track?
Back in 97 when I first started racing I had a 1990 shadow gold. I won 360 heavy points at my local track. I got rid of it and I got 94 probe sidewinder. I was thinking that I was top of the class then. I'm 98 I bought a 97 Stratos LT2. That cart was very fast we started going to different tracks and winning. Had to quit for a little while. Sold everything. The following year I bought an ultramax can't remember the name we but it was a 99. Got in a bad wreck. Didn't know if I bent it so got rid of it. Got a 2000 twister. Rode it for 2 yrs then got one of the first Millennium karts. Raced it twice and got a divorce slod everything. Finally got back into it in 2019 on a PRC RECON. Great chassis once I got good tires we were up front again. Well I had the 2022 Millennium Fanatic dropped into my lap. It's an awesome chassis. We are going to Thanksgiving Thunder at GKK the 26th. Hopefully we will have a great finish.
Very cool.
I just picked up a 90s Jimmy White Chassis that I'm restoring and going to run in the RWYB class. Also I had a 2003 Rage Innovator that was my favorite.
Awesome! I appreciate them all.
Lol you used my pictures for Infiniti, i took that picture of the Helix, i hand picked the parts to build it, and took pictures for Wards old web store.
The other picture is the very first Infiniti we owned, thats an 04 R1 and not the Epic. The R1 started our relationship with Ward Karting/Infiniti that lasted until today.
Wow. I just google stuff. Lol. Yeh my first “new” kart was the prototype Epic.
@@kart6t3_ben Yeah I had one too, first one, nothing but spray clear coat.
Mike made us get off our XXXs when the production Epics were released in the fall of 06, as 07 models.
Those pictures actually were on Bob's, that's, I'm XXX#40
Just added a umax evolve to the stable last week from jc specialties... have it scaled and setup on the baseline numbers ... its #74 made in 2023... cannot wait to see what moving the bolt between the crossbar and engine mount rail to see just how much or less flex itll have depending on location and track conditions it'll show.. just hoping it isn't an overly tire sensitive chassis as some of the other karts of the past have been
It sure does look awesome. I’ve been on umax a few times and really liked them (Phantom just a tick better).
@@kart6t3_ben I've only ever had one phantom ..a nemesis and it was a picky girl on tires.... never could quite get her to where I wanted her... I've never owned a umax till now but have ran a badmaxx and the twister ss I had was a copy of a umax from what I've always been told the inferno... but I love love love titans and the slack chassis and t/o seem like their pretty sporty too . . My buddy Brian Lunn I think was a pantom guy there when him and Jimmy white were still running u.a.s. together
Love your enthusiasm! Are these oval track chassis?
Yes they are. I run dirt ovals
I still run a infinity epic. Good kart also run a demon chassis and that thing is the best kart I've ever been on.
Awesome!
We have an Infiniti Epic Evolution champ kart that we still run, the new Demon Asylum reminds me a lot of the Epic.
Mark is building me a kutless kart right now
He is a very creative mind
Ultramax has a awesome new design
Agreed.
Haha my son has an Infinity Helix. VERY unique design. When it's on its unbeatable. Problem is it's very easy to adjust your way out of the ball park.
Super cool looking.
The Panos is still competitive.
I’m sure it is.
Ultramax started out life as a no-name manufacturer that cloned other brands in the 1990's
Hmmmm interesting. Know of one or two that have cloned chassis before.
Have you ever heard of a BRE chassis
Sounds familiar but can’t quite put my finger on it.
@@kart6t3_ben I’ve asked around and apparently there was only like 3 made
@@ryanmannracing22 interesting.
I have a picture of Wayne Felch’s frame but suck at my phone and can’t figure how to add it here
I can post in community page here if u wanna message me. Kart6t3@gmail.com or messenger or something.
How much do you know about the roby kart gladiator chassis? Ever heard of them
I’ve heard of Roby Karts and think I’ve seen them at Syracuse indoor years ago. I don’t know anything about them other then that.
@@kart6t3_ben from what I know they were originally designed by one of the guys and prc kind of a stolen prototype I guess I just recently seen what at a local race track it was an absolute masterpiece it has a unique fully adjustable rear axle low cross to high cross is seconds I am going to purchase one here soon and hope to run all next season with I will post my results and share all my thoughts about the chassis. I know right know they have dominated the Canadian scene for the last 2 years and there apparently advanced enough to be able to work on short tracks and super speedways
I also wanted to ask you if you had some basic numbers you would throw at my 11 charger magnum. It doesn’t matter what I do it’s still tight in and loose off. I can’t seem to get the cross high enough maybe that could be the issue. It has a cross spindle that I just changed to a low cross. In hopes of getting more adjustment but it’s still tight. It’s very frustrating when I can hop on another kart and it just works how it’s supposed to.
@@timbaker6030 A basic setup I might try is. 63C 59L 45.5N -2.75 RF camber +0.0 LF camber. 1.5” front stagger 1-1.25” rear stagger.
Thanks you
how long and wide is a good/normal wheelbase for a normal not so competetive go cart
i mean not competetive
Hard to say. Every manufacturer has their own measurements and why they make them that length.
@@kart6t3_ben but could you sy what is like too short?
@@konstalehtineva5215rules state nothing under 39.5 in wheel bass
AKRA rules are online to look at, chassis rules are universal among all rules organizations.
Ben I’m struggling to get comfortable in my seat and wheel position I have tried moving them both and can’t seem to get it how comfortable are you in your karts go through the turns ???
It’s tough sometimes to get the right positioning. I will say not all seats are equal, I’ve had some extremely uncomfortable seats in the past. I do love the Nexgen from Phantom but it might not be the next guys fav. And who knows of there is even a better one out there? All I can say is keep trying. Set the kart on the ground at home and try multiple positions till one feels right.
Never comfortable... something is always off... buruning yourself on the exhaust, or hitting elbow on the motor... or your crooked to the wheel...
Trick testarossa. Look it up. It was banned by WKA because you could adjust it while racing. Way ahead of it’s time.
That’s cool. Had a adjustable LF spindle at one point. Still see them.
Olympic Testarossa. it was before Johnny Davis bought Olympic and absorbed them into Trick
I’ll still watch ya lol
Haha.
