  • Jigs make builds better, easier and faster. Let's start this one right and get a good base for our chassis. This video also addresses how to make the chassis a custom length (more leg room for the tall guys) and common questions from the builders.

    Man i hope you just keep growing! You are going to make Cross Karts available for the average Joe which is a massive part of the population.

      Me too. I honestly thought I would be doing a little better than this after working so hard on it all year. It’s good to know I can just go back to my tinker time in the garage at any time without posting everything I do.

      I hope it works out. I had them scheduled to be released an episode every 10 days… but that did’t really align with the quick build part… my daughter is super pumped about this one to as she will finally get some solo seat time!

      Thank you so much! This makes me really glad I did the mass dump for the chassis instead of a video every week to keep the RUclips algorithm happy. This was always about you guys though. Enjoy building with your son, that is such a cool thing for you guys to do.

    Fantastic video on the jig setup. Your crossbcart design and performance is outstanding. Too bad I have aged to the point of its getting hard to get around and do all that welding.
    If I was younger that would make a great 👍 way to pass the time as well as therapy to go fast.
    Great job.

    thanks for video. I been looking for a project with my jd2 hydraulic bender. i just ordered a crossfire pro cnc last week. I might try to design mine tho . how long did graphing take you? i have bend tech pro software, but I dont have tons of time working with CAD software so buying pre designed plans might just be smarter the first time around. Do you have an estimate on about how many feet of tubing you used? thanks for the video and inspiration.

    • @KJRaycing
      @KJRaycing  Год назад

      You can get the plans and save yourself a lot of trouble… it was 6 months of design in cad, a chassis to make adjustments from, 3 more months in cad and a second chassis to make sure everything worked, then a few more months and adjustments for a third and final design chassis. You’re looking at an overall 15 years of design and research. There is a plans overview video on my channel that gives total tube lengths needed and a full walkthrough of everything. I’m glad you enjoyed the video, building these has inspired a lot of guys to build VF-1’s 👍. Enjoy the build 🦾

      @@KJRaycing I did find your videos explaining details, thanks for the reply. My favorite quote from your video was about fabraication and easy fabrication. I liked that.Probably the number #1 reason why i got a cnc plasma cutter(easy). I will use my better judgement here and just buy the plans when I get ready to build. I bought the jd2 a few years ago and recently got the whole Air/hydraulic setup from jd2.kinda wish i new about the rogue fab before i bought the jd2. anyways, thanks again.

      Definitely wouldn’t hurt. The standard chassis meets crosskart racing specifications for length, if you don’t plan to race definitely stretch it a little to make in comfy 🦾

      No where in the plans does it reference a “squared rectangle.” If you are referencing the video I say it’s a perfect square but it’s actually a rectangle where I made sure all of the corners were perfectly squared before welding, “squared rectangle.”

    • @rachellemeza206

    Where can I find the instructions on stretching the jig/frame? Is it just J1, J2, J24, and J25 that need to be stretched? Any other things I need to consider? Maybe I'm missing this in the plans.

      The instructions are included in the plans and I walk you through step by step in this budget crosskart build series. Set aside some time to watch each video in it’s entirety and resist the urge to get all of the info in 30 seconds… 😉

    Is it fine if my verticals are off by 0.2 or 0.3 degrees? Very tough to get everything perfectly square without lots of specialized clamps and stuff.

    • @KJRaycing
      @KJRaycing  Год назад +1

      Absolutely fine! The chassis is designed to be very forgiving. There are guys that have used 5” CLR dies when the plans cal for 4.5” if that tells you anything. Also the fab work you see from me is not absolutely perfectly bent…
