How to build an Inexpensive Crosskart

That's going to be a lot more budget friendly. Great idea.

Are there any electric builds ?

This is a shame it wasnt continued. Real shame.

Where can i buy that rear suspension

I want to built this but with a swing arm setup. I’d bend a solid mounted axle. Think it can be done??

HI from Argentina!! , your crosskart blow my head, they are so nice!!. I'm finishing a project. I can't wait to buy your plans and start making one.

You crack me up Kyle with comments like 'I'm just a garage guy trying to help other garage guys' and 'cracking the code on buggy building' etc but reckon that's what I like about you your so down to earth and selfless with what your doing...I mean who else takes a weeks holiday and spends it to find a cheaper rear end solution for their buggies. Amazing stuff...your a bloody legend m8.

Heck yeah dude! Keep em coming!!

Awsome man, love what you do for people and as soon as I get moved into and settled into my farm Im purchasing your plans and buying a rougue fab bender.
Keep em coming buddy

Hey, how long is that solid axle?

Love this project. Ready to build some fun project and you have this in the bag so i had to subscribe. Have you considered adding a track bar to the rear swing arm to accompany the anti sway bars. (Similar to a Jeep Wrangler set up)

Your Facebook group link is not working. Or I've been blocked somehow.

Are you still going to build a 2 seater

I knew you would come up with a cheaper way to do the drive train I would love for your type of karts to be the world's new an improved ATV's

Your awesome

Nice! Can’t wait to see the new application and how it works. Thanks for sharing

Can’t wait for that build series brother keep up the good work

Can wait for the series. Thanks for your service brother

ThAnk You Man! For making this video for Us MUCH much Appreciated!! I'm in the process of building a go kart for my Son!
Mind you, he's a Big stocky 160 pound 11 year old Boy!! So question.. trying to match his size and weight.. how do you feel about the predator 670cc 22 horse power from Harbor Freight? Think that would be enough power? Don't want him to get bored #
Concerned Dad .
ThAnks!!

That is Awesome...It will match my polaris predator 500...

I built a 600cc on a manco dingo frame. Works great! 1in axle and alot of modifications.

Hi there this sounds real good hope you get time soon to get your new Kart project done and thank you for your service how long are you still for. also 1-1/4 axle do not cost much more so guys could use motorcycle motors with your new axle suspension any way great builds and info.

Looks awesome, can’t wait to follow the build...thanks for the upload

The Predator 420's rip. .. Luv the clip of the red kart 😎 Keep up the good work!!

How much did everything cost and where can I find the parts because I wanna start in like 1-2 weeks

That’s fine but your cheeping out a cross kart?
I think your cheeping your design I feel?
But for kids ok I can see that but I feel you have that at the door?
Have fun... lol

Hey man, good stuff! Just a thought.... your "CLR" radius of your 1.250" bending dies looks to be around 3.5 to 4" 0.065" wall tubing might give you a kinking issue. I use a hydraulic driven JD2 model 32 bender and 1.250 x .095 or .083 dom with a 3.5 CLR is the limit for anything more than 90 degrees. For .065 DOM i use a 5" CLR die and it still has quite a bit of deformation. Love the live axle route, it will make it so much more obtainable to some builders just starting out. Because the axle is so long, 1" steel is going to be a problem. I realize you're trying to keep cost down but an axle out of a micro sprint is usually 1.375 dia 4130 and is almost bombproof. If you made the swingarm as wide as as possible to keep the bearings close to the wheel you might be ok. Keep up the awesome work my friend 👍

I've got a highly modified Murray Kilowatt! Check those karts out! It's a swing arm rear suspension but chassis mounted engine! The driven clutch drives a jackshaft at the swingarm's pivot point. Built 460cc billet everything, 780 Torque Converter, converted front and rear to hydraulic disc brakes ect....

if you find the time can you do a build up series on the go kart and your job looks sick dude

love the live axle idea

yo what's up with the yerf dog

Exiting for sure !

Nice
