Build Your Own Go Kart EPISODE 2 - Frame Welding and Assembly! 

i wish

@@lefantomeband I bought a engine and metal just for this guy to not post any actual detailed dimensions or anything

@@aeroekins5415 hey did you manage to build a frame

@@cthx4583 no I wanted to copy this guys build but he gave absolutely no resources for all the parts he used let alone a simple schematic for the frame… just another RU-vidr trying to scam ppl into buying their crap

I’ve messaged him about it on insta I hope he reply’s if y’all have already build one please share your frame designs with me 😭😭,

I believe these are Van-k Rims and Unilli tires!

@gokartgod 8x6?

if you don’t know what I mean or if you have a problem/reason for doing so lmk

Don’t some welders just not have gas tho?

@@drewwaddell9302 only if he was using flux core wire.

@@avischoenfeld8040 At 3:20 there is light brown “dust” on the metal where he made a tack, indicating flux of some sort

he's using flux core wire so he don't need tip

I think I might have spend about $2000-2500 on this build! It adds up quickly when you buy all new parts! Really just depends on the parts and what you need. I think spending about $1800-2000 is a great budget to start with!

We used an electronic angle finder from Amazon! We will leave a link in the next video description.

6.5

So I think it was a 10in rim in the back and 9 up front. Definitely too big. Lots of float which was great for drifting but I would recommend like 5-6” up front and 8-9” in the back now!

Haha ik you commented this 8months ago but I thought I'd jump in. Its AutoCad! Use this program for work all the time haha

1 by 1 square tubing 1/8in wall.

you can set up a mig with a tig torch and tig inexpensively, but you can't weld aluminum with it, look it up on youtube

Thank you for clarifying that for all the people! We did not clarify that enough!!

Not grinding the welds flat can cause stress risers, want to get them flat as much as possible.

Oh yea! No drift sleeves needed just over pressured 10” tires hahahaha

Hey! So usually I buy from my remnants section at the local metal shop! They charge 1.49 a pound and I would probably us anywhere from 80-150 lbs of metal on a kart! I love to use the square 1x1 tubing! And it usually cost about $1.8-2.25 per foot. I would usually use like 36-50 feet for a project like this. Sheet metal can range but a 4x4 sheet of thin gauge metal might run you like $40-70! Let me know if you have any other questions!

I did half inch till back Looking for top speed

Thank you so much! Probably took me about 1.5-2 months of work! From ordering parts to riding probably around 2.5 months!

@@GoKartGod do you have a parts list?

Basic mild steel 1 inch squares tubing & is cheapest way

Engine Live axle Wheels & tires Is 800 dollars. Frame the cheapest if weld it yourself

@@briantruck2284 mine was similar

Yes we are still working on the design it should be available on are website in a few months.

@@GoKartGod I’m guessing very soon then!!

We did not make this kart for racing. But you can rip it on tracks just don’t know how legal it is.

It’s a predator 212 motor! If you are international you would look for the Honda gx200!

5 ,11 should be max I guess taller than that might look through his knees

Yes I was 5’11” but I put seat sliders on so you could fit anyone really!

@@sriniketh9142 😂😂😂😂😂

Looks like autoCAD

Appreciate the support!! Thank you man!!

We are not currently selling them at the moment but in the next year we are hopefully going to have frames available!!

@@GoKartGod 👍👍
