Dude, I’ve worked in fabrication for years. You have a real talent. I’m impressed with your skills at such a young age.

@montanawildcat5198 5 лет назад

Oh man, I just love that. You dabble in precision. Welcome to the exclusive club. It's been 6 months since I started my latest build, and I'm half-way done with the rear suspension, and drive components. It's a slower process to end up with small tolerances, and immeasurable differences between mirrored LH & RH parts, but it's the only way to go if you have the curse. It's a blessing really though. Thanks for sharing this wonderful build! Jesus loves you!

ha ha, Been working on my lil project for a year and half now but mine is using the drivetrain from a 4x4 400cc atv. Gonna have 4 wheel independent suspension and steering sitting on 26 inch wheels. Way too much machining, testing, and doing over till it works just right.

@jme.1995 5 лет назад

Just a suggestion think about moving your stearing column back from the front. On any impact you’ll have it go through your face :( on most carts they have it set back so the front most brace that will hit any thing on a crash will buckle many inches before the steering column even gets touched

You need a cross brace across the steering or the side rails of the frame will warp UP & IN....

@NewfoundlandBen709 5 лет назад

Nice work so far, those front arms holding the spindles are cool, look good for a ridget setup, i also like the idea of the engine being behind you, not a big fan on the roll bar but who cares, its all about person preference

@jasonjaeger4042 5 лет назад

Good choice of motor, loved my KX250's. Like my YZ a tad more though.

@VasilyBuilds 5 лет назад

Thank you! Out of the 250 class do you say the RM is the best in power or the YZ?

@jasonjaeger4042 5 лет назад

@@VasilyBuilds It all depends on what year. The last year of the KX's (07-08) they had lots of power but it was high in the rpm's. The YZ and RM had the best "useable" power. Never cared for CR250's, only fixed them never rode them.

O ring chains aren't just for off roading, they were a tremendous innovation helping out the on road motorcycles. Chains only work right when properly lubricated and the O rings helped out with that since most people don't properly maintain their chains.

@VasilyBuilds 5 лет назад

Will there be any horsepower losses?

@G56AG 5 лет назад

From an O ring chain? No, all of the big superbikes use O ring chains, they wouldn't use them if that was a problem. Poorly maintained chains can have all kinds of HP losses, the O ring chain helps to avoid this.

@VasilyBuilds 5 лет назад

Okay, I also assume an O ring chain will tolerate heat more than an non oring

@G56AG 5 лет назад

Almost every new chain drive bike sold has an O ring chain from the factory, they wouldn't do that if there was any downside at all.

I really wish I knew how to weld! This is awesome! Looks great.

@pvanb291 5 лет назад

Steering issues...obviously. But also your centre of gravity is going to be a long way back with the engine behind you! Check out ALL the circuit karts that mount the engine beside the driver, as far forward a s possible. Your setup is going to give you huge "tank slappers" if you loose traction on the rear!

@DragoWerx 5 лет назад

That's coming out real nice! I for one like the roll bar and since you had a helmet on when you figured the height I think you know what you're doing here and have weighed the risks and found them acceptable 👍. I can't tell for sure, but it looks like you may be getting some dimpling on your pipe when you do a sharp bend from the rollers, we cut a short piece of 3"pipe in half and lay each half on the pipe to be bent where it contacts the roller on each side and have done 90 degree bends without the dimpling. Congrats on 10K!

@VasilyBuilds 5 лет назад

Very clever! I'm going to have to try that out. yes I do get dimpling on some of the extreme bends

It's not going to go the way you want when you turn the steering wheel. But I really love the frame

@VasilyBuilds 5 лет назад

Yea I have to fix it

@t-townmini4939 5 лет назад

And, please don't use that rod as your steering shaft...it doesn't look strong enough. It'll likely flex and bend...worse, it's not thick enough to handle the torsion load when you turn the wheel and will make it twist. Go ahead and buy a proper steering shaft from GoPowerSports or other race kart supply shop. With that engine power you're going to have to be sure you have full control.

@prancstaman 5 лет назад

Be best to bolt the 3rd support for the axle in place. Welding it in place will throw it off alignment. Do more research on the steering, as the other comments are saying about the tie rods. You can make it work the way it is but won't be ideal for high speed.

@nickdavis1557 5 лет назад

That build is SWEET!. I think you should put a support bar on the roll cage.

@jamesjohnson9557 5 лет назад

Loving that frame design. Keep up that great work and wow the artistic ability is showing nicely. Just a heads up, your steering will be off in tight corners as it sits. If you know the issue already with the angle of the steering arm and how to find the angle than awesome, but if you have trouble with it just hit me up.

Before you go to far into the design, that steering will be backwards, just wanted to let you know before you make it concrete.

@VasilyBuilds 5 лет назад

just realised tht :(

@ratedredneck96 5 лет назад

@@VasilyBuilds it shouldnt take too much changes to fix it. You may would benefit from flattening the steering geometry and lowering the steering wheel putting it more in your lap. You could probably fit the steering linkage bar up top if you lowered the steering wheel and steering linkage. The design looks really nice and aggressive but you want to keep it well under 300 pounds to keep it as fast as the bike would have been. A kx250 is like 220 pounds with fluids, my kdx200 weighs 240 pounds so 300 pounds would probably be too heavy.

@ratedredneck96 5 лет назад

@@VasilyBuilds you dont have to worry about your weight just try to keep the overall cart weight under 250 and you should be fine. Idk how much difference it will make with the motor turning two wheels and more mass but it should be fun either way lol
