This is for answering a lot of question I still get; I cover components, cost, usability, history and have all of my favorite shots of the 100 hp VF-1 Crosskart. Thank you to all of the builders for sending your media and motivating other builders, this community is so awesome.

You certainly have a unique way of mowing your grass.

@KJRaycing 10 месяцев назад

Heck yeah! Luckily I keep a very heathy lawn so I can “mow” it all I want and not have permanent damage.

@atvtheory3151 10 месяцев назад

I've watched a good share of your videos. I have my own off-road buggy that is on revision 5, or so. Internet forums and RU-vid videos weren't really a thing when I started, so a lot of trial-and-error in the first few years. You have a good instinct for how to design and build your buggies and I hope a ton of people take advantage of your plans.

@KJRaycing 10 месяцев назад

Thank you so much, I’m going to do a little digging to try and find your work. I love all the builds so much, what an awesome hobby this is, right?

@atvtheory3151 10 месяцев назад

@@KJRaycing I have a few RU-vid videos on repairing Polaris ATV's. The minibuggy web forum where I described my buggy and went through an engine repower/rebuild to a 40 horsepower Predator 670 went defunct. A lot of good information was shared on that forum, but everybody moved on to Facebook and participation trickled down to just a few diehards, then . . . poof. Gone.

3rd question instead of buying a donor bike is there a link where i can buy just the motor alone and buy the parts from the manufacturer such as clusters cables etc etc? Tia

@KJRaycing 10 месяцев назад

You’re going to have to do your own research into donor stuff. I can only tell you my experience and recommendations. There is an awesome human being in the Facebook group that can get you a transplant kit from a bike to save you money and time. Just ask the question in the group. 👍

@chrismustry9302 8 месяцев назад

That 'buying a motor alone" route might wind up costing more, believe it or not. You are much better off buying a fully operational donor machine to ensure everything works; buying just an engine from an unknown source is way too much of a variable.

@Ratkill9000 8 месяцев назад

Only downside about doing the bike engine is, I don't have a motorcycle endorsement. For me, I'm looking at doing a Ninja 250R, or similar sized bike engine for one of these. I'm not looking to go for ludicrous speeds, but going 70+ or so would be plenty fast on the top end. Even 60 will be stupid fast being inches from the ground.

@chrismustry9302 8 месяцев назад

How much does the entire buggy weigh?

@jayknight139 6 месяцев назад

The real cost is in the tools you need to build it.

@KJRaycing 6 месяцев назад

Yeah to build something that safely goes well over 100mph you may have to buy some tools that are not from harbor freight. $1600 for a bender and $900 in steel to make a chassis that is proven on dirt and on a race track not only by me but the other VF-1 builders is’t really such a bad deal in most peoples opinion. I truly wish you the best man.

@zachhoyt92 Месяц назад

The real cost is the knowledge on how to properly use all those tools!

I wish you’d go through a company that cuts, bends, notches, and labels the tubes, so you could sell the frame as a weld it yourself kit. I’ve got all the tools to build it myself, but man I just don’t have time

@KJRaycing 10 месяцев назад

I wished a company had done that when I started too, but I ended up just having to find time outside of my full time aviation career and family. It’s worth finding the time as you can see. The hardest part is to start, I wish you the best.

@atvtheory3151 10 месяцев назад

I sourced buggy parts from a guy who sold plans and also sold a pre-cut frame kit. It was his full-time job and he had a well-stocked machine shop to back him up. That was before side-by-sides (SxS) were ubiquitous. Today, buggy building is a hobby, not a business, because it's no longer economical when you can pick up a SxS for a few thousand bucks. I couldn't cut, bend and ship the frame parts for a price that would satisfy either of us.

@StoryOfJames. 10 месяцев назад

Hello Freddy, I live in a larger more established Metro with server steel yards. So I truly hope this help you as well. I've been calling around for pricing and while talking to them I've also been asking if the offer other services like the notching, bending and sheet breaking/ sheering. Many of the suppliers don't sell to the public but there are enough around there that it gives me a choice of where to go. anyways.. rambling on here, some places offer some or all of those services but an extreme premium, sometimes folks were asking several dollars per notch. not bad if you need one notch but definitely not economical for a chassis build. When it gets really expensive are the bends and ever more so when you get multi and compound bends. You can probably do it, but you still need to supply them with degree angles cuts length ect ect for each part. Anywho, sorry for the novel but sincerely hope this helps you.

Considering ive seen a Sprintcar on the street and quad bikes in the US surely it’s possible just not in Australia unless you build 2 as one has to be crash tested then the other registered as an individually constructed vehicle or simply make it un catchable which sounds like a much cheaper and fun option . R1 turbo bike engine should do the trick

@KJRaycing 10 месяцев назад

I know right! I just used the same thickness that was on the atv. You see how I drive these in the videos and they have never broken or torn or cracked or anything. I usually do a lot of testing with them just tacked in place as well to make sure I like the suspension setup! I did use 3/16 tabs on the two seater because of the extra weight and future plans for it.
