Here’s a quick walk around of the RTX-0 crosskart build showing some of the stuff in the works for the dash and air inlets for the engine. This one has a Kawasaki Z1000 drive train.
Hi and thanks for the great comment as I really appreciate it! Im sure if you have the time to learn and dedication to your goals, you can do it! If not, I’ll have a few in the works for sale once this one is completed and I have all the designs needed for a complete roller. Thanks!
Id love to get one of the RTx-0 version and build some of your design here in Ohio under my company 614 Welding & Fabrication. Looks like an amazing design, I have been watching your product and services growth and cant wait to see where it goes. Keep up the h good work
Thanksgiving very much for your comment and interest. I appreciate your support! I hope to have this first one done in the next couple of weeks once I finish my machine work on the final rear drive pieces. Unfortunately as everyone knows, this was supposed to be a super affordable kit, but all materials have now doubled and some more than tripled, but I am planning to keep them as affordable as possible.
With all the “covid prices” how much do you have wrapped up in material costs? Not consumables, but just raw material. If you had discounts on some stuff what would be the ballpark cost for the average guy spend on material to build a roller like yours here? I just found these crosskarts and I think they are awesome. I wanna put a Busa motor in one LoL
Hi, prices went up like crazy during this build and parts were getting harder to find, now parts are easier to find, but I seen some raw material prices literally doubled or more, not to mention wage prices shot up for everyone which compounds any outside work expenses. So quality parts and raw materials, 14-17K that includes just about everything material and off the shelf quality component stuff, EXCLUDING design time, prototyping time and costs, welding costs, labor time for machining the parts and tooling required, facility costs, assembly time, and I am sure I left something out =). LOL I will be having a site change coming up with the new chassis designs that will hopefully be more affordable for those who want to build their own very soon. Big Positive changes coming for 2023! It's gonna get exciting!
This current version is made of 1.5” and 1” .120 wall DOM tubing. It also can be made of chrome moly. Do not use anything less for safety reasons. Budget is a problem for most people wanting to get into these, but loosing your life or getting seriously hurt is a much bigger problem. Don’t be cheap when it comes to materials to anyone attempting to make their own and please use a professional welder.
