What Wheels and Tires? Choosing the Right Setup for my Crosskart/Go Kart/Minibuggy

It was requested that I go over some of how I choose my wheel and tire setups. I love crosskarts for sure but trail riding is also a huge deal. So i set my karts up with two modes (VF-1 for Variable Frame) to have one kart work in all kinds of places to ride/race. I hope this is helpful to the builders out there!

Your discussion about rotational mass explained a problem I was having with my off-road buggy. A couple of years ago, I switched my rear tires from a set of lightweight 22x11-8 tires and rims to some beefy 24x11-10 wheels to give me more off-road clearance. Yes, it helped with clearance, but I started having issues with the rear axles. Snapped two of them. I knew the tires were heavier but I didn't think they were THAT much heavier. Well, yes they are much heavier once you calculate in rotational mass. I was already thinking about going back to the smaller tires and this video really clinched it. I picked up a set of 22x11-10 tires that weigh almost nothing and it makes the rear end feel much lighter.

Can't waith for the 2 stoke build I'm using a Polaris explorer transmission for my buggy.

@la_plata3588 Год назад

Not a vf1 or 2

@jamesbeck9326 Год назад

I have watched all of your videos . Where can I find more information on building crosskart ? I am a 17 year army veteran and would like to start building crosskart after I build my shop

@KJRaycing Год назад

So cool and thank you! And a HOOAH from a prior 13F. This entire channel is dedicated to building a crosskart in your garage. Links to plans, a build forum, components list and playlists are all in the description. Take a peek and study up. After you have the plans join us in the build group for any questions that come up. We are building more than crosskarts, we are building a community.

Hello sir, I want to ask is if its ok to use a single cylinder 110cc 4speed engine on a crosscart. Because that engine is all i had right now at my garage

@la_plata3588 Год назад

I'm in Cortez saw that Jim and Keith said people where trying to sell these, looked on Facebook and saw one in Durango Colorado at first glance I thought he was selling a vf1 looks similar even the same motor and suspension. It's not a vf1 my dad's going to check it out

@la_plata3588 Год назад

I mod the old page non plan holder

@jgsn5029 Год назад

Do you go to mini mayhem at busco? I'd love to see one of these in person

@KJRaycing Год назад

I try to make it when I can but military obligations make me miss them sometimes. I’m bringing one to Charles’s dirty 30 for everyone to take a spin in. I hope to see you there!

@jgsn5029 Год назад

@KJRaycing yea i hear you im active as well. Can't wait

@RELAXnRENOVATE 15 дней назад

What do you think about 26” sunF street tires on 14” rims?

@KJRaycing 10 дней назад

I think for such a light weight car rotating mass is definitely a factor. Bigger tires are cool but can rob power. There is definitely a balance of size/performance/ground clearance.

@RELAXnRENOVATE 7 дней назад

@@KJRaycing Thanks….soooo I bought them already and will run them since they’re already mounted and everything. Too much trouble to turn back now. With a 600cc engine which size sprocket would you recommend? This kart is for my wife….she won’t be driving that aggressively anyways.

@georgiajo5665 Год назад

Hi, what suspension do you use?

@KJRaycing Год назад

Check out the suspension video in the channel

@Crosskart Год назад

Try gooldspeed tyres

@KJRaycing Год назад

Very hard to get in the states. Hoosiers are the US version.

How much for plans where do i go to order

@KJRaycing Год назад

Check the description for links to everything. Enjoy the build 🦾

@justgrazza4638 Год назад

What's dripping on the floor?

@KJRaycing Год назад

Water from the melting snow I’m guessing. We drive the budget kart ALL of the time. It’s just quick and easy fun, I’m starting to figure out why everyone loves the predator engines so much.

@cousin_JACK Год назад

Great now I have two random new 32” tires I have no idea what to do with

@KJRaycing Год назад

Run em!!! 😁 I would love to see a big wheel version.

@zandertunes9602 Год назад

If anyone has built one from the plans, what was the final cost

@KJRaycing Год назад

It varies wildly… it depends on how you source parts, what donor engine you use and the current price of steel. There is a video on my channel that can help you figure out build cost and how to break it out so you don’t have to fund the full build up front (I do it in stages to help with cost). I wish you the best 🦾

@lesheath6216 Год назад

How much are the frame kits?

@KJRaycing Год назад

More than you want to pay

@lesheath6216 Год назад

@@KJRaycing with a dickhead response like that, you're right

@KJRaycing Год назад

The entire channel is based on showing you how to build an amazing machine and I show you how people all over the world are having successful builds from getting the plans and following the series… so you could say you posted a dickhead comment, right? The hardest part is to start, and I hope you get the courage up to start a build. I wish you the best.
