Crosskart Build pt. 3: Chain Drive/Live Spool Rear End Build

[@joedimarco7783]

Excellent video, thanks for breaking it down for us.

[@buddtwin2]

Keep up the good work man. To go from not much experience fabricating to what your building shows your natural ability to fab. I mean I went to wyotech (automotive theory and chassis fabrication) and have been building and fabricating parts and buggies and off road trucks ever sense for my self and am impressed with your skill level. I don’t know if you have heard but Protodie is up for sale, might be a good opportunity for you to really get a jump start in the industry. I know I heard in another video I think, talking about building and selling cross karts based off your design (may be totally making this up in my head and if I am I apologize)

[@jimkhana6881]

Thanks brotha!. I've been keeping an eye on protodie but Jody's work is just a little too far off of mine.

[@mardok46]

hello where did you find the splined shaft and its bushings? or did you build it yourself?

[@burdenofmany7282]

What bearings did you use inside the tube? Also, what size pipe did you use?

[@JaseCaron97]

You are legit me building my kart in this video 😂😂

[@jimkhana6881]

you got instagram? lets see your work

[@TheCidiot]

How well did this spool hold up? Did it ever develop any play between the shaft and bearings?

[@Xkarts200]

Yes holds up fine built a spool like this on my r1 buggy it has held up really well

[@jeffryll5089]

What cv axles and hubs did you use? And what’s the planned width hub to hub?

[@jimkhana6881]

Using miata axles. If they dont hold up Ill switch to VW axles. 55" hub to hub rear, 65" front and rear track width

[@timothybarron9556]

How much for everything including the axles

[@OversteerEngineer]

I am also building a 600cc crosskart. So this was super usefull. What diameter is the splined shaft? Did you consider making a chain drive diffrential?

[@jimkhana6881]

1 3/8 shaft from protodie. I did consider and a diff but you want to use a new diff if you want LSD and theyre pricey. Ive seen plenty guys weld spider gears and run a diff as a live axle but they seem heavy, bulkt, and ugly lol

[@Sleeping_faster]

I’ll take the weird lighting. This video is answering a lot.

[@estebancamacho6802]

Still selling these ?

[@timothybarron9556]

Do you have the whole assembly for sale

[@larrysullivan6536]

Absolutely brilliant so well made and tough one question do you think I could use this et up for my 350 cc trike I want to build I think this would great because diffs for trikes are so expensive and maybe you could cash in on his system for trikes for the road please could you let me now and keep up your great work love it larrysullivan in London cheers

[@jimkhana6881]

Send me a dm on Instagram and I'll get you worked out

[@bmxdad3783]

What is the length of the splined shaft? Great info and way cheaper to build then buy

[@jimkhana6881]

thanks brotha. its 7" But i may use a 9" next time so i can center the enhine in the chassis without using a jackshaft

[@jimkhana6881]

right now itll be mounted like 1.25" right. youd probably never notice the weight difference but i wanna be building pro level buggies here soon

[@bmxdad3783]

Nice! This will be my first buggy build. Trying to take in all the info I can. I have built rock crawlers before but this is a tad different. I’m sure I’ll have more questions along the way. Thanks for your info

[@mikedill7378]

Seems like a nice strong unit you made.....but....I would add couple of grease fittings to the body near the bearings.....so they last longer.

[@jimkhana6881]

They're sealed bearings so no greasing.

[@mikedill7378]

That means per greased.....more never hurts...I would say oil but.....with the spline shaft....would leak out

[@buddtwin2]

@@mikedill7378 having grease fittings would do nothing for the bearings. The bearings are sealed. The splines and bearings move together. You wouldn’t want any grease getting in between the spline and bearings anyways as this could cause less friction and allow the spline shaft to spin faster then the bearings.

[@MotoKingWOT]

If I worked at a machine shop I wouldn't be watching KZbin videos on how to easily build a buggy 😂😆

[@Theyorkshirepirlo]

Just stumbled across this. Nice informative. Don’t have a crosskart but have a couple of drakarts and it’s fascinating to see the differences. Looks good. When do you plan to complete the project?

[@jimkhana6881]

Those Drakarts are seriously badass. Id love to have a couple lol. I figure this prototype will be done before Christmas and Ill be starting on a refined Kart shortly after

[@Theyorkshirepirlo]

Soon then👍. Nice. Where are you based?

[@Theyorkshirepirlo]

Just realised. It doesn’t sound like you are likely based outside the uk.was going to see where you planned to drive it but you probably have more options than the uk does

[@Mr.GS-147]

Nice project man, where can I find those internal spline adapter

[@jimkhana6881]

Protodie.com

[@pyroman590]

What rear wheels did you end up running? I'm assuming you used the stock miata hubs that are 4/100mm bolt pattern?

[@jimkhana6881]

Yes sir. I have the golf kart wheels still. 18x8x10 Once I burn those all up ill get some Hoosiers on em. And keep a set of 22 and 25" tires on hand too. All 4x100...golf kart wheels will be your cheapest option

[@pyroman590]

@@jimkhana6881 I've been looking like mad to find some 10x9 0r 10x10 wheels. I want to run the Hoosiers as well, Their website says they need at least a 9" wide wheel. Ive not been able to find one yet with that bolt pattern, I can find 4/115 all day.

@@pyroman590 you have to pay a little money for them. But check out gpsoffroadproducts.com

Excellent workmanship. Very, very good. But you will have to stop talking and explaining what you did, that's very annoying and super boring. Instead, video (time lapse) you doing the work. As I said, love what you are doing, but I'm not gonna keep of watching unless you show the work as you do it.

[@jimkhana6881]

loud and clear

[@jeffwilliams1223]

Well I disagree with that. I like all the talking and explaining. That's how you learn new things. Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing your process.
