Crosskart Build Pt. 7.5 Rear Suspension EXPLAINED

[@pink_love_cat4928]

I cant wait to see them finished & your next videos

[@brianswelding]

New sub here. Keep up the good work (builds AND video production)... just being yourself, no corny antics, no crazy music, straight to the point, good explanations, etc. Can't wait to see those buggies rip! 🤘

[@Thewatson77]

Man you’ve put quite a bit of thought into this build. I’m really impressed 👍🏼

[@johngoode6787]

Now I finally understand what plunge means....great instruction Jim and keen to see a comparison between your buggy and the Piranha

[@jasonmorrison7127]

Nice work.... Built a few sprint cars in the past. Looks like I’ll be building one of these soon as well ! Love the videos

[@jimkhana6881]

ive been looking at mini sprints. id love a damn sprint car!

[@Xgotdunnx]

Good videos there guy. Def looking forward to seeing that thing rip. Be safe.

[@jimkhana6881]

Thanks Buffalo Breath 😤🤢🤮

[@jimkhana6881]

come weld it all up. i never made it that far in class 😂

[@laverncarroll]

I’m trying to design a cheap go kart with suspension, thank you Jimbo slice

[@stevenpleasant5834]

ok I see and understand the hub now thanks also lone are the mounting tabs to hold the carrier on to the A-arm the top bracket and bottom bracket. thanks. cool build good info.

[@rich6841]

Lot of question and hole bunch of answers. very cool I'm working on a RC 6th scale buggy, gas weed wipe engine its go good on the build great fun.

[@garageguy5174]

Good vid, I’m currently doing my rear suspension on my dune buggy and I’m using VW axles and hubs and I’m doing double wish bone suspension😬😬😬, keep the good work up though I’ve never thought about plunge!!

[@jimkhana6881]

double A arm is the way to go!

[@jimkhana6881]

Also, VW axles are far better and you likely wont have plunge issues bc both sides float, i believe.

[@garageguy5174]

Yes well the problem is they use cast iron and 1/2in steel and I need to drill 24holes and you can’t just put it in a drill press ether!! Amazons best drill bit set here I come...

[@stevenpleasant5834]

Hi very good info but could you add how you did the outer cv stub shaft with the Miata shaft also I like how you are building your parts keep up the cool builds,

[@jimkhana6881]

its a full miata rear axle. Stubs built into the axle. Rzr 800 hub has the same size wheel bearing as the miata

[@stevenpleasant5834]

ok thanks can you send me some pictures of the axle and the outer stub on it and the hub and carrier show what it all looks like please and tanks for your reply and help Steven.

[@jimkhana6881]

just watch the last video or google mista axle

[@stevenpleasant5834]

Hi ok I watched the videos agine and did not see the outer cv that goes thru the carrier and outer hub so you are saying the stock Miata shaft fits the Polaris carrier and the hub fit with out no machine work just bolts up. thanks for you help also some day would like to see you build a 4x4 buggy the way you build would be interesting to see how you would do it. keep up the cool builds.

[@rbdesignsnh]

@@jimkhana6881 thats good to know. i was planning on using Miata rear hubs. are you then using the miata wheel hub with the rzr800 bearing carrier?

[@jasonbirch1182]

Did you do a roll center calculation at all? It's going to do funky things if the front and rear roll center are far off each other. Check out drive channel and engineering explained for anti squat/anti dive and roll center info(same thing but front to back and side to side).

[@johnsolimine1164]

There's no one perfect suspension set-up. He's getting it done ...and will find out cause and effect when he runs it.

[@jamieneilkinghorn6008]

Love the rims

[@everythingcustom4034]

Cat wait to start building again ha this is looking good, i have a hondat vt 600 so she should do the work

[@Nevertrustalawyer]

I second that, don’t cheap-out on suspension. What good is hp of you can’t get it to the ground?

[@OversteerEngineer]

Are there any cheap cv axles from a car that allows for a lot of plunge?

[@jimkhana6881]

not cheap. But youre looking for audi, bmw, VW, porsche 930 axles. Look up lobro style axles. really, you want axles in which you have plunge in both ends, not just one. So anything like that

[@maxamps45]

What rear wheel hub assembly did you use?

[@jimkhana6881]

Miata axle,hubs,bearing, rzr 800 knuckle

[@sandovalandrade1701]

BELO TRABALHO. 😎 👍 🇧🇷

[@dominiktot3311]

Hello! Could you name or possibly provide a link to the rear wheel suspension? (wheel hub and axle) 😁🤗

[@bobleaich8899]

Looks like he's using the same as what I am on my build. I'm using early 90's Mazda Miata axles, bearings, hubs, rotors, and rear knuckles. I've seen a few people using Miata drive parts and Amazon has the parts pretty cheap. Hope this helps.

[@danlipperini1739]

I see that you are using RZR 800 knuckles, but what rear hub? Miata axles to what splined hub?

[@jimkhana6881]

miata hubs. rzr 800 spindles have the same size bearing

[@SikSwanger]

Are your top control arms/radius rods shorter than the bottom ones??

[@jimkhana6881]

yes by an inch

[@SikSwanger]

@@jimkhana6881 👌

[@Clbfrnc]

Is this Kevin a little funky?

[@jimkhana6881]

soooper funky 😂

[@kevinfunke8179]

Potentially lol

[@randyhertzberg7549]

great build , thank you for not making a vid of welding glare , it sucks and all it does is make vid longer with crappy content

[@matthewmarion9372]

Check out( what's going on in Doug's shed) KZbin channel think he has a better rearend build for your cart to take curves and turns better either way worth looking at love your build

[@jimkhana6881]

Yeah he has some awesome work. ive been followung him since he atill ran Westington house. I will certainly do a LSD in the future but the race buggies get live axles. Hes awesome isnt he? Ive been waiting on his Live axle video for a few months now

[@reiserchris2258]

Nice rollcenter 😅😂

[@jimkhana6881]

Im just gettinf started brotha. Havent figured all of that out yet!
