Crosskart Build Pt. 8: Front Suspension

Follow me on IG for more content / _jimboslicexd
Front suspension, Mostly time lapse. The "front suspension explained" video will go a lot more in depth.

[@jimkhana6881]

No Music track on this video. I wanted to try it with just tool aounds and see what you think. So Music or no music? ALSO timelapse doesnt record sound so I will use as little time laspse as possible.

[@corygilbert5666]

It seems weird without music. Even something super basic and quiet in the background. But silence seems weird to me. Also, I got an idea, instead of using piles of heim joints why not use tubing? On amazon you can get tubing sizes 1.25 OD and 1.25 ID, a little sanding and it'd be a tight fit within a couple thousandths. Grease fitting, measure thrice, cut once, on all the suspension with a single axis of movement, like where the A arms connect with the frame. That's 2 heims saved per a arm, leaving the heims on the spindle sides for your adjustments. 8 heims on the front, and maybe a couple more on the rear. Wherever there's a single movement axis, two tubes could be a vastly cheaper way to make those joints. Tubing that size is like 23$ for 1.25" OD .125" wall by 4 foot. My .02 cents, love builds like this!

Best build I have seen for simplicity of thought. Just about to start one myself and I like your suspension layout. Forget the music, waste of time. Where did you get the rack?

[@jimkhana6881]

@@Richard9591 jbugs or appletree. Search 14" rack

[@Darkeiser.7]

Seems weird without music though. But you could do some kind of murder mystery instead of music.

[@supra8501]

I like it most music ends up being so much louder than everything else thanx for giving it a shot

[@swift-horse2242]

Can't wait to see the finished product

[@jimkhana6881]

me either! 😅

[@pink_love_cat4928]

YEA !! Been waiting on this one

[@jimkhana6881]

8.5 Front suspension explained will be ready monday

[@Thewatson77]

Dude that’s a really nice looking design 👍🏼 there’s a lot of people doing cross arts right now and this one has me hitting the subscribe button. Can’t wait to see how it progresses.

[@jimkhana6881]

Hell yeah thanks alot man. I see a lot of the "crosskarts" are more offroad buggies than anything. This is a Rallycross-kart. hopefully lol

[@shanemcmillion159]

I do like your suspension it looks cool

[@julzchar1055]

You would make a great teacher

[@egjr2722]

Glad i found this channel! Subbed

🤜🤛

[@arlydarosa9572]

Good job... from Brazil...

[@joew2303]

I say no music during regular speed and music during timelapse. Best of both worlds. Nice build, what welder are you using?

[@jimkhana6881]

That seems reasonable. Im using a Hobart 210 mvp

[@notisp]

Nice work!keep going! Happy new year , greetings from Greece!!!

[@jimkhana6881]

Thanks alot man! Happy new year!

[@notisp]

I prefer music please!👌

[@jimkhana6881]

@@notisp awesome thanks for your input!

[@royalracingtechroyalracing6128]

Awesome work buddy much love from upstate new York, I also build some buggys as well I need to start uploading as well ,keep up the good work

[@OliverMotorized]

This is very well done! Music would be good, just something quiet in the background

[@gadgetlukni]

No music is good. Sounds natural.

[@rbdesignsnh]

definitely music during timelapse, or music with VO of what you are doing. (thats what i prefer anyway)

[@Jacob-ui6br]

I prefer some background Music:) Love the vids! Keep it up

[@ians1464]

That thing looks good. I've already got that much of mine done and your talkin about 5ﾟ here in there I'm thinking oh crap I guess we will see what happens. I've learned a lot since it's been done I guess if it breaks it breaks or works? Without knowing really what I was doing I tried to make the upper and lower rear A arms parallel squar. Had the axles level when I mounted the A arm brackets figuring that would keep it from binding

[@jimkhana6881]

equal length a arms wont be a big deal. they might camber out at full bump...not great but if its a backyard kart who cares right?

[@Darkeiser.7]

I must build one of these. Subscribing so i don't forget about your channel!

[@Traderhood]

Thanks for posting your videos. Very inspirational. What size are the heim joints and bungs are you using? Also what size of steel sheets are you cutting your little parts from?

[@garageguy5174]

I prefer music(rock), and what engine are you useing? Reverse? I just picked up a 1994 Arctic cat wildcat 700cc efi with reverse!! It’s a can of worms i tell you, anyways keep the great work up can’t wait to see it shred!!

[@jimkhana6881]

1 for music. Im using a 2015 gsxr 600 in this one with no reverse. I may add electric reverse with a starter motor at some point. i Did think about usjng a sled engine in one but havent because of the extra involved with the torque converter and size of the pipes. I certainly will in the future for that instant powerband with no need to shift gears for the more novice riders

[@mackelby1]

SWEET, I am wearing a Slipknot hoodie right now!!!!!

[@jimkhana6881]

Thats my favorite hoodie. its like 10 years old so ive made it a work hoodie. Respect the greats!

[@danielbadel1226]

Hi! Excellent video, which shocks did you use?

[@woiow4642]

优秀

[@Hermanimace]

the front suspension is a very demanding discipline. It's nice alchemy to tune everything as it should be. I bothered with it myself while building my buggy😄. Sorry for my english 😇

[@jimkhana6881]

Yes it does seem to be a black art hahaha!

[@williamlanphar630]

I can't find any videos before the 8.0. Are there any earlier ones to see ?

[@Xgotdunnx]

More music and less of ur face Buffalo breath. Lol! Hope all is well Jim! Happy New Years. Keep the good videos coming.

[@jimkhana6881]

Hahaha youre the worst 😂👊

[@hankburton2043]

No music is good you might want to look at tilling the rack back a bit but awesome vids man keep it up

[@slash4x4lipo]

Man i hope you make other vids soon!!

[@jimkhana6881]

No doubt. Ill be doing front suspension explained tomorrow, engine mounting and wiring this week, brakes and steering later in the week, and then some driving content next week! keep coming back!

[@waltermckinney606]

are you going to offer plans to build one???

[@benreed1735]

Where did you get the wheels and tires

[@fishermsso239]

Will there be a build sheet and plans for it so other could be the same one or close to it

[@jimkhana6881]

Yes very soon. be sure to follow so you know when theyre ready

[@pauloacedo7461]

Just wondering if the clearance from ground is not enough for this empty chassi once there is no shock positioning options ...

[@jimkhana6881]

Its not built to be a long travel offroad buggy. itll be more for well manicured dirt tracks and asphalt

[@dillonlindsey5455]

This is sick, what is your primary tubing size and thickness? Also what wheel and tire combo is that?

[@jimkhana6881]

thanks brotha. 1.5 .095 and 1.25 .095 they are golf cart wheels and tires but I will use Global power sports crosskart wheels amd hoosier tires

[@dillonlindsey5455]

Keep up the good work, you are definitely an inspiration and big influence in my build I have recently started. Always look forward to your next video 🤙🤙

Cars and Cameras needs to watch this closely and learn real suspension terminology and build process. Good job doing your homework and taking time to set it up right.
