I’m impressed. I want to do this also…

Hey mate is there a way to get the plans for the frame really love the design 👌

[@aeroekins5415]

Are you gonna post the frame design on your website and are you gonna list all the parts you use? I’d love to copy this build

Wow.........😎

[@skisteepndeep]

How did you get the hub, tire, and engine components (for example) in Autocad? Did you draw them yourself or are there models that you imported?

Hello, what material did you use to make the frame?

Do you have the plans up on your site ?

Where are the plans for this build? I'd be very happy to pay for them, but they aren't available on your site. Thanks!

where can i get the seat and seat adjuster

[@tilioferreira7936]

what metal is used for the chassis?

[@georgegould667]

Are you using inter shield ?

[@ranger6779]

How much did the metal cost? What type of tubing would you use to build this cart of you had to use it.

[@GoKartGod]

Hey! So usually I buy from my remnants section at the local metal shop! They charge 1.49 a pound and I would probably us anywhere from 80-150 lbs of metal on a kart! I love to use the square 1x1 tubing! And it usually cost about $1.8-2.25 per foot. I would usually use like 36-50 feet for a project like this. Sheet metal can range but a 4x4 sheet of thin gauge metal might run you like $40-70! Let me know if you have any other questions!

[@njorogekuria5667]

[@martindavis977]

How long did it take you to build it? Nice craft btw

[@GoKartGod]

Thank you so much! Probably took me about 1.5-2 months of work! From ordering parts to riding probably around 2.5 months!

[@mpb3ast501]

@@GoKartGod do you have a parts list?

[@ganpatsawant6611]

Sir what is the chamber angle??.... please answer

[@mrhunt231]

Use a contact tip on the end of the welding gun, it will structurally make your welds safer since it would actually direct the shielding gas at your weld

[@mrhunt231]

if you don’t know what I mean or if you have a problem/reason for doing so lmk

Don’t some welders just not have gas tho?

We used an electronic angle finder from Amazon! We will leave a link in the next video description.

[@yanir.tzabary]

any Kart Plans?

[@CarrerasCorradosCoffee]

Hey man, what tire and wheel set did you buy?

[@GoKartGod]

I believe these are Van-k Rims and Unilli tires!

[@youhappyf0o]

@gokartgod 8x6?

[@Unchartedplayer15]

Is there a reason you chose the same tire width front and back? I’d go for something smaller, but of course your choice. Good looking kart nonetheless 👍🏼 Glad i subscribed

[@GoKartGod]

So I think it was a 10in rim in the back and 9 up front. Definitely too big. Lots of float which was great for drifting but I would recommend like 5-6” up front and 8-9” in the back now!

[@bozhidargeorgiev783]

how much cost the project and what aluminium or steel used for the frame

[@briantruck2284]

Basic mild steel 1 inch squares tubing & is cheapest way

[@khalimthomas115]

[@ThatHondaActy]

hey! What design software did you use?

[@minecraft5501]

Haha ik you commented this 8months ago but I thought I'd jump in. Its AutoCad! Use this program for work all the time haha

[@birdie2p]

Do you have dimensions or blueprint

[@mr.tr.6213]

How much did it cost to build total?

[@GoKartGod]

I think I might have spend about $2000-2500 on this build! It adds up quickly when you buy all new parts! Really just depends on the parts and what you need. I think spending about $1800-2000 is a great budget to start with!

[@Wogsmawp]

I’d love to build a go kart but I don’t have no tools or money 😂 the money isn’t really the issue tho I’m sure someone is giving away junk scrap that I can cut up and use on Facebook or something but the tools are what I really need especially the welder and me being picky about how welds look I’d probably have to learn tig welding

[@jimpruett4005]

you can set up a mig with a tig torch and tig inexpensively, but you can't weld aluminum with it, look it up on youtube

[@jojoreij7877]

what is the software you use for de modeling ?

[@samuelhowell5059]

Looks like autoCAD
