How Much Did it Cost to Build our 750cc Cross Kart?? + Paint!

[@CarsandCameras]

It cost us more than we all thought, but still not bad! Especially considering what it would cost to purchase something equivalent.

[@laactualidaddelnano7746]

GOOD JOB GUYS :V :D

[@Ratkill9000]

Something equivalent is about $6500 and up.

[@nicolasrecio6057]

Yes a new vid 🔥🔥

[@VasilyBuilds]

Great job guys! What about the labor? I'm assuming 3 guys, 50$ an hour, 40 hours? 3x50x40 = 6000$

[@jonathan7744]

Can you give the complete list somewhere?

[@sudz-ebucket6635]

love that you guys are willing to tell us the cost. one day ill have some time and money under my belt and ill build a cart. was thinking of doing a mini one, like grind hard plumbing.

Lincoln welders Stick electric/engine driven power. {MIG Miller is killer {TIG Miller. Lincoln for some reason has dropped the ball in the Quality dept. I'm even looking at a Everlast unit. Over Lincoln. Machines are not cheap & if they can't be trusted they are worse than not having one at all. 👍👍 ya material costs add up quick....keep on Rock'n guys.!! EDIT : For future references a chemical called ospho works extremely well. It turns the oxide into primer. It kills & converts rust & just paint over it..

Great job been a fan almost from the beginning! Give these guys some high quality Lincoln welders,snap on tools , Cornwell boxes Milwaukee impacts and just a nice humble new shop.Just let the insight and good times flow if you could make some kids get out off them games and see

[@RichardCranium321]

I know it was on test, but when spraying paint (rattle can or HPLV) it's best to work top down rather than bottom up (as long as your shop floor is clean... don't ask). Also, painting indoors when raining out allows the finish to dry slower & keeps down the airborne particles, generally giving you a better overall finish with less sanding. Lookin good either way tho, ready to see it rip!

[@monkeyman4337]

If you have a Napa near you look in Zero Rust, it works like Por15 with out the texture if you want a smooth finish.

[@1hipcrip771]

You guys have really stepped up the production values!!!

[@k9man163]

I would LOVE if you guys painted the engine, headlights, and covered all the cables with some black covers, . Basically use the cart as a huge canvas that you guys detail and clean up. Id like to see you guys do that kind of detail on the project as kind of show piece of the channel and what you guys do.

[@lpyt2010]

Have you thought of Raptor lining a cart? They have 15 stock colors or you can have a paint shop tint it whatever color you like. It provides a durable finish that's even Ike proof.

[@connieramsdell7385]

Dang i see this thing painted on instagram all the time its nice to see it being done in a video

[@darren8517]

Slag build up on your wire tip is causing extra drag. This puts a strain on the wire feed rollers, thus damaging the roller/shaft connection. ( I think) I did work in production mig welding. Slag or "spatter" is always an issue, especially as heat builds up on the tip and nozzle. Anti spatter sprays or wax dips are helpful, when used regularly. Hope this helps.

[@nathanielbarbeau4821]

You guys are workin your tails off on that thing! Must be so much fun! Can’t wait to see it with larger tires!

Isaac you should have dropped those side rails. Then you could get in and out easier. Being trapped in a cart is not good. Especially if it on fire or upside down in water. Couple episodes ago your were in a creek. It does happen.

I want to see you guys install that there 990 in the cross cart.Youll have no problem running big wheels which will give even more ground clearance,more speed,massive catwalks,and epic airtime that would turn any thrill seekers undergarments a dark shade of brown.Mini mayhem would be about who could build something faster.lol Never the less,you guys are doing well and i love the vids.

[@paulteirney3587]

Hi guys you are doing well, the only thing that i would as the welding goes is go down to the next size of wire as it does not take the same heat to weld and you will get a better weld as well as looks. .023 =.6mm used in the panel beaters trade.

David Chulock it just kills me to see welds on dirty or rusty metal anytime you wire brush metal first it’s amazing how much better the weld looks and sticks

Also grinding a weld so it's flat is a bad idea. I'm a structural welder fabricator full time we don't even do that that's a no no.

[@philuresky2993]

you can buy the drive wheel for your welder as a spare part, make sure you get the matching one for the size and type of wire you use... eg gas/gasless.

[@philtripe]

you can thin paint to make it more workable and appear smoother...use water for latex and thinner for oil and that will help it to lay flat

[@toddabbott781]

Make the top rollcage bar above the driver on the driver side (for a normal US car) and bend it into a curve so the driver has more room to get in. It should still protect fine and be pretty much just as strong... but way easier to fit in. If you want it more cemetrical do it from both side so the top is shaped kind of like an hourglass.
