Crosskart: Small Budget, Big Performance

Check description for more details links for everything.
Some highlights and impressions of a Harbor Freight powered crosskart. The VF-1 chassis is perfect for any engine; even off the shelf generator style engines. The best part of having a high performance budget crosskart; nothing ever breaks! This has 100's of hours of hard driving fun and is RARELY down for maintenance. It is an absolute thrill to drive for anyone and is an awesome way to get into crosskarting. And with the KJ Raycing VF-1 frame, if you want to upgrade just put a new engine in and run a chain to the Homebrew rear carrier. I love this sport and the builders and the events and everything about it. See you guys soon at the next event. 🦾

[@cohentheblue]

With your building skills, I'm surprised you're not building snowmobiles / snow karts. Snow has generally lower friction in ideal conditions and would probably allow for greater speed and slides with the same power. EDIT: as in vehicles on skis and propelled by tracks.

[@RobboGaming078]

Do these plans come in metric measurements at all I'm in australia and would really like to build one of these carts

[@davecarnevale8017]

@@cohentheblue If it were winter year-round here that might be a good idea, but we get all four seasons and occasionally we get winters with too little snow for sleds

The most fun I ever had was 5 hp go carts. A 1100cc motorcycle engine might be fun, but you might also hurt yourself. Chasing speed thrills is a never ending addiction. Just engine the simple fun.

[@JDzAlive]

I remember driving a friend’s go cart with 8.5 hp when mine was only 3.5, I thought that thing was scary! 😂

[@notyouraveragegoldenpotato]

A Honda pilot (the 397cc 1 man dune buggy/utv) was an absolute RIOT. Stupid fast, and you could go around corners sideways 3x faster than you'd ever imagine possible😂 those were a freaking riot

[@nope1808]

im planning on doing a crosscart build with a 05 rx8 2 rotor engine, i think its a great idea

[@b789har]

Yeah, but the difference is the fact that crosskarts have inline four motorcycle engines not lawnmower engines. That's why they don't exist in America. Best drivers in the world are from Finland and that's where the majority of crosskarts are. They are not toys like this. This looks like it could be a great time but in no way is it a crosskart

[@b789har]

​@@notyouraveragegoldenpotatoI love how the Honda Pilot and Odyssey used to be insane 2 stroke monsters. Now they're family vehicles 🤣 SUV and minivan

[@lukehill6395]

I don't have the money, time, nor space to build one of these right now, but i love what you are doing man. I can tell you aren't in this for the money, but rather the passion of doing it. These karts are so badass, It's definitely not a sierra car but it's also not the price of a brand new porsche cayman. Keep up the good work, i love the content.

[@KJRaycing]

This is the best compliment ever, thank you so much. I share the excitement of new builds with all the guys jumping in. It is the coolest thing ever.

[@TheMaddcrash]

Very cool kart ….. I am currently homeless right know going through a hard time myself, when I get some money and settle down. I plan on getting your plans to keep my mind busy and recover. This will be a good project for me. Keep up the good work.

[@JacopoSkydweller]

The longer I live the more I think this is the sweet spot for reliability, low cost, safety and fun. Dirt bikes are awesome, but not something most people can easily ride/fit on unless you have a bunch of bikes. Pre runners are sick, but to make them safe and fun, you're going to spend SO much time and money getting the suspension built, dialed, frame stiffened, then you need more power etc. side by sides are sweet but the ones that are really fun to drive aren't exactly cheap at all. With these you've got a full cage and super low center of gravity, very unlikely to roll and way safer than say a quad if you roll it. Way easier to fix than a proper vehicle that weighs 4 or 5000 lbs with a cage in it too.

[@KJRaycing]

You said it man!!

[@ArnoldsDesign]

Great looking machines. I build an all terrain cart back in 1999, but no top cage. It just had a 5hp B&S with CVT. That's what a lot of carts were using then, and the B&S had a lot of aftermarket parts available. It's still sitting in my shed. It was a lot of fun, and would go just about anywhere I wanted. Not as fun as these designs though.

[@Meatsweats_o_O]

[@mikeharner3977]

So much inspiration. Can't wait til I knock a few projects off and can base my VF750 build on this concept.

Awesome little build! If I can make one suggestion... put in a firewall, top to bottom. I watched one of your other videos, great build, but it had a radiator on top... if a hose breaks/leaked while you were riding, odds are you'll be in the icu. The firewall doesn't need to be fire proof, it just needs to keep the the stuff separate from you. Great content. New sub. Thanks for sharing!

Many years ago my dad's neighbor built a mid engine corvair 6 cyl. With a VW bus trans. sand rail using muffler pipe. He made up templates from luan plywood for all of the bends, And the muffler shop did all of the bending . He did the wielding at home. And like you he built several of them. The muffler pipe was fairly larg in dia. And thin walled. altogether I thought it was brilliant.

[@jasonpinnix1905]

46 MPH is plenty of fun . And yes High speed off road is fun but I have come close to death doing just that . I have broke most of my bones over the years doing it . Stay safe and keep on going stay safe .

Pretty cool. I just started looking at these go karts that seat two and kinda similar looking. I figured the prebuilt frames with being able to do a motor swap could be ideal. Don’t have to worry about welding myself.

[@robj5780]

I love your passion and this kart's design and execution. I know this probably won't be popular, but having this in electric would be awesome. It doesn't need a big motor or battery as you don't drive long distances. Any kind of maintenance would go away and it would of course be quiet. The center of gravity would probably also be even lower. Then of course there is the low end torque and the fact you don't need any kind of clutch.

[@KJRaycing]

Stay tuned 😁

Every Saturday all the local kids came to our farm were we had built a track. The track was on the shape of kidney beam and was around three acres. We work our job in the day and carts at night to get things ready for Saturday. Kids started paying us to work on their carts.

Big is the only way. Anything worth doing is worth over-doing.

[@ketutwijaya4133]

When going offroad its best to have torque rather then horse power type of engine, choosing the right engine for the project build its the very first priority for builder, because its also lead to money cost later.

[@KJRaycing]

Very true! Those engines may not have a lot of power but they can run. I put a rear anti-sway bar on the back to give steering back to the front and prevent rollovers. I get them for $15 off ebay from parted out utility atv’s. Thank you so much!
