Go Kart Build / Crosskart Mode Change and Lap Times

Check description for more details.
Adding to the VF (variable frame) idea is a new mode named "Tonka Kart Mode". 31 inch Agricultural tires and 19 inches of ground clearance for some heavy hitting fun. The budget built Predator 459 powered crosskart is turning out to be an awesome test bed for the crazy ideas to come. If an affordable 18 hp engine can do all of this then imagine it applied on the other more spirited VF's. A huge thank you to Cars and Cameras, Jumper Cable Dadz and Rattle Can Customs; what we accomplished together will make us life long friends.

This is at the cars and camera's facility. that was on the grand Prix lap. now we need to see them get Grind Hard Plumbing. and Criss from Rather Be welding. there to see some of these vehicles stack up. since there are so many of those three wheeled ATVs just laying around. I would like see someone use those tires and wheels on a kart. because they would be just the right size, in between the one's on this kart. and the smaller one's that are normally used. I think they would be the perfect size. they might be worth a try.

[@drivingsideways2319]

100hp would definitely be more fun for sure

Its impossible to buy a Crosskart so this is the very best place to build your own. It's all frist class stuff.

Absolutely love it when you put out new videos. In fact I prioritize your videos over any video in my list of subscriptions. However, I've been dying to see your 2 seater in action and it's been over a year!!!! Do you have any time line or guess as to when that beautiful piece of equipment will be up and running?!?

[@KJRaycing]

Man that is so cool! Thank you so much! I’ve been dying to do the two seater as well, but between deployments, events and opportunities like this it’s hard to get solid garage time in. I’m hoping to have it ready for April Mini Mayhem.

[@hutchdw77]

Very cool!

Super cool! I've been working my way through each of your videos. Do you have a video that covers the tube bender? That's the only tool that I'm missing.

Where are you located? That would be helpful

[@Timberwolf35546]

Honestly in my opinion, for daily use most people wouldn't need more than a 600cc cross kart, with climate control and a grocery rack for some people of course. I would for sure be perfectly happy ripping around daily with a smile on my face.

[@n2fastcars635]

What to see if I get the vr1 plans is there a way to use those plans if I wanted to build the vf2 in the future? Or is it just better to buy both sets of plans?

[@shrugger1]

They're pretty much completely different karts.

[@n2fastcars635]

Oh ok didn't realize that. I watched a little bit of the vr2 build but I guess I should have watched it closer.

[@KJRaycing]

The VF-2 is an entirely different design. I was trying to figure out a comprehensive way to make the VF-1 able to be converted to a two seater but it just wasn’t possible.

[@erikryanjack]

Homemade crosscart ish or part of an old Honda Pilot or Odyssey with four wheeler shocks you can cook an egg on. CV"s are screaming. Even if ya put the highest temp grease had to be liquified. Then she went to the Biggest loser and got some skinnier legs and everyone was so happy. But no one as much as Honda Pilot? Odyssey Uncle leo's was she was a new woman. My point is dont take drugs. Lil tidbit my brother got run over by an Odyssey in like 85. My cousin was driving. Had some newer knobbies on the back. I swear he had the tire mark left bruises on his chest for 6 weeks. Wind knocked out of him bruised ribs a 6 year old ego. Otherwise, all good. Looking back though, I think I may have missed out on an opportunity to permanently become the favorite boy in the family. Here i was thinking my whole life like " what goes through your head to lay down in front of a vehicle when it's running, what a dippy!" I am the dippy> Darn. Didn't help the public either. Sadly. Pretty sure and last time I checked he is in and out of some like totally cool correctional facilities in the Bay and Northern California. All this weed and ya chose the meth. Way to be complicated. See my point dont drugs. Also Clay oval winged go carts are the best. Feel like Steve Kinser in the 90's in a open cart. Have fun. #CVLIVES #IMSOHOTITURNGREASETOOIL

[@WildAzzRacing]

Really like the idea of bigger tires as ground clearance would be a concern on the places I like to ride. I'm curious if it would have been just as fast as the crosskart tires if it only had a little more horsepower to help with their added weight and drag.
