Two Seat Crosskart: Driver Fit Up

One of my favorite parts of building these; there's nothing like the first time you get to sit in your machine and turn the wheels. It also makes pushing it around a lot easier. I hope this simple and effective approach is useful the the VF-2 builders along with the VF-1 and other custom builds.
The video shows the final rendition of the steering shaft, at the end of the video is the first attempt and the u-joints were binding. The video would have been too long if I showed both set ups. Enjoy the build.

definetly some of the best crosskart content on youtube

[@KJRaycing]

Thanks man! That’s awesome 👍

[@davecarnevale8017]

This is shaping up to be the next great thing, looking forward to seeing it up close again soon

[@KJRaycing]

We are going to make some kids smile with this one!

[@MW_Builds]

Great content Kyle!

[@dougjohnson6265]

absolutely love how you show that things don't always workout the first time around and then you go back to the drawing board to make it work...great work as always Kyle...looking forward to the next episode

[@KJRaycing]

I think it’s important to show the process. It leads to solutions and there’s always more than one way to do it. Thank you for the feedback and the support. 👍

[@williamlanphar630]

Coming along nicely !!

[@Hitycooking]

Nice work bro 👍👍👍👍👍

[@index5437]

Just found this build series, really good looking design with plenty of versatility. Building a kart of my own has always been something I've wanted to do. Do your designs come in metric measurements to save converting, or imperial only? Not sure if your program gives you an output option to easily swap between the two.

[@KJRaycing]

Thank you! I’m currently working on getting them in both metric and imperial. It’s not as easy as you would think (at least not in plan form). There are several builders that have taken the time to do the conversions themselves with success. I just use “hey siri, what is 4 5/8 inches in millimeters?” Works like a charm. I wish you the best and thank you again.

[@la_plata3588]

I'm using a crossfire 150 as my first build setting up seats can suck doing it by yourself

[@KJRaycing]

Nice! A racing seat will make you love your kart like it’s the first time you’re driving it. I’ve gotten used to working alone. I’ll call in help from time to time but this is my hobby after all… I always call in help for testing though 🤓

[@georgesayre8225]

Seats look sweet, but how would they be on a 3-4 hr ride up in the mtns… as in comfort……

[@KJRaycing]

The seats are extremely comfortable. I’d say more comfortable than stock rzr seats. If leisurely trail rides are your goal I would set up the driver position towards that. There may be enough room for a lexus 8 way power seat!

[@Dominik_Kopecny]

Hi! What machine are the front weights from, please? :) And how do we choose shock absorbers?

[@shawnbassplayer]

You could have left the angle iron as you originally wanted it, but have the bolts come from the side instead of the bottom.

[@KJRaycing]

You know I never even thought about drilling through the sides of the brackets, good call and thank you! I’m planning on adding seat sliders so I was stuck on the idea of mounting it on top. I will definitely revisit seat mounting with your suggestion, thank you.

[@timshinnastyhayes5847]

The seats are so awesome and the kids seat. Where did you get them?

[@KJRaycing]

Amazon for the racing seats and 50 caliber racing for the off road booster seat.

[@user-ch1ge4uz4n]

hello how you are doing, hope all its fine . i like that and i want to know how much that cost ?.

[@djalaladv1289]

Good job please what is the chock use in front a arms

[@KJRaycing]

Oh that’s easy… check the channel 👍

[@matthewett6302]

I'm interested in purchasing some plans for a cross kart, just wondering if theres a set of plans with metric measurements?

[@KJRaycing]

The conversion is very easy and there have been a lot of metric builders with 100% success on their builds. The plans do not include the CAD to make them affordable. I hope you get the chance to build one 🦾

[@waltermarshall7257]

Ah man i want to build one so bad,any plans or blueprints available,please please please🙏

[@KJRaycing]

Check the description for links to plans and other fun stuff! I can’t wait to see you build!

[@cristianramoniturra3987]

Hola me encanta me pasarías el diseño y las medidas

[@KJRaycing]

Kj-raycing.dpdcart.com

[@Tyresong]

so I pause at 6:09 and I'm wondering why you dont just swap the L plates from side to side so everything is outside of the seat, (room permitting)

[@KJRaycing]

The answer to that is at 5:09. I also tried flipping the NRG seat brackets but that didn’t work either. The L plates are just tacked in so when I get the sliders I’ll try some other configurations. But I would also be okay with leaving them how they are.

[@foto90ol9]

Hola soy suscrito al tuyo me gusta mucho tu canal porque tú no arregla el carro de 200 🇩🇴🇩🇴😀😀

[@ryannickfabrication]

Does that have bump steer? The way the rack isn't parallel with the lower control arms causes bump steer right?

[@KJRaycing]

Vertical placement of the rack deosn’t cause bump steer. The position of the rack ends/tie rod ends causes/reduces bump steer. That’s why I make mine adjustable. There is a video on my channel showing exactly how I do it to get minimal to zero bump steer.

[@bobbywright2100]

When I purchase the plans for one of your kits, Do you give a list of how many feet of what pipe, angle iron ect. we would need to build your crosscart? That would be awesome that way I could call my metal supplier order what I need with 1 purchase. I know a person is going to need the things like flat plat well let’s just say a lot more but to get the bulk of what I need in the beginning would save a lot of time and money. Because my supplier charges a delivery fee. Thanks Bobby Wright

[@KJRaycing]

Yes. It is all explained in the plans by type and size of tube needed. Flat bar requirements are not in the plans but most guys can but that locally. Thank you for the interest!

[@respect4random878]

sir i really admire about your skill............. sir can i ask something //?

[@KJRaycing]

[@KJRaycing]

You can find them on my channel in the crosskart specifications video.

[@Dominik_Kopecny]

Hi. Wheels are R12 or R10 please? And what tire size?

[@KJRaycing]

I use 10’s and 12’s. 22-25” tires.
