Budget Crosskart Build #7: Foot Controls and Steering
Вставка
- Опубліковано 13 кві 2022
- I finished up the seat and tackled the steering and pedals. Since this kart does not have a clutch I'm running the steering rack on the back side of the steering hub to allow steering geometry for ackerman. Lack of ackerman in my other karts has never been an issue, but since I have the option I may as well try it out. The pedals you see in the video are kind of a "rough draft"; I am going to re-do them in the same method but make them so they bolt to the kart instead of weld in (so they are adjustable). Just a simple change that I will highlight in a future video. Thank you for tuning in.

My day just got better!!!!!!!!!
🖖👍💪😎
I really enjoy these videos...i also don't think you talk too much as someone had said...the more information you provide for people like me to be educated the better...keep the videos coming my friend
Thank you. I needed that. I’m not sensitive to the feedback but I do try and make the videos better from it. There would have been some driving action in this one but the pred 420 has been sitting a little too long and needs some attention.
loving this series bro!! awesome to see you building it using parts anyone can afford
Thank you, sir! It makes it so much more fun to build, and I’m enjoying the challenge of finding simpler cost effective solutions.
Looks great man. Always stoked when I see your videos rolling out. Keeps me motivated. Once I Finnish my new workshop I’ll be working on a build and your videos are invaluable. Thanks again for all your hard work .
Thank you and thank you. I can’t wait to see your build. I’ll keep putting videos out if you guys keep watching them 😁.
So much good usefull info in your videos. Love them. Thank you!!
Thank you!
I can’t wait to see this finished!
Me either, this one has been really fun in it’s simplicity.
I love your work. I’m trying to get somethin built also
Heck yeah man! Thank you.
Looks great!!
Thank you!
You read my mind on this one...I was thinking of using the GoPowersports pedals and steering as well.
Only the pedals are GPS. The rest of the steering components were sourced from ebay or amazon. Those pedals turned out pretty sweet though and gave me some confidence in maybe just building my own from now on.
Your videos have been very helpful. Thank you! I'm a bit stuck on lengthening clutch / throttle cables from CBR600.
Thank you very much! I use new cables for that stuff. So worth it and cables can be inexpensive and worth it.
Killer kart dude! Can’t wait to see it in person at busco again!
Busco is definitely on my mind for this build. A pred 420 that can tackle that place would be huge!
@@KJRaycing we 420 swapped a yerf dog a couple years ago and it was mean at busco! Your kart is way better built so it should go full send no problem!
when you're done and it's time to paint, the back finish of the pipe looks good, so I think you should consider a matte black frame with brushed Aluminium panels, and a low mounted wrap around rear spoiler👍
I will definitely consider that. I already have a black one but the matte black with the brushed aluminum would look pretty sweet. Not sure what you mean by the wrap around spoiler though…
I see you added the steering wheel cap I made for you in this video. Turned out great
The new wheel came in the mail mid shoot and I was so pumped to put it in. They look so great. I’ll give it a specific shout out and credit in the next video (I wanted to put it in the first drive video because everyone watches those). Thank you again.
A simple explanation of Akermann, most people say it's so the front wheels are turning around the same point which prevents either wheel from scrubbing or skidding, and allows both wheels to achieve maximum grip, which is correct... Adding Toe out on the other hand makes the inside wheel scrub on purpose... this creates additional resistance on the inside and causes a breaking effect on the inside wheel (electronic stability control does this also) the breaking effect on the inside tries to slow the inside allowing the outside to overtake it, THIS IS WHAT IMPROVES TURN IN!
Thank you, that is a much better explanation than I gave. The physics and tuning of cars is just cool.
The cheap billet go kart pedals from eBay are the best by far to use, they have tons of adjustability aspects and there made really good too especially for $50!
Just looked them up, definitely seems like a good deal. I bought all the axle parts from gopowersports.com and just got the pedals while I was there. I definitely like the look of them; they’re a little more baja than the billet ones. Thank you for the idea, definitely putting that in the idea book.
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Tire size f/r? Engine displacement gear tooth size?
Буду краток, посмотрел, понравилось, подписался лайк поставил👍. У меня всё.
Excellent view and explanation of the ackerman. This is a fun one. You going to race it against the other when it's finished?
Thank you. I’m going to smoke the other ones with this… but seriously, I’m definitely going to see how it stacks up against them.
I have too much throw in my pedal. I bought a 30mm carb and billet intake manifold for my 670cc predator and got stuck wide open smh the ruts in the field
I’ve already refined the pedal build. I’ll put a vid up with the refined design that has adjustable pedal stops.
Do you have any plans for a 2 seater cross kart
Coming very very soon. Chassis is built and I’m editing the build video right now.
What length shocks are those on front?
Around 18”
What do you think the overall material cost for this build is gonna be as you've built it?
So metal prices went up 25%… usually the steel costs under $1000.00. I don’t really have a strict budget for this one. The goal is to make it really safe as there are two souls on board. Should be similar to the single seater though.
@@KJRaycing the single-seater budget build is the one I'm asking about
Budget is under 2k and so far I’m definitely under that. But again I bought the steel before prices went up. So it is probably around 2100 or 2200 until prices go back down…
I see that you referred to metal as dom but 1020 1026 or for predator 212 with 14hp can I use
MILD STEEL ROUND TUBE STRUCTURAL (WELDED) hot /cold rolled more interested in teaching kids fab and welding
Not racing
Looking at budget build
Have already bought v1 plans and buying guide
Do you have anything for sale
Everyone asks and no one ever puts up an offer…
