Hey there KJ! I bought your plans and parts list about 6 months ago, haven't gotten around to starting the project just yet. My biggest issue so far has been trying to find A arms. my understanding is that I cannot use two sets of front A arms for this build (front A arms in the front and front A arms in the back). That being the case, Is there a different ATV model i could find IRS a arms that would fit your plans? I am also curious what the eye-to-eye measurement is for the shocks used. The reason I ask all this is I have found it extremely difficult to find a polaris 525 IRS in any useable condition, and the rear suspension parts are equally as difficult to find it seems. if you know of any places to find them that I don't know about, that would be much appreciated!

@KJRaycing Жыл бұрын

Hey, thank you for joining in on the fun! Rear a-arms are included in the plans. They have worked great on everyones builds. The shocks are roughly 16” eye to eye but the chassis is pretty easy going as far as shock mounting so they don’t meed to be a specific length. You can use polaris predator front shocks on all four corners as they are very similar to the outlaw shocks. I’ve been picking them up for under $100 each on ebay. The ktm 525 is definitely my favorite but all kinds of different engines have been used with great success. I hope you get started soon, we all love new builds!

Can I please contract you to build me something like this that is street legal? I have been disabled from a serious motorcycle accident since 1995. I have balance issues that prohibit me from being able to ride a two wheeled motorcycle; but this could agive me back my independence, while also allowing me to once again feel that rush of riding.

I absolutely LOVE what you did on this Kart. I've got a rebuilt R1 engine that I'd love to put in something like this... but I don't have the welding or fabrication skills/tools to do it. Wish I knew where I could buy a frame that would let me drop my motor into!

@KJRaycing Жыл бұрын

Thank you! When it comes to fabrication, the hardest part is to start. Once you bend, notch and weld your first piece it's all downhill. It's extremely difficult to make a roller because there are sooo many different engines out there. Take a crack at starting fab work, you won't be disappointed, and I show you everything step by step. I wish you the best!

This looks way more fun than an ATV. I think that would be a good donor source for all kinds of components, in fact almost everything except the frame. You could probably use much of the front and rear frame clips for the suspension....just fabbing up the cage and cockpit area.

@KJRaycing Жыл бұрын

Yup! That was the idea. And man does it work well! I do make tabs for the suspension just to customize it and align it correctly, but yes. The VF-1 Chassis is a blank canvas for however you want to set up a single seat kart.

Awesome job, I appreciate and definitely notice your fabrication skills, just a heads up, if you throttle up on those jumps it will level out the buggy, just from listening to the sound, when you guys hit the jump, you instantly let off the throttle, causing your nose diving that you guys are experiencing. Go the speed your comfortable at hitting the jump, then once you hit the jump, pretty much go full throttle. You usually wanna hit jumps in a lower gear so you can get your rear wheels up to speed faster while in the air to level out your vehicle.

@KJRaycing Жыл бұрын

Thank you. It always takes guys a few jumps to figure that out but we film all of them, I left the first few in there to show the front end doesn’t dirt dart when you are learning how to jump. I’ve ridden dirt bikes for 20 years so I know about goosing it on the lip. Once guys (and gals) figure this out they can’t get enough!
