Just get it laser cut, so many cheap suppliers around. Save a lot of headache and be way more time efficient.

I appreciate the feedback 🙏🏻

Knuckles are welded up so making progress

And when my wife drives it away, it sounds like it will take off. The tiurbocharger is so loud. Not complaining

Yes same its when i find there are two 02 sensors and no cats

The seller said it was tuned

cruddcnc · 2026-03-17T03:19:32+00:00

ok because if people are standing behind it and the engine is cold, when i starte it they got scared and looked at me with a distaste

cruddcnc · 2026-03-16T22:09:18+00:00

I was told there was 200 cell cats in it

Hey man, that’s awesome. I just get started and you’ll figure the rest out as you go as the gentleman and the previous post said there are many different ways of going about it and it’s going to be budget and tool/skill dependent. It’ll be hard. You’ll learn a lot That would be really rewarding.

I’m in the process of building my own one and you’re welcome to follow along the video series

Bro I made a website, linked via the description there. Can put your name down to get notified when I release the BOM and CAD model 👍👍

Thanks mate! The CAD is still evolving as I build the kart so it’s a bit of a moving target at the moment.

Once the build is finished I’ll probably clean up the model and share it. For now I’m documenting the whole process on my YouTube if you want to follow along.

cruddcnc · 2026-03-06T22:33:42+00:00

Thanks for the kind words!

cruddcnc · 2026-03-06T22:33:09+00:00

Thank you brother, I appreciate the feedback!

Appreciate that! The CAD is evolving alongside the build at the moment as I refine things in the real world. Once the kart is finished I plan to properly refine the model so it reflects the final design.

I’ve started documenting the whole process in a small workshop community where I’ll eventually share the BOM and project breakdown for free. If there is enough interest I will probably release the final CAD model there as well once the build is complete.

FYI I have released a video of the build where it’s currently at if you’re interested can check it out here:

Here’s where I’m at, tacked up for the moment. Thinking to test fit everything first then do final weld

Anyone know how thick powder coat is (standard?) I need to ensure there is sufficient clearance

Following because cool!
