Any Free Chassis Building Plans Out There?

[Robert's 420 Rocket]

I Looked at the "grand daddy" chassis, as well as many others, and I am ready to build a 2-seater, starting this weekend, but i'd like to find some Free plans to work off of. Does anyone have any free plans they would share with me, or know where i could find some Free plans? During my build, I will keep in mind to document my chassis, and all it's components, and sizes of parts ordered, with part numbers and detailed descriptions, and take lots of pictures, and i will post free detailed chassis plans. When I get into projects, I order what I need, what I would order if it was free, that way, I order what is perfect for the project, and i try not to think too much of the price of items i order up. If i would put pricing first, then the projects would all suffer in quality and durability etc.
'buy what you want/need,,, not what you can afford' if you can't afford it, save up and get it later.
thank you so very much everyone

In short, no. The long answer would be also no unfortunately.

No, there arent really any good free plans. For the money you will spend making a 2 seater kart, buying plans that work will be one of the cheaper buys.
You could try google for some plans and you will find some, but they are sometimes quite simple and hard to follow.
Have a look through all the threads here on the forum about people building karts. Often the thread itself will help you build your own kart

Say it isn’t so! Glorious Leader Robert has provided one and two seater plans:

I would like to think they are good plans. Up to you to decide if they are excellent plans, very good plans or whatever.

60 doll hairs for the grand daddy plans from spider kart sound cheap to me.

Shoot, just by looking at a picture of the finished kart/buggy that’s like “free plans“ to me. Seems easy to extrapolate it all out IF you can think in 3D…

Who is the person or persons behind this kart? Anyone know?

Gonna start a build thread. Will probably take off slow. I'm in the process of finishing my mega moto 212 in time for Redbeards meetup in May. The build will be copied after a kart my brother built. Starting with a yerd dog spiderbox. I was able to pick one up cheap the other day. Only thing...

EZTrail's build is a current one and just the type he is looking for. Good start for him to go through. It's not a "scratch" build, but could learn a lot.

Right, I agree. The base kart is a Yerf-Dog so even if he started with a bare-bones sort of flat chassis (classic kart with no cage), anything is possible after that if you wanted to build it up to resemble a Grand Daddy.
