Yea it does look uncomfortable and I have no pics of the suspension but I am trying to create something using these designs btw what is the vehicle in your avatar called btw I have been searching tirelessly:mad: I am using solidworks and AutoDesk inventor to design the chassis and other...

What do you think about this one? http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r72/iceman8446/04-09-08_1124.jpg

I dont plan on using junk parts but i dont know which material is best for the frame or some plans i can work from. I probably will have to design it myself but I dont have any thing to work from in terms of basic lay out.

I am trying to do something like this http://t0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQYs64OA2mXj4xHU3K7hsVOI4vvAIh-T8sOCJy-QvTVZ_eTIT-pIA I want a slightly long and narrow chassis and sort of low. If its high I wouldnt feel safe driving it without a roll cage. I can not find a single plan! My...

Cool story :cool: I usually weld truck axles sometimes but I learned to do that in 4 days so that's as far as my skills go but I did do some metal work in high school. I know a very good welder who can do the welding for me. The first two pictures are what I really want to go with and I am...

Not really I am thinking more like these minus all the fancy stuff and re designed for one person. http://t0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQYs64OA2mXj4xHU3K7hsVOI4vvAIh-T8sOCJy-QvTVZ_eTIT-pIA http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRLeuG8kYAgahUXZo-T9Bu0kb6AIfPqf0gpIUQzSoR5597-i0yH Not so...

well google sketch up has its merits Solidworks and BendPro ftw:thumbsup: I will be messing around with the measurements later thanks.

That looks like a good choice would making the frame it a little longer be ok? i am 6 ft 2 and it seems really uncomfortable for someone tall. So where should I start?

While searching I found this http://www.diygokarts.com/vb/showthread.php?t=10975&highlight=Formula+kart This what I think this is the design I am going to work with and it looks like it can d=handle not so smooth surfaces because the go kart track (the nearest ones) is kinda neglected. I just...

I dont want to totally go off road. I still want to keep the go kart theme i want to keep the sweet acceleration that a go kart has. Most of my runs will be on pavement just not very smooth. Something around this...

yea! Something like the second pic but what about a good suspension wouldnt that make it a little less bit bumpy. I think one of those can handle a higher CC engine , yes? I can work with that EDIT; something like this but a one seater? http://www.motormaxintl.com/July12Update/storyICON4.jpg

Thanks for the info and for the welcome. Oh I see I wanted to go all out but not at the cost of my life :oops: I am from Jamaica so i can not use craigslist only ebay because what I have to do is give shipping address of a courier in Miami then they ship it to my country. So what motor...

Where do I start? I want to build something like this http://http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_nQW0jsqv4Y&feature=channel_video_title what type of frame would I use. My budget is around $2500 I wanted to go with an f1 car type design but I am not sure if it would work. I have been...
