Good plans for a racing type frame?

[roflitskyle]

Hi all,

I am new to this go karting, and I really want to build a racing style frame. I just don't know where to get them. If any of you could point me in the correct direction, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

I've had a chance to briefly look over the plans you linked to me. I think that they will suffice, modified slightly to suit your needs. The only real PITA I see so far is that the dimensions are all in Metric. Being Canadian, I am familiar with the metric system. Doesn't mean I work in it, though!

FTR, mm/25.4=inches

To give you an example, look at the front spindles (stub axle)- you'll see a shoulder in the middle of it, and a stepped down area at the end. This can be simplified- the shoulder is replaceable with a commonly available lock collar. The stepped portion at the end can remain straight. At that point, the wheel can still be retained by several good methods.

Thank you, if I can't find anything else, I will probably just go with these plans.
