Welcome to the forum. Free plans are tough to come by, here included. You see, folks that perform the R&D need to be compensated for their efforts- nobody likes to work for free, and "nice" doesn't pay the bills. If you cruise the main page of this site (not the forum) there IS some stuff to get you started.

Welcome to the forum.

PS- FWIW, it IS worth it to purchase engineered plans. As a general atatement, it's going to cost you to scratchbuild a decent kart, and the plans should be considered part of the material costs.

If building a simple ladder kart you shouldn't really need plans. Just measure the components you have and draw on some scrap paper.

Anything more complicated and the plans take a lot of effort to make, hence people don't just give them away.

My opinion is if 15 bucks is too much for you then you may want to considernot building a kart and just have someone push you around in a wagon, you are looking at bucks to build one.

really, you can look at a bazillion pics of karts and figure out the basics. by reading through the forum here you can learn specifics, like what parts are good to use, and how to install/mount them. i learned by trial and error (am still learning, lol).

dirtdevil and sidewinder plans are on torrent sites but don't expect to be able to afford to make them unless you have 2k plus welder and machine shop

OK, mxk.com, then click on "Free Gokart Plan". Then click on "Free Gokart Plans (BETA TEST)". The page will look like a forum. Then under where it says Subject click on what you want to see. Tie Rods, Figure H, Figure G , A&B, F, E, C&D, Motor Mount Plate, ect. You can print the pictures, or right click with you mouse, and select save picture as ..., to save the picture on your computer.
