How To PROPERLY Build Your Own Death Kart
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
I filmed this when I started on building the ae86 kart but never got around to putting the video together so here it is. I'll be doing one more video that'll explain the cage and how to the kart structurally sound.

Did you catch that rear tire on the driver side? It kind of looks flat at the end.
Noooo not the ae86 dude
Great project. Great video. Looking forward to seeing more of this.
This was cool! Thanks for posting this!
Why would you use a hatch ae86? Looked clean.

pretty sure i can hear that sawzall crying for mercy lol
I'm currently building one out of a subaru impreza RS! I don't have a tube bender and it would be really cool to see a video of how to make a strong kart with no tube bender. Keep the vids coming!

Your best bet would be to buy a prebent cage kit for the Main hoop and a pillars. It wouldn’t be safe to have miters instead of bends

Square tube looks like super ghetto and like I said before mitered and welded joints aren’t nearly as strong as bends
Thanks was just wondering if it would be a good LS substitute as I cannot find one for under 2 Grand that runs

Just a tip for anyone about to do this. It's a good idea to tack weld in a couple tubes from the a pillar base to near the rear shock mount in an x pattern. This will prevent the chassis from twisting or moving once you remove all the structure of the roof.

I know there's tons of variables, but what's the roll cage estimated price tag for a death kart? 5k? 10k?

Can u go over the cage design a bit? I ain't never built nothing before and went all in by cutting my crx lol. Your videos have been extremely helpful

The best place to start is look at the rule book for where you plan to use your car, design your cage based on their tech rules. Likely since a kart doesn't have doors and stuff you may want to add to it, but the rule book is a good place to start. Not planning on taking your car to a track? I would suggest looking at the scca rules for autocross or time attack. Or perhaps the rules for a pro/am formula drift car?
Can you make some more of these I'm trying to build an off-road version of a death kart and I'm using a fox body mustang could use some more pointers to base mine off of

For the cage make sure to use proper sized tubing, lots of triangulation and good welds

My I don't know if you can call death Kart is going to be a lot heavier due to undercarriage skid plates things of those Nature's it's going to be designed almost completely different I'm just basing the whole principle idea off of the death Kart
I was a bit sad to see the AE die... But always down to recycle and repurpose things!

Hey bud, first off, killer videos and designs. I’ve watched most your videos and a lot or comments and maybe I’ve missed it but curious as to what tubing you go with on your karts and any specs you go by? TIA!!

Im thinking of doing this to my old lexus. It's not worth selling so I might as well turn it into something cool and practice tig welding instead of me always busting out the flux mig
Not to sh1t on what you're doing here man, but watching you carry that 1/4 of a car off the chassis by yourself sorta leaves me wondering... by the time you tube frame this thing, is it actually any lighter than stock?

wtf that 86 why dude why
i feel like this is kinda a waste since the ae86 suspension is too basic you'd be better off with almost any other car as a base. you could have had independent rear and better and cheaper access to replacement parts

Couldn't even watch this, what a disgrace to a legendary car. Even if I was rich I wouldn't hack up no ae86, unless it was completely destroyed. Whoever the customer is needs a slap to the face & kick in the groin.
