Crosskart Builder Package (KJ Raycing VF1/VF2)**

Description

These packages were developed by Rogue Fab with the help of KJ Raycing to give you everything you need to build your own crosskarts in your shop. Choose your chassis and suspension options, then decide between our three trim levels: Base, Shop or Pro! If you have never heard of crosskarts or the plans from KJ racing, you should check out their web page at KJ Racing Web Page (Crosskart Project Plans). We have no formal affiliation with KJ, they just have the most complete, accurate, and easy to follow crosskart plans we have ever seen. KJ designed a single seat kart called the VF-1, and a 2 seater (side by side) called the VF-2. If you are not sure which one you will build, or which suspension you will be designing, just select the VF-1 option… It includes EVERY die for every option on both the VF-1 and VF-2! Easy!

Here is a summary of each package:

Base Level: The most budget friendly option, includes a Weld Together 601 Bender kit and dies necessary to build crosskarts as well as an air/hydraulic ram (sold separately). This kit will require you to notch tubes by hand (with a grinder, saw, etc) OR you can add a VersaNotcher to your order separately.

Shop Level: The shop level includes a welded/powder coated M605 as well as all the necessary dies and an option to pick air/hydraulic ram or electric/hydraulic ram (both sold separately). This kit also includes a VersaNotcher with pedestal mount, and an assortment of 1.5″ deep hole saws for notching. This set combines value and convenience for an excellent experience.

Pro Level: The pro level kit is the highest spec designed to work the fastest and endure the most abuse! This includes a welded/powder coated M625 bender, an option to purchase separately a full 2HP Electric/Hydraulic power system with auto bending stop, and more! The larger hole saws are upgraded to our 3″ depth saws as well.

PLEASE NOTE: KJ RAYCING PLANS LIST 1.5″ X .083″ TUBING FOR MANY CHASSIS PARTS. THIS SIZE WILL NOT BEND ON OUR 1.5″ X 4.5″ CLR DIE SET WITHOUT A MANDREL ATTACHMENT. YOU WILL NEED TO USE AT LEAST .105″ WALL THICKNESS TUBE FOR ACCEPTABLE BEND QUALITY ON THE 1.5″ X 4.5″ CLR DIE SET

We can make changes to ANY of these packages. We can change the assembly to be weld together, powder coated, etc. We can swap or add dies, anything you need! Just contact us.

Machine hydraulic power requirements: The air/hydraulic option consumes 6 cubic feet of compressed air per minute (CFM) at 110 PSI,  and requires no electricity at all. As long as your compressor has a storage tank, you don’t necessarily need 6+ CFM. Our other hydraulic systems are Electric/Hydraulic. The 1.5HP Elec/Hydro system draws ~8.1 amps at 220-250 volts AC. The 2.0 HP system draws ~12.5 amps at 220-250 volts AC. Our systems are designed for 60hz power (contact us for 50hz options if needed). They can also run on 208V power. We can wire our 2HP system for 110V at your request, but it pulls over 25A and is a highly unpopular configuration.
