Sir, thank you for unlocking the secrets to design creation. Your drafting skills are impeccable! Love your lettering style. Thank you for the inspiration.

[@jjjameson4712]

Scaling and drawing seem easy when viewed from this end of the screen. Your skills are exemplary.

[@TreDeuce-qw3kv]

Beautiful execution of the drawings,...👍👍

[@stevevinson6030]

Fantastic Dennis. Your drawings are "Art". Very well done.

[@dennisthomas8597]

Thanks Steve, I guess taking mechanical drafting in 8th grade (part of several required shop classes) has served me well.

[@jimbob78ify]

I’ve spent my entire career as a mechanical engineer endeavoring to make drawings as well-executed as yours. Bravo

[@dennisthomas8597]

That is very nice of you to say JB. Your comment means a lot to me coming from a Journeyman engineer. Thank you!

[@victorleger7]

Thanks very much for sharing your time & consideration. You are a good mentor, you inspire me. I absolutely learned so much in this 10 min. Video. Great club, great people. Vic

[@dennisthomas8597]

Thanks for following along Victor. It would make me very happy to see you join the brotherhood of builders. Thanks for watching and for your kind words.

Thanks for watching, we are have a great time!

[@baronbristow8764]

Looking good! Working on my own at the moment.

[@dennisthomas8597]

Send me some pictures if you get the chance. I would love to see your progress. My email is: [e-mail]. For anyone who emails me I will send my notes and drawings from my builds. I don't charge anything, I just want to promote the sport and get more people building.

[@tomtruesdale6901]

Outstanding drawings Dennis, way way better than what I can come up with. What front axle are you planning on using, one of Renegades? Kart is going to look fantastic.

[@dennisthomas8597]

Thanks for you kind comments Tom. You are correct, we are using the Renegade front axle. We are also using pretty much everything he sells. Thanks for watching!

Beautiful drawings. But I'm confused about the track. On your top view it looks like the front track (centerline to centerline) is 38", and the rear 39". I thought the maximum width was supposed to be around 39". Or is that just a 'guideline'? Thanks.

[@hadlock]

What are your thoughts on doing 5" below the frame vs 3" or 4"? When the foam compresses down, you get the driver's butt about 3.5" below the frame? is 5" enough ground clearance for a dirt track

[@dennisthomas8597]

Some guys are running at about 3" off the ground. They bottom out on uneven surfaces. I recommend that the bottom of the tub be 4 to 4.5" off the ground and you won't have any clearance issues. Thanks

I'm interested in getting started with building my own CycleKart, but I'm not sure where I can find drawings for a chassis-- if there even are any. Any suggestions or leads?
