Description: Electric Buggy Build - Crosskart, Ep 1: Steel Tube Chassis In this video I begin building the 55 kw off road electric crosskart buggy. Crosskarts are basically large, powerful off road go karts that are typically raced on dirt and ice rally tracks. I'm not a pro racer, so mine will be designed with a bit more ground clearance for ripping up the trails instead. A breakdown of how I made the chassis and with what materials can be found at my blog: renewablesystemstechnology.com/project-blog/building-an-electric-crosskart-the-chassis Crosskart specs: Motor - 55 kW (74 hp) liquid cooled Motenergy 1616 Battery - 96V, 9.6 kWh LiFePo4 Controller - Kelly KLS96601-8080I/IPS sinusoidal wave Transmission - Chain drive w/ Honda CR-V limited slip differential, CV axles Wheelbase - 77" (196 cm) Track - 60" Suspension - front & rear independent double wishbone w/ coil over shocks, 8" (200 mm) travel Ground clearance - 10" (280 mm) Wheels & tires - 22x7-10 front, 22x10-9 rear, Wanda sport tires Tube notcher build video: youtu.be/a4zL720_EDo Support RST and get rewards like early access to ad free videos: patreon.com/resystech youtube.com/channel/UCtrf6ZiE6hw3k77hGpnuQWg/join Follow RST on Facebook: facebook.com/RenewableSystemsTechnology
