I deff woulda bought one of these if they were available when i was shopping. KSC was my first choice for size/fun. Couldent afford turnkey though so that combined with no kits and no financing i looked elseware...

WOW!!!!! you would have bought this over the mosebuilt...!!! Do tell why!!!! ifly.gif

At the time of looking/learning it seemed that the KSC was the only car I would ever have a chance of fitting in my trailer. It seemed so lean and strait forward..

All that changed when John said " its only metal". Infact I spent the better part of today wrenching on my mosebilt and I wouldnt have done anything diffrent...

Im just getting back to the site someone had asked for pictures of our 2 seater 91" wheelbase 77"-80" overall width depending on tires and 124"-144" overall length depending on motor package. The car can be set up for Motorcycle, snowmobile style(CVT Trans),Ecotec with a Vw trans or sideways with a CvT.Thanks for looking.












And a couple pics of a car ready to race a 7 day Australian Safari 800KM per day

What the "base model" 2 seater come with for drivetrain? Cost?
GOOTJR
Hello Brian
There isnt really a base model. The last three have been differant motor and transmissions. Two of them have brought thier own motors. One was a brand new 750cc turbo charged German Weber motor with a RPM gearbox, one was a GSXR 750 with a spooled rear end and the other one was a stock Ecotec and a 091 bus box.

moof.gif Build the King car....you won't be disappointed!!

That Bajakart is a sharp looking car. Can they be set up for bypasses on the front? 2D? power steering?

I would think if that car were fully sorted out, it could give any of the other mini's a run for they're money.

Kennerz
Thanks!! We have not set one up with front bypass yet. We havnt needed them, we did do 2.5" Kings all the way around on the last one. There is room for a 2D( I assume your talking about a Mendi) and any motor. We do the rear of the cage in two lengths one for the Ecos that will except larger motors also and a shorter one for MC and sideways Ecos. We used a electric power steering unit on a car we are sending to race 7 days in a row 800km per day. It seems to be a very smooth operating package and simple to use with no hydraulc line. After 7 days we should have a good idea on reliability.This is the car going to Australia for the 7 day race.

OB,
Fork lift operators are not the skinniest bunch of people, not sure if you fit the mold. Maybe you should see if you could get into a KSC. I know that my wife is 110 lbs wet and she said the ckicken coop was too small even for her on the KSC. Sweet cars and one of the best out there IMO. I would like to see you build one. I like the build threads.
GOOTJR
Our cars are very roomy for two adults, we use the Twisted Stitch extra wide seats. There is lots of leg room, when we designed the car we looked at the foot room in a full size 4 seat Alumicraft and made some changes so we actually have more room around your feet. In this picture the driver is 5'10" foot and the seats are raised 4" off the floor.

I'm not a forklift operator.

I'm a "Machinery Mover"........ poke.gif

I wish I had the work to support a build right now...... dunno.gif

Maybe EBK would make me a good deal and I can turn Breanna's EBK into a 2 seater for her and a friend sraptor.gif

Time to take the meds - I have not heard the predator was made in China. Are you sure we are talking about the same car? They are also made well enough to finish Baja. Anway, OB, have you not heard the saying - Once you go Asian, you never go caucasian. LOL

Not taking the meds. Nope....wont do it.

My big forklift would finish Baja if I drove slow enough..... 1cheff.gif

How do you move that machinery? Forklift? Or point a finger? Anyways maybe you should climb into a KSC before you buy and build.
I do think those EBK are really cool!
