How to Build a Go-Kart

Forney Industries teamed up with Joe Mooney from Homesteadonomics to create an off-road go-kart for Mooney to use around his homestead. Mooney wanted a two-seater with suspension to easily navigate his mountainous desert property.

Create your own go-kart plans, or download your favorite online plan. We decided to use the plans from Spidercarts and build “The GrandDaddy” version (you can download this plan and more at Spidercarts.com).

Not all plans are perfect, and some tweaks and adjustments may be necessary. Keep in mind, you can always make it your own and add your own spin on a purchased plan.

Tools and Materials:
• Forney 190 MP welding machine (ITEM# 324)
• .030” MIG wire (ITEM# 42286)
• 1¼” and 1” square tubing (ITEM# 49531 and ITEM# 49528)
• Dry saw
• Angle Grinder
• Cutting and Grinding Wheels (ITEM# 71819 and ITEM# 71925)
• Heavy-duty magnets (ITEM# 70715)
• C-clamps (ITEM# 70225)
• Paint Marker (ITEM# 60310)
• Drill
• Welding Helmet
• Safety Glasses
• Welding Gloves
• Flame Resistant jacket/apron/sleeves
• Go-Kart plans (optional)
