Recluse Go Kart Plans

I love the Recluse! I am hard on any toy and the Recluse has made it through some amazing things.  We have a lot of fun on the weekends just messing around in the neighborhood. 
Lots of fun to be had here!  I would suggest it to any DIY builder that wants a good project.
Thanks.

The design of the Recluse is so easy to build its silly.  Our duplicate parts method makes it easy for the builder to make parts he is familiar with instead of relearning for each part.  We made it with mostly one type of metal to make it easy on the builder.  Make one trip to the supply store and you are half way there. 

The Recluse plans are a guideline or a basic starting place for the main frame of your project.  We do however give you guidelines to where to buy the hardware for your new frame.  But please note...  we Do NOT cover how to put a wheel on or how to bolt on the motor or how to install the tie-rods, as this will be very easy if you can build the frame!  The parts only go on one way if you have the frame sitting there.  We also have the forum if you get stuck.  Just pop in and ask any questions you might have.

Our customers all have great ideas.  Its great to see what others do with their imagination and skills.

Recluse Go Kart Plans

This is a picture of my recluse that I built using your plans.

The back end was modified to fit a larger motor and give it more room for the larger hubs and sprockets. The frame was extended to fit a larger person in the cart. Also the steering and seat mounting was altered.

I'm 15 years old and made it in my technology class, it took me the entire year to build. I enjoy it a lot and it reached a maximum speed of a 78 KPH with a 6.5 briggs racing motor.

Thanks spidercarts...

Recluse Go Kart Plans

I purchased your plans some time last year, and I think I'm finally done with the exception of tweaking for more speed.

This is the same as yours just the dimensions are a little different, such as, the cart is almost 2' longer, I dialed in a bit of kingpin inclination, the tires are also a different size.

I used a tec motor with a alternator for lights, all the wiring is for the most part pulled through the frame rails.
I also added a hydraulic brake setup.

Without picking out every detail, I just wanted to say the plans and the whole job was very enjoyable and very well laid out. 

The second one is in the process now.............

Thank You,
