Arachnid

Full Suspension Go Kart Plans

Use our full suspension go kart plans to build the Arachnid: our top of the line kart with front and rear suspension and a lot of attitude! It’s an advanced kart with a really aggressive look, and some aggressive performance to boot. If you’re ready for a challenge (and ready to show off), this kart is for you!

Features
The Arachnid is Spidercarts’ first front and rear dual suspension, single seat off-road go kart plan. The kart has huge oversized tires with a seat forward design, giving it a very unique feel and balance. This one of the favorites here at Spidercarts. When one of us want to take a spin on a kart this is one that is taken out a lot! Its fun, impressive looking, and tons of power! Key features of the build out you get from the Arachnid plans are are:

  • Huge 18″ Rear Wheel on Aluminum Axle and Components
  • High Performance Hydraulic Brakes
  • Front Spindle Bracket Springs & Rear Suspension
  • Full Sized Racing Bucket Seats with Padded Covers
  • 1 1/4″ 14 Gauge Square tubing
  • Motor of your choice! Tons of Room for Upgrades!
  • Racing Tie Rods and Ends
  • Fully adjustable alignment and steering

Detailed Blueprints

Each plan gives you all the instructions you need to get going on building your own go kart: 

  • All Measurements and Material Lists
  • Diagrams and Instructions
  • Full Color Photos of Final Product
  • Parts Lists
  • Tools and Shop Tips
  • PDF plans will work on PC or Mac
  • Access to our Go Kart Tek Videos
  • Free Go Kart Spedometer building kit
  • Free Beginner’s Guide to Welding book
  • Free Copy of our Quick-Jack plans

Customization ready
While our plans are very detailed, they are still not “kits.” Most of our customers use the plans as a starting position to launch their own ideas and designs. These plans are a guideline or a basic starting place for the main frame of your project. Virtually all of our customers do some customization of their go karts along the way. We do however give you guidelines to where to buy the hardware for your new frame and what hardware to use. 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.
