Introduction

CSG-Go stands for Carrito Small Grid – Go.

It is an entry‑level Carrito-compatible vehicle platform developed by
Zero Percent Entertainment. The goal of the platform is to demonstrate
how practical vehicles can be built through distributed collaboration
between independent shops while maintaining compatibility with the
Carrito system.

CSG-Go is designed to be simple, modular, and adaptable so that
different builders can participate in the creation, modification, and
improvement of the vehicle.

Design Goals

The CSG-Go platform was designed around several key objectives:

• Highway-capable operation
• Modular vehicle architecture
• Independent shop participation
• Future component compatibility
• Simple fabrication methods

These goals allow the vehicle to remain flexible while still being
practical for real-world use.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Why the Platform Exists

Traditional vehicle manufacturing requires extremely large factories and
centralized supply chains. This makes it difficult for smaller builders
and fabrication shops to participate in vehicle production.

The CSG-Go platform explores a different approach.

Instead of one factory building every vehicle, the platform encourages a
network of independent builders who collaborate through shared
documentation and compatibility concepts.

Different shops can participate in different parts of the build process
depending on their capabilities.

Examples include:

• frame fabrication • suspension installation • drivetrain installation
• electrical system installation • final assembly

Each builder remains independent and sets their own pricing and
services.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Reference Geometry

The initial CSG-Go template uses geometry compatible with the Goblin V1
kit car platform.

This approach provides several advantages:

• proven suspension geometry • availability of compatible components •
simplified fabrication reference • known drivetrain compatibility

Using an established geometry makes it easier for builders to understand
how the platform behaves while still allowing modifications and
experimentation.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ecotec Drivetrain Compatibility

The early template uses the Chevrolet Ecotec drivetrain because it is
widely available and well understood by many automotive builders.

However, the platform is designed around a standardized engine envelope
rather than a specific engine. This means the physical space allocated
for the engine is intentionally larger than required for the initial
drivetrain.

The goal is to allow future engines or alternative power systems to be
installed later without requiring major frame modifications.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rear Modular Dock

One of the defining features of the CSG-Go platform is the Rear Modular
Dock.

This structural area allows builders to attach additional modules to the
rear of the vehicle without modifying the main frame.

Examples of potential modules include:

• cargo platforms • tool racks • utility frames • passenger extension
modules

The modular dock allows the vehicle to evolve over time as builders
develop new accessories and expansions.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Vehicle Tiers

The CSG-Go platform supports a tier-based build system.

Builders may offer different build levels depending on the quality of
components used and the level of finish provided.

Example tier structure:

Tier 1 – Budget
Tier 2 – Basic
Tier 3 – Standard
Tier 4 – Enhanced
Tier 5 – Premium

Builders may also designate certain builds as:

NHW – Not Highway Compatible

This allows shops to produce simplified vehicles when highway
performance is not required.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Platform Flexibility

CSG-Go is intentionally designed to be flexible.

Builders are encouraged to experiment with:

• body styling • component selection • accessory systems • utility
modules

As long as the core structural concepts remain intact, the platform can
support a wide variety of configurations.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Relationship to the Carrito Ecosystem

CSG-Go is one example of a vehicle platform developed using the Carrito
system.

Other builders may create entirely different vehicle platforms while
still using the same compatibility philosophy.

The success of the ecosystem depends on experimentation and
collaboration between builders who are interested in developing
practical mobility solutions.
