- In this video we get to finally see what this mini trophy truck project can do here at Windrock. on the first day we wanted to hit trail 16 to really test this machine and it handled it really well. But I only had 32" tires which made ground clearance an issue.

Man, don’t know how many times I’ve commented on your videos about tire pressure but you sure do love to run things with 30 psi in the tires. Drop your pressures and it will ride and climb much better.
That myth is for if you drive in sand……
@@jammerlupardi8782 No it's not lol. It helps in snow, it helps on rocks as well.
@@jammerlupardi8782 Or if you don’t know what you’re talking about and try to sound like you do on RUclips…
@@ThePatillac Don’t argue with trolls. They bring you down to their ignorance level and try to beat you with experience.
@@jammerlupardi8782 I have never heard anything more wrong in my life
honestly, this machine is way more capable than you think it is , but as much i hate to say it, you are too gentle on it, just give the bean man. much love
This. It's a busa motor. Dial up more rpm and let the tyres be the clutch!
i know youre saying that youre struggling to keep up with that rzr, but youre keeping up with it with a vehicle you made yourself from scratch. thats super impressive.
He’s a great example of built not bought 😂
The "Recluse" clutch would make it effortless...I love mine in the woods!
Came into the comments section to suggest the same.
I dont think they make them
For sport bike engines but i do know its possible
So impressed. All I kept thinking was you built that single handed in your shed and look what it’s doing , so cool 👌
Considering you built that 100% yourself it performed just as well as the purchased vehicles. Really proved what a brilliant job you did. You should be very proud of what you have created.
Don't forget, that motor makes the vast majority of its torque far above the RPM levels you were driving. It's a sport bike motor. once the clutch is engaged, you have to keep it above 6K rpm to make any significant torque. I know it sounds like it's screaming at 4000, but it's not even getting started!
That thing handled those trails like a champ! Good job on the build.
Nice to see you taking a break and enjoying the toys you built. Those locker controls turned out pretty cool. Articulation is really nice too.
Get a Recluse clutch for the motor, it's either manual or centrifugal clutch
I second that, if they make one for that model engine/trans. My only concern would be it holding up to the weight of the vehicle.
@@Chopped93VX with the secondary transmission and always running either low or mid gear in it, it should hold just fine
High gear is where he might have problems
Having some good friends help is always a giant plus!
you gotta not be afraid of revs, let it eat! anything under 4500 rpm is basically useless unless you're cruising, especially if your'e starting on a hill. This thing is cool as hell, you're stuff has gotten so good
That’s what gearing is for.. looks like it did pretty good to me.. he built this in his shed.. it went through everything a 30k+ machine did..
I thought that as well but i think hes trying to take it easy on the chains.
@@Davespackey that razor isnt 30k dope
@@steveww07 the pro xps are actually more then 30k.. dunno what your talking about.
That things articulation is a sight to behold, beautiful 👍
Impressed with this thing. That drive system is crazy complicated and it handled those gnarly trails well.
If you can make your rally/raid buggy do all this without any major breakdowns, you can run it in Dakar. Better get ready to do endless miles of straight open desert, at top gear, with this kind of tough incline stuff appearing at spots all along the course . . Oh, and ya need a co-driver..a roof, windshield, (snap out?) side windows... 😁👍
Yep, looks like a mad max buggy! That's good! 👍🏻👍🏻
I am extremely impressed by this machine, it's just crawling along every single obstacle fairly easily.... For being a home built machine this thing is a beast. Still wish I had you as a neighbor.... And yes, still a few houses away. 😂😂❤
When you are running trails that technical bud, LEAVE YOUR LOCKERS AND HUBS LOCKED IN AT ALL TIMES... Also, air down and buy some boots man.😊
he said in another comment he had 8psi front and 10 psi rear
I concur on the boots, preferably muck boots
@@throwawaypt2throwawaypt2-xp8nxmuck boots are for duck hunters:/
Get fishing waders style and your butt will stay dry too lol
Awesome that you took that hand made one of a kind on such a torturous test. anyone with money can buy a machine for any purpose, but you built one by hand which probably 99% of people could not do. Please go easy on yourself; you make amazing one off machines; please take care of your creations because you have nothing to prove to anyone; take care of yourself.
Bro, you did a great job building this buggy,driving it and handling the trails! You should have a more send it/I’ll fix it attitude then caution…!
What an adventure! Thanks for taking us along.
Awesome ride. Having minor issues while out testing is completely normal. Huge success in my book.
I love watching you build and test your projects, for me this was a little bit long to watch just off roading but i think it was the screaming of the engine that made it feel longer.
Leave the lockers on at all times on trails. Helps getting over stuff. Also lower tire pressure would not hurt.
he said he was running 8psi and 10psi
@@throwawaypt2throwawaypt2-xp8nxstill needa be lower :((
@@jasonhudson5861 yea he said the tires still feel rock hard
@@throwawaypt2throwawaypt2-xp8nx no way
The most brutal road, the most crazy people, the most extreme, young man.
Чудове баггі. Але йому потрібен двигун з більшою кількістю крутного моменту на низьких обертах колінчастого валу. У випадку рушання після зупинки це дуже помітно.
І не став на це баггі варіатор як рекомендують інші коментатори. Варіатор зїсть крутний момент на низьких обертах та буде дуже нагріватись. Цю помилку зробили Subaru на своїх автомобілях Outback та Forester.
Вітання з України! 😊
Day 1 not so much but day 2 the mini rock bouncer would love that!
You got to hand it to your buddy , the man has miles on top of miles of patience
i thought so too
Might be a boomer thing to say, but man you should be proud of yourself for being able to make a machine like this by yourself. I'm very impressed!
Momentum is your friend when climbing! Especially with a light buggy and a high rev engine..... dont be scared of it or nervous! Thats a very capable buggy if driven right.
Don't be so hard on yourself you run a homemade machine keeping up to a mass produced machine with all the factory testing,
You are kicking ass
BOSS level build brother! Great video too. Be safe :)
Man tire upgrade for sure! It did great especially something you built from scratch! Love it!
Just a small driving tip from a Windrock regular, those ruts are all over the park. You've got all that suspension and you need to use it. Roll into those things with some momentum. Also buy a sheet of 3/8" UHMW and make you a skid plate, it'll help you out a ton.
That was some excellent footage, awesome build also-blew my mind it did so well with those wicked trails
I saw 50mins and thought this might be boring but i was wrong. Cool vid. Fun to watch your fab skills doing real work. Impressive!
Considering your inexperience off-roading and still “testing” your machine, I think you did very well.
The only advice- when driving off road, try and keep thumbs outside of the steering wheel- if it kicks hard at the wrong time it hurts like hell at best.
But that was neat driving in a truck YOU built 🤯🤘
Im ready to see your crawler build! Thats going to be a fun series! Thanks for the videos...
Food for thought, brother you might wanna look into a recluse clutch. I believe they sell them for the Hayabusa motor turned it into a semi automatic for crawling. It might be nice to be able to put it in gear and just not worry about the clutch.
I've been thinking about a skinny lightweight spider like ATV. Like 4 dirt bike wheels on long arms with long suspension travel and articulation. Kinda like the "Swingcar".
rather B welding good job today
Thats a beast. I love this project, it looks cool and is extremely capable. Bravo!
I've been watching your builds over the years. Your buggy did well on these trails. A question for you: Have you thought about building a buggy with a rear drive set up similar to your front drive set up? And then building a covered chain drive to keep the mud and rocks clear of them. That might reduce your chain stretch issues. If you keep your present rear suspension and drive set up, it lends itself very well to a variable height suspension. You don't have to worry about cv angles and it is a way to get more ground clearance, Very cool rig. Work out some bugs and she will be a super fun and well rounded rig;-) I love to see your stuff out there cuz I am starting the process of building a do it all off road buggy which will have a motorcyle engine and chain drive. Very different from yours, but not so different. I always think it is funner to build something than to buy something. Keep up the great content!!
It's amazing you built that, and it's really capable.
You should lower your tire pressure and leave a gap when following so you can keep your momentum through the tough sections.
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Definitely impressive ive watched ever one of your builds. Your mate is right about 35 tyres on your build plus it would look even more aggressive then it is now
Go away bots, we're watching greatness
The TT handled amazing considering you built that from scratch. Next project, solid axel front and rear, like a proper ultra 4 rig, try and base it off of Matt Karriker's old Ultra4 truck that he nick named Nightmare.
This is a supreme victory for man-in-shed creativity. 👍
Nice work mate 👍🏻 what a machine! Still amazed you’ve built it all in the little back shed.
I think trail 16 would be better suited with a CVT instead of a manual gearbox. Maybe get a hold of a mid 2000s Yamaha Phazer 500 4 stroke snowmobile engine. Get some side x side gear box for a CVT and the differentials. Least then less chances of stalling out since no manual clutch to worry about. Also the engine if I remember is fuel injected, so no dicking around with carburetor tuning.
he refuses to use off the shelf diffs though, makes no sense.
@@steveww07 he used like a fucking kia car diff or something in his mini dune buggy
@@roadsidegarage69 I remember, but then didn't he make some weird contraption to hold it?
@@steveww07 he made a custom housing for it to convert it to chain drive
Man, I think that thing did a phenomenal job. If you just had bigger tires on it I think it would’ve done better.
Best video yet. Some extreme trails and you didn't cuss as much as I would have.
You got a great vehicle dude
Seriously impressed how capable your rig is, I've got a feeling the next one you build is going to give that rzr a run for it's money.
really like your content and what you can do in your little shop. please start adding a rugged, metal, secure tools box to your rigs.
Vindication ! For all those giving lip about 'chain drive' and the discs protecting the sprockets...'nuff said. Chris, you have multiple shock mounting holes, perhaps try lifting the ride from them for the rocky trails next time.?. The buggy did Awesome.
Shes working good dude !!! Love that truck so much
handling that wire bare handed made me wince
That has to feel great building a vehicle that can traverse that terrain, and being able to drive it too -- Congrats!
Yes the recluse radius x clutch is what you need with a Honda xr600r engine with dual carbs.whatever you had that combination in would be unstoppable and easy to drive.
Just a suggestion... bigger (taller) tires that you can air down. That way you won't have clearance or grip issues as much. Cool vehicle.
he said in another comment he had 8 psi in the front tires and 10 psi in the rear tires
Another offroading tip, don't bother spooling your winch all the way in, it's a lot of time and wear on the winch if you're just going to pull it back out later in the trail. Instead once you get free, take the remaining cable and wrap it around the bumper or throw it through the windshield into the passenger seat. BTW Could not recommend swapping to synthetic rope on the winch enough. It's a lot less lethal when it snaps and it's much easier to pull and hook up.
This is incredibly impressive! I don't think there are any other custom diy builds on youtube that could've handled this trail as well as yours did (excluding rock bouncers, of course)
Taller tires would help with clearance and roll easier over everything but not wider. Love your buggy 🤠
man i love this kinda trails i grow up with this type offroad i love see more something like this and cant wait for the project
You're a lot braver than I am taking an high revving engine with all those electronics in there. I'd be finding the toughest torque producing diesel I could!
Amazing watching you drive this home built machine through this. Plenty for the armchair warriors to critique but it’s just amazing what you accomplished with this build 💪🏻
That thing did awesome for the gnarly trails y’all were riding 👌🏻🤘🏼 went from a 1 to 10 difficulty trails real quick 😆 good thing it didn’t break down! That would have been roughhhh , lil shorter wheel base , lil more ground clearance I think ya would have made it outa them few times ya got stuck! All n all awesome job 👌🏼 👏🏼 🤘🏼
Tyre pressures! But all in all you've done a fantastic job Chris.
Woooow its cool, no. Problem slowly but sure
If this is the kind of stuff you wanna use this rig for id suggest some 38" or 40" with some really aggressive tread and adjusting your gearing accordingly. And you might wanna beef up your driveline and suspension to fit
Your problem with stalling it is that those engines don't make any power down low. You need to keep it in a lower gear and keep the RPMs up.
You should never be in a gear on a major hill or any heavy load with your tach below like halfway on a sportbike motor. You should never need to touch the clutch while climbing if it's in the right gear.
@@jasonbirch1182your statements are very true but he has a secondary tranny to reduce the gears even more cause he wants it to be a crawler. If it was a bouncer I’d totally agree. I think he needs better clutch control because you are right that engine isn’t doin anything at lower rpm’s a second clutch on a handle or near the steering wheel would allow crawling an using the clutch way easier imo but if anything as people said even lower pressure then what he’s running would lower the tire size an gear it even lower/makin it grip even more
@@jasonhudson5861 you should never be using the clutch to crawl. How many reducers he has has no bearing on it when he's lugging the engine. Watch the tach. I can't see numbers but, he's running all the way on the left
side trying to crawl up crazy stuff to the point he needs to skip the clutch. He should be in a lower gear where the engine is making power and has no need for the clutch.
The whole time I kept thinking of Star Wars from the sound of that it made. Totally awesome!
You and Matt from bleeping jeep should get together and drive some of wind rock trails together he knows so much about wind rock trails
Dude u are amazing man. I love your channel.
Wow you wan in some hella' trails! Your machine has done well, and you should be proud!
Holy shit that it's insane but looks like you've build it right, WAY TA'GO
Hey! You should be keeping up with Steve Morris Engines. He just announced that he is working on a 3 cylinder rotax head and block for a Guy that builds those engines and they are getting 900 HP from a 1200cc 3 cylinder rotax engine. Just thought you might want to look at it.
Next project should be a crawler
Made for this trails something with big tires. Huge clearance and big power. And low low gear
Recluse clutch also will help you woth the manual
Chris maybe check into a recluse clutch. If I remember right that changes it to being able to shift just by letting off throttle
Only thing I would suggest is to get a bigger tire.maybe inch wider and 3inches taller it helps so.much when going through windrock it keeps your buggy off the mud walls when you are down in the deep ruts and taller will help with clearance
Done pretty dang good!!! Lower your tire pressure to about 18 lb. And get rid of that rear sway bar ….
Good job Bro! All the hard work and struggles were worth it!
I don't know how you figure that's fun. At least not my bag anyway. Have fun and enjoy it
You wanna be proud of yourself your truck is brilliant well done.. great video 😊😊
Love the videos and the projects, but please drop the psi, you're using like 5² inches of tread, the tires would grip so much better with less air,
and in the next project, try some beadlock like rims(or like an inner tube in the tires), for super low psi, because for great offroading you always want soft tires or light rigs, keep it up👍👍
That's an insane trail for your home built rig. I could see you building a 4x4 version with the aggressive angles of the CBR1000's 2wd front suspension doing well here. That clutch and ground clearance was the main issue. The roll bar mound snagging up probably didn't help. You could cut small notches in the chain guards for extra traction.
homie pulls up in the homemade machine and dominates
Consider using a secondary throttle, a hand throttle attached to the gear shifter.
i would love to see some fenders on that thing to make it look like a trophytruck instead of a buggy :D
That things badass bro love all the vids u put out.
Terrible Herbst Baja truggy theme paint job would be awesome
My friend. You need to give it ALOT MORE REVS. its a bike engine. If i pulled up my motorcycle on that hill ans revved it to 2k like you did it would also stall. Just rev it up to 4.5 k and let her go. If you need to rev it to 6k it wont hurt it they are high revving. Just learn how to drive the bad ass machine you made.
The guy you're following doesn't seem to understand that if you're leading, you're not just thinking about where YOU can go. You're supposed to be thinking about where CAN'T EVERYONE ELSE go.
Id recommend some side guards for those expensive king shocks
Very impressive!
Wow, that low of pressure and it still wouldnt climb, but, I would have to see your rig in person, to see how the tires were doing
A few more tweeks and more seat time. Awesome job on the rig!
It's a good practice to keep your thumbs outside the steering wheel they can get broke very easy
