Off Road Racing Shifter Kart Part 3
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 сен 2024
- In this video we are starting a new project, we are building an Off Road Racing Shifter Kart using a CR 125 dirt bike engine. I want this project to be small and fast with full suspension. I first start off with making the front hubs so we can have front brakes. then I start working on making the front A-arms and the beginnings of the frame.

side profile is giving me sick racing lawnmower vibes...itd be awesome to see a lawnmower hood on this thing!
He could totally wrap that front end with mower/tractor body. Make it happen Chris!
please do it! use an old cub cadet hood
i was going to comment the same thing. use one that has lights in it and make them functional. also use the rear deck/fender section around the seat even with the bar.
Totally agree
It reminds me of Mr.Krabs daughter Pearl the whale
Looks fine to me, but hey, its your project! :). The chain staying on the back axle will be a challenge, for sure.
Foi o que eu pensei, provavelmente ele vai colocar alguns guias para manter a corrente no lugar.
I had the same thought
The algorithm of this channel blows Orange County Choppers out of the water 💯!
This dude should have his own TV Show
What does that mean in English?
well thats kind of exakly what he has...
One of the few channels that doesn't get old . Looking good , coming together .
Its starting to look like one of those little racing lawn mowers. I think you should you should keep going with that theme and add a big box shaped front cowl. It would hide the big expansion pipe too
ALWAYS ride or drive w/elbows out! That’s the perfect “off-road” riding posture! I think ur good on rear shock mounts
Such a simple build but it's coming out really well, this things awesome.
Love this build. Try getting rid of top 90 on the front bars and go with a 30 or 45 maybe. You could angle it back to meet the top shock mount. Also make the vertical portion angle back a little. You will lose the expansion chamber if you ever roll it. It will be interesting to see how well a twisting chain from the jackshaft to the rear axel will work.
I really think you should add a roughly 15inch support on each side going from the top bar that goes over the engine to the bar the seat is attached to. Basically extending the top bar that's at a 30% angle until it touches the seat bars. My reasoning is this. If you get down level with the back suspensions forward pivot point and look across to the same point on the other side. You will notice that the entire back part of this buggy is supported by four bars that are on the same plane. The two additional supports wouldn't be much work or add much weight. You may have to put a bend in them but again not that hard. I think this would make the overall frame much stronger. Love your videos. Hope this helps
From the side the frame has a sort of hour glass thing going on. Where the front and back are three dimensionally wide but the middle is super slim from the side view. If this machine was getting a roll cage this wouldn't be the case but it doesn't look like that type of go fast toy.
The front end looks like Pearl from Spongebob lol
Thank you!!! I was racking my brain on where I have seen that shape! You’re exactly right!
Exactly the same as what I was thinking
hhahahahahahahaha
lol
Whale whale whale...I agree 😅😂
Nice build so far, but looks more like a mini tractor then a kart. As an idea for mounting the radiators. Some of those karts have them next to the seat/near the side pods
I kinda like the front end in how it looks, great work as always
Rotate the exhaust 90 degrees to the right and make clearance on the front frame hoop....only needs a bit.
Also... you need a sway bar/anti-roll bar to control that roll.
Without an anti-roll bar the outside, tires will dig in too much in turns and alter your camber too much.
As it is your setup will stop you drifting in power on slides and doughnuts.
I'm a design engineer in the motor industry.
Loving the content 👍
Such a cool build. Love how compact you've made. It. Looks like you might need a sway bar, but then again the skateboard action turning is kind of cool at the same time if it's not uncontrollable. Keep up the great work!
Things got a face only a mother could love, but it's sure gonna be fast 🚀
Honestly design has always been his weak spot. His fabrication skills are very good in all areas but the fact he designs as he goes often means his vehicles look a bit odd and quite often aren't really what he set out to build.
I'd love to see him actually design a vehicle totally before starting the build so he's not constantly making compromises between looks and function and not quite getting everything out of the components he uses.
I understand why he designs as he builds just think he would end up with something better both in terms of looks, function and it actually being the vehicle he wanted when he started.
Now get an antique lawn mower hood and put that bad boy on!! You're a full suspension shifter racing mower!! Lol. I love it!
Hack the flange off of that muffler and flip it 180 so the pipe faces down. As long as the volume inside hasn't changed and the distance from the jug hasn't either, it should be okay.
This is a good idea. Alternatively, could it go out the side?
Dude you are killing it!!! This thing is going to be a blast to ride! Keep up the good work! Don’t lose focus, it going to be epic!
you can cut and turn the sections of the expansion chamber to reroute it if you need to. as long as total length doesn't change too much it'll be mint!
Looks like the front end could use a lawn mower hood and then make up some mower style rear fenders and boom now it looks like a sick full suspension offroad mower.
You can get some older mountains bike downhill rear shocks for much more control, and the parts are cheap if you want to restore one shock or parts like springs. You can go as old as 2010 if you want cheap, quality performance. Getting the right spring is crucial, though, to start, not to overwork the shock.
Ive been building something similar in my head for awhile. I think it should have a full perimeter on the second level of frame and a full roll cage. The extra weight wins with the saftey and shreda bility factor without nearly as much death factor. My plan is the smallest possible caged full suspension vehicle. Like a tiny front engine crosskart. Or like a caged quad basically. 750 nighthawk power.
You need an actual steel table on casters bro !! When you climbed In to test the suspension I thought those saw horses were breaking lol
Get a fireball (or cheap equivalent) welding table. Strong and will help you with making welding jigs... Keep up the good work!
Can't wait for the mini jet boat
Mount the radiators on either side of the shocks and throw a mower hood on it.
Damn man you actually have this down to a science
Lawnmower hood for the win ...
I love the frame/cage so far! A few more bars, and you can put a roll cage on top. Lookin cool! Make sure to point your exhaust away from you.
From the side. It almost looks like a off road tractor!
I'd like to have a pipe that runs through the outside of the knee connecting the front and rear suspension mounting points.
This would improve the strength of the chassis and bring out the edges of the boat, giving the overall style a different look.
I personally quite like the way the front looks. Maybe if you add the two rads to the front and angle them back a little, it might look all right? Either way, excited to see how this one looks like once it's done!
Make your own pipe w a bunch of pie cuts to make it so the expansion pipe curls down under the engine n comes out one or the other side down below , could also make the gas can conform around the back of your seat down low 🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️👌🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Looks cool already
I think the chain will pop up with that much twist. Maybe center the sprocket on the axle to reduce overall movement? Think rear of a sport ATV with a swingarm.
I agree sprockets should stay properly aligned at all times, ATV/quads don't use IRS(independent rear suspension) due to the chain it would twist that's why anything with IRS has a transfer case with drive axles.
Best make that a swingarm like mentioned above, but at least your brakes aren't relying on the jackshaft chain like your some of your prior builds, best avoid the jank.
Make the front end look like a P-51 or a WWII fighter plane. Nice work.
Looks sick could almost fab up a tractor hood to go over the engine compartment
It kinda looks like something from star wars lol😂😂😂😂 definitely different from all those other go-carts, I like it a lot!
That's so great thanks
Couple of things - Brilliant work. I love seeing what your beautiful mind comes up with. It looks bad ass. You could make an Aluminium grill with a few louvres on the front to give it some extra character / features. Order a welding table or get a sponsor, they are amazing and will make your life so much easier, next level stuff. Thank you for all that you share it is inspiration to so many including me.
Keep it up. I’m not a bot. FYI. Love the show and builds. 😅
Need to ADD 2 more shocks in the rear for better stability, it rocks too much with just 2 or buy better ones all together, also weld a steel skid plate on the bottom for strength and safety protection.
Get Fox air shocks from a snowmobile. The spring rates can be changed with air pressure and volume spacers and a lot of them come with a low speed compression adjusters. Find some used and send them back to fox for rebuilding and re-valving if needed.
Once you put in the radiators I'll change the look and the headlights too.Put the gas tank behind the seat
Now this type o cart is something to be excited about. Light weight, small full travel suspension, manual. Itl be the ultimate drivers cart if the idea/build marriage is successful. 😊
15:29 The pixar desk lamp puncturing the ball
Put a tractor hood and fenders on it and wire wheel that pipe. That would be SICK
Link the front and rear top hoops together so it does not just hinge in the middle. A structural skid plate will help a little too.
I think the front end would look better with some lights, and maybe a small bull bar bumper
Agree, rear sprocket angle changes will throw it off pretty quickly
Definitely needs a vintage mower hood. Forget offroad shifter cart. Make it a offroad racing mower.
Pushrod suspension would have been insane for the rear, just to get the shocks out of the way if mounted parallel to the seat in a horizontal way 🥲
Also the kart frame forms a valley sort of design between the seat and engine mounts. Hope that it does not become a weak point in the frame.
It's time you went and visited the guys from Grind Hard Plumbing Co.
You should put the hood and fenders of a riding lawnmower on that beast
I'd love to see you build a large RC car with the fiberglass bug body. It would aloow you to use all your skills without having to worry how a human would fit or how safe it is. Go nuts with a dirtbike engine or something.
It's like a land shark. That's what side profile looks like to me. I like it.
*LAWNMOWER BODY ALL DAY. It will fit the build all day*
put the shocks under the motor then connect to rods like a traxxas revo r/c . going to need chain guides to keep chain on . mount radiator on front like a atv then waterless coolant to keep temps down .
If the shocks are about the same length, swap the front to the rear and vise versa. Maybe the yellow ones will give you the desired affect for the rear.
Mate awesome project. That rear independent suspension is going to challenge your chain However. Also there are some things you don't buy off Ebay,Amazon,Temu and that's shocks, but I think you have realized that. Enjoying your channel.
Can't wait to see this one on the scrap pile with all the others😂😂😂😂
Challenge your fab skills and build a tracked vehicle, kind of like the ripsaw. That would be a fun build!
it looks like a fun build. I'm worried that you will be sucking a lot of exhaust fumes in it's current configuration.
Keep the videos coming. I look forward to them every Sunday.
soo much skill
Really needs fox floats on all four corners. Lots of used snowmobile ones around on eBay.
Dude it looks cool and you are the creator look at early auto designs and find something like a drop fuel tank from a plane, cut it up to make the skin for the nose cone
I think the expansion chamber would look good tipped to one side or the other through the frame where that you made on the front end.
When I look at the kart from the side I can totally imagine it as a truck. I used to have a mini monster truck kart and I’m thinking one of those bodies would fit your frame perfectly. Just a thought
Like many are saying, making that a tractor would make it look MUCH better in my opinion.
I wish he had clocked the expansion chamber. But this thing is cool.
Put a lawnmower front end on it. It might make it look better up front. You might have to cut open the lawnmower hood for the exhaust but other than that it would be cool
Big trust in those wooden A frames 😮
I use the same sort of sawhorses, the metal bits are good, though I have to replace the timber every now and then due to the clamps crushing them.
I found the best way to make them last longer was to use ply on each end to keep them spread, then triangular braces, it stops them moving like yours do and is much better, though, in retrosp[ect, I would have been better off building my own from scratch.
You could do the gas tank under the front of your seat… may be a little sketchy but it’d be convenient as far as space is concerned
Very nice work as always Chris but in my opinion you MUST RELOCATE the exhaust
should have used a powerwheels body on it to help with the look or lawnmower
Ça fait pas terrible l’échappement comme ça🫣🫣🫣, en le faisant passer par en dessous et un silencieux au centre derrière le siège serait plus cool👍👍👍👍
transverse mount the shocks. That may solve many of your problems with regard on where to put them.
spin exhaust on its side widen frame so your feet and legs are inside shocks will be more up and down rather than sloping to center will give more square look and protect you legs inside the cage if hitting anything will be a wee rocket with that engine
Kinda what I was thinking,would not want that expansion pipe barking in my face. Lay it on its side and pipe it behind cockpit.otherwise looks like a blast.
I bet just adding some lights on the side of those bars that go up on the front could help it look a lot better
Finished work, made some food and see that you've uploaded a video, perfect.
That went from sifter cart to lawnmower real quick lol. I'd spin the pipe to the side so it's not so hi and risk it.
Love this! But I really think you need an axel to the rear end, I think the chain popping off may be a huge pain.
Weld two discs on the rear sprocket for a chain guide.
Or maybe use a belt instead of a chain
Now I want to make one
Does anyone else get the music from this show stuck in your head? I'll be out in the garage welding something, and I'll have this music playing in my head. Good show, man! Love the project! (Maybe call it the Warthog?)
I would love to see your take on a VF-1 CrossKart.
The reason the rear is leaning and then staying there is because there is no anti roll bar, as well as reducing roll when going round a corner this would also stop the body/frame from sitting and an angle when resting
I wish you did longer videos! I really get into the video then it's over....
In my boys defence , his videos are usually longer . Butt. This one happens to be shorter . For the price ill watch what video he posts & always love it .
Looks so well made. Killer work.
@FireballTool You gotta hook this man up with a table!!
Bro you build some of the coolest shit on RUclips
so sick legand
Hopefully the radiator will be right out the front this time, finally some good cooling!
FANS ...on each...We know you'll be idling and low speed driving most of the time. Aluminum channels to push the air to the outside is best.Keeping the heat off your legs.
Why wood saw horses? Make steel table legs with shelf to help steady. Maybe shorten exhaust from motor to expansion chamber and tilt to make go inside frame and out instead of up. Could lengthen same area to go around frame to outside. Either will get exhaust out from your face.
CUT Ur exhaust flange off at a very slight angle and turn the expansion chamber to 3 or 9 0’clock and weld it up!!
@15:03 HILARIOUS!!!!
I’ve been watching your channel for a while Chris and I’ve got to say you need to relax on the “maximum suspension travel” and start to figure out how to tune suspension. Almost all your rigs have so much travel and it’s so soft that the rigs almost roll on flat ground.
Just trying to say that you can get so much more out of a properly tuned suspension even if it’s only got half the travel
Nice Lawn Mower
You must find a hood for a John Deere garden tractor. It will fit.
The bottom adjuster on the front shocks should work
