    I am literally following this channel since barbie mustang gokart, and honestly, you were such a big inspiration for me to buy a tig welder and start doing my own stuff I can't even say how much.
    And each and every next build is just more and more abstract and sick! You all have gone up and over everything, so much experience and every next video just shows how much you learnt last time and use the knowledge in the next one it's just sooooo inspiring. I wanna build a buggy from a car myself to drive around the countryside, and honestly i WILL be looking back to these videos mostly to snatch on the control arms design and all the other suspension designs you did, because your channel is such a big encyclopedia of mechanical and design knowledge I couldnt have thought of myself.

      That's how I felt one time after 2 hours on a griz 400 manual through snow, creeks and lots of hills and trees to zig zag around, last guy in line with the slowest quad getting yoked around in their tracks. I left it behind the bar and caught a ride back fukk all that. They all had 750 Polaris automatics independent rear suspension. It was 2002 so that was high tech. Lol. Even the kid on the banshee was frigging leading the way most time

    great build man! not that it matters too much, but those hexagons you added on the new swing arm should have more rounded corners. as I'm sure you are aware a sharp edge like that could lead to stress risers and increase the risk of part failure.

    LMAO! Problems with snow bikes. I was out in deep snow with just my snow machine. Thought I would go off trail and leave a Piss. When I stepped off my machine. I went waist deep in the snow. Had a hell of a time getting my ass back up on the machine.
    A snow bike would be nearly impossible. Once you stop in deep snow and try to put your foot down. There will be nothing there. I guess one needs to carry a snow shovel. Dig down to ground for a starting point again. Lol! Looks like a hoot though!

    To be fair, busa has couple horses more than this thing, so swap the tracks and see busa bury it self in 0.2 seconds, or do something actually utility in the while and put that track on wheel borrow and put electric motor on it. Already built one with ATV tire for soft ground but that has nothing to tracked borrow on snow.

    Stud the track with a few to start and work your way up to where it has enough power to just barely break the traction of the track. This would help propel you forward in the corner's where if there is no stud's it just slip's in the corners and ya wipe out!
