      I am NOT discounting or talking down on anything Chris does.. but come on. He's essentially doing this full time, where C&C are a couple dudes with day jobs who like to have fun once in a while.
      More to the point, who really actually cares? If you don't like C&C, it's simple. Don't watch it. If you don't like RBG, cool. Don't watch it. What the community really doesn't need is this stupid fan fueled war on which channel is better. You know who my favorite channel is? *ALL OF THEM.*

    Love how you said that you will make small mods to the frame then proceed to completely redesign it. I also like how you edit these videos to make the builds look easy when many of us know that it is anything but. You will continue to grow and have become my favorite project build channel out of the many that I started watching first. Keep up the great work.

    @montanawildcat5198 6 лет назад

    Very good job in your design. The full suspension makes complete sense. It's so annoying when a vehicle has, like, 2 inches or so of suspension travel, and 8 or more inches of ground clearance. Your kart will be able to make full use of its suspension to land softly off of jumps, or smooth out even huge discrepancies in the road! Thanks for the vid.

    You should consider a couple 420 Predators or similar on here just for the added benefit of lighting. I'm still a couple years out from building my own buggy, can't do much in an apartment, but I do have the old lady's blessing to build one. I do like your rear trailing arm suspension. Next time you do a collab with Greg at Red Beard's Garage, take this with for sure, you'll have the ground clearance that you needed. On top of that I would consider more side skirts or fairings along the body and seal the wear the sheet metal and body meet, so it'll be more waterproofed. Also, add some fenders over at least the front tires, so you don't kick so much debris at yourself. Keep up the awesome work, been watching your builds for quite some time.

I knew you were on the right track with that suspension, now on the next one just need to get the weight of the motors off of the trailing arms to make for a better ride and better handling. And that thing looks sick real sick, can't wait to see it on some really bumpy dirt roads maybe even some small jumps to start with. Keep it going and keep the video's coming...

    I am liking the suspension design a lot. I like the long arms up front with dual shocks. I was skeptical about your dual rear swing arm design but I think you've built it very strong. The one thing I would consider adding is a rear sway bar. If you plan on doing a long of crawling where you want articulation you wouldn't want one, but without it you're going to have some serious body roll cornering at higher speeds.
