Now you're talking on the v-twin on the MG. I was really disappointed when Robot Cantina was going to put the v-twin in the first generation Honda Insight. I'll settle for the v-twin in the MG. I thought the Insight was a good platform since it's so slick through the air. Thanks for posting your mods. Lots of work, but lots of fun!
You never cease to amaze me. Keep up the great work I can't wait to see it. One of these days I'll get over to Alabama and see that monstrosity of a vehicle.
I'm loving the new rig she looks rowdy my grandpa had an 85 f150 with a 300 i6 I still daydream about it that was the the toughest truck we ever owned but anyway thanks for posting
hey brother . good to see ya . lol that flat bed is going to look sick with big ole tires . i would keep the flat bed . hey now you stay cool and god bless ya buddy .
I love these project so much. The only thing I could think to over complicate things... but make for some extra fun would be to create some rear steering.. just for poops and giggles. But then again. If it aint broke... dont fix it.. I REALLY want to drive this! How much to PLEASE let me drive this?!?! Im so impressed
It's funny I bought the first set at an auction dirt cheap and only bought them because they were cheap but the second matching set I really had to pay for. 🤑
I'm enjoying your channel, and can't wait to see the v-twin MG. You have inspired me to build a car, I have a 1911-ish Model T truck that I've put together using various parts, and I plan on doing a Predator v-twin mated up to a Suzuki Samari 5spd tranny that I just rebuilt. How do you determine how much gear ratio is needed to go x mph? I'd like the car to do 40 - 45 mph. Thanks again for the awesome RUclips content.
In the past it has been trial and error but I pretty much got it dialed in now, your application you'd probably want to start with 40 teeth on the input shaft and then if it had enough power drop down from there.
Possible to keep the clutch in the truck? Or would that diesel flywheel be to much mass? If you could then you could eliminate the gokart clutch. Wonder if some small Suzuki trans/case might make a better platform. I may have to hit up some junkyards now......
Many people have mentioned keeping the original clutch but there is a whole lot that goes with that you would need the back of the crankshaft the entire flywheel , All that extra weight is terribly unnecessary when these clutches work just fine. And you can always have a pressure clutch like how you engage the tines on a front tine tiller.
Strong unit to or maybe use it to power a small or big truck lol im getting a complete tundra and I’m taking the motor and transmission out and that’s all sounds like a plan
I am curious how it would work if you stacked three or four flywheels to make a super heavy flywheel. Some old machines could do amazing things with a small engine with a bunch of kinetic energy stored in them.
Beyond being cooler than a penguins sphincter what use could it have ? Like will it go up steep hill get stuck in mud carry more than just a driver etc.? I have a newish 449 that I can use for project but I’d need or would want a use for it if I built similar vehicle
So full disclosure it was built to promote the RUclips channel but I haven't had it stuck it'll go pretty much anywhere cuz normal hills and ditches are not much to it and it has plenty of power to climb a grade.
I'm not really a fan of the CVT , I have one on the golf cart and I have a lot more problems out of it than any clutch I have ( and I have a bunch) plus, they cost a lot more. They are great on a mini bike or go-kart but not really in this application. Thanks for watching.
Yes it is true You can get a lot more variable gear ratios with a torque converter clutch but the belt drive has a tendency to rob a lot of power They are not the best choice
Clutches work best in this application maybe not so much in a mini bike or a go-kart but anything with a transmission that runs long they work pretty good.
you might need a slip differential a lot of 4x4 would bind real bad on turns because of wheel speed a lot of the older 4x4 with lockers was off road only on pavement you would get tire chirp and binding
@@ChrisfromKeyfarm i think ford had a slip differential in their posi track trucks but it could work as is i have no idea if a small engine would power it but it might its defiantly worth trying nothing is impossible if you need a model i can ask some transmission people what models they had slip rear differentials
Every now and then I take a project to a car show or some sort of event The monster truck will definitely be at the priceville car show in September as long as I don't get arrested on the way there
You could probably groove a 1/3rd of those tread blocks out for better cleaning and save 20lbs per tire. Russians and Ukrainians make similar vehicles with HD truck tires grooved down to the cord. ruclips.net/video/aM29_bdz724/видео.html
It is huge in real life! Thanks for the ride, Savanna and I loved it!
😁👍
Still the coolest thing I've ever seen. Obsessed with how huge the tires are!
You should see it in person it's even more impressive.
I love ALL these projects!!!! I want to play too!!! That midget is gonna be fun!!
I sure hope it's fun

Wild n ready stuff fur sure very cool its is .. I would say keep the flat bed for the monster truck set a hot tube in it with a large cooler attached
That'd be awesome. I've thought about a bunch of people back there at a parade , but haven't thought about a hot tub 😁🤣
Awesome content
Love all the hard work
Keep it coming every project seems to be better and better
Thanks , I appreciate it.

👍
😄 Absolutely love it! Is that the chain making all that noise?
For the most part . Thanks for watching.

I have thought about rear steer but I would have to learn some more before I tried that.
Dang tires must have cost you a couple bucks! That thing is awesome:)

I think using this truck to make it four wheel drive is a great idea. It's the next logical step
Thanks 👍
That is so cool ! Four wheel drive with low range ,Hill climber ? with a winch for recovery ?
It's going to be awesome

Keep the oil changed and the air filter clean, that thing will run 4,000 RPM all day, every day.
Cool , thanks for watching
Outstanding. 'nuff said.
😁 thanks
Could always run two of the same transmission so you can split each gear 4 different ways and spin the earth with that little motor. 👌
I'm not smart enough to keep track of that many levers 🤪
@@ChrisfromKeyfarm I might try it one day lol
👍
Strong unit to or maybe use it to power a small or big truck lol im getting a complete tundra and I’m taking the motor and transmission out and that’s all sounds like a plan
Cool
I need a clutch for my 350 ,
No ! A centrifugal clutch 😂
LOL, thanks for watching
I’d like to see you boost one of those motors
That would be cool.
I am curious how it would work if you stacked three or four flywheels to make a super heavy flywheel. Some old machines could do amazing things with a small engine with a bunch of kinetic energy stored in them.
That is exactly how old square balers work they had about a 300 lb flywheel that was used .
If u were to keep it 2wd, u could install a 2 speed rear axle for a little more versatility.
That would help , but the transfer case will handle that.😁
You should try putting on a manual clutch on it I would like to see how it performs
That may very well happen at some point

Are you using a clutcher?Is it just syncro into the gears
No clutch just timing. This video explains it all.

Do a cvt clutch on it and you will notice a bigger difference. Plus be a good comparison video!

I would use a torque converter style clutch on it. You'll get more variable speed and torque from the small engine.
Yes it is true You can get a lot more variable gear ratios with a torque converter clutch but the belt drive has a tendency to rob a lot of power They are not the best choice
Clutches work best in this application maybe not so much in a mini bike or a go-kart but anything with a transmission that runs long they work pretty good.
that 80 tooth sprocket looks tack welded on there, PLEASE do run a weld around the whole thing lol
Hahaha , 16 HP through a centrifugal clutch ain't gonna break it loose. , thanks for watching.
Take my money, I want it!
LOL , 🤣 thanks for watching
Curious, would putting a bigger clutch/sprocket on the engine help with longer gears and higher speeds?
Never mind lol kept watching and you explained it pretty clear
@jessegore6168 alright, cool. Thanks for watching
👍
Please keep the flatbed on it and paint it at least some of it Key Farm green.
👍 thanks , that's what I'm thinking.
You should try a 670cc predator engine
I've got one and I compared it to the Duromax 440 and there isn't a lot of difference. Check out the videos of it.
go find an old Rockwell 40Hp motor. They put them in 6-wheel Argo's and things like that. they will get that thing moving with tons of torque
Cool, I'll keep a lookout , thanks for watching.
I would look into a Wisconsin te,tf,th etc. 2 cylinder old powerhouse
That would be cool
I have a older tiller with a transmission that has reverse and 2 forward gears I was thinking about building a large go kart with that transmission
I've always wondered how long those transmissions would hold up at high speeds
@@ChrisfromKeyfarm The older ones are stronger for sure it has roller bearings not bushings lol
@topshopbuildandfabricate24 👍
I'm still waiting to see if those 5-ft wheels will float your vehicle
It's definitely going to happen I'm just not sure when
👍
Thanks
It’s like a 14 to 1 and 17 to one ratio
👍
Can't wait!
👍😁👍😁
when are you gonna float it?
Hopefully before Christmas. Thanks for watching
Hey brother. It's been awhile... how have you been
Have you thought about a second transmission
@@HomesteadingNorthernMichigan Oh great idea! Twin stick!
We've been dealing with a cancer diagnosis ( my wife, breast cancer ) she had surgery and a few complications, but overall she's doing great.
you might need a slip differential a lot of 4x4 would bind real bad on turns because of wheel speed a lot of the older 4x4 with lockers was off road only on pavement you would get tire chirp and binding
I suppose on hard ground you could always just put it in two-wheel drive right?
@@ChrisfromKeyfarm i think ford had a slip differential in their posi track trucks but it could work as is i have no idea if a small engine would power it but it might its defiantly worth trying nothing is impossible
if you need a model i can ask some transmission people what models they had slip rear differentials
@@ChrisfromKeyfarm im very interested to see if it can haul logs i have seen these used as to tow vehicles
Oh it'll definitely haul logs It could haul logs right now in two-wheel drive
👍
Who built the roll-cage ?
Lol, nobody yet, do you want to? I'm gonna need one.
@@ChrisfromKeyfarm build no, test hold my beer
Hahaha
And low range !
👍👍👍
What part of Alabama I'm from cullman
I live just off Hwy 157 18 miles from Cullman.

Definitely 😁
