Awesome buggy! But you upshift too much and then lug engine at pow rpm too much.. It’s a motorcycle engine. It’s ok to run it over 3000 rpm, in fact lugging it around is actually worse for it. Rev it out man!
It needs shaft drive, reverse, and lower gearing. (Hence the higher RPMS, which I agree are the friend of this engine). I love these V4s. Bitch to work on but smooth and powerful. Dual range trans would probably be a bit much, and probably not needed. I guess it depends on what he really wants to use it for. Where he is driving it now, I would opt for "Mountain Goat" ratio. Like the KTM 175 I rode in days of yore. First gear would make grandma yell, "Can't this go any faster? I can walk faster than this!" She had a "walker". With tennis balls for feet.
Dang man...that thing was made for those trails! It’s definitely a big buggy but it looks way smaller when it’s out there. I think people thought it may have been too big just because of how it looked in the garage. Pretty sweet though, definitely would outperform some of the side by sides that cost 10k more than it 😂
BBR!! Hey guys! Isn't he good? You guys are just as great. Love the Wankel! Epic. This Buggy is, I think, his best build yet. I see the weak point in chain final drive. I realize a shaft setup would be very involved. But, has that stopped either of you masters (Build Break Repeat and rather B welding) before?! :-) (Wishful thinking; I don't have to do the work). It would be a challenge. It would also provide the room for gear reduction. Hint, Hint. ;-) ;-) And reverse.
Need to find a mr2 or Prius power steering pump. They go inline from the wheel to the rack and pinion and are fully electric. That would help keep the wheel under control in the rocks
James Hughes just gotta turn when the car lets you. My older cars without power steering were a breeze to push hard once I drove it for a day. Why? Because you feel the road in your hands. You feel it trying to lose traction not just flat out losing it then shitting the bed. In this case it might be the right application. But the classic steering damper set up would do it surely
it aint runnin ryt. did you see him push it to the floor in neutral ? it only wound to 8 and was slow gettin there. i have this bike and its a freakin beast!!!
I just have to say hallelujah praise GOD I’m saved and going home!!!! If you are not turn to the LORD and have all!!! GOD bless!!!! Keep doing for the LORD your work doesn’t go unnoticed amen hallelujah praise GOD
Indeed, unless he is using very little throttle, in which case it would be hypermiling (ie economizing gas). Don't lug your engine people, it is not good for them.
@@chaseware3181 lyric country go anoy someone else. Yeah he doesnt give it a ton of throttle but hes just trying to be safe since its litterally impossible to get spare parts for it.

THIS IS WHAT WE ALL BEEN WAITING ON, CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU, THIS IS ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL PROJECT FROM RATHER BE WELDING, THANKS FOR THE AWESOME CONTENT, JOEY FROM STATESVILLE NC
Man what a complaing on how you drive down here. I see a big smile on your face, you are having a blast! That's what counts. And it's your buggy, your design and you decide how you like to ride it. Go and have fun! Great build!
Very cool, Chris! There’s no better feeling for a builder than when he can see his creation working as he drives it... The articulating suspension, the shifting mechanism, the steering components, etc.... such a cool feeling of achievement, especially when it doesn’t break! I always remember my first rides each time I complete a build.
Shock absorber for the steering. Like a damper that street bikes have. Should help keep the wheel from yanking out of your hand. And keep your thumbs out of the wheel in those scenarios. Hurts real good when it spins around and bend them backwards.
The KPI is completely off and he knows that already, people pointed that out in one of the build videos. That's why the steering is punishing him like that.
I've been watching your creations since you built your own lathe. I may have enjoyed that first ride almost as much as you. Through all the trials and tribulations you just kept moving forward scrapping things that did'nt come out as expected and improvising and inventing new ones that do. Excellent work man You earned every smile all the way up and down that mountain. Well Done!
Great build!!! Watch your thumbs, keep them out of the inside of the wheel. Make sure the cooling fan is running. Take it to Busco beach and let it run wide open!!!
Just some things i noticed.. Electric steering servo pump (prius,mr2,volvo v50..etc). Saw someone else comment the same thing. FANS! You need fans for your radiator, and a electric cooling pump. The added load from the weight will require better cooling! The rest of the build was awesome. Great job! Edit: saw the radiatorfan
Just a suggestion for the rear suspension and limiting straps. I noticed that you are hitting the limiting straps over mild soft bumps causing your suspension to stop way too soon, this at high speed bumps can cause your rear to bounce around and causes poor if not dangerous handling. Try mounting the top of the rear coilovers lower and loosen the top collar to get the same ride height but more down travel. You have huge coils and should be able to keep those rear wheels on the ground unless you are hitting jumps. Other than that and the "break your wrist" steering this build turned out great. Keep it up.
He really needs to lose the upper coils and go with a pillow soft tender spring. And raise the overall height a few inches as well. The front seems to work great though. The geometry is far more reasonable.
Agree. But first I'll say that's a huge smile on your face sir. Good win, good proper shake down run. Congrats on that. The smaller kinks will get worked out, no stressing on those, and no stressing on YT comments. The steering rack might need more ratio so you can control the wheel more. It might also need a steering stabilizer like ATVs use. I have a Denton stick style, that might be easiest to mount for your application. I'm not going to fake knowing more about steering stuff, just spitting those two ideas out there. As for the suspension, I agree with these guys and attach myself to their remarks in hopes you see them. Your ride height shouldn't be where the shock is now. It really should be centered in the shock stroke, or less. Yes, this would mean working on mounting and yes that would suck, but this rig is worth it. Properly weighted coils and centered shocks would help even more with your overall ride feel. You think it rides good now, spend the extra video centering the shocks. Everyone can wait, you are in it for the long haul. Can you cut the drive chain shorter? Stripped it down after the upper shock relocation and more shake down runs, paint or powdercoat the frame clear. Sucker looks great as is. Thumbs up. Freaking good on you dude.
Wow, just wow! The smile on your face says it all. Those straps are limiting suspension travel when you go around corners - that is a fantastic side effect - keeps it flat around corners.
Some bigger back tires would do this thing justice but over all i would call that a success. Awesome job it turned out great, brw the enjoyment in your facial expression says it all....great vid
You should add a secondary transmission with a High, Low, and reverse. That would give you more flexibility and torque on the trails and more speed on the road. Plus you could add a reverse gear while you're at it.
Your building skills are truly inspiring. It must feel awesome having something so much cooler than the proliferation of RZR's you see on the trails. That is the coolest buggy I've ever seen, you should be very proud of your work!
Cool day !!! rad fan 6 pack of chain master links lower the rear top shock mounts 6 inchs move the gas line away from engine Front brakes added snowmobile reverse gear box Overall you have a great unit ,, :) cheers !
I'd be tempted to put a full skid plate underneath myself and looks like it could do with a bigger radiator but the smile says it all you built a beastly machine looks like a lot of fun
Looks like a blast! You should find a way to get the fuel lines off off to the side so they are not even above the engine heat, or insulate. Gravity fuel systems are not immune to vapor lock
OK. Calm down guys. I have had this argument before. Never reached a conclusion. Personal preference. I prefer not to call an internal combustion engine a motor. But technically, Lucas is right. (No, we are not related. Lucas is his first name). The fact of the matter is, he needs an "endless" chain. (Would need mods to install. I vote for a drive shaft). See what you started, Josh? ;-)
Tundras are awesome. The 5.7 has great power and reliability, not to mention great off-road. I have 350,000 miles on mine and the only thing i have replaced is a fuel pump 3 years ago.
Really admire what you do without any help mate...you just get on with it..over and over and over. Kudos! ..that must have been a blast getting it out on a track, and outa 1st gear!...great build for something that you're making up as you go along. Lot's of good comments on here from other crew who noticed the carbs out of balance, the fuel tank as a heat sink, loom protection, chain being wrapped too tight around a 10 tooth sprocket then doubled back on the idler like that.. your framing looks great...next buggies are going to be supajuice!
The proportions on this rig are hilarious...6” of wheel travel and a 36” long shock. Leg length would fit any normal 12 year old but your torso could be that is Shaq.
Been sittin' out here in the bleachers, munchin' my popcorn- enjoyed the build, turns and all! Your winch idea was the bomb; a couple of operating tactics that could help would first, run your cable through the rollers that came with it- it will help laying the cable back on the reel evenly. Unevenly begs a cable foul- you can't reel out or in because it may wreck the cable, and two when you do the under the car and on- continue to run the cable through the rollers- that is the way the winch frame is best adapted to hold the strain. Third, if you aren't having fun why work so hard at it! A few bits and bobs and you've done it! BTW, the folks saying gear it to get a higher base rpm are spot on- that one isn't a 10k screamer, but it will cruise all day at 6k- and find a way to reroute the chain with less total free slack and gentler angles on and of the chain wheels! I still have more popcorn so I'll shut up ! Dynamite rig- just awesome- and it didn't spend it's first day in the park mostly broken- dynamite!
chain breakage...you have too much chain wrapped around the driven sprocket...any room to drop your idler gear down and make a straighter angle? Lots of binding going on there
@@SHSPVR I would suggest that you learn a little more about force transfer before just flatly disagreeing. Maybe work on your grammar as well...just sayin
@@albundyrocks2115 I suggest you learn to watch the video he clearly said the master link come off as I been riding an repair motorcycle, cars, truck for all most 40 year
@@SHSPVR you're right...that's what he said and that's what happened. I'm looking at the possible cause. I guess you know more though...I only have an engineering degree and 20 years experience at GM as a Senior Engineering Supervisor in charge of Global Assembly Plant tooling and design Standards. No need to reply
The radiator I'm using on mine is a Honda CIvic radiator...... They are cheap and they cover more space- it works well you might try one like that. It looks very simple and does not look out of place at all....... search Ebay for "honda civic radiator" .. and look for the aluminum rad... it works great.
@@takerkanefan108 oh cool... Look up the one I was talking about... "honda civic radiator" .. on ebay....... it has an aluminum outside frame... it works great.
magnificent i am impressed you have made you're way right to the top of the pack and earned every step they can say what the want you are the champ you're buggy is the best that is a work of art congrats rather be welding you truly deserve your success
i never use clip links haha. rivet links always hahaha. may need to adjust the idle screw being a carby. may be getting knocked around readjusting itself great work!
You need to take that thing to the sand dunes... thats where it will really THRIVE... Just gear it up for higher speed.. get a nice set up paddles. and You got yourself a pretty sick dune buggy. .. Nice job..... I mean, you still havent even been able to open her up yet.... we're barely moving on these rough trails.............. You need your first dune experience-- I can't recommend it enough... Take a trip, I promise that it will be worth the long drive.
Man, it did everything you wanted it to do. Fantastic build. You are very energetic and creative. I love watching your builds, and its even better when they are as successful as this one turned out. Could use an aluminum skid plate, a fan on the radiator, and permant link on the chain and it'll be bulletproof.
FINALLY get to see it tested. Not many people can say they built something from scratch with some tires, shocks, and a motorcycle engine to trail ride in. The chain issue needs to get addressed, and I say get a bigger radiator for the heat issue, maybe. But if you go bigger you may need to figure someway of cooling the engine off quicker, no room for a waterpump I guess.
Nice build man..some small advice , on the master link , make sure the open end of the clip it facing to rear of direction it moving, or get a chain that has a braded link & forget the clip type ..good chain installed correct will do fine. Electric steering is way to go. And a front wheel drive trans axle can be a cheep reverse. Great job otherwise, It wont hurt to rev it a lil. Happy trails ..
I can't handle how slow he drives it, felt like it was idling through the course. Step on the damn gas, the engine likes to rev it out.. It's a crosskart, not a touring kart.
@@savannahbyrd5780 Then I wonder, how do you think dirtbikes handles? The chain is supposed to be able to take a beating, and it's a finesse with not having it too tight or too loose.
@@Andrew-hp1yj Sure, bigger tires for better traction for his comfy zone, however short wheels makes it low gravity center, which is perfect for not to worry about rolling easily. I'd say, still rip it.
What an Awesome Rig RBW ! Cant wait to see you paint it . An idea went through my mind when you get bored you should add led light strips in the interior so when you break down or want to eat in your rig pitch black you can see and around the engine bay so you can work on your buggy when you break down . The people in the Razor had that look like "where do you buy that at ?" Hands down wayy cooler than the razor in my opinion .
Man that thing is just so awesome great job. Cant wait to see it powder coated man get yourself an old oven and do parts yourself this thing deserves it and send the frame off. That honda is such a great sounding engine awesome project cooler than some of the side by sides even
Yes that's what I was thinking earlier Videos back, spring loaded would help out 100%, at least I not the only one that was thinking that, he said he would consider it if he didn't work
Thats a fine ass buggy! You really have talent at building buggies! I am building one myself, and i am almost ready to test drive it, so i know the amound of work and efford you have to put in such a build! I love your channel, and im always looking foreward to the next video!
It's good to see you graduate away from those junky lawnmower motors... I hope you never go back. Japanese motorcycle engines are the way to go my friend. whether it's a 450 quad or a 1000cc R1 engine... or even a 250 2 stroke... again, I hope you never go back to those lawn mowers. lol.......... also, SnowMobile engines are next level... I'm running a buggy about like yours (2 seater) with a 500cc Rotax engine.. and it's great.... So get yourself a 500cc or bigger and you're golden.
Keyboard Mechanics: It is far too heavy.....You'll burn your clutch.....You'll strain your transmission....Your wheels are too small....My 6 months old child could drive better....Your hair will fall out Chris: Hold my stinger. Oh yeah, RIP to that guy who broke his neck @ 8:37
Great work, very nice. A radiator from a small car will help. The v4 1000 Honda is carrying alot more weight, and is pulling lower gearing. You have plenty of room on the frame behind your head. Probably enough for two fans and a small 4 core radiator will settle the over heating issue. Cool buggy!
Incredible...I N C R E D I B L E build! Take into consideration also the fact that you don't have as much tools as some others that do all out fabrications of buggies and it's almost unbelievable what you do. All by yourself. You're my hero
That's a great ride there hymen. You did a good job on it. It started smoking a bit. Taller tires on back. It wouldn t fit on tarilor with taller tires. Great job I like it.
I've been watching you since you started,and every machine that you build get better and better. And this latest machine is just awesome, you handled this trail with ease. And the only break down was the link on the chain broke.come on that just dont happen!your a great builder/fabricator/welder!
Awesome buggy! But you upshift too much and then lug engine at pow rpm too much..
It’s a motorcycle engine. It’s ok to run it over 3000 rpm, in fact lugging it around is actually worse for it. Rev it out man!
It needs shaft drive, reverse, and lower gearing. (Hence the higher RPMS, which I agree are the friend of this engine).
I love these V4s. Bitch to work on but smooth and powerful. Dual range trans would probably be a bit much, and probably not needed. I guess it depends on what he really wants to use it for. Where he is driving it now, I would opt for "Mountain Goat" ratio. Like the KTM 175 I rode in days of yore. First gear would make grandma yell, "Can't this go any faster? I can walk faster than this!" She had a "walker". With tennis balls for feet.
He is afraid to rev it for some reason
discontinued engine, no more part for it. This is why he got it for under 500$. this kind of engine brand new cost maybe 4000$ or more.
Sooooo true man!
jlucasound dual range trans, in this case would be interchangeable with a reverse gear.
love how the wheel spin matches the frame-rate making it look like they are not rotating. amazing machine!
I noticed that too. Awesome.
saw it too!!
Why don't you have a check mark next to your name?
I was saying the same thing lol so kool
I noticed also. Def. cool

Great machine dude! The smile on your face tells the whole story, it says you are surprised at how well your design and work are working
1st thing you learn when off-roading is to keep your thumbs out of the steering wheel; saves broken thumbs later.
What, why?
If a wheel slams into an object and rotates the steering wheel quickly, yo thumb will be in the way of all that projection
Great build!!! Watch your thumbs, keep them out of the inside of the wheel. Make sure the cooling fan is running. Take it to Busco beach and let it run wide open!!!
Be carefull with your thumbs bro, keep them out the wheel, you could break them if not! awesome machine, perfect for those trails!!!

That motor shouldn't have a main link type where it clips. It needs a pressed on link so that it doesn't pop off like it did. Fyi
It's not a "MOTOR" smart guy. It's an engine a motor is electric while an engine is gas powered.

Kudos! ..that must have been a blast getting it out on a track, and outa 1st gear!...great build for something that you're making up as you go along. Lot's of good comments on here from other crew who noticed the carbs out of balance, the fuel tank as a heat sink, loom protection, chain being wrapped too tight around a 10 tooth sprocket then doubled back on the idler like that.. your framing looks great...next buggies are going to be supajuice!
The proportions on this rig are hilarious...6” of wheel travel and a 36” long shock. Leg length would fit any normal 12 year old but your torso could be that is Shaq.
Been sittin' out here in the bleachers, munchin' my popcorn- enjoyed the build, turns and all! Your winch idea was the bomb; a couple of operating tactics that could help would first, run your cable through the rollers that came with it- it will help laying the cable back on the reel evenly. Unevenly begs a cable foul- you can't reel out or in because it may wreck the cable, and two when you do the under the car and on- continue to run the cable through the rollers- that is the way the winch frame is best adapted to hold the strain. Third, if you aren't having fun why work so hard at it! A few bits and bobs and you've done it! BTW, the folks saying gear it to get a higher base rpm are spot on- that one isn't a 10k screamer, but it will cruise all day at 6k- and find a way to reroute the chain with less total free slack and gentler angles on and of the chain wheels! I still have more popcorn so I'll shut up ! Dynamite rig- just awesome- and it didn't spend it's first day in the park mostly broken- dynamite!
chain breakage...you have too much chain wrapped around the driven sprocket...any room to drop your idler gear down and make a straighter angle? Lots of binding going on there
No the master link fall off My guest had on backwards or wasn't clip on right
@@SHSPVR I would suggest that you learn a little more about force transfer before just flatly disagreeing. Maybe work on your grammar as well...just sayin
@@albundyrocks2115 I suggest you learn to watch the video he clearly said the master link come off as I been riding an repair motorcycle, cars, truck for all most 40 year
@@SHSPVR you're right...that's what he said and that's what happened. I'm looking at the possible cause. I guess you know more though...I only have an engineering degree and 20 years experience at GM as a Senior Engineering Supervisor in charge of Global Assembly Plant tooling and design Standards. No need to reply
His chain setup is pretty bad, but it has nothing to do with the master link falling off. But i guess you're too smart to admit beeing wrong.
Awesome as always sir. I just finished an amazing project that hits the water running and want you to have the honor of seeing it first.
The radiator I'm using on mine is a Honda CIvic radiator...... They are cheap and they cover more space- it works well you might try one like that. It looks very simple and does not look out of place at all....... search Ebay for "honda civic radiator" .. and look for the aluminum rad... it works great.
He already got a new radiator for it, check it out on his instagram
@@takerkanefan108 oh cool... Look up the one I was talking about... "honda civic radiator" .. on ebay....... it has an aluminum outside frame... it works great.
Chris working working working great respect for you
Damn, I'm so jelaous of that buggy
magnificent i am impressed you have made you're way right to the top of the pack and earned every step they can say what the want you are the champ you're buggy is the best that is a work of art congrats rather be welding you truly deserve your success
i never use clip links haha. rivet links always hahaha.
may need to adjust the idle screw being a carby. may be getting knocked around readjusting itself
great work!
mayby a bit , but the cooler gasoline enters the carb the better it will run ,, his fuel was boiling in the fuel line not gonna help it run .
Your mechanical skill is amazing. Amazing!
You need to take that thing to the sand dunes... thats where it will really THRIVE... Just gear it up for higher speed.. get a nice set up paddles. and You got yourself a pretty sick dune buggy. .. Nice job..... I mean, you still havent even been able to open her up yet.... we're barely moving on these rough trails.............. You need your first dune experience-- I can't recommend it enough... Take a trip, I promise that it will be worth the long drive.
Dude, your rig is killer! I bet it feels great knowing you created this whole project! Be proud of yourself!
Good work boy!!!. From Argentina!!
WOW, That suspension worked great!
Are you running ethanol free gas? If not that's why fuel is boiling.
Man, it did everything you wanted it to do. Fantastic build. You are very energetic and creative. I love watching your builds, and its even better when they are as successful as this one turned out. Could use an aluminum skid plate, a fan on the radiator, and permant link on the chain and it'll be bulletproof.
If you pardon the pun looks like the weakest link was the first chain
i love seeing it grow from scratch like just straight tube metals to the monster it is now...out of 10 i give it a 9.5....great job man..
RUclips channel is called rather b welding,
Should be called rather b shifting ! Boy loves shifting into the next gear too early
FINALLY get to see it tested. Not many people can say they built something from scratch with some tires, shocks, and a motorcycle engine to trail ride in. The chain issue needs to get addressed, and I say get a bigger radiator for the heat issue, maybe. But if you go bigger you may need to figure someway of cooling the engine off quicker, no room for a waterpump I guess.
you need to put the seat bell on the right way you have them on backwards
You should be proud of your buggy looks like it handled that well enough. Seems it soaked up the bumps ok.I say that man deserves a beer..nice work.
Need to do some work on that rear suspension, it shouldn't be hitting the limiting straps on every bump.
Should of kept it where he first had it
This is life.. Having the knowledge to build your own dunebuggy! Wish I know how to build one
Keep your thumbs out of the wheel!!! And it needs more droop in the rear🤓
Wow that suspension works great. Awesome job!
redline it while she's still cold and bog it the rest of the day...
Congrats on such a great build!
Can’t wait to see that buggy somewhere you can open it up.
I love this buggy..now please make a home made lift kit..portals or just a huge suspension lift..i know you can do it
If it's homemade, it's not a kit
This thing looks AWESOME!
It needs taller tires for ground clearance. But otherwise a pretty awesome machine!
Did great! I did notice the rear shocks rebound pretty slow. At least slower then the front. Pretty.easy fix. Busco beach!! You can open her up there
wow you sure do drive um... "carefully" yeah lets go with careful. I mean slow btw
Relax its a shakedown run. He's still getting comfortable with it.
@@draggonhedd A "shakedown" run should be driving fast enough to find all the litle issues that need improvements. This wasnt a real shakedown run lol
It was a first test. He was simply taking it slow to examine the system much better.
Angel Bunny tbh i would be flyin down that trial
Nice build man..some small advice , on the master link , make sure the open end of the clip it facing to rear of direction it moving, or get a chain that has a braded link & forget the clip type ..good chain installed correct will do fine. Electric steering is way to go. And a front wheel drive trans axle can be a cheep reverse. Great job otherwise, It wont hurt to rev it a lil. Happy trails ..
I can't handle how slow he drives it, felt like it was idling through the course. Step on the damn gas, the engine likes to rev it out.. It's a crosskart, not a touring kart.
neolite1 maybe because his chain will come off if he rips it
He needs bigger tires.
@@savannahbyrd5780 Then I wonder, how do you think dirtbikes handles? The chain is supposed to be able to take a beating, and it's a finesse with not having it too tight or too loose.
@@Andrew-hp1yj Sure, bigger tires for better traction for his comfy zone, however short wheels makes it low gravity center, which is perfect for not to worry about rolling easily. I'd say, still rip it.
What an Awesome Rig RBW !
Cant wait to see you paint it .
An idea went through my mind when you get bored you should add led light strips in the interior so when you break down or want to eat in your rig pitch black you can see and around the engine bay so you can work on your buggy when you break down . The people in the Razor had that look like "where do you buy that at ?" Hands down wayy cooler than the razor in my opinion .
Bring that thing to so. Utah. Ill show you some high speed stuff. Or rock crawling. Or really whatever. Offroad mecha
And meth heads and offroad junkies like myself. Quite diverse now lmao.
Man that thing is just so awesome great job. Cant wait to see it powder coated man get yourself an old oven and do parts yourself this thing deserves it and send the frame off. That honda is such a great sounding engine awesome project cooler than some of the side by sides even
I am not sure but a a chain tencener that uses an spring insded of a bolt could help 🔩🤔🤔
Yes that's what I was thinking earlier Videos back, spring loaded would help out 100%, at least I not the only one that was thinking that, he said he would consider it if he didn't work
Thats a fine ass buggy! You really have talent at building buggies! I am building one myself, and i am almost ready to test drive it, so i know the amound of work and efford you have to put in such a build!
I love your channel, and im always looking foreward to the next video!
It's good to see you graduate away from those junky lawnmower motors... I hope you never go back. Japanese motorcycle engines are the way to go my friend. whether it's a 450 quad or a 1000cc R1 engine... or even a 250 2 stroke... again, I hope you never go back to those lawn mowers. lol.......... also, SnowMobile engines are next level... I'm running a buggy about like yours (2 seater) with a 500cc Rotax engine.. and it's great.... So get yourself a 500cc or bigger and you're golden.
Ditch the master link and use a proper chain break! And I love the fact that you have a toolbox on your rig with spare parts as well!👍
Keyboard Mechanics: It is far too heavy.....You'll burn your clutch.....You'll strain your transmission....Your wheels are too small....My 6 months old child could drive better....Your hair will fall out
Chris: Hold my stinger.
Oh yeah, RIP to that guy who broke his neck @ 8:37
Great work, very nice.
A radiator from a small car will help.
The v4 1000 Honda is carrying alot more weight, and is pulling lower gearing.
You have plenty of room on the frame behind your head.
Probably enough for two fans and a small 4 core radiator will settle the over heating issue.
Cool buggy!
Incredible...I N C R E D I B L E build! Take into consideration also the fact that you don't have as much tools as some others that do all out fabrications of buggies and it's almost unbelievable what you do. All by yourself. You're my hero
That's a great ride there hymen. You did a good job on it. It started smoking a bit. Taller tires on back. It wouldn t fit on tarilor with taller tires. Great job I like it.
I've been watching you since you started,and every machine that you build get better and better. And this latest machine is just awesome, you handled this trail with ease. And the only break down was the link on the chain broke.come on that just dont happen!your a great builder/fabricator/welder!
Killer build, brother! You nailed it in my opinion. And it does kinda look like a mini rock bouncer.
Very hard work done....also great patience. 👍
Good design, nice workmanship. I see it's hard to drive, that's why power steering is a great invention
