@@GrenadeMotorsports I've always wanted to do something like this, but the only thing limiting me is this little thing called money. I can imagine this isn't a cheap project
@@possibleproblem479 I Actually read and studied two books to learn about chassis principles and safety: The Race Car Chassis by Forbes Aird HP books 1540 as well as Chassis Engineering by Herb Adams HP books 1055.

I'm glad to see someone else had the same idea I got I'm welding up my tube frame for my r6 motor what wheels and tires did you end up going with looks like they fit perfectly with your frame you made I'm not going to ask for your specs because I already know she's one of a kind
I’m working on my on single seater and am having trouble with the rear axle. Is it possible for you to tell me what you used for the rear axle, or maybe you guys can build on for us and we’ll pay shipping and all before you start fabrication
This was purely a track toy, no race class. F1000 has super strict homologation requirements and this car would not be eligible. It was also filmed over 10yrs ago, car whereabouts are unknown. But we have been considering building another. Thanks for watching!
Cool car buddy, love it! I'm building a bike powered formula car now myself. I'd be interest to know more about your big rims, what are they off or did you make them? Cheers
Plans were mostly drawn on the floor in chalk or sketch pads. Start reading about race car construction in books that are readily available. Protect that driver. That's more important than light weight. Keep your driver safe and just add more power if it gets too heavy lol Thanks for watching!
There are a million pics and ideas on a forum site called mini buggy .net and those guys are brilliant. I took inspiration from there and from chassis engineering books. Just build it safe- even if it means adding 100 lbs to the car, it's our job as builders to keep that driver alive. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for watching! This was a long time ago, I used race car engineering books and hand drawn sketches, built it from wood first then to steel. Pushrod type F1 pivots with CBR600rr shocks. Worked amazingly well.

YO GUYS here in 2020 with a question , so for a bit heavier setups theres alot of discussion on how well the gearbox will handle everything and reliability of the engine , for something similar to this what is the best engine with idk I guess 'towing capacity ' to allow it to handle the torque on extra contact patch on the tyres
Great question! After many years of building bike powered cars- here's what I've learned about it- Stock clutches fail QUICK. Go with heavy duty friction discs and heavier springs. Also keeping oil flowing under hard long sweeping turns can be an issue unless you add a dry sump system. If I were going to build one today I would use the biggest engine I could find- 1000cc and UP. Thanks for watching!
@@GrenadeMotorsports thanks heaps for the advice , you should focus on youtube , your content would rack in views, just get a young tech savvy guy to edit and film . Another quick question , in regards to the issue I mentioned and your response , would a 1000cc cruiser engine setup be even better (considering I'm not looking for extreme speed ) just fun but most importantly reliability and longevity??
@@ZAMMY7 Keep the torque numbers up and your engine choice won't matter much. Go check out the latest video- I have been "focusing" on youtube for five years. THX for watching :)

Douglas 13". This video is over 10yrs old, no further details remaining. Thanks for watching!
Wow did u builed that?
Yes I designed and built this in my garage ten years ago. Might be 12yrs ago. 168 MPH lol
@@GrenadeMotorsports cool i really want 2 builed one any tios sir
Tips?
@@GrenadeMotorsports n how fast is the aceleration 0-60 let me guess
Weight is radiator disk brake maby light tubing 600cc maby aluminum 650 lbs or 1,200lbs? 0-60 in depending on gearing 5 seconds flat maby under 4 launching aggressively?
Would you share the plane of the chasis?
There are no plans- only drawings & sketches in an old notebook. I could do it much better now! Thanks so much for watching!
Did you use a billet pan for this? I need one for an '06 cbr1000rr that I'm building for F1000/FB.
actually '09 not '06 oops
All stock engine. Everything else was hand made.
Wouldn't it have oil starvation issues from cornering without either a dry sump or at least a billet pan
with a swing oil pickup?
It never mattered, the thing ran great for at least 5 years before we stopped hearing from the new owner. Sometimes, over thinking it, is a waste of time.
Live axle or diff?
Live axle but independently suspended. A center spool with a sprocket and disc on it connected to 2 CV axles. It was RAD. Thanks for watching!
Please what is the wheels ? and how mucnh cost this project ?
Wheels are 13" aluminum mini sprint car rims and the cost? Basically the same as buying a used 1000cc motorcycle and spending 2 years welding it together. Thanks for watching!
@@GrenadeMotorsports Thank you very much for your answer, where is the car today?
Last seen in Wisconsin on a road course five years ago. :)
Grenade Motorsports ok Nice, so im a french student and i would like to Build a f1 replica the same as you for use in a gokart road you think a 1100 cbr engine are quite powerful to have à good performances in race ?
Yes the 1100 CBR engines are plenty of power.
What chassis is this
It's my design. I built it from scratch. Thanks for watching!
what bike engine did you use btw and what are the specs?
This was a Honda CBR1000RR 2005
@@GrenadeMotorsports Thank you and the tyres?
@@GrenadeMotorsports Also what was the total weight of the car?
@@nadiv4351 No idea, maybe 675lb? It's been 10yrs ago
@@nadiv4351 13in spun aluminum rims bought used from a mini sprint car.
Wheels?
Yes it had them! Thanks for watching!
@@GrenadeMotorsports lol
So much yes
These things were so much fun. Thanks for watching!
@@GrenadeMotorsports thanks for posting. I hope you had an opportunity to bring it to the track.
@@calmaseva Yep. On a 3/8 mile banked oval we were within striking distance of winged sprint cars time. Then I spun it around and broke a timing chain. Repaired and drove many more miles in it. :)
Custom made Spun aluminum 13 inch. Douglas wheels can make you some. Thanks for watching!
@@GrenadeMotorsports thx man
How much did you get out of it?
+raythemanroe With the full body and wings on it, it sold for a little more than we had in it. It took over a year to build.
TOP SPEED?
We calculated through tire size, gearing, transmission ratios and chain length that it would reach a top speed of 178MPH. We had it over 100 for sure.
@@GrenadeMotorsports Thnx
Grenade Motorsports DAMN
Can I buy one of these?. I have the motor just need a chassis
They start at 15K. Still want one? :) Thanks for watching!!
Guess he didn't, lol.
Plans? Specs?
No plans other than my personal drawings of the car. It was back in 2008 we did this car. I could build one twice as fast and much better today. Price? If you have to ask.... :)
Grenade Motorsports how much would it be for you to build me a frame with all the hardware besides the motor. I'm very interested in your build and willing to buy one if you could make one
Email if you are interested also Michard3@gmail.com
Email me through GrenadeMotorsports.com and we can discuss it. Thanks!
Its a f1000 car
SCCA said that it's not. Did not meet several requirements as I recall. What it was, was fast af. Thanks so much for watching!
qual motor e esse?
2005 CBR1000RR Super Bike Engine.
Grenade Motorsports muito obrigado, valeu mesmo, estou projetando uma replica de um formula 1 e estou tentando buscar todo conhecimento que eu consegui.
como que passa as marchas nele?
Não tenho certeza do que você quer dizer, mas este foi muito rápido e o peso era de 800 libras.
por que eu nao falo ingles.
Turbo it
I would except the video was filmed over 10 years ago. That thing is long gone. Thanks so much for watching!
What happened to this thing? 🥲
A buddy ended up with it, not sure where it is today, this was a long time ago. It was crazy fast. Thanks for watching!
Please tell me you made the plans on paper and are able to share them 🥲
Yeah, for 750 per copy lol
Sorry, no, this was designed in chalk on the garage floor well over 10yrs ago. Thanks for watching!
