Gotta hand it to you Rudy, your fabrication skills are off the charts. You just keep getting better and better.
Perfectly stated!
You can see the "Matt' genes coming through here; the conception of the build in Rudy's mind, and then execution with confidence and clarity, plus the additional skills of Zack (what an asset he's become), the approval of Higgins and the occasional incursion of the quiet and delightful Janelle. If the build competition has a 'whole team package' prize, RAD should get it!
As for the name of the build, how about The Maxi-Mini???
MaxRAD!Mini...😂❤
The build is looking great and yes Janelle does make a beautiful counter-balance. She also has a good sense of humor. Keep up the good work folks.
Janelle is so awesome, lights up a room like no other. Keep up the great work guys. Cant wait to see you win this challenge.
Rudy , I was skeptical of the car choice till I saw the direction this rig went ! This has turned out to be the most interesting rig in the challenge..bunch of creative fab work with no fluff..keep it up!
I'm not a off-roader & don't need onX I did vote while open voting was allowed & i'm still following each build ! I think yours is the most interesting of all !
This is an excellent mix of engineering, fabrication, imagination, vision, and execution. And the videos are well done.
I love this build! It's like when a kid puts their dad's work boots on and goes stomping around the house!
Rudy's brain working overtime, awesome job Rudy
This build video is up there with your best. The 3 of you make a great team. I’m really looking fwd to following the entire 6 week build.
The mini Cooper is totally RAD.
Rudy you are incredible, you guys and gal are building the coolest build. I’m all in for RAD!
@@jajs283 team Higgins
The look on Janelle’s face: ‘You’ll pay for that when the camera stops recording evidence!" xD . Love this build, one of your best yet!
Absolutely love this series! Cannot wait to see a Cooper S flying off a dune!
Rudy's great at fabrication he doesn't get enough credit he should have a million subscribers.
The mock up you had set up in the very beginning of the video, really made me want you to design an oversized atv-like rear end. I think it'd be wild to see a huge banshee like swing arm and some big fat shocks. I don't think I've ever seen a road vehicle set up like that. But, I'm excited for this build. I think it's gonna be a "rad" machine :)
*Dang..* Paul and Chad are killing it in Votes .. *let's GO Team RAD!!* 👍😎✊
Where does one vote?
@JF-lt5zc just Google On-x off road build challenge. You have to create an account but you can do a free one or if you want many of the people involved have a code for 20-30% off
What an amazing project to watch come to life! So looking forward to the rest of your very creative build. It will look fabulous climbing up the trails! Thank you for letting us tag along.
Love the attention to detail in the videos when it comes to building out projects. I hate when dudes on a build series say what they’re going to do then it cuts to the finished project. Amazing work.
THIS!!! Thanks for taking the time to show us what your doing and why. Really helps understand why you do what you do
WOW! ... I am impressed with both your engineering and fabrication on the steering and suspension ... I have watched all your builds since you worked on both the banana & moorvair in your dads shop and as far as I'm concerned this tops them all. Fantastic job man.
I’m really enjoying all the coverage on the fabrication. I don’t know squat about off road suspension, but watching you on the cooper project I’m getting educated.
This thing is going to be SO good. Small, tall, probably 0 degrees approach and departure angles. Only place you might get caught out is break over, but who knows.
small car must equal small rocks. call it pebbles XD
Pebble crawler?
You have some MAD fab skills. Picturing that steering in your head and being able to put it to practice is harder than people realize.
Third times the charm is what I've usually found for welding a nut to a broken bolt too. It seems that three heat cycles and more melty melt is what helps.
Wow! You really are making some cool looking suspensions Rudi! First Kaulins truck and now the CooperLander! True works of art!
I didn't realize you were home-schooled. That's really cool, and it shows. Your geometry and fabrication skills are amazing!!!! I never cease to be impressed..😮
Thank you Zach! You never throw away bubble wrap without popping it!😀 Would like to have seen a tire rolled across it for the machine gun sound but that’s ok! 🤣👍👍 This build looks awesome!
RAD is what you do. I love your fabrication skillz!
Coming along great guys. I had reservations about chopping the Cooper, but seeing now that you are actually engineering a fully custom rig that will be a beast makes me so stoked about it. This is no body swap trinket. I love it!
LOVE the 'pointer'!!!
Off do a good start. I can hardly wait to see where this ends up. If your looking for a name I say call it the MiniCon. Have a great day, good video.
The Mini will be a beast! Power to weight ratio will be insane 👍
I'm glad you're finally letting Zach speak more in the videos ! 👍😉
you misspelled "making" 😃
@@TheJbaugher 😂
Such a chatterbox 😂
Zach seems like a good dude to have around a shop. very chill and helpful kinda vibe.
Things you can say of your onx car but not your girlfriend,,, she's the counter weight LOL.
i call my wife a counter weight or anchor.
Are you saying she's that fat?😢
@yvonnedavis1622 she keeps me secure, or i would float away.
@@yvonnedavis1622 no she keeps me secure. she is not fat i tell her that too.
@@mattwoodgate3507 LOL you make me laugh there you go throwing that F word around LOL 🤣😂🤣
Rudy great job so far on your mini Cooper. My suggestion about your designs is that if you can Patton your fabrication desings, you should Patton your designs because you're coming up with some great ideas on the Cooper and your brother truck. You're killing it 👏. Zach is going great with his work as well. Keep up your great work and videos.
rudy you are a talented dude around the shop my man....the frank zappa of the offroad scene, very creative, it's fun to see a true artist at work.
Love the build, you are a pretty smart person to see the design in your head and then bring it to reality is something else! This is a great episode, liking the length of the video and seeing how it is all coming together is amazing. Your build is top of the list, you are building a rig like no other, awesome job and keep up the fantastic videos. Thanks for sharing!
I really enjoy this on X build because having a plan is really smart of the progress you want to get done every week
Rudy jus spits out front end geometry so well. Educating me.!
This is fascinating, even though I don't know what half the stuff you are talking about is or why you are doing what you are doing. Came here from MORR. (I love the puppy.)
Wow! That is a lot of challenging engineering and really interesting to observe as y’all work out solutions. 👍
It’s easy to see, Zac is the most valuable tool outside of the CAD software. 😉
Someone else suggested a vehicle name from the Flintstones cartoon, which is cute. I personally always DINO was the smartest of all the Flintstone cartoon characters. 😁
Some nifty geometry and fabrication. Plus beefy and durable, yet maintainable. Hats off.
It's ok, Zach, we are never too old to enjoy popping bubble wrap.
I think the windshield is providing 90% of your structural strength 😮
@@tiredagain6722 What's left of the body, is nothing but a 'tub', sitting on top of a custom built frame. It could be made of plywood and it would still hold up.
nope! .... 85.3% at most
I have a hard time wrapping my mind around the design but I'm not a fabricator and I suck at math LOL I have total faith you'll work it out and it will be epic and way more intricate than any of the other builds going on.
Careful, Rudy. With her being an EMT, she knows the ancient art of Howtahurtaguy. :D And good luck getting your glove back from Higgins.
Keep up the innovation, should be pretty darn capable when done. Love the steering design, your mom and dad taught you well.
She’s a solid little counter weight, that lump of railroad track!
Tom Tom is currently building a very similar suspension on his square body (Dig dug).
Being able to fab up a suspension from scratch is fantastic. Waiting patiently for the next video and then, the completed vehicle. I'm still wondering if the diesel has enough guts to push this Mini monster to the limits, but it will be a cool machine regardless.
Best build so far of all the onx off road builds I have seen so far.
VOTE for Rudy’s build! Everyday!
LOVE the crazy, ingenious design…
Rudy (and Zach), thanks so much for the break down of the steering you are using. I found that to be really informative. This build is really cool, and Rudy's passion for it shines thru. Now, i know this is an off-road build, but to me it just Screams NITROUS! Please tell me we are adding nitrous to this baby!
Rudy and Zack. One of the many things that I've learned over the 30+ years of being a machinist. I have learned to answer people's questions with a question of my own. On your stripped out cap screw, what's holding it in place? Let's keep it very simple and basic. The head of the cap screw is that's holding it in place. If you take I drill bit the is a little bit larger that the threads of the bolt and drill the head off you're good to go.
I am surprised that you’re doing it the hard way, not just slapping the mini on a jeep frame!
This is my new favorite build !!!
Looks Great Rudy keep wielding.
It's about time. Get it built!
As a MINI Cooper S guy, ( we have 4) I believe everyone should modify their car to suit their wants/needs/style. Keep up the good work.
Have you seen the Super Cooper! 500 ponies!
@@shcaskey Was that the one on Jay Leno Garage?
@@Mini-Driver I think so.
@@shcaskey I saw that episode. I would love to swap in an LS, but I don't have the skills or shop for that.
Rudy you are such a beast I love watching you and your whole family make videos keep on keeping on guys
I am impressed. You are building a vehicle like you see on Grindhard Plumbing, Peck Brothers and Misadventure Lab BUT you aren’t doing it as a ridiculous joke. I think this build will impress the other builders and will be great in performance. Good luck. 👍
Really enjoyed this video one of your best. Very innovative. Great explanations of the processes. Can't wait to see the finished build. And did anyone else notice the Higgins glove theft at around 1702-1715?
😂😂
9:33 we all saw that emotional damage 😂😂
Hello Rudy , find some rubber washers and put on bolts that bolt to frame chassis !
Hey Rudy. @17:01 of the video, your dog has a glove in it's mouth. And @ 17:12 we see the dog running out of the shop. Then @ 17:34 we see your dog coming back in the shop without the glove. Did you ever get it back? Or are you still looking? 🤣🤣🤣! Cool pooch. Can't wait to see how the project turns out.👍
That's a good old Canadian boy!!. Kempville ontario. Been a fan for over a decade. Rudy. Your awesome. Keep your amazing path! Great things are coming your way!!.
You both are amazing at this!!
Mini Pooper! Looking great
that pointer is top notch👌
So much great build progress in this video . Love it guys!!
Great build! Awesome entertainment! ❤ I dreamed of putting atv tires on my 1982 Volkswagen Rabbit and stronger springs to jack it up. This build is light years ahead of that and totally inspiring. 😂
Build is looking good.. love the Cooper. Different for sure.
I am totally impressed with all the calculations you had to do to get your steering set up!
Liking the idea to this build! Looking forward to seeing it completed.
I love this project, tell you what you are born for this man.
The Maxi Cooper is coming along great guys!
It's clear you have a lot of planning done. Looking forward to how you overcome all these engineering/ packaging obstacles.
Rudy, when you're done with that, that thing's gonna be so cool. Lookin so cool looking dude.Good job
I have to say that I have watched everything that you have made starting from the beginning of your dad's channel and this is truly the best of them all. Keep up the great work!!!
Good morning from rainy beautiful Florida❤. Great build Rudy🙌
39:24 shout out the Peck Brothers! Zach needs to figure it out bud 😂
What an amazing build… your skills are very impressive. Ruby..
Rudy I believe your rig has the most math in it than anyone else. When I think about building one myself, with all that math to figure out I fall asleep.( I think my brain just shuts down before it overheats )
The mini coupe is shaping up to be an awesome vehicle on and off road. As for the name .. I'm thinking "Mad Rax" or "RAD Max". absolutely a mad max/RAD combination. good job guys. I wish you good luck with the rest of the build.
Stunning build.
Love your appreciation for the OM617T. A great engine for this build. And something different from the usual, kinda boring Cummins and LS swaps one usually sees in the US.
Your engineering is top notch. I guess, none of your competitors is coming up with such sophisticated solutions.
Thumbs up.
Cheers from Germany
This is the most interesting build yet! 👍👍👍
Loving this build Rudy, and I vote for you every day.
Dude...love that bell crank steering. You're one creative dude.
"Super Duper Mini Cooper"! (SDMC).... Well, I tried. Maybe something better will come up in my mind or yours later. Amazing skills there, guys! As someone once said, "Anything the mind can imagine, man can build."
I will say too, this is probably the most ambitious build out of all the competitors. Everyone else has an established frame to build off of and Rudy's just making it himself. Between this and team trail-builds-it definitely interesting and cool builds
at 22:32: you're right, you never have to grow up on the inside and don't ever forget it
It's a joke until they get home. That is when Rudy gets in trouble!
Lovin' this build, Rudy. You're doing things I would never have thought of doing, and I'm here for it!
awesome build, great work guys!!
That custom chassis is amazing and not just cause no one else is trying it!
I am so happy you're back on TV every Monday🎉 I miss seeing your beautiful face❤
Not noticed before but Janelle has the most lovely soft voice, an absolute pleasure to listen too. a good long video this time, much more better IMHO, jobs going well too.
THE SUPER COOPER is looking good Rudy, quite a crazy build you have going on there. looks like Janelle is becoming Camra shy.
I’m so impressed with You,Matt & Janell the commitment you guys have to giving us some insight into what it take to get the job done
