If this suspension setup is going as I think...it reminds me of an old Lego dune buggy kit I had as a kid. Love watching the fab work! It was kit #8845 from 1981. lol
We had that 'occillation'problem trying to cut the first Crown Vic/LTD axles.Higher speed and slower tool feed kept them from 'corkscrewing'the bearing surfaces.That far from the bracing of the tool mounts allows that fun stuff to show.I just 3x speed and cut tool feed by 50% and they quit vibrating.
All that weight reduction will be appreciated. Reducing the moment of inertia of all that rotational mass will make such a difference from a dead stop. Thanks for all the work to bring us along!
Awesome work,Chris.I love watching you take stock materials and turn them into rolling art.Thank you for sharing all these difficult steps along the way.
Advice regarding the lathe. Whilst your easy rest is beefy, it lacks any lateral support. Vibration, enters the pipe section and it moves around it. I suggest adding some fins on the outside to give it extra rigidity AND wider or double bearings. You can actually see it flex, when you manually move it from the pulley.
You need a plasma torch to cut things out rather than using the grinder to do so much cutting. It’s fast and clean. Then just a very little bit of clean up with a grinder. You have a lot of nice equipment for your builds. A plasma cutter would be a nice upgrade. I really like mine. I put off purchasing one for a long time. Once I finally got one it’s has been a fantastic tool to have
Nice work done. I hope that it will get a little smaller, that would be cool. Small and rather light weight with some serious torque. Greetings from Swizerland 🇨🇭
Dude !! You one hell of a machinist. Excellent craftsmanship. Awesome vids. Makes me get out in my garage and putter around. Keep up the good work . Can’t wait to see what you’ve dreamt up for this project.
Kind of sucks know one makes front wheel hubs with a brake rotor hub for this hobby. Just about everything needs to be custom made or you grab automotive parts. You always do great work.
Awesome job! Have you ever thought of trying to use suspension parts and hubs from a small front wheel drive car? Might save time... I say might because I'm sure they would need to be modified to allow for the suspension travel a buggy should have... In any case, Glad to see another project started! People complaining about not finishing one before starting another don't have any idea how this stuff works.
Looks like you need a live centre for your lathe. Also maybe you should look at buying a bigger lathe with a digital read out . That is a very long time to machine that . Looks great though!👍
@@GaisaSanktejo As a machinist myself I can say that making parts less complex that meet tolerances specified in the drawing can take MUCH more time than his parts have taken him.
Hello Friend how are you.? I watch all your videos and I realize that you have done an excellent way of doing things ... I was inspired to make a small buggy. My only question for you is? !! How can I get the small ball joints on ebay from the suspension forward
Bother you are ready for some new equipment. How 'bout you sell many of the vehicles you built and now just store. Its time. Your skills and the things you build exceed your present equipment. Watching you struggle with that lathe you built. I'm rooting for you! Great content! I look forward to seeing more!
If I can give you any advise....when you start building.....always go smaller than you think you need....its easy to make things way bigger than you really need.....its challenging to make same things in a smaller space.....less is more!!!
Youre doing so well. My girlfriend is a videographer and media manage among other things and im the fabricator. You literally have BOTH of our skills and its very impressive how far youve come without a partner. Good job man. Keep em coming if you can, i enjoy the content.
So you don't have to struggle with lining up the pipe (or stock in general) make a bar, akin to the roller bar used to make diamond patterns, but with a smooth rollers. You have that at 90 to the stock piece and at the slowest speed you can get, with the jaws, just a kiss loose, you touch the wheel to the stock, until it becomes set. Old trick, works really well. First few times, i recommend you stick something between you and the stock tho, as you might get it too much and it might fly.
If you are making a rear suspension, like your twin engine buggy, I hope you make much longer suspension arms. If you have the pivot closer to center, like under the seat, and definitely not behind the seat, when you give it some throttle the rear won't lift or jack like your old one did. I'd start with arms half of the wheel base in length. Easier to shorten than lengthen.
530 chain is the exact same thing as #50 industrial chain that you can find everywhere and for pretty cheap. You might not be able to find very big sprockets in 530 since almost every aftermarket brands only do 520 . I think you should use #50 sprockets with a 530 o-ring chain, it's cheap and super easy to find.
It’s all looking good chris, I bet you felt like you could do with a waterJet/plasma cnc for doing those carriers haha tedious work with the grinder, but you have to crack on with all you have tool wise. Hope all’s well over that side of the pond for you and your family, and hope you are taking time out from all this hard work buddy, need to make time for yourself and remember the majority of us patient lot will all still be here 👍🏻
What is it about these time lapses that I could just watch for 24 continuous hours! You earned my sub a while back, so what a treat when I came bac k and you had 12 videos for an AWESOME build all lined up for me! :D This guy needs more subs, more thumbs! Great work!!!
Since it's similar to a jackshaft on either side, or maybe exactly a jackshaft I'm not really sure. Unless I am overlooking something you will be able to have even greater control over the gear ratio to the rear tires! Heck! You could even have the left and right tires at different ratios! lol
i use to never wear a respirator when i would do any sort of grinding... i always do now. your face at the end is why lmaooo its crazy how much of that dust gets EVERYWHERE.. and in your lungs is not where you want it lol (or eyes!)
My Hat Off to you buddy, keep up the great work. Also I would like you to design a 4 speed plus reverse gearbox and then fabricate an oil pan and enclosure thus turning it into a long lasting gearbox. -Stay Safe! *-Arbër*
Bro I've watched your channel for a couple years now and I've seen your skills increase dramatically.. both projects and the video editing and quality is outstanding.. yove come a long way man and I hope you can go longer!
What is the material thickness? Even something .080 may not be thick enough without serious triangulation. Fencing is usually coated so it doesn't rust. Don't be welding on anything zinc coated indoors.... if you do you won't have to worry about having done it for long :-/
Thanks man for this great video ! I'm a super your fan, i whatch all of your videos, and i think super cool all your buildings, and one of my dreams it's build a car someday from scratch ! Things are no that easy in Brazil, but someday in the future i will do it somehow ! Thanks for all the projects and videos ! From your fan, on Brazil ! =D
I just can't stop watching this art ever time is a new challenge and he comes up with brilliant ideas... great job
Nice Job. It's nice to see someone still makes things the right way. No shortcuts.
Some people don't realize how long it takes to make things on manual equipment. Nice job!
With "some", you mean "a lot of"?
@@LilPopeye Correct.. Srry if you were offended.
Then there’s oldies who’d say that lathes aren’t manual equipment
No doubt just to aline that tube in the chuck is about 30 minute job before he can even turn on the lathe
Who cares
Amazing how you slapped these tin cans together into such a amazing design💯

I knew I should have gotten into the machining and welding as a profession and watching you just reinforced that. Dang!

last 10 seconds made me cry from laughing, thx
Well done sir. Looking forward to the chassis build,
Nice work done. I hope that it will get a little smaller, that would be cool. Small and rather light weight with some serious torque.

Your fabrication with basic tools is awsome dude. Keep doing what your doing. Love it
My hat's off to you, I really enjoy watching you fab every part of your builds. You have an amazing craft
Great work, glad you made improvements to the rear hubs. Its gonna be great.
HaHa I feel ya man. My face gets that dirty everyday at work.
LoL I just love the ending look like me at end of day
That music was badass. Seriously awesome choice right there.
You do amazing work on that metal lathe.
Absolute beast! You are an amazing engineer man.
Dude !! You one hell of a machinist. Excellent craftsmanship. Awesome vids. Makes me get out in my garage and putter around. Keep up the good work . Can’t wait to see what you’ve dreamt up for this project.
Rather be machining... Love watching you put in work.
I'm enjoying the fabrication. It's definitely time consuming but well worth it in the end.
Finally some veight saving. Hopefully you dont overbuild the frame. And it will be small.
Homeboys skill is on another level...
Love your vids boss 👍
Always enjoy watching u work such talent w u got mad skills
Excellent work! 👍
Dude you are a awesome machinist, you would make a lot of money doing what I do for a living.

The swing arm drive is also used on the 6x6 and 8x8 tatra truck I believe.

Yeah no way for proper travel with susp.from road cars... Short a arms and cheapest possible struts ;
A wrecked rzr or decent sized four wheeler might be better than a car
Your skills are inpressive!

"These things only took three and a half days to build..."

Considering the complexity and how he's using a home made lathe, I'd say that's impressive!

10:15 I guess you'd rather be welding?
How did i miss part 1?!? Gotta go watch that now
Great Job on the channel Man ! I really enjoy it .
Can't wait to see how you make the steering on this thing bud 👌
Fuck that's impressive man it happens so fast on the time laps lol
always enjoy watching your videos, good work.
The front hubs looks awesome keep up
Even I'm going to start new project like this
You`re a talented dude, Keep up the good work!
Amazing video
Hope a some point you make gokart with car engine like a v8

Yes! I like this video.
can you do a bolt circle on your DRO on your mill? would be easier i would think. love the channel keep it up.
What are your thoughts on buying off-the-shelf hubs to save you weeks of machining??
Going to use 50mm square fence post to make a simulator frame, wish me luck because my only other time welding was two rims together

not gonna lie, I bet that shower after all that grinding felt like heaven.
And also blackened the tub
@@mynameisnotjeff4184 OR a tub of ferro fluid!
@@Sc1Z what's the difference /s
@@mynameisnotjeff4184 i suppose where you stick the magnet? :D
Just chuck one of those cv rear ends together for me and send over to Australia cheers mate
Just use a car differential carrier and mount with bearings. Plug in cv joints and sprocket goes where the ring gear normally mounts
Pls make this buggy a lot smaller than the previous ones, look at how cross carts are built. Other than that really nice work!
Got a good laugh at your metal dust face.😁
I real life always forget you made that lathe 🤣
Awesome work mate from Australia!
It’s incredible how you’ve grown as a fabricator. F’ing amazing work!!!👍🏽
Keep up the great work, Bud🍺
How brainy are you 😳 love all in house made projects you do.👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
All I can say is, 'Oh my Lord!'
Eyy, don't forget! You wanted to race your grave ninja against Grind hard Plumbings
nice job
your the best yuotuber from a good reason !
you are better than some engineers :)) keep going like this
Will the new frame actually be triangulated this time?
