      I've noticed John and Issac have laid back on the humor. Earlier episodes they were a real Hoot! John had that hilarious laugh with Issac's cut up. Either way they are much more serious because its a full time job pitting this great content out constantly. Charles brought back that much needed humor and together the 3 are a sensational UA-cam video riot. Absolutely love the show

      Ike and John don't really have the same sense of humor. Charles knows how to talk crap in a joking way, like Ike does. Effectively.
      This smooths out a lot of err.. awkward.
      Not saying John don't have a sense of humor. Just not so skilled on the sh*t talkin'. ;-) For that he's a very technical boy and is the major reason we even get to see what them crazy 3 are up to.

    Honda Odyssey style steering/throttle/brake setup would eliminate foot pedals with the clutch on the gear lever, more safety also to have wrist restraints maybe??? Would then just need some foot rests instead of the pedals, easier to brace yourself in the seat also, great job on the build so far its going to be a sweet ride.

    John,you could be making extra jack by using that plasma table to design and cut out bracketry for the subscribers at an honest cost foe their own builds... Most one off brackets or pair of brackets would cost a person well over 100bux from any welding/ fab shop and lots of subs cant afford that kind of money for a few brackets... You'd be doing folks a solid as well as helping yourself out if you simply doubled the materials costs,and your time to lay out and hit start and be saving people a chunk while helping them realize their goals and builds...

    Alrighty, I was really impressed with the whole torsion spring/remote mounted shock idea. Maybe those Formula 1 inspired ideas and other unconventional solutions can be incorporated into coming builds. That being said, here’s another idea which is hardly new but could save an enormous amount of space and seems like it would be exceedingly simple to implement. Think Corvette…the front suspension could easily be sprung with a transversely mounted leaf-style spring. Seems it could easily be secured under the chassis and ‘attached’ to the lower a-arms without much affect to ground clearance. Food for thought.

      @g_compo8639 3 роки тому +1

      That would make it very hard for steering all it needs is brake peddle and a throttle pedal. Then hand shifter with clutch. If any crashes happen a steering wheel is far safer due to your legs wont be trapped under the handle bar and risk snapping a leg if you shift out the seat or risk them puncturing your body if the crumble from a roll over. Handle bars belong on bikes dude

    Man, I was on the fence about this build the 1st episode but I love where it’s going now. I really think you guys should consider a top A arm for the front suspension. I would also delete the live axle and do (my Terminology might be off) 2 trailing arms in the back. run 2 chains on each side for each rear wheel off that jack shaft. You know it would be sick if this little guy had independent suspension!!

    • @jamesmcgee9279
      @jamesmcgee9279 3 роки тому

      The front and rear suspension has a unique design to it. My only concern is in the rear. The mid-chassis allows for the main chassis frame to drag below the mid to rear suspension frame. With a hard enough landing, you could do some serious damage to your lower back and the chassis. Alas, I hope it holds up.

    This so a cool build. Thank you for for using a different motor than the predator

    Try a concept like the c4 corvette I think it was. A single leaf suspension in the front.
