Great idea, it really just needs more gearing. I did a similar system many years back using an electric wheelchair motor and a freewheeling hub from a bicycle. The freewheeling hub only engaged in reverse and had an unusual side effect, that it made a sort of hill hold system, I could however disengage it with the in out clutch on the wheelchair motor. I also utilised the bicycle hub as a jackshaft to increase the gear ratio, meaning it was very slow, but could easily break traction even with me in it, and being so slow, it seemed to crawl out of bogs better, and it drew less current than a winch being a very efficient motor and gearbox. Thanks also for another great video.
@@looking4flint69 with still need a bigger battery be it starter or winch they is not enough amp hours or cranking amps in that small battery to do the job i would go with caravan motor movers myself
I’ve got the same winch on my car hauler. I’ve pulled a full size truck up on it with a car battery only. The winch is plenty strong, just not enough juice to push it.
Use the winch cord and make it so you can shift the kart into another gear and make a gas powered winch And to all of the people that are just saying get a reverse box it was just a experiment to see if it would work don’t rag on him!
I had an old 6hp tiller engine that had an output on the cam also, had a regular Oregon centrifugal clutch on the crank, but had a small pulley on the cam, and a bigger one on the rear axle with a super simple "belt slack clutch". Worked great for years. Changing the reverse belt sucked, but it worked pretty good.
i was sorta thinking that but i thought of a way to make it 4 speed, but with slight modification my idea might be same as your, i even thought of a way to make a shifter for it,
,,,,, “school of hard knocks” this is exactly what it means i think it’s completely bad ass for his way of doing it his way and staying true to his heart and soul ROCK ON man bad ass
I was watching someone on UA-cam he used a snowmobile engine starter gear and the electric starter . just a idea , keep the vids coming I watch every one and cannot wait to see more of the rockcrawler build
You need a dedicated chain and sprocket that raises the gear ratio... use the FREESPOOL lever as your on and off! Hard mount the winch... leave the chain connected at all times and run a lever to engage/disengage the spool!
I love the effort you put into this, shit I wouldn't know where to start, but the laughs I got from this where worth all the time I put in watching this right through x 1000 :)
I used one of these to make a gate opener, adding chain sprocket to it. Was a hassle. You can use a car starter motor instead, they are easily obtainable for free, and are a lot quieter. The winch is loud as hell. But love the effort. Good thing you have a lathe! :)
I also built a cement mixer using one of these motors, and you might have noticed, they are timed to have a lot more power when pulling instead of releasing the cable, i.e. spinning one way not the other. I built my mixer to spin the wrong way at first, and the motor worked badly and overheated quickly, but once going the other way, it worked great and ran on a car battery all day pouring concrete. Loud, but works, you need a strong 12v battery like a starter car battery.
Bryant Zeigler oh wow, your real smart 😂. It’s got a clutch, that when not engaged-and not in gear, means that it will not move, but you can roll it. A centrifugal clutch only works when your rev the engine, when idling, if idle is set not too high, it will not move or attempt to move.
I've seen somewhere on a crosskart they have a gear around the brake rotor like a flywheel and use a car starter for electric reverse. Welds are looking good!
you can use an old starter / generator combo and it would make power as well at the same time . I did it on go cart for the grandkids, has normal pulley so you can get a normal size sprocket as well. it works, cheers.
I took inspiration from your two speed "sprocketbox" and I'm currently working on one of my own with three forward speeds AND a reverse. All of it done with #40 chain, sprockets, and off the shelf parts.
May not have worked they way you wanted. But great proof of concept. It’s great they way you actually make what you need not just buy everything like the rest of the go kart channel do.
Depends on the application. Gearbox= more friction= more power loss. Big battery may not be necessary if only used for short durations backing up. The bigger CCA lawn tractor battery with decent sized cables and solenoid should be adequate.
Old 2 stroke golf carts had a starter generator that was basically an alternator that also worked as a motor. It has forward and reverse capability and would start the 2 stroke in either direction, then when the motor is running, it starts charging.
If you want to use an electric gearbox, go to a salvage yard and get a starter motor. A simpler answer is the reverse gearbox that is commercially available, possibly go power sports. I have been riding Gold Wings that use an electric reverse since 1994, they used the starter for reverse, one of the key things is that your engine needs to be running when you back up, one reason why that stalled out is voltage drop on the battery since the engine isn't running, you might also want to run a car battery instead of the tiny underpowered battery you are using.
Some of those little winches are noisy buggers! I got a good deal a Bear Claw winch once because the seller thought it was damaged. I took it apart and discovered that it wasn't busted, it just sounded like it was because of how the gearing was set up. I'd try more battery before trying more motor. If all you've got on-board is that little lawn tractor battery, it's gonna have a hard time, or an even harder time with a starter motor. Then again, if you used a starter, you could mount a matching flywheel or flexplate to your rear axle and use the starter as-is and you wouldn't have to come up with an engagement mechanism.
Starter and flywheel from 350 Chevy.You can adapt the flywheel and ring gear to your axle.The starter will have the torque with that diameter.No contact unless engaged.
You need a “sprag clutch “ . It’s a one way clutch that resembles a bearing. Its kinda like what is in the rear wheel of every bike that makes that clicking sound when you stop pedaling. There are lots of variations of the sprag clutch. Just look it up. And your electric motor needs a higher rpm rating so you can gear it down without it loosing its internal momentum.
Pretty cool! What if you hit a bump at full speed and your spring loaded reverse contraption swings down on the chain accidentally? Regenerative braking? Just saying, love your videos.
A starter motor and flywheel ring gear from a riding lawnmower. Attach the ring gear to the big drive sprocket on the axle. Then mount the starter motor on a bracket to engage the ring gear. Actuate with a push button.
Here's an idea. Chain an electric motor into the rear axle and it will have its own pedal and switch. Like it can be like regenerative braking where it produces energy assuming there's enough space to put in ac to dc schematics there and have a flip switch in which it switches the battery from being a generator to fully working as a motor. A plan I'm thinking of putting on my project electric gokart
@rather b welding ive spent some time lookinginto something similar and you could actually use a one-way bearing, otherwise known as a sprag or overrun bearing. this would allow it to freewheel when the engine is turning normally, then when you engage the winch motor in reverse the sprags engage and it pulls the kart backwards
I used to have a 6 Wheeler that used a starter motor for Reverse. A starter works great for reverse because of the strong overrunning clutch and plunging gear. (Plus they're very torquy) If you can find a gear pitch and size to match, that would be the way to go.
The theory is good. In 1977 my dad bought blueprints to a Popular Mechanix UrbaCar, and it used a 1964 Ford starter motor for the reverse. I think the drive on those is easy to remove, leaving only a shaft.
How about a car starter for the motor and a small flywheel for the sprocket? If you got a transmission that fits the flywheel and motor you can cut down the flywheel housing to make a mounting bracket. That way the flywheel can spin freely until you engage the starter.
Maybe a used Starter motor from a car or truck. Would engauge and release automatic and heavy duty. Could get some used flexplates from the junkyard cheap. Could reverse polarity to run backwards ?? idk if that would work. Could have two starter motors on two gears for forward and reverse. Emergecy power or power boost.
You are definitely a very talented machinest. Given you do have a tig welder you should be using that to weld tubing and pipe. With mig you only get a limited depth weld which is good on plate metal. With tig you'll get a capillary thru weld that is far stronger on tubing and pipe and can be ground down to look better. I have a diploma in welding technology. Which included reading and writing welding blueprints. Types of welds used in various applications. And was a full time (certified) ironworker (union) welder for almost three years before I became a Coast Guard seaplane and helo Flight Mechanic. Then of all things. A jukebox, arcade and pinball game and pool table tech which included learning how to repair computers eventually. I still do occasional welding. Just not professionally anymore. Your work is certainly outstanding.
I think the starter motor would be simple to do. You could mount the starter motor to frame and use a flex plate/flywheel from the same engine the starter comes from. You could make an adapter to mount the flex plate on too axle. The starter could be ridged mounted so you wont have to have an elaborate mechanism to engage it. Once you give the starter powre the gear pops out and contacts the flex plate and turns the axle. When you remove the power the gear goes back in and disconnects from the flex plate
I’ve always wanted to do this with a starter motor from a car. Plus it will only engage when you need it. Surely you could machine up an old flywheel with ringear for it run along.
Proof is right there great idea and test now if you have the power and engagment. Also i think your going to break the chain if you dont tension it underneath some How. Watch the video again when it backed up tje driveway it has so much load
there an idea to prevent the winch from bouncing around add a stronger and slighty shorter spring and weld a metal piece as a stopper to prevent it from going higher into the chain
You either need to have the machine running or a bigger battery but that winch has more than enough power to move that buggy wherever you want, you just need the juice to make it work.
Cool concept, don't worry too much about making it pretty, I'd just prototype until things work and then made a real one when the design is proven, or just pretty up the one you had already made.
You need to put a larger sprocket on the winch. The way they are designed is they have more pulling capability with more wire on the drum so if you were to put a larger sprocket on it it would be the equivalent of having more wire on the spool.
Very nice work on the machining and fabrication of the part i think its really cool watching a metal worker make welds that look like a machine or robot did them i personally did Woodworking as a profession for 20 years , my Grandfather was a Welder/ Machinist by trade. And i was only shown by my Dad some welding basics. I can accomplish some structual welds but Nothing very good looking ? I did however work at a Shop that did Architectual Woodworking in one area and Architectual Metal in another shop on the property and a large. Part of the operation was Aluminum fabrication and welding A couple of the guys tried to show me how to " lay " down that Aluminum Weld but i never seemed to have the technique ? So i left it up to the experts
Neat and inventetive but go power sports sales forward and reverse gearbox. But I think you got something that just needs a little artfulness and inventetiveness. Your very smart. Great idea. You'll get it soon. Very good idea.
Try using a 16 volt battery, (like for race cars, they have stronger power for winches) and using a bicycle freewheel sprocket off the rear wheel of an old bmx bike! -engages when turned one way, ratchets when turned the other!
Good idea, bad wench. In my experience with harbor freight wenches, they’re not water proof, so mounting it down there is not conducive to long life. Sorry, just being honest. Have you seen the reverse kits they’re selling on amazon? They fit onto torque converters, they have F N R, for $150. I think they only handle 10hp, but look interesting.
I have watched most of this build and it's been great but I still stick to my thoughts about a motorcycle engine . It will have tons of power, trans, clutch. Having a cycle engine will even , maybe lighten it up. something like a 750 honda or kawasaki engine , even better Hayabusa engine. That would be a piece of cake for you !
@@K.J.Ray421 ... Yes you are right ! I've been riding most of my life so I don't know what I was thinking when I wrote that , ggg. But there are reverse kit for motorcycles.
Winch should move it better but the battery really seem to be the issue and to find different motors washer and dryers run off belts and depending on the one 3-5 hp great thinking definitely saw your quick work need more of this
Congrats, you've just made the world's showers and heaviest RC car. Jk, it's an interesting thought, but I think it needs a larger sprocket for more torque.
Could have a second wheel which could be lowered down and lift the cart slightly at a 90deg angle to the axel. 360 Turns in place. Poor in Mud but may be simple for turning in a lot of situations.
Yea that's cool I think you need more amps or u could leave the engine running and separate the engine cong so the engine does not turn when the motor spins. That's a cool idea maybe you could use a car starter instead

You don’t have enough amps from the small battery you are using, you should try a forward and reverse transfer box
jimmy tillery it was a concept
Yea, suffering huge voltage drop.
Those are rated about 7-12hp max depending on the exact model. I have popped one with a hotrod 212
Evil Me not to mention he'd have a mess of jackshafts to make it work on his 2 speed
Might also pay to beef up the power cables and connectors.
Instant thumbs up for your ingenuity...whether things work good or not you're always thinking and that is awesome..keep up the great work.
battery to small keep engine running to keep battery charging
I agree with david start motor or bigger batt
@@looking4flint69 with still need a bigger battery be it starter or winch they is not enough amp hours or cranking amps in that small battery to do the job i would go with caravan motor movers myself

At some point you need to smack two of those gearboxes together to make a 3 speed with reverse😎😎 know it's gonna be complicated but It'd be hella swag

A
Great idea, the motor might be to weak but you ned a more powerfull battery.
throw a solid 12v at it and let it take the amps it needs that motor will do it.
These are the type videos I miss seeing. Actual fabrication work and not bolting of parts and pieces together. Enjoy seeing the machine work!
Can you do a one way sprocket like on a bike.
,,,,, “school of hard knocks” this is exactly what it means i think it’s completely bad ass for his way of doing it his way and staying true to his heart and soul ROCK ON man bad ass
I think it's a brilliant idea! Thumbs up! 👍😁
why have not 100% electric and do this by switching a switch for the controller? (:
11:30 when your RC Car is on it's last bit of battery.
Pretty slick idea.... ! Gonna have to remember this.....
I was watching someone on UA-cam he used a snowmobile engine starter gear and the electric starter . just a idea , keep the vids coming I watch every one and cannot wait to see more of the rockcrawler build
Can't wait to see the revised version!!!!
Trial and error, that's how the good stuff gets created. Keep it up man! Good to see a youngster with some skills👍👍✌️😎
Great idea!
Maybe you could reassemble that winch and use it on the kart to pull you out of the mud or other difficult situations?
You need a dedicated chain and sprocket that raises the gear ratio... use the FREESPOOL lever as your on and off! Hard mount the winch... leave the chain connected at all times and run a lever to engage/disengage the spool!
Great idea just killed me when you start the winch before engaging contact with the chain

add a few battery in parrallel or bigger 1 will help with the amp required for the motor
More battery power bud 👍
Again love seeing the work on the lathe. That is a really good idea it may just work with what you have with a taller gear
If you’d start the engine it would mean the battery wouldn’t be flat if you constantly used it, and the engine would only be idling.
No think about it like this he is trying to go backwards a start the engine up the engine is trying to go forward
@@bryantzeigler8244 it's got a clutch on the engine plus there's a neutral position in his gearbox

add an alternator so you can use the petrol motor to run the electric motor. The higher charging voltage output will help with your torque issues.

Use one ur homemade 2 speed axel contraption that will just engage it with a lever. Like the one in the 2 speed go kart
Could have a second wheel which could be lowered down and lift the cart slightly at a 90deg angle to the axel. 360 Turns in place. Poor in Mud but may be simple for turning in a lot of situations.

what if you use an actual flywheel from small 4cyl engine like a honda for sprocket which can accept the starter motor for reverse?
