I've watched your videos through the many different editing types you've done and whatever you like doing, I dont mind it. A combination is fine, whatever isn't going to drive you insane while editing. However, outtakes at the end of the videos are always a win!
I do like you music and the fancy camera shots but this was cool too! Chris, I will take what ever you put out = ). Your skills and creativity are amazing in either format!
Personally, I really enjoy hearing the sounds of the shop over music. It's somehow more relaxing. I'll watch either way . I really enjoy watching you create things out of what looks like scrap cut off's. Great Work
I like the added depth to the machining process. It gives more of an understanding of what it takes to manufacture the parts. I think it's a good change.
You should have made the tubes with the bearings in the shorter. The shorter they are the less load on the axel. Yes it puts more load on the bearings, but they can handle it far better. You should look for parts in a junk yard to save some money and time... spindles, breaks, sway bars... Some of those small cars have parts that would work great in a buggy. People used to use VW beetles all the time.
Remember your first builds??? 😃 Man, have you come a long ways!!! I want one of these machines to fart around in the desert in my retirement! Like the one that is so comfortable, can't remember what it's called. I am fascinated by the metal work and the engineering that goes into these builds. I have been a wood worker all of my life. The tools for metal working have become so good - makes me wish I was younger now and I would probably do it. I missed that one.
Always love your content, no matter how you choose to shoot and edit. Just want to say this is really top notch video making. Your love of he craft and attention to detail really shows.
This is such a killer project. Please Mr. Rodger it: take your time to do it right. A way to go to see it running again, but it will be back, better than ever.
I commented something similar on a past video. Possibly consider to using rubber/poly/nylon bushings on critical parts to take out the vibration and slop additionally absorb & deflect impacts to prevent breakage. Love the builds but keep thinking my spine and eardrums would rattle apart driving these things, lol.
Every bar will have some torsion to it, some better than others. Some race spec are made out of Chromoly tubing. Maybe an automotive one from like a Fiesta, Fiat 500, or Smartfortwo would be more apt for this.
@@Ratkill9000 having just been under a smart fortwo I can say that it also has a hollow tube style sway bar. Just had to replace a muffler on it and gave it a general check over as a courtesy inspection for wear items.
I really like all the machining/fabricating footage in this format. I do miss the music, its almost a tradition now - that music has been in your videos for so long.
The change up on the video presentation was kinda refreshing. Not that the background tunes were bad. Either way it’s pleasant to watch your videos. Thanks for sharing and continue with the great videos.
If you put a chain on each wheel suspension to hold up the wheel you don't need a sway bar. You can put the brakes at the front and remove the one at the rear. To make the hubs rust proof you can make them red hot and dip them in old car oil, they become black and never rust,
hey RBW, thanks for producing high quality video, not only on the go kart buying/building side, but actually fabricating everything, to a degree that doesnt make profesional fabricators cringe.
Seeing you build so many things, I always wonder why you haven't build a welding manipulator. With al your projects it would come in handy. Love the new format btw.
Man i love watchin u biuld shit. U just have this way of simplifying things. An your need to perfect stuff is were i relate the most. The world needs more people like u. Love the content as always brother. Just keep doin u. Thats what makes ur channel the beez neez
Was so into watching that I didn't even notice there's no music.Some of your choices are great,so mix it up whenever You want.Never seen a video here that I didn't like,so keep on being You.
Try welding with Flux core wire instead. You won't be able to see what you're doing with all the smoke but at least the mosquitoes won't be bothering you.
hi Chris allsome work 🌟 love the new upgrades to the green beast.👌💕 since Doug called you zip tie master you can now call him rooky rider since he crashed and honda haha 🤣 cool stuff allsome work from cruzermans inventions 😁🎉👌💕
@21:20 you were concerned about the sway bar. As an automotive repair technician I have seen cars on the highway with hollow 1 inch tube sway bars. Granted they are smaller cars, but still 4000 lbs plus. The hollow Razer sway bar will be fine.
Im on the fence about the editing of this video but I do appreciate you constantly trying to improve the quality of your videos. Keep it up and I'll continue watching
LMAO at the part where you edited the bunch of different welds in a series @ 2:00. The sound and quick transitions totally reminded me of the Superfriends WASSSUP video! Well done engineering and video work, as usual.
Excellent as always. Don’t care for the cheap music anyway! Could even squeeze in a 💨 Fart now and then for comic relief!🤣 Gives the audience a break from the intense drama!🔥
I was wondering what you going to do with those levers? I was hoping they weren't going to be for the brakes. but then I noticed that they were shift levers. I have been looking at a kit to add front brakes to my kart. and at just under two hundred dollars on eBay. I'm really temped to get them because it would be impossible for me to build them. without the machining equipment like you have. for me Mosquitoes are a real problem because I'm allergic to them. when I get bit by them it really messes me up. if I get bit enough times I have to go to the emergency room. I really like how you built your spindles. they appear to be strong and adjustable with the hyme joints. (excuse the spelling) you would be surprised about that sway bar it might work. a suggestion, see if you can find out what the weight of the vehicle that it's applicable for. and compare it to the weight of your vehicle. if there's a huge difference it might save you some unnecessary work installing it.
Tubing sway bars are been used in automotive industry for a long time. I've seen it on Chevy trucks. It should be fine if the manufacture used the correct material.
I know you know what you're doing, but 08:50, that use of the grinder with cutting discs which are good at catching, if you're unlucky and the disc grabs. Something to think about.
Refreshing change of style, I don't mind either, though I do ask that you change your music every now and then... As for that "sway bar" just like you, I have my doubts
May I ask you what your settings are for welding the tubing . I am going to modify the grandkids kart. I just need a starting point to weld the tubing. I have never welded tubing before. I do have a wire feed welded , any info would be great.
Pity you oriented the heim joints that way, now all suspension forces and jumps etc are trying to rip the ball out the eye of the joint. If the bolt were horizontal you'd only have steering shocks on the heim joint and the suspension would be against the entire eye of the joint. Otherwise it's a good design. Except perhaps you have the roll center geometry off so the steering will feel heavy. Hope the Ackerman angle is good also. I enjoy your fabrication style. Just would say a bit more time showing how stuff is fabricated rather than shots of welding and tacking would be more enjoyable. And the gear linkages, especially high/low, the shifter arm on the trans is at an excessive angle, should be rotated perpendicular to the orientation of the shifter rod and the rod shortened.
I could watch u for hours You ever thought about making a longer video? You need a heavy duty sway bar you’ll bend that on the first time out I know about sway bars we had a stock car and we’ll you’ll find out do some searching first before you use the piece of tin 😁plus I still think your a great machinist
go to home depot, and get you 3 or 4 flats of merigolds (flowers) and stick them in pots around your shop especially the door and your skeeter problem will be gone. thank me later.
Man oh man did they see you coming. I can't believe you're going to waste your time and energy installing that piece of tubing AKA anti-sway bar LOL wise up dude.
I decided to edit this video a bit differently, no music and no timelapses. let me know what y'all think of the different editing style ?
I've watched your videos through the many different editing types you've done and whatever you like doing, I dont mind it. A combination is fine, whatever isn't going to drive you insane while editing.
However, outtakes at the end of the videos are always a win!
Didn't even notice. Less hassle the better.
I like this way of filming. Didn't care for it being done with a cameraman and his comments.
I do like you music and the fancy camera shots but this was cool too! Chris, I will take what ever you put out = ). Your skills and creativity are amazing in either format!
Brother, you do whatever editing you want. I always look forward to your videos.
Personally, I really enjoy hearing the sounds of the shop over music. It's somehow more relaxing.
I'll watch either way . I really enjoy watching you create things out of what looks like scrap cut off's. Great Work

Like the way you used the wheel n tyre as a stand for welding the hubs. Nice.

Totally love that rig. Sway bar will definitely wake up its handling. Love that cart. Such a Great revival.
Most enjoyable the way you lay the rough parts out and start machining them and it all comes together! ...😎👍21
Always love your content, no matter how you choose to shoot and edit. Just want to say this is really top notch video making. Your love of he craft and attention to detail really shows.
This is such a killer project. Please Mr. Rodger it: take your time to do it right.
A way to go to see it running again, but it will be back, better than ever.
You need to put rubber or nylon bushing on those shifter linkages or they will rattle constantly.
I commented something similar on a past video. Possibly consider to using rubber/poly/nylon bushings on critical parts to take out the vibration and slop additionally absorb & deflect impacts to prevent breakage. Love the builds but keep thinking my spine and eardrums would rattle apart driving these things, lol.
If you can't hear the rattling over the engine it doesn't really matter..
I'd return that "sway bar." You could make something like that for so much less. There's no way it has any torsion resistance.
Every bar will have some torsion to it, some better than others. Some race spec are made out of Chromoly tubing. Maybe an automotive one from like a Fiesta, Fiat 500, or Smartfortwo would be more apt for this.
@@Ratkill9000 having just been under a smart fortwo I can say that it also has a hollow tube style sway bar. Just had to replace a muffler on it and gave it a general check over as a courtesy inspection for wear items.
A lot of full size cars have hollow sway bars. It doesn't take much stiffness to affect sway, especially on something as small as this go cart
Great job on the spindles and hubs. Like the upgrades your doing on your kart.I like the no music and no time lapse, makes for a better video.
Most of the swaybar stiffness is in the outside with the inside just along for the ride. Hollow tube works and saves lots of weight.
I really like all the machining/fabricating footage in this format. I do miss the music, its almost a tradition now - that music has been in your videos for so long.
The change up on the video presentation was kinda refreshing. Not that the background tunes were bad. Either way it’s pleasant to watch your videos. Thanks for sharing and continue with the great videos.
watching that welded wobbly disc get machined was so freaking satisfying man
If you put a chain on each wheel suspension to hold up the wheel you don't need a sway bar. You can put the brakes at the front and remove the one at the rear. To make the hubs rust proof you can make them red hot and dip them in old car oil, they become black and never rust,

Video was great, i really enjoy watching you machine the parts. You have a great talent
Personally, music or not, your content is Great. Love your channel and will always watch. Keep it up!
I LOVE THE EDITING!!!!! Hope this is the new format 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽
Awesome vid mate. Thank god you gave the talking camera man the chop 🙏 🙌
Really dig this guys chill approach. He’s got skills too.

😃 *This is the video I've been waiting for.. It's more fun to watch the process than it ends 👌*
Heck yeah, I look forward to all your videos.
công việc và đôi bàn tay của bạn thật tuyệt vời, tôi đến từ Việt Nam
rather B welding / metal fabricator!
Why didn’t you weld the nuts for the heim joints, I personally think it could relieve a bit of struggle for later on
@21:20 you were concerned about the sway bar. As an automotive repair technician I have seen cars on the highway with hollow 1 inch tube sway bars. Granted they are smaller cars, but still 4000 lbs plus. The hollow Razer sway bar will be fine.
I like this new editing, seams like we're in the shop watching.
Most current automotive front sway bars are hollow, should be fine. Enjoy your content. Northernnomad...
Im on the fence about the editing of this video but I do appreciate you constantly trying to improve the quality of your videos. Keep it up and I'll continue watching
You do very nice work...love your videos
Just a FYI never weld through bearings of any kind. arcing can happen inside the bearing. Brent Az.
You should build a mini tow truck
Sweet hell of a job my friend
A good mix on music and silence would be great
You are getting really god at this! 😁
LMAO at the part where you edited the bunch of different welds in a series @ 2:00. The sound and quick transitions totally reminded me of the Superfriends WASSSUP video! Well done engineering and video work, as usual.
You should get a sway bar at pick-a-part off of a compact car.
Excellent as always. Don’t care for the cheap music anyway! Could even squeeze in a 💨 Fart now and then for comic relief!🤣 Gives the audience a break from the intense drama!🔥
i like the music during the time lapse but that's just me. either way i'll be watching every sunday !
What type of material are made of the new spindle and hubs?
Another great vid dude..i been waiting for a new vid from ya
Nice build! I can’t see how that sway bar will work, can you put one side in the vice and see if it’s springy?
That’s a good idea, I may try and see if I can test it first before installing it.
@@ratherBweldingChris I think someone is sending messages using your name. His name is DM rather b welding. Something about a giveway.
Looks great Chris. 👍😁

Tubing sway bars are been used in automotive industry for a long time. I've seen it on Chevy trucks. It should be fine if the manufacture used the correct material.
You should try a sway bar from the early Suzuki samurai, up to 1988. It will be perfect. If you want the dimensions just ask.
Excellent 👍☮️
I know you know what you're doing, but 08:50, that use of the grinder with cutting discs which are good at catching, if you're unlucky and the disc grabs. Something to think about.
allsome work Chris from cruzermans inventions 😁🎉🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Did you calculate scrub radius while designing the spindle. I noticed the old spindles had it way off to the inside, like cheap lawn karts.
Excelente trabajo 👍 desde Venezuela
Hello, what is the function of the relief cut after the threaded portion , what is the general rule for depth ?
Hay you should billed a dragster something you could take to the strip straight speed lol
Refreshing change of style, I don't mind either, though I do ask that you change your music every now and then...
As for that "sway bar" just like you, I have my doubts
No music. Awesome 👍😎

First 2 minutes is Garage ASMR :D
That sway bar must be spring steel surely.
The bites can be prevented by wearing a welding jacket right?
What car/manufacturer is the gearbox from and which model?
Love the build
Much better without the music. Love the builds
I noticed that you never use a sleeve between the bearings. Doesn't that add extra strain on the races?
It'll be fine if he uses a nylon lock nut and doesn't crank it down tight. A sleeve in between would be better though.
Great work!
You should take a class on how to thread on a lathe it will greatly benefit your builds
Have you ever thought about getting into Freecad for your work and plan development?
I like to edit style. What kind of calipers are you going to use?
Hey bro i have a question I'm building or want to build a live axle for my motorcycle will a 1 inch diameter shaft be strong enough
Man They look dope ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
Definitely keep the music.
Get an UV bug zapper trap. That will attract all the bugs and kill them for you.
wow very cool, keep going
I like the editing of this but I would say to alternate and keep it different
Nice fabrication work man. What happened to the bitchin tunes? I hope you get some close up video of that sway bar flexing in action.
Pity you oriented the heim joints that way, now all suspension forces and jumps etc are trying to rip the ball out the eye of the joint. If the bolt were horizontal you'd only have steering shocks on the heim joint and the suspension would be against the entire eye of the joint. Otherwise it's a good design. Except perhaps you have the roll center geometry off so the steering will feel heavy. Hope the Ackerman angle is good also.

Good ii boss 👍👍😊😊
I have a sway bar off a 92 jeep wrangler.. if you want it...
Return that swaybar! You would make a much better swaybar.
go to home depot, and get you 3 or 4 flats of merigolds (flowers) and stick them in pots around your shop especially the door and your skeeter problem will be gone. thank me later.
Man oh man did they see you coming. I can't believe you're going to waste your time and energy installing that piece of tubing AKA anti-sway bar LOL wise up dude.
why dont you make your own sway bars ?
I like it. Don D I Y style.
Miata sway bar ??
Bro, with your skills you can build a bug zapping ninja...let's see what you come up with...
I wouldn’t be using the file on a lathe like that, one mistake and you’ll lose couple fingers! If you’re lucky!
Get a hold of rocket Ron
