I agree your head loop is below your head. You can see it in your video when you are sitting in the seat. Also, your body will block the air flow when sitting in the car. And if the radiator gets damaged, you will be burned severely. Other than that. It's awesome. Be safe
Scald guard, my friend. At minimum, fab a radiator cap splash shield (C shaped directing scalding coolant towards the rear). Good luck the rest of the way.
You should mount the radiator as low as possible and make a small shroud that you can put duct tubes with vents from the back corners of the windows to the shroud. You'd still get plenty if air flow to the radiator and you'd have the ability to make a firewall behind the seat so if something goes wrong with the radiator you don't get covered in hot coolant.
Absolutely best everyman fab channel on UA-cam. Or anywhere maybe. What a skill set. I love watching these projects progress. Then we get to see the in-use development, troubleshooting and countermeasure development. I’m surprised he doesn’t have 5M subs.
This is quickly becoming one of my favorite channels. He definitely puts his skills to good use, but I think I think he could level up with putting some CAD to work too.
with you moving the radiator inlets/outlets youre basically cutting the radiator in half. water will follow the path of least resistance and having the inlet and outlet that close together basically makes the top half unused. you may even end up with an air pocket up there
Cutting brakes should be on a lever on your right hand...forward to lock your left wheel and back to lock your right. Then your left brake pedal to run all for wheels. Also the rad is big enough you could run it behind the engine between the rear hoop bumper. Especially if you're running fans 👍
Love this build, cant wait to see it run. I would suggest adding two braces off the back of the hoop down to the rear frame and attach the radiator there, that eliminates all your heat concerns being inside and its just as close to the engine for plumbing. you can then place a large fuel tank where the radiator is now as a gravity system without the need for a pump, this also keeps all the weight on the rear for better wheelies.
Ive seen many vintage style baja bugs use a roof scoop for the oil cooler. Your cage hoop resembles that. Ive also seen vintage vw's with side scoops on the rear windows. Adding won't look entirely out of place. As for the radiator, i don't think you'll have cab heat issues as long as you are moving or the fan is on. Mabye install a manual fan overide switch for those few times you feel it whole sitting
You sir are the best of the best at engineering and fabrication that i have ever seen and i myself am a fabricator and welder doing this for many years, but i couldn't carry your welding helmet fantastic job
Did you all see. Where that lower house mount is ? On top of the expansion chamber. The water going in that motor going to stay hot !! Plus the hose melting 🤣
It takes me longer then expected to build/fix things also. I just say "well I had to make improvements to it because I only wanna build it once!" Looks like quality work, you take pride in you work. Keep it up 👍
Dude. Stop putting down the look. This thing is tight. I love this build. Sickest yet I think. Your attention to detail is impressive. Every build you up your game, with the machining, et all!!
If you haven't figured out a fuel tank yet, it seems like there's decent space behind seat on the floor, and it would be easy to plumb in rotopax tanks on the side if you needed more capacity. Personally, I would just use premix fuel so theres no guessing if the oiling system is working, and it's one less thing to find space for. I love the way this is turning out and keep up the awesome work!
Things to ponder. CV cooling, they get hot and need lots of air movement. Oil tank behind seat on floor. Fuel tanks could be made by making the tree bars into tanks. And with some paddle tires this thing is going to be legit with 95 hp. Good job.
On the side fiberglass window openings, create fiberglass air scoops to capture from outside the air flow into the radiator with tin/aluminum interior mounted panels to aid in the air scooping. Then create a heat shield say half the width of the seat may have a slight V shape on the center.. crazy idea black and yellow safety (orange stripe) striping effect on the converter top cover maybe match concept to exhaust cover shielding.. can't wait to see it driven........
Nice work, your fab skills and processes to get to the end product is truly inspiring. Its not ugly at all. On the radiator, you could rotate it 90 degrees, and mount it higher up the roll bar hoop, so it can actually catch air, and not be too blocked by your shoulders. I think you might have some problems where it is, but that said, if you run the electric fan on it all the time, then it might be totally fine - just right by your ears so not much fun.
I would build a louvers as part of back window and duct it into radiator. This would add some style into your build. And scoop air from anywhere you can. Also build a tire replica as fuel tank and mount it over the engine as your fuel supply. It would look like you are carrying a spare like some of the pre runners/ buggy racers.
You are an absolute master fabricator. I've been watching you for years now and seen how you've grown in skill and this build certainly shows that. I thought maybe ducting for the Rad, just before you said it.. I reckon thats a grear option even though the fabrication is difficult and extensive, otherwise your back is going to cook from the heat. Anyway, I'm sure you'll find a way, you're innovation skills are just excellent
When you started this, I remember thinking the engine was really too physically large and that would cause you to have to make a lot of compromises. That has turned out to be true, but I have to say, you have done a great job so far with those compromises. This should be a very unique vehicle when all said and done.
Idea, make a moulded side intake shroud through the side windows which would not affect removal of the body, combined with dual electric fans, the intake can also work as a shield for your back & neck, in the event of overflowing hot water 👍 good luck
Throttle should be set up for your trigger finger in my opinion. So when braking you won't accidentally hit the throttle. Your engineering so far is awsome!
build a scoop with induction above your head for the radiator. Then you can shroud the entire front for shielding. Also a gas tank behind the seat should put you near the 2.5 to 3 gallon range. And also help a little with weight distribution putting it in front of the rear axle.
air doesn't get 'funnelled' so much as areas of higher pressure air fill areas of lower pressure air. so long as the pressure differential across the radiator exists and a pressure differential between the front of the radiator and the surrounding air exists then the flow will happen. The issue of 'wasting' the energy of the moving air is moot when using fans, the fans add that flow energy requirement. you actually have a bigger issue at play with the hot side of the radiator being able to flow to the cold side of the radiator, the 'constrained' airflow with the duct and heat shield would likely work out better than the open design...
Pusher fan instead of a puller, so you could distance the radiator farther away from you. At least another 2” or so. Multiple gas tanks. Used like a reserve tank, with back up fuel pump if need be. Or just to push fuel from one tank to another. I think the cat cover looks awesome. Love your channel! It is my favorite!
i love those steering wheel controls. the only plate i would consider making removable is the one strait out from the CVT, or make a hole to access the Main CVT bolt.
Put the tanks besides the chair. If you want a larger fuel supply; put twin tanks, one on each side beside the seat. The oil tank can be mounted to the rear frame near the engine.
I think the cover looks good. Paint match it, slap some stickers on it.... maybe black the top and follow the body line on the bottom... I'm sure it'll look cool no matter what
put some small scoops for air flow behind the roll cage in corner of window then heat shield the cockpit .. would look clean..also make sure the fan sucks and doesn't blow .. builds looking awesome👌👌
Just an idea but these Baja Bugs have things bolted to them. So with this in mind why don’t you make a triangle oil tank and mount it to the back of the new CVT cover? With regards to the fuel tank what about making it wrap around the seat, you could have the sides of the tank down each side of the seat and a smaller wedge shape part across the back. Would be quite large, keep the weight towards the rear and keep the weight low down. Also a lot of these bugs have an air scoop on the back, you could fit one to your hoop and use that to channel air into the radiator.
What you could do with your CVT guard is make some holes and fill them some hydrophobic mesh. It would cool down the belt, make it lighter and look better.
I think you should do a little more with your head loop. Your still gonna have your head hitting the ground if it rolls with the way the car will be angled upside down. You should do more of a drag racing driver loop and have it extend past your head and shoulders
At some point you have to grow a pair and accept the risks. Just like a 200hp street bike, that thing will never be safe to drive if you don't have a brain.
@@MrArcticPOWER man im all for ripping, been doing it all my life. but, its a little different on a street bike when you can get away from the machine in a crash. all the other similar builds like this on YT are built to get flug out of the machine. ex: sendy and the barbie jeep. hes gonna be enclosed inside. being smart fixes alot but shit happen.
Great job on packing so much into a tiny little frame Chris. You've made an incredible machine there! Once again, I am in awe of your fabrication skills. I can't wait for your next video!
Consider what would happen in an overheating event. Sitting basically on the radiator isn’t going to be fun. A heat shield/firewall and some air ducting is a really good idea. Not only for your safety, but for cooling too. Have you thought about adding a light bar anywhere? You could use it to assist in rollover protection if you line it up with the roll hoop.
Take the radiator and make a air dam that goes behind you and your seat upper and make it have a pul down draft. And make sure a very good fan and you can make air ducts from the sides of your seat also. But use some good thermal insulation to protect your back
I think the solution to the heat problem is to make this electric. plus how are you gonna drive in the summer when it's super hot out and the engine is hot? you're gonna get heat stroke yo, don't wanna loose ya love your content
You need to figure something to cool down the cvt box. ATVs have fan fin in the back off the primary and an intake and exaust pipe. Even snowmobile have belt heat issues
Wow your an awesome metal fabricator I'm double your age and your skill is way above me love your CAD assisted design' be proud and polish that cover it's awesome (:OO
It,s almost as if nobody expected a 100hp engine to be put into that body 😉 . It was always going to be a compromise and you,re killing it 👍. Thanks for sharing.
😮 buddy it looks awesome 💯😎. Stand back. In hale . Relook.😊. It's 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 awesome. Great job containing everything. It's a shoe 🏠 house. With the goods . Can't wait till you rip it up good in that beast
Yeah it’s taking a long time but you’re literally making every single piece .. most ppl wouldn’t have made their own petals n shit.. this is awesome just keep doing your thing man
I can't wait to see this thing run!!!!! U should try if there's enough room to mount the fan behind your head and make it push air through to the motor side. Again can't wait to see this thing run. It reminds me of my old rail buggy. Keep up the good work!!!!
It has to be so much fun just taking tubes and other metal and just making stuff and welding it together. Got an idea for a sick mini rock crawler? Boom! Build it! Want a gokart that looks like a mini F1 car? Why not just build it!?!?. Your skills are amazing. And I can't wait to see more. I might have found you a little late. But I'm 100% here to stay! Been slowly watching the older videos and I like them, and the new videos all the same!. Wish I could have been around to spit out random ideas for things, or at lease comment and pretend like it might help the final product LOL. I know you said a while ago that you are basically multiple videos ahead of what we get to see on youtube, so actually saying "oh what if this goes over here" might not work out so good. xD
You might want to add a spare drive belt mount that holds a belt in a position where you can just slip it on. With all the welded shielding and tight spaces getting a new belt in there will be nearly impossible in the field.
Hi. Nice bubble👍 Please build a roof rack on top of the car. If you make it out of a slightly thinner tube it looks good and acts as a roll cage so you don't lose your head while losing your helmet...
@dougdority5589 said to "Mount the radiator Porsche 930 whale tail style" and I totally agree with that and make a really cool guard with CNC cut design in it to protect it from damage. Also you can make a fuel tank that wraps around the bottom of the seat and along the sides [kinda like a horse shoe]
Air scoops in the side windows with an electric fan on the rear pulling air through the rad seems great idea.

You could go with 2 gas tanks as steps on the sides between the wheels. Fill that void and deflect some of the sand spray from your front wheels.
I totally agree, it would be easy enough to connect 2 gas tanks together and they could fit into much tighter spaces.
Scald guard, my friend. At minimum, fab a radiator cap splash shield (C shaped directing scalding coolant towards the rear). Good luck the rest of the way.
it not look ugly, it look mechanical! love it!
You should mount the radiator as low as possible and make a small shroud that you can put duct tubes with vents from the back corners of the windows to the shroud. You'd still get plenty if air flow to the radiator and you'd have the ability to make a firewall behind the seat so if something goes wrong with the radiator you don't get covered in hot coolant.
I'm so excited for this mini Baja! Definitely my favorite project so far!
As a fellow custom metal fabricator. All i can say it is 1 of 1 and dam awesome, never sell your creativity short.

Same
Yep, they're at the top and bottom for a reason
@Theshed12 originally they were both at the top......
@@1one3_Racing one is half way up.
i agree with painting the CVT cover black is the correct way to deal with it
I know you keep saying WE are making progress. But we all know YOU are the man and we are just love watching you dream this thing into life.
Cutting brakes should be on a lever on your right hand...forward to lock your left wheel and back to lock your right. Then your left brake pedal to run all for wheels. Also the rad is big enough you could run it behind the engine between the rear hoop bumper. Especially if you're running fans 👍

Looking good! Consider building framing around the rear to make it a “fastback”. It’ll smooth your profile and give you room for accesories.
This and Grind Hard Plumbing are my favorite channels.

Very nice fabrication skills on display yet again with that cvt cover, good job sir you're a very skilled man 🫡
Heat shield and ducting idea is good!
AWESOME MATE ! Hey maybe paint the CVT cover and other panels in bed liner to stop VIBRATION SOUNDS ! 👍
Sooooooo. Every time he’s talking 🤣
Give those clutches some air vents. Its going to get super hot in there

I’d like to see a a UA-camr like you do some custom fiberglass work. Make your own custom fit panels
Mount the radiator Porsche 930 whale tail style.
Yeah some kind of halo for led lights, and roll safety would look authentic
you should definitely add a heat shield/fire wall between your body and the radiator. ducting through the windows would work well enough probably
I’ve only just started watching this channel from the electric 6speed build but definitely a great fabricator I will keep watching 😁
Can't wait to see this sweet ride running. Sending love and blessings. Awesome work!!!!

A rear spoiler with the radiator built in would definitely uniform the rear on the vehicle
For the fuel tank I still would suggest one that clings around the base of the seat, shaped like the boxes that go on top on a ATV...
😉👍👍👍

I feel like ducting seems like the move for the radiator. Great Job! Straight killin it like always!
I'm with everybody else. You can put 10 lb of potatoes in a 5 lb bag, it just takes a little time and thinking. Great job! Chris
You can also make multiple gas tanks and connect them together to increase the capacity. Wouldnt even need 2 fill caps if you do it right
You should make a shroud that goes fron the top of the head loop and down to the radiator. Like leave the loop open in the front like a big air scoop
This is a good looking buggy
Hi. Nice bubble👍
Please build a roof rack on top of the car. If you make it out of a slightly thinner tube it looks good and acts as a roll cage so you don't lose your head while losing your helmet...
This is awesome! I like how the differential steering is set up. I want to buy an arc droid now lol
A lot of progress in this one, nice!
Found these fibreglass bodies for sale online and this just make me want to build one for my kid 😂

That engine is way more than enough for that chassis. i like it 👍
Make a red gas can that looks like a regular portable refueler but it's your main gas container! 💯
