4WD Mini Rock Bouncer Build Suzuki SV 650 Part 4
Вставка
- Опубліковано 14 жов 2024
- Today I'm starting a new build a 4WD mini rock bouncer using a Suzuki sv650 for the powerplant. This Suzuki sv650 v twin makes about 75hp and should be perfect for this mini rock bouncer! In the first part I'm fabricating hub adapters for the wheels and looking at the general layout. I'm also starting on the front suspension layout and spindles and ball joints. If you have any suggestions for this build let me know in the comments below!

500k Subscribers!!! We finally did it!! Thank you to everyone who has subscribed and helped build this channel to what it is today. thank you!!
you deserve it man 🙌
You work hard buddy and you really deserve it!! I think maybe people on here talk junk like they would a buddy !! Also it’s hard to hear a criticism!! I know it’s hard for me !!! but it’s because you do the best you can on your projects!! And a lot of times these people take what they know for granted!! They will say why don’t you do it this way!! I think maybe they been building stuff their whole life !! And are a lot older!! They don’t understand you would if you knew! I like that you are your biggest critic !! that’s how you get quality work that lasts!! What you gotta remember is 90% of the people who watch have your back. and love you like they love family!! Because we see into your life like family!! Hope you have 500k more by the end of your year. I been watching every week since you was a kid !!! I know your dad is super proud!!!
U finally did it. Great job and great channel.
Keep it simple… call it “The Rocker” then it can be a rock bouncer or a rock crawler!! Great job on the channel!
Good for you, bud…. Been with ya for about 10 years?!?!
Congratulations on passing 500K.Calling it a 'Rock Machine" fits for all.
It really looks awesome wether it’s a rock bouncer or crawler it’s still cool
Chris I hope you're watching ^this guy's channel. I think you'd like his fab techniques
It's never too late to change the name of your own project. I'm liking the way it's looking so far, looking forward to seeing the finished product.
Sometime, when you need an extra pair of hands, invite the "angry neighbor" over to give you a hand. Might go from an angry neighbor to a friend. Congrats on hitting 500K. I just passed 100, so I have a long way to go.
I love that you keep pushing for progression that is based off your projection of perfection.
Every video gets better and better.
I wouldn't get too hung up on it not being a "proper rock bouncer" ....
It looks cool. It should perform once you get the inevitable bugs worked out of it... And there will be many.
Just build it... Then go crawl it over your neighbor's house.... (Kidding, obviously)
We should all chip in and buy that guy an anger management course.
Dont be over-critical of your own methods. If you know they work it doesnt matter what anyone else thinks/ or would do. From one hobbiest fabricator to another: YOURE DOING GREAT BROTHER👍
Thats perfect for your CVT belt i work on RZRs everyday and you dont wont it to spin the driven pully when you turn the drive pully
This is very helpful i hope he sees it
The primary pulley has a 1 way bearing, it wouldn't matter how tight the belt is. The belt only moves the secondary once the primary starts closing. The belt grips on the sides, not the bottom.
@@Beardest_Fishing if the belt is tight enough the side of the belt will grab the sides of the drive pulley ive seen RZRs take off as soon as there pit in gear cause the belts smaller ..... idiots i know tryed putting an 800 belt on a 1000
@@dustinmiller7278 If it can be done, some idiot somewhere has tried it. If you get the wrong width belt it will be near impossible to shift in to gear with the machine running, another sign the 1 way bearing has gone bad also.
@@Beardest_Fishing in all honesty I think that's exactly what happened if I'm not mistaken the 800cc razors belt is 1/8 of inch wider than the 1,000 but don't hold me to that because I'm not exactly sure I just buy the part that the part number calls for install it and have never had any real issues
Congrats on the 500k accomplishment !!!! How could anyone not enjoy your content !!!!
Your are very smart and you build things from scratch and that just blows my mind...
Hey i love you're work and always turns out good give you're self so credit there is 500,000 of us that watch you thank you brother
Congrats on 500k Subs! I think it doesn't matter what you call the build. Maybe call it Myrtle. Or Steve. I enjoy seeing what you go through to get things built the way you want and to make things work. Sometimes I don't think what you're doing is going to work but I am not a builder or fabricator. Have fun building then have loads of fun driving your creations. Thank you for letting us tag along on your project.
Hey Chris, love the builds brother! But before you go any further, test run that combination. The lower gears, if most in the tranny aren't going to give you enough rpms to get full range out of the primary. Please check it out before going too far...Love your enthusiasm and your channel!
I approve 100%
As a rock CRAWLER you don’t need all 14” of shock travel to be in compression. Many rock crawlers allow for more suspension droop than compression.
My Toyota has about 70/30 70% droop 30% compression
My RC Rock crawler has 65/35/65% It can also climb up and over my daughters Barbie Clubhouse like it's not even there. It has also put me on the couch before when I tried to crawl over my wife curves and mountains when she was sleeping.
@@FarmerFpv that last thing is something I'd do
So preload allows drop is that correct?
I split the compression and droop of the suspension of my Jeep ZJ right in the middle. My shocks have 9in of travel and ride height is right at 4.5in. And it does great in the rocks.
Dont be so hard on yourself you are young and very talented and what l have seen so far , the skys the limit nice work.
Rock crawler! Call it whatever you want! Its your build, and no matter what it will rock!
Your project you can call it what you like. Very talented I'm amazed at all your skills. I cut 3 times and it's still short.
I think you should call it the Rock croucher! Because it looks like it’s about to pounce!! Nice work!!!
You got skills, I never seen rock anything but the way you fit this together is amazing to watch.
Looking good, call it whatever you want want, it's your project. I think you should make the engine pivot on mounts that you have already made to tension the chain. Also I don't think you should have compromised the four link bars (by bending them) to gain a lower center of gravity. You'll figure it out, you always do. Love watching your videos, stop worrying so much about what others think, your a professional UA-cam fabricator!!!
The way you stick a few pieces together then tear them apart to go a different direction reminds me of how me and my friends used to build things back when we were young kids. Its great to see that type of creativity being used again and im really looking forward to seeing this project move forward.
I wouldnt get so hung up in the name right now as I dont think it will matter until you finish seeing what your building. Heck call it a Tonka Moon Rover if you want just build it.
Call it w.e you want man it's yours. Great build man
You are in full creative control. Own it.
Call it what you want , I changed my wife’s name . One of your best builds so far , IMO.
Hay , its yours , call it what ever you like , rock bouncers are more agrescive then rock crawlers , but both are a lot of fun .
It is what you say it is. You’re the builder and driver. Nuff said!
Chris... we've never seen a 'belt' powered crawler for a reason.... it will slip as soon as it gets hot, and it will get hot as soon as you start crawling.
I would not judge you in the slightest if you switched to 'chain' drive to eliminate the slippage, wear and issues you will encounter attempting to tune that 'belt' driveline. AND... you will have the room to actually 'fit' into the thing. If not, I'm sure you will impress us with that unique 'out of the box' thinking you do so well. Always impressed here bud.
Cheers for the years of great content.
Happy 500K
Kurcze , pomysł żeby niezależne zawieszenie obudować w ramę i zrobić z tego "most" jest super. Mogłeś lekko wyprofilować ramę zawieszenia dając wyżej mechanizm różnicowy co zwiększyło by prześwit. Kawał dobrej roboty, super się ogląda taką pracę :)
Try 10.5 inches, center of primary shaft to the center of the secondary shaft, for your belt tension. That's what the clutch alignment tool measures.
I was going to say the same.
What they said 👆
16 minutes in and I am so pumped to see the completed frame. You look so relaxed sitting on top of everything lol
Need to look for a transmission alignment tool to set the belt tension and get proper alignment of the primary/secondary pulleys. Lots of people sell them and they help to keep everything lined up right so you dont trash belts! Have to use them when the transmissions are removed from rzrs to get everything set back up correctly.
Your build, you're in charge. Looking great!
When you had so many questions regarding the chassis seating, I would have considered notching in a dirt bike frame from a rider's position and build an interesting cage from that. Awesome Work!
Thank you Chris for having the patience like all the rest of us that love watching your show. We all wish we could do it 100%. They can't hate on us if we're chipping away towards that goal, right? 😁 Keep keeping it my man. We enjoy your spirit in Tri-Cities WA. Yee yee 🤙🏼
i dont care what your building or going to do with it once built i just like seeing the builds screw anyone who says otherwise.
I dig the first bit of soundtrack 👌 sounds like some Pantera cover ... I like it
I look at this and all I can see is a bigger version of an Axial Ryft 1/10 scale bouncer starting to take shape. I dig it 👌🏽
I think you are doing a great job so far. You can make the primary clutch engage quicker with heavier weights and a lighter spring. There are a lot of combinations you can do with drive clutch and the driven clutch. Just takes time and experimenting.
Try to make peace with your neighbor, be the bigger person. Congrats on 500k!!!
That thing is coming right along looking sweet
That will feel better when it quit's hurting .. Good work ..
If you mount your jackshaft on curved, slotted holes, you could move the jackshaft in an orbit around the secondary pulley, and still tension the chain going to the engine
all he needs is vertical slots and he would tension both at the same time.
@@calholli Chains and belts stretch at very different rates. Tensioning both at the same time isn't necessarily desirable
I like this idea. However, the jackshaft is supported by two bearing carriers with three bolts each. Unless you mounted the carriers to an adjustable set of plates. Meaning a plate mounted to the frame with slotted holes, and a plate that mounts the carriers. As you stated, make the slots so you are at a constant distance from the driver pulley, but would be able to adjust the distance from the driver sprocket on the engine. The mounting plates would have to be robust to take the torque from the engine and drive the CVT without deflecting under heavy loads.
It’s ur project call it what you want looks awesome
I don't see this being a very well thought out project but it is very entertaining to watch you trip over your thoughts trying to figure out all this out.... Really biggest mistake was trying to use the CVT
Honestly don't know what he was thinking using a CVT on a motorcycle engine it's not going to accelerate that fast unless he has some really light weight in the clutches
@@ToastyProductions. Don't need it to accelerate fast, it's a Rock "Crawler" not a Rock Racer lol...
@@lennym1273 BOOM! and that's the point, it's a crawler not a dragster 👍
@@lennym1273 it's a rock bouncer buddy have you ever watched rock bouncers there all about acceleration aswell as slow crawls you calling it a rock crawler is silly
I knew you could pull it of. That thing is COOL. If youre looking to selling it it shouldn' t be any problem.
Congrats on the 500k, don't be so hard on your neighbor. BTW that Grom might be street legal, put that exhaust looks and sounds aftermarket.
Hey man , keep a bottle of yellow mustard on hand . If you burn yourself spread mustard on . Keep it on for 20-25 minutes and wash it off . It won't blister .
Never to late, if you wanna call its something else go for it !
Looking good. Call it what you like, you built it!
Ahhh man! I've done the same thing to my finger before. Still have the scar. Went in all the way to the bone and coderized it on the way through my flesh. One of the worst pains I've ever felt. I'm a man in my mid 30s and I'm not ashamed to say that it made me cry. I feel your pain.
Slapped a grinder through a glove took about an inch worth of skin nearly all the way. Left a biggie. In time it kinda blends in, and it's a PITA of a burn pain. But what's worse is when it heals, but the new skin is raw, so if you wash your hands with hot water, it hurts, if it's cold water... it hurts, if you mildly scrape your wound, it hurts, and it itches all the damned time. :))
I put a knife into my finger right up against the bone a few weeks ago. That hurt like a bugger, too.
@@aserta oh man. I got myself with a cutting wheel one time. Right on top of my hand. It was my fault. I was just trying to save some time and cut something out of position. Well it resulted in a wound that bled more than any other wound I've ever had and then got nine stitches.
I'm guessing about eight months ago, I stuffed an exacto knife though my right hand and I thought I was going bleed to death. I ran to the bathroom and got it cleaned up and bandaged, and went back out into the front room and held my hand obove my head. but within a few minutes the bandage was sopped with blood, and I had to run back to the bathroom and clean and bandage it again, so I went back out the front room and held my hand above my head again. and I'll be God dammed if the bandage was sopped with blood again. well after about four times of doing this stupid bullshit, I came to decision to go to the emergency room. and as I was getting ready to go it got to where the heavy bleeding stopped. after getting it cleaned and bandaged for the last time at least so often. I finally had chance to take stock of what had happened the last couple hours. and my place looked like something right out of a horror movie or that of a murder scene. what a fucking mess? it took quite a while to clean that mess up. I have been injured plenty of times before but never experienced such heavy bleeding, I'm not sure what was different about this particular time. anyway it took quite a while for it to heal up but it finally did, and I think I must have severed a nerve in my hand. because now my little finger is a little wonky, that sucks but that's the way it goes no doubt.
Cauterized* Thats exactly why the office jockeys dont wander out to where real work is being done. Lots of paper pushers are starting to meander into the field of fabrication, seems as though injuries are the result. Seen a few city kids come out to the farm and by days end (if that) they are crying about some easily avoidable accident or boo boo. Perhaps some are better off holding down office chairs and playing on the computer while they should be working. BTW if you "slapped a grinder through a glove" then you have business anywhere near mechanized rotating objects. Any workman worth his salt will tell you to NEVER wear gloves in any instance where they can be grabbed and pulled into anything spinning.
congrats on 500k subscribers!!! you deserve it!! keep up the amazing work :)
I think it may be time to consider moving your shop. I think you'll need a considerably larger sprocket on your engines output, in order for the CVT to function, across every gear.
Why move? Where ever he goes, he's gonna be dealing with some form of Karens or Kevins.... He does live in America after all and a large portion of our populace seem to have a giant stick up their asses. Surprised he didnt have a Trump sign by his drive way..
I have no idea how much he has saved up let alone how much he makes off of these videos. His patreon doesn't bring in more than $100 or so per month. He'll need about 10-15 acres to do this properly. In this market, I'd wait. You'd pay way more than what it's worth.
I don't see how the CVT will function as intended. If the CVT engages at 2k RPMs, the transmission output will need to reach that before it engages (assuming a 1:1 ration between the two). Based on the wiki page for the SV650, the primary gear reduction is 2.088:1, and the 1st gear reduction is 2.461:1. For the bike transmission output to reach 2k RPMs, the engine will be at over 10.25k RPMs.
@@mrfinder18 What does Trump have to do with the angry guy.
@@sixgun2719 Nothing, dudes just a beta male.
i've never seen a CVT coupled to a normal trans and i'm interested to see what the results will be, this is turning into quite the sweet setup, and i'm sure everything will work out the way you want them too, i'm loving this series so far brother, and i'm glad to see you aren't afread to "break the mould" so to speak and try new ways of thinking outside of the box, keep being awesome and i cant wait to see this ripping around, should be quite the formidable machine once everything is put together, also Grats on 500K subs, also as far as the drive pulley you can get a kit to setup adjustable variator weights like RBG did and you should get full gear use out of it
You said it all brother from the build to the 500k! Mad Love from New Hampshire USA!
I'd imagine itll be pretty impossible to stall the motor with that setup
The gears below 1:1 gear ratio will be useless. The cvt normally runs right on the crank giving a 1:1 ration. But my guess the higher gears above 1:1 ratio might give it a higher top speed.
Mini Crawler or Mini Blazer or Mini Challenger. The end was awesome
Man it is cool, whatever you call it! I think the shift and cut together is going to be interesting.
Hey, if the CVT system doesn't work out for you, you'll have more room for your legs in the cabin without it! Either way, i'm also definitely interested to see if it works. Keep it up, man!
Option for more room inside, stack the CVT shaft directly on top of the gearbox and move the gearbox forward, the chain will still work at that angle. Would leave a nice hole for your feet to fit.
Maybe the jack shaft could move up and down to tension the chain or in an arc around the driven part of the cvt to keep the belt tension the same. Keep up the good work man, I'm loving all of your projects
Thank you for acknowledging it’s actually a rock crawler! I thought I was going crazy 😜
Go for the side profile of a Dodge Viper. That’s the best way I know to describe it. A lot of bouncers have that profile. Long sleek hood section. With a cage just big enough for the driver.
My first thought was it looking like a Corvette
Need hydraulic steering on it to make it easier to steer rock crawling. You also need to check the articulation make sure it doesn’t hit the motor or anything else and make sure your slip yoke’s in the axles have a Enough slip.
Bounce crawler? Call it whatever you want, man. Never too late to change
Please build a vented cage around your transmission section because you don't realize how much we enjoy your videos and doing them with one leg would just suck
Your leg will be fine over some 1/4" plate. That'll offset any battery, or pumps/tanks weight on the other side too. Can't wait to see that baby balance. And Grats on the 500K!
Call it a rockcrawler Chris. 👍😁
i would add a snatch block to your winching kit, after using one you'll always use it because it cuts the load in half :D
congrats on the 500k . well deserved
Just call it ( THE CRAWLER ). Love the Direction this is going. ✌🏻
I also wanted to see a cvt system capable of shifting somehow so you are after my heart on this project hahaha
Congrats on 500 K! I think rock crawler is cool, to be honest with you I’ve never heard of a rock bouncer until you started these videos LOL
thank you...hopefully it's useful for me...greetings from Indonesia
CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR 500K SUBSCRIBERS, YOU MADE IT TO ANOTHER MILESTONE. GREAT JOB BRO 💯🔥💪🏼👍👍🙏🙏
I think the roll cage looks better after you moved it around like you did looking awesome
I enjoy your thought process. Keep up the good work!
Looks great. Don’t worry bout feet position because once that cvt set up gets tossed you’ll have plenty of leg room
Love watching your work. Mad skills.
Rock Bouncer +Rock Crawler = Rock Brawler
Cool build! Yeah I'm glad I don't have problems with my neighbors like that.... But then again... I don't do WOT passes on my own street lol
Wait all week for your build content!
I'm glad i live in the middle of nowhere with no close neighbors. I can shoot in my backyard if i want to. I'm not anti social at all but i like my personal space too.
Love this would love to see a safer seat go in and 4 point harness keep this build with safety in mind it's gonna be drove hard
Rock crawler rock bouncer both cool as hell
Man it's your project you call it whatever you want and as far as I'm concerned as a fan of yours I'll be happy with it. Not sure what everybody else will think but who gives a shit. You just keep doing you and I'll keep watching
Congrats on 500k, its a sign that your on the right track. The Chris-crawler is looking good. :) I think the transmission should be 2.5 - 3 inches lower as the drivelines look level at full droop. Anyway, can't wait for the test drives. Cheers.
I love your mini bikes they're like 100 mph
i love your response to the neighbor 😆👍
I think you should just call it a rock bouncer like you have been and use it as whatever you end up using it as! It looks INCREDIBLE!! I would really love to see the rear axle possibly have steering haha. I know why you haven't done it yet and it's a pretty low priority with everything else on the build that needs to be done. But maybe once you finish everything else! Then I feel like it would be more "Rock bouncer" I guess. I am not an aficionado but to me, rock bouncers had rear steering, far forward front axles, and dope-looking frames! As far as I'm concerned you are two for three! lol.
I think it looks better than the average rock bouncer. It's bad*** IMO. The way it performs is what's important. You built this thing on your own for the first time which is unreal, not many people can just do that on their own. You should be proud AF no matter the outcome.
19:05 that feeling you get when you save yourself from getting hurt from somthing really stupid:
I agree that CVT has you mesmerized, and is the black hole of this project. Remove from the equation. Let the build continue. Respectfully observed distanced from blood, sweat and grief of time and undertakings.
It`s your project you can change the title. I think it`s going to be a badass rock crawler
The shims u put into the rear clutch between the 2 sheaves is what we use to tension the belt and also to help alignment
Put a power drill to the end of the shift that drives the clutch and spin it with speed to make sure the clutch grabs is a good way to tell if its tight or not. That way it won't be slipping when your done and burning up the drive belt. That'll give you a great way of seeing if its snug enough or not.
Name it whatever you want to, it's your build.
Super skilled man. Such great wrk.
You should invite all the go cart channels to come over and really piss the neighbor off. When he trespasses to complain, jump him and fix the problem. After you are done, call the cops on him for trespass. Then, get a restraining order on him and he will be forced to find a new place to live. That fixes the problem nicely.
Thanks for this, been having withdrawal symptoms waiting for this
It's a "Rock Stomper"! It beats the hell out of rocks. "The Angry Neighbor Rock Stomper". 🤘😎🤘
You ride a bike, motorcycle, horse, a good woman you don't drive them.... Well one of them you can drive. Keep up the great videos.
Thank you Chris for clarifying the CVT issue... Maybe most of us should watch all the way through before throwing in our laughably "two cents" without realizing your experimentation. If you decide to ditch the CVT, take a look at Rekluse and Hinson clutches. You might be quite curious as to what they are offering. Would be exceptional addition to the Grave Ninja. Keep it up brother in fab and high five on 500K!!!
