    For the top speed:
    hayabusa gear ratios:
    - first gear: 2.615:1
    - sixth gear: 1.043:1
    overall gear ratios with Low, medium and high:
    - first low: 44.455:1
    - sixth low: 17.731:1
    - sixth medium: 9.9:1
    - sixth high: 6.26:1
    looking at the dyno of a gen1 hayabusa engine we take the max hp rpm for calculating the max speeds -->9500 rpm (1/min)
    speed = number of revolutions(1/h) * Wheel circumference (km) / final ratio
    number of revolutions = 9500 1/min = 570000 1/h
    wheel circumference = 255.35 cm = 0.00255 km
    Low range, first gear @ 9500 rpm = 32,7km/h = 20.3 miles/h
    Low range, sixth gear @ 9500 rpm = 82 km/h = 51 miles/h
    Medium range, sixth gear @ 9500 rpm = 146.7 km/h = 91.1 miles/h
    High range, sixth gear @ 9500 rpm = 232.3 km/h = 144.3 miles/h
    you probably cant drive that fast because the engine wont have the power to reach 9500rpm in high 6th gear, but thats the theoretical speed.
    You can use the formula to check and calculate other speeds at other engine rpms and compare it to real life
    Please feel free to correct anything I might have done wrong.

      so change gearing to double the ratio should be a thing to focus on crawling.
      115 km/h or 70 mph highspeed should be more than enough for that kind of vehicle.

    For your coolant if you do not bleed all the air out of it, it will not cool properly. Try that before relocating the radiator, its the same thing with cars. you might need a coolant bleeder tool that hooks up to your air compressor to bleed the coolant.

    I just wanted to say that if you stick with the current cooling system and add an electric pump for more flow, you will get far better cooling than the rear mount radiator. Mainly because of the piping running to the front acting as a radiator also. You might actually run into a problem of too much cooling once it flows properly. Awesome build.

    You could probably fab something like what we use in kart racing to keep the sprockets and chains protected from running over curbs on track. Just a guard that is slightly larger in diameter than the sprocket with the chain on it that fits on both sides of the sprocket. Helps keep the chain on as guide but also protects the sprocket itself from being bent or damaged.

    Something you may want to do with the radiator/fan is provide an overrun so that the fan remains on for a minute or two after the engine is turned off. A lot of vehicles have this now as the engine/coolant continues to heat after the engine is off for a short while. Another cool & innovative build 👍

      The only ones I have seen are 1. in an over-temp condition the fans will run after IGN shut-off (if over a specified engine temp) and 2. Turbo cars for turbo cooldown. That's it.

    • @garyphillips7993
      @garyphillips7993 Рік тому

      @@steveww07 Yep, that's exactly what they're for. To cool down an over temp situation. It's a simple temp sensor that turns the fan on/off when required. It causes the fan to stay on after the ignition is turned off until the system cools down. I understand, I could be wrong, it was developed to help prevent block cracks in alloy engines. Plus, it'd be one less thing to be mindful of when off roading - turning the fan on lol It's just a suggestion, not a point of contention.

      The low temperature on coolant into the engine verifies the radiator and pump is working right? Unless there's an air pocket in the pump and it's not pumping coolant at all.
      Testing the air temperature coming off the radiator would varify if heat is being extracted from the engine.

    As for the exhaust system, I worked in a muffler shop. and ultimately you will want the exhaust system to be free flowing. with as few sharp bends in the system as possible. but if you're wanting low end grunt and more torque. you will want to have a small amount of back pressure in the system. some people think that a straight pipe is better but they are incorrect. and something else might want to be aware of. is that in some States they require a spark arrestor when you are on the trails.

    Don’t move the radiator just add a pump for coolant fluid flow because if you move it to the back all your weight will be in the back which could cause it to flip back on steep hills you need to get a vehicle scale so you can see were your weight is at. On a 4x4 you want it even unlike a race car where you want most of the weight in the front to keep the cars nose down. You’ve gone this far you mite as well do it, right. Great job!

    The incredible amount of articulation you can have with this chain driven rear axle is fantastic! Have you considered to run the chains inside the trailing arms to the rear wheels so that they are not as exposed? I think that could be a great improvement when climbing difficult obstacles.
    With the chains inside the trailings arm you could also cover them to totally protect the chains from dirt. To optimize even more, you could fully seal the trailing arms and run the chains inside in an oil bath, that would make them as protected, silent, low friction, low maintenance and long lived they can be.

    This is pretty incredible build. Really cool looking too. I suggest flared fender parts. Maybe on future builds, for the rear drives if you keep using the jack shaft/chain final drive you could do tubbed arms? Instead of so much tube steel, use some channeled flat stock which is also structural with tube stock upper...not sure if what I'm saying makes any sense. Basically, thicker shee metal lowr part of the arm to help protect the chain? I don't do any of ths stuff, I work on my cars and vehicles but don't do any fabbing.

    I would recommend using an electric dual stage water pump. You can set the flow rate for stage 1 to be lower so the motor warms up faster and set stage 2 to run under operating temps using a 2 stage controller to trigger the phases with relays. Just make a smooth block off plate to replace the finned pump plate (if the electric pressure exceeds the stock flow rate it could cause issues) For the rear sprocket, mill a bash guard like they use on Mountain Bikes. :)

    That thing definitely needs more ground clearance.

    I'm very impressed as always. Personally, I would have liked to see much more ground clearance and break over angle, but at least it looks like a smooth ride.

    Don't forget you really only want to use solder on lugs never for connecting wires as they will break over time with movement but as we all know wiring sounds simple but its not always and only real concern is all that chain between stretching and slip/tolerance to me isn't great for an trophy style truck maybe future build do a right angle drive an a drive shaft update.
    Keep up the fun :)

      I would just add that soldering is never used/recommended in high-current situations because of the possibility of heating up the wires and potentially melting the solder. Only mechanical types of connecting the wire like crimping are used.

    EWP is the way to go not only to keep the radiator up front in the nice airflow but added benefits like after a big run being able to keep the coolant flowing after shut off

    I like too see a real off road test ... which may take a crew too film. It is a fantastic build .

    I think you should consider some mud flaps of some type to keep the front wheels from covering you as well as the rear. It's annoying in some sand rails I've been in.
