Seems like I have seen this video before, re-upload? Looks a LOT better, but it could still use a bit bigger tire on the rear yet. And reconfigure that exhaust to go up over the engine like the VW dune buggies have. P.S. You really need to synch those carbs and do a bit of tuning to that engine.
I think the sizes are a major improvement, though with where you mostly drive that buggy I'd go with either a knobby or a turf tire. If you ran in mud all the time the V tread tires would be the way to go, but they will wear out quickly on pavement and they're too aggressive for the yard.
Looks a lot better,.. My personal preference; I'd put same size on front and back. Either put 22inch all around or 20in. But the 22s gonna hook up better, 20in on back maybe be quicker on take off or bottom'end,.. Those tires really improved the looks & most likely performance as well..
I run 23s on all 4 corners of my son's 150cc buggy and it has no problems power wise with me in it. With the engine he has he can run anything they have out (30+) if he gets the engine to run right. I'd say at least 25s would be perfect on it.
That does look a lot better bit I think you need even bigger tires. The stock front tires on my garden tractor are 18s and the rears are 23s. I think you should go with 20s up front and 25-26 in the rear. it'll help with more ground clearance and you can get some super aggressive tires in that size(like 2-3in deep tread aggressive).
Also less mass on the front tires, so bit less effort when turning. Though adding bigger back tires will increase load on the drive train and the engine. I dont know buggys, but for me it seemed that engine had bit hard time on moving this thing, or its just the big cc engine does not rev fast as i am accustomed.
My grandpa works as a trucker and actually found a buggy it kinda looks like that one but red its for two people it needs the seats it has the back rest but it needs some work
Great build. Ive watched every one. I want to point out that your pilot jet is to lean one at least one carb. The others are fine, but the idle is lean. Unless you are near freezing temp, cold starts should be way easier, and idle should be less finicky. Turning up the idle RPM is **not** the answer. To test this theory, warm your engine, then install new plugs. Idle the engine for 15 to 20 min. Check plugs. Anything lighter in colour then unsweetene chocolate is doing detonation damage. Slowly, but surely.
No criticisms.....I think your build is awesome and adding the bigger tires are GREAT however, if I was going to keep bigger tires on it I would turn my exhaust tips away from them...just me?
ya it needs those tires. way better look but also you need the clearance. looks good. just a thought since your using a legit engine, maybe super charge?
Glad you finally got rid of the lawnmower tires but with the horsepower of that engine you should really look at some 24+ inch sizes for it. Personally I would shop for some 25 inch sizes. Change it out to run honda atv hubs and rims will be easier to find. Most of the time find rims and good take off tires cheap. Put some bearclaws or dirt devils on it and you will have to add fenders because they dig instead of just spinning on the top of the ground.
I’m trying to make a buggy like this but I don’t understand front suspension. Any help is appreciated. I just don’t understand the camber and what parts to use so the wheel stays straight
ya they look better but, look what your able to accomplish with the budget that you had to work with ! By far your talents should be praised ! I would buy one if you were to make several or just if you took orders ..... Have go power sports should send bigger back tires by 2"
I want to build myself a buggy similar to your build but( 750-1000cc) two-seater with long travel suspension. I'm curious about how much more weight that will add. What would it be like 12-18inches wider to comfortably fit two adults? Maybe more?? IDK🤷♂️.. Hopefully I will have it built by next spring. Gotta save more cash first.. The dom(type of steel tube) isn't cheap. Probably $500 just to build/bend out the frame. I found pre-fab kit for a-arms front and independent rear suspension. It has axle drive to each wheel. It looks strong enough for type off-roading I do. But it more expensive compared to build n video. However it's nice, plus all fabricated self. That'd save whole lot. Hopefully it'll come together soon. Curious if I could use old atv a-arms for front, but independent rear suspension will still have to be prefab kit or homemade afro'engineered... So many different ways to build it confuses me a bit..
who gives a crap if this a repost!!! get over it.this guy has talent.and too him how much would you charge too build a rolling chassis. I'll put my own engine on say a street bike
You need to change your intake get rid of the air box you are going to starve the engine of air if you don’t get 2 little single air filter for it than you’ll be good
Does it accelerate faster or slower? Does it have a higher top end now or a slower one because the engine isn't producing enough torque? I would say if it is better performance, then yes. If not, leave the smaller tires on it.
I am sure you realize by now that your gearing has changed and your braking as well. And even your C/G has changed meaning it can flip or roll over a lot easier the higher the chassis sits. So while bigger tires are really great for terrain that can utilize them, there are changes to the power band RPMs and braking as well. And it looks like you are getting more plowing from the front end when turning now. IDK.
it will need to get a gear ratio change smaller on the engine side or bigger on the drive axle Boggs to much letting out in first, it should crawl in first....
Wish go power sports would sponsor me a build cart that would show the world that it can pull a big dude like me with a 420 with a torque converter...but would it stand up to WV roads wild n wonderful..
that buggy needs those tires. it looks like a beast
Yeah, GPS how about sending this guy some more rubber ;-)
You should keep them on and get more tires from GoPowerSports. :)

Robert G yeah it sounds like crap and won't last long anyway with no airflow to it lol
@@propaneandpropaneaccessori3446 your just jealous you dont have one and or cant vuild one because you dont have the skill. Troll
With those tires and No paint gives it a mad max look. Awesome!

Cool buggy. I would love a 2 seater of this size to cruise plaster city with. You have some cool projects.
Get bigger tires! That thing is awesome
Go Power Sports is a go kart god!
*roles buggy out of shed* " i hope its not in gear"
Heyy_its_ryan - I wondered if anyone else might have caught that. Good eye .haha
Soulds like great idea to me. Keep up the great work
Go for it, looks 100% better with the new wheel-tires.
Those tires are sick
You should make some cool doors for each side with hinges at the top so they swing up to open it would look cool and get less mud on you lol
This buggy looks to the purest Mad max style, good job.
That thing is so sick! All it needs is a fresh powder coat on the frame
cant wait til i have a workshop of my own. love the videos i been watching you since forever keep em coming.
A Nice set of fenders on the front tires would help with that mud hitting you
Big improvement in looks and function. IMO another set should be bought.
Fab up some simple front and rear fenders for that thing. It'll make it look a lot better and you won't get mud all over the place. Good build though.
those arent big enough fam, ya'll need some tractor tires to shred xD
I find the two speed off road go-kart really cool
Looks a lot better,.. My personal preference; I'd put same size on front and back. Either put 22inch all around or 20in. But the 22s gonna hook up better, 20in on back maybe be quicker on take off or bottom'end,..

You should do a pull back front tire brake, it'd make burnouts easy an badass
Ask GPS for more or put the tires from the mini homemade four-wheeler on it.
Love the look. I would go 2 sizes larger on the rear and one more size larger on the front!!!
You should keep them on the dune buggy and ask for a new set from Go Power Sports. Great video, keep the content coming!
Keep the tires on it

You should make some fenders, and paint it
Are you going to do some offroading I really want to see that with a go pro
I SAW this vid last week
Rikard Stokke same
those tires make it look like a real dune buggy
Very good car. I like how to make. Congratulations. From Ecuador
Looking way better with those tyres🤙
I would suggest asking for a more knobby tread or something more aggressive. You were sliding around a lot on the front end.
No criticisms.....I think your build is awesome and adding the bigger tires are GREAT however, if I was going to keep bigger tires on it I would turn my exhaust tips away from them...just me?
Best looking buggy frame on the Tube.
Scott Lester really
Customwinder 1 Really, I like the design.
Scott Lester i built my own and one for my wife.
ya it needs those tires. way better look but also you need the clearance. looks good. just a thought since your using a legit engine, maybe super charge?
Might go with a slightly bigger tire on the rear a 24" make the dune buggy stance a little more noticeable
I love the big tires.. more proportional
Is that a re-upload?
Keep the rims Rear rims buy mudlites that will fit that rim and use the front tires and add a amazon 6” light bar on top
Thank you, GoPowerSports

neo 71665 25 's work a treat.
Love it man, those tires look good on that.
Just missing some paint, a little wire cleaning, and a light bar
Now THAT's what it should be looking like.
Just out of curiosity how is your simplified manual transmission have a reverse one when I look at it only looks like you only goes forward
I’m trying to make a buggy like this but I don’t understand front suspension. Any help is appreciated. I just don’t understand the camber and what parts to use so the wheel stays straight
Bro that’s the go kart i watched all the vids of you making it
The dune buggy is wicked awesome
Can you built an reverse gear for it? That would be awesome!
Paint it dark blue or maybe purple

Dually the dune buggy with the v-tread tires
no don't that would be terrible
Keeps those tires on. It ups the sketchiness and insanity of that thing
what is the steering wheel parts called like the the hole entire thing. Also where did you get the tire suspensions for that.
ya they look better but, look what your able to accomplish with the budget that you had to work with ! By far your talents should be praised ! I would buy one if you were to make several or just if you took orders ..... Have go power sports should send bigger back tires by 2"
I've waited months for this..

Those are some dope tires
Bad time you get some Big Boy Tires
Have them send you 4 of the rear size. Will look much better with front and rear tires the same size
Get the tires man, get them!
Boy how many times have u hit that splitter?😀
who gives a crap if this a repost!!! get over it.this guy has talent.and too him how much would you charge too build a rolling chassis. I'll put my own engine on say a street bike
ya u need to get some more of those tires
I was trying to build you, but I didn't have an engine
Bigger wheels make a big difference. Enjoy
I don't remember if he fixed the "slow to start" gear ratio problem.
re-upload?
yes
Why?
You need to change your intake get rid of the air box you are going to starve the engine of air if you don’t get 2 little single air filter for it than you’ll be good
Yea you should get more and just keep those on it
Hi have u had any issues with motor after taking out the governor out . do you recommend it at all..
those tires are so much better
and coud you make like a disel gokart
now your gonna need some fenders or tin sides on it.
Now if only you could get the front shock size right
jack phoenix or angle..
both cause those front shocks are wimpy
Does it accelerate faster or slower? Does it have a higher top end now or a slower one because the engine isn't producing enough torque? I would say if it is better performance, then yes. If not, leave the smaller tires on it.
Would accelerate slower currently but have a higher top end, he could make it run the same he would just need a larger rear sprocket
I am sure you realize by now that your gearing has changed and your braking as well. And even your C/G has changed meaning it can flip or roll over a lot easier the higher the chassis sits.

Awesome video 👍🏆
I have those same headphones....only the left one works :P
I think they would totally do it! You should ask them!
Have you thought of using a snowmobile engine?
Won't that exhoust heat mess that tire up ??
it will need to get a gear ratio change smaller on the engine side or bigger on the drive axle Boggs to much letting out in first, it should crawl in first....
Keep up the good work dude ur amazing
How hard is it to make a reverse gear?
Ask them, that thing looks much better with those tires
Wish go power sports would sponsor me a build cart that would show the world that it can pull a big dude like me with a 420 with a torque converter...but would it stand up to WV roads wild n wonderful..
did you make this go kart from scratch?
Go power sports help my dude out with some tires
why did you take down the other vid and re upload it
You should put body panels on it
Needa put a hitch on the buggy so you can pull trailers and the wood splitter also
Yes on the wheels tires and hubs as well as do a 4 point harness in the buggy would be safer
Great dude u made a lil cute monster 💓
Now it looks like a dune buggy.
nice BIG TIRES sweet!!
