Cage looks right. I started fabricating at a young age in my father's racing shop. I'm 50 now, and have built and fabricated so many wonderful things like space vehicles, jets, helicopters, drag cars, campers, muscle cars, hot rods, houses, shops, car trailers, and a bunch in between..etc, etc. The skills your honing at your age can take you places some only dream of in life. The satisfaction of creating something tangible and useful is in itself art.
In order to make a vehicle suspension operate well at high speeds(in a dual a-arm front suspension) the lenght of the upper a-arm should be 50-80% of the lenght of the lower one, this makes it even more stable while turning at high speed but through the compression of the suspension it modifies the camber so it's more complicated, but good to know
I drove an 86, yes these are special. if you think you have the space to turn the throttle, you'll wonder even faster if there's still room to brake. they eat space. they are not a test of your refexes, but they are there to make it clear to you that there are limits to your refexes, thinking speed, endurance and strength. What I also remember is that these had mega vibrations, your wrists took a hard time. keep that in mind because everything that is sensitive to vibrations will certainly break down. there is also a company that takes a modern KTM block (believe a 450) turns it into a 500 but with balance shaft. maybe too late for you but after all the vibration problems you might have this is the next best thing after the CR500 ... if you still want the beast among the beasts. greetings David
3:15 looks like your hiem joints allow for a boat load of up travel but at ride height are just about bound up. If you re- weld the ball joint stubs closer to horizontal you should have a bunch more down travel without any binding. Anyway awesome job, can't wait to see this Ripppp.
Quick tip when doing the dimplesdont forget to flip them over and they would look killer if you swapped the side so the dimple was on the inside and if you choose to you could add a bar in between the di.es for extra strength.
You should have made a jig for those a-arms like red beard did on his to keep them exactly the same not trying to tell you how to do anything thing just trying to help you like i always do you know ive helped you figure a couple things out like the axel bearings on the shifter kart for one but great vid man as usual and stay safe crazy times are upon us with well you know the uhhh pandemic
Looks good!! That right side shock not compressing would drive me bonkers until I figured out why it was happening!!! Hell,I wouldnt be able to sleep at night.
I’m really glad you are doing a proper alignment setup while building. A lot of cross cart builds i have been watching they do neutral castor setups and I’m always like that steering is not gonna work great at all at speed. Lol keep up the great work!
Love the video bud keep up the good work, and maybe telling the people what the name of the thing they are wondering what it is is. It's called a remote reservoir and your description of what it does was spot on 👌
Sorry the Buggy went,but $ are needed for awesome stuff like this new build.Since it looks a cross between sand rail,and rock bounce,and to shorten it's name,"Trail Rail"?
I built a golf cart many years ago with a Cr 500 motor beware of the vibration lots of broken motor mounts. I have heard because of using the solid wheels no spokes like on a motorcycle to absorb the vibration. long story short after one season I took out the 500 and put a CBR900 motor it has ran for 15 years now with no broken motor mounts.
When testing your suspension on concrete like that I like to put a piece of cardboard or plastic under the wheels to allow them to slide out. 200 lbs/in is definitely too much for the build, but having tires stick to the concrete will make shocks seem even stiffer than they are, which could lead to only one shock compressing since only that tire slid a bit. My guess is you'll want somewhere around 100-125 lbs/in
Sometimes you gotta move stuff on to continue new projects. Those shocks may seem stiff now, but at high speeds you’ll be happy they are. You do know that CR500 engine will get you close to 100 mph, right? LOL those bikes still scare me.
I would change the mounts at the top to be longer to rotate the shocks so the remote reservoir lines can go on the inside, those lines are going to get ripped off in the woods facing out like that!!! !!
Fantastic work. Some of these other UA-cam guys need to start taking notes from you. Since you like building stuff like this you might think about getting a fabricator position at one of these atv / utv shops that make these things. You have skills!
Awesome build man. And yes those springs are way too stiff. Most drag cars with coil over shocks don't even run a 200lb spring. As light as that thing will be, you would probably need no more than around a 130lb spring. I would wait until you have most of the buggy built and assembled then weigh they whole buggy. Talk to the guys that you got the shocks from to see what they recommend. Keep up the great work bro!!
Maybe you have to use the front shocks in the back there is more volume there and if you start driving it you there will be 60 pounds more on the shocks great build i look out for the next vid
Hi, I commented about suspension before. A 200 pound spring, times two. It would take 400 pounds to sag one inch. The springs are way too stiff. Just as an example, a snowmobile weighs about 500 pounds and they use 80-100 pound springs on the front end. Keep in mind, if you bought new 100 pound springs, your compression and rebound valving will be way off and simply will not work. What is the spring rate for a Banshee? That’s closer to the weight you need to hold up. When I saw the diameter of the shock rod, I knew instantly you were headed towards a problem.
well done. that is what good planning and spending a little money looks like. those clowns at CARS AND CAMERAS could learn alot from watching you. look at your build versus the hack job, booger weld, spare part pile shit they do. the proof is in the pudding.
was thinking the same thing when watching this video. With all that youtube money they are earning and all the free parts from gopowersport there builds should be some of the best ones on YT..... But sadly it is not....
Not sure if you'll see this on an old video. After you dimple die, flip your peice and lay the flat side down with the bottom die on top and press again to flatten it again but leave your dimple.
He probably doesn't make quite enough money to be working on cars much. Idk if he has a job but you don't make that much money on youtube with 160k subs
How old are you? And what do you plan on doing for a living? Cause your gonna do just fine! Not many people are as driven as you seem to be! Can’t wait to see it up and running!
Is there an update on this build? You started a new build before you finished this one. If I missed the update I apologize but if you don't mind to point me to it I would appreciate it. Keep up the great work and interesting builds!!!
mate ,, absolutely f&%@*in awesome buggy,,, the CR 500 donk is next level,, weapon of a bike,, but dude you gotta build or invest in a small CNC plasma cutter,,,, Grind Hard Plumbing built his ,, maybe grab him for ideas ,, great channel groover keep it up hey,, peace out from Australia

Yes, we want you to bore us with all the technical talk. That's why we are here fam.
Yes I need that info as I am doing my front a arms, ever bit of information helps lol
I agree
Its code for I'm guessing
yes more techno babble

I definitely agree, unless you're always driving in a straight line unequal a arms are the way to go.
Or for off road applications where the suspension is constantly cycling large amounts
Yes, but anyway, it'll be fine, nothing will explode😂
listen to there advise and you'll have a very sharp x- kart.

I’ll say it again... favorite project so far! Thanks for letting us ride along
It's looking great brother best looking design I've seen so far on tube.

Yes , I adjusted mine like 3 times to get it to travel all the way
That baby looks sweet . You're doing a wonderful job on that baby .
Thank you for the video and God bless
Hey! Thank you for the shoutout!!! That’s a cool project! Looking forward to watching your progress!
No problem 👍
Who else imagine this in the dunes
Cris Ramirez it will be werry werry powerfull scary powerfull
yea, i am hoping to see it wheeleing with that cr 500 engine.

I like when you talk about the “boring” stuff haha. It’s way easier to learn it that way! Awesome build so far man

Can’t wait to see it done it looks so sick right now
The reservoir on the shock allows the piston that separates the gas from the oil and thus getting more travel from the shock tube itself.

I have heard because of using the solid wheels no spokes like on a motorcycle to absorb the vibration. long story short after one season I took out the 500 and put a CBR900 motor it has ran for 15 years now with no broken motor mounts.
Looking pretty damn good my dude. Nice job. I like this build. Also we dont mind the tech talk.

Nice! Can’t wait for my gsxr 600 buggy to be done
Yeah that’s a cool project, worth watching
The 49 Packard. AKA The Rescue Pig. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
This is awesome, thanks for sharing bro 👍
This is the build I’ve always wanted to see🤘🏻. I wanna see some paddles on the dunes going crazy
Nice work. Fwiw, Dimples aren't just another pretty face. They remove weight and add rigidity to the part.
Yes. Please keep it up!!!
Awesome informative Video experience Y'alls God Bless Ya Prayers 🙏 👍 🙌
I can already say thats a keeper

Loving the build keep it up! Also first full ride has to be the dunes!
Keep going hard on this build bro. This is the one thats gonna take your channel to the next level.
Yup damn near anything with a cr 500 motor in the build can do this!!

Yes I liked it and I like the buggy...
Awesome build.
Fronts arms and shocks came out good keep it for now untill u test it out
I cant wait till this beast is done 💪😎
Ahhhhhh you sold it !!!!!
this thing is going to be insane man
Build is lookin great brother
Yes!!! I been waiting, you better make this thing rip.
That was cool of the homie from Garage Bound making you those tabs. Subscribed to his channel👍🏽
Coming along nice. What happened to the minibike? got to get it fixed and get it back on the drag strip!
Some round LED lights would look cool on those dimple die areas.
Man that's gonna be so sweet looks good so far
You think those reservoir lines will get caught on branches and other stuff?
Try to turn them around to the inside?
If he lays them down along the cage, he shouldn't have an issue really.

100 should work they make a 75 too. Also the shocks have angle so that makes them compress more than 1:1

@@deandaley4572 CnC didnt put shit on the map,...except showing ppl how to do things wrong.
That is lookin so sick
Overkill is an understatement on those shocks.....but boy they are beautiful......I'd love a set for my buggy
Great progress, keep it up!
Great job once again dude 👏 this thing is gonna be your best yet!
Looking so good 👌
Looking good work keep up the great job
Nice. I'm interested to know why they aren't compressing evenly
Just a guess, it could be unequal nitrogen pressure. One might have alot more than the other.
I accidently let some fluid out of the "soft" shock. Not sure if its a bad/good thing
This is gonna be one cool ass build
You do amazing work my friend!
Looking good....hope part 5 dropping soon 😀
I mean 6
Coming right along dude!
You broke my heart man I didn't thought you would sell the buggy
good man Vasily,keep it up lad...
Great video man can’t wait for the next one!!
The front looks like a alligator. 👍👍
Hell yea been waiting. 😁😁👊

Any updates in this build? Looking forward to them 👍🏻
Well Done!
"My mini bike ecploded on me, so yeah super exiting"😂
Yet another bada$$ build my dude! Keep it up!
Appreciate it brother!
Very good💪🏼 bro, can you make a video of your history? (how you started make buggy’s) yours videos are very good thanks for all content 🔥💪🏼
A very good work👌👌👍
You seem to have a lot of unusable uptravel but get bind up at ride height in the outtravel, maybe change the heim joint angle?
How old are you? And what do you plan on doing for a living? Cause your gonna do just fine! Not many people are as driven as you seem to be! Can’t wait to see it up and running!
Thanks I'm 19 I would like to pursue youtube

Different builds help raise my productivity. I get tired of doing one project for so long. I haven't quit this build or anything like that
@@VasilyBuilds Awesome! I just get excited to see the end result and see how they rip!!! Lol
I would think the dimple dye would make the bracket stronger?
What did you do to determine how your shocks are supposed to be set up? Valving etc?
If you want this buggy to perform on the bumps & jumps you need to tilt the A-Arms & Shocks back 10-12°.

Love the builds keep it up
Wait to order springs until you know vehicle weight !

Cool man 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
When miata build is starting?
You should maybe consider getting some old car like that and doing something custom maybe a joint venture with your buddy just a thought
