Completely agree. “We need to connect this battery module, but first here’s 15 minutes of video of me going to a store, walking my dog, and cooking dinner set to some royalty free lo-fi jazz”
Exactly. This is just what I want to see. The only problem with being so straight and solid with the content is that the content quantity can only go as fast as the projects go. And the projects will always have delays and slowness because of parts availability or just redoing things 3 or 4 times.
10 minutes every week or so, just isn't enough. I think I've become a 'Superfast Mat' addict. There must be a group somewhere, I can go to and talk about my feelings. Until I find it......All hail the algorithm.
Superfast Matt is the antidote for all the bro'd out automotive TH-cam channels. Consistently funny, smart and self deprecating. Just wondering, anyone else miss four-eyed Matt?
The real reason I watch your channel is that I share that thinking of "I shouldn't do that at all. At least not right now. Okay, I am doing that thing tomorrow."
I feel that you have tragically overlooked a “drive by wire” system that is not only an order of magnitude more complex, but would allow for the steering wheel to drop from the ceiling or be attached to another car altogether.
YAY.. The Jag build is progressing once again!! You know what? I am thrilled, and a huge fan of your channel. Screw the Algorithm Just keep those excellent puns and video's coming. Besides' it's too late I already subscribed and clicked that button a long time ago, but I click that THUMBS UP Icon for all your content. Even those that are far removed from being about the JAG. I am a FAN. NO not a TESLA fanboy. But this Jag is turning me into one. BEST build on the internet thus far.
Wow, when I saw those u-joints out of phase I started composing an explanation for you in my head. Glad to see it was part of the mock up and you already knew about phasing!! I agree, we need more superfast.
Your super clear description of the parts necessary to connect all the various pieces together is making my head explode I'm sure someone will look at the fabulous end product and say " Hey, I could have done this." Highly unlikely.
Your "I'll just do this for now" engineering is still 10x better than most of ours "perfect that's exactly what I wanted" engineering will ever be. Thanks for setting the bar way to high lol.
Matt you may be the best video maker in this whole platform. It became pretty clear to me with the pikes peak video but everything is gold, hilarious and you know your stuff. Keep it up always puts me in a good mood.
I said to myself when you were installing the EV steering, that you should have made a (rather complex I admit) bracket to mount the steering box/motor at a angle to better match the steering column. Yeah it woulda looked kinda funky at a angle on the firewall, but would have deleted at least 2 of the U-joints, which you have like 15 now lol. (P.s., I'm just rambling, I have no idea how to do most this stuff)
Doesn't matter what I am doing, when I get notification that Matt has a new video, I am watching is as soon as possible. Nothing I like better than unnecessary complications, it is the reason my MGB now has a custom wiring harness and Deutsch connectors everywhere. Thanks for taking us along on this wild ride. Go Brandon.
I fell asleep half way through this vid. Still gave it a thumbs up because it is SuperfastMatt. I will have nightmares about steering columns with 1000 universal joints tonight.!
Hey, I have almost that exact same lathe! Its one of those tools that once you have one you just endup using it for EVERYTHING 🤣, even when its super overkill.
Still think the steering column is a bit of a javelin! I would go for a collapsible column, one of those perforated tube jobs. Amazed the authorities let you use that setup.
Im really loving this project. Thank goodness you don't release 4 x 1 hour episodes a week. I would spend too much time watching those instead of fixing my own car
The good thing about this build is with all the custom work & changes you'll have most of a car for your next project, loosely based around a Mustang 2.
The first time I designed steering for a truck I learned what people meant by bumpsteer. Thankfully I lived to attempt more deathtraps. Now I'm going to look up how you design a front suspension with a rack.
All hail unnecessary complexity 😉. Matts uploading every few days keep us sane during the long months between binky updates. His humour and pacing is in a class of its own. Yay. I'll say that again. Yay.
You might want to look at Constant Velocity joints for that steering. You may have already considered this already but just in case, here’s a free idea 😋
This channel is proof that you don't need 15 minutes of rambling to crack a joke and get a part finished for your project car. Keep it up Matt, I don't even mind that electric cars will take over the world anymore 👍
Couple of things: 1) where did you get an off shelf spline coupler? 2) I don't know how hard it would be to find something in the size you need but CV joints would also solve your shaft angle issues. I've seen some that work at extreme angles.
That turn signal switch in the center of the wheel is sweet. I wish Tesla could figure out a way to put turn signals in the same place no matter how far you've turned the wheel.
Years ago an old fella who was into yank cars had a Checker cab it had a Tripex chain right hand drive conversion , to me me it looked dodgey as hell , then a few years later a mate bought a Jeep Cherokee with a similar setup don't know where it was done , it had a bloody big box in the footwell , I have no problems driving left hookers my brothers had loads , just rambling on when you mentioned drop boxes this sprung to mind LOL , good build though keep up the overcomplicated work .
I imagine the next set of brackets to remount the power steering will look equally nice. Remember Matt you did say something along the lines of why do something once when you can do it three times.
Mount the wheel to a hub, then mount that to a bracket. Finishing with an encoder behind. Make everything pretty, and mount the assembly inside, where it will not move,or detach. On the outside move the pump to, as close as possible to the rack, and mount that assembly where it will not detach unless desired. On the input mount a drive in which can be synced with the encoder, on the wheel, and if desired anything beyond a wheel that feels as there is nothing connected to it, take two sensors and connect each one to each side of the rack. These sensors will take readings of the pressures, you know what. Double that. Put a sensor on the front and rear of each hubs to get the pressures as the steering is kicked back and forwards. Then back inside. Take a shaft, with two taped inserts along with a small drive that can receive the signals, and average them in each direction, with the forces applied. Then it could tighten the nut, and if desired some gearing could be connected to kick in the corresponding direction. These forces are not strong enough to lock up anything, or to overpower the driver, just to give feedback.
Really enjoying all of this. I’m building some cars, and I can only wish I had half of your knowledge and skills, Matt! But.. I have to also say that I’m concerned that the steering column isn’t collapsible! Did I miss something?
When it comes to cool stuff that you don't need (in even greater detail) I go to Paul Brady's motorcycle videos which feature a good dose of cardboard aided design (CAD).
"I'll just do this for now." Famous last words.
Nothing is more permanent than a temporary solution.
Temporary... unless it works
This channel is a gem. Calm demeanor with no unnecessary vlog content is a breath of fresh air for a TH-cam car build series.

Welcome to SFM Anon and all hail the Algorithm
Agreed. I get way too excited when the notification shows up.
Hi I'm MasterofNone and I have a SuperfastMatt problem.
Putting off must-do projects to do fun and interesting projects is the bane of my existence.
"Maybe I'll just work on it a little bit" for an engineer means lots of changes.
Superfast Matt is the antidote for all the bro'd out automotive TH-cam channels. Consistently funny, smart and self deprecating. Just wondering, anyone else miss four-eyed Matt?
Ronald Finger and Fuzzy Dice Projects have a similar vibe, in case you need more.
@@Arzon527 I'll check them out. Thanks for the tip!
Check out Cold War Motors
Hands down one of my favorite channels to watch. I love the "super genius" mixed with "f this math right here" part of your clips!!!
This!
The real reason I watch your channel is that I share that thinking of "I shouldn't do that at all. At least not right now. Okay, I am doing that thing tomorrow."
I like the direction this steering is going. Very cool turn signal idea.
"It works, for now" so basically it's going to stay like that forever?
A.K.A. temporary permanent.
"Nothing is more permanent than a temporary solution."
It's only temporary unless it works.
Matt you're my favorite Engineer. They say engineers cant wrench or machine but you seem to be good at everything!
@@joemichele5412 And all that stock so he can retire early
As ot should be
Nice way to showcase steering solutions, and what compromises you make for the less ideal, the good, and the gooder. All hail the algorithm!
I feel that you have tragically overlooked a “drive by wire” system that is not only an order of magnitude more complex, but would allow for the steering wheel to drop from the ceiling or be attached to another car altogether.
I like the way you think. You're on the right channel.
Oshcut's laser cutting can bend your metal as well, if you dont wanna use a bench vice.
can never go wrong with brute force, but that does sound convenient....
SendCutSend will also bend. I was originally going to keep it straight and use spacers, but I changed my mind after I ordered the part.

"how to make a less than 10 minute video more interesting than a regular youtuber 30 minute video" - By Matt, The SuperFast
As an pilot and engineer I really like your videos. Just straight talk and information. Great...👍👍👍
I am also an pilot ✈️
Continues to be my favorite build on TH-cam... Nice job Matt!
Your super clear description of the parts necessary to connect all the various pieces together is making my head explode I'm sure someone will look at the fabulous end product and say " Hey, I could have done this." Highly unlikely.
Love the way these videos are presented
All hail the algorithm
Whew, that steering setup! I just mounted the motor in the cab behind the steering wheel and only using 2 u joints in the whole thing.
Your "I'll just do this for now" engineering is still 10x better than most of ours "perfect that's exactly what I wanted" engineering will ever be. Thanks for setting the bar way to high lol.
Super Fast Matt or how I learned to love the algorithm. 😀
Matt you may be the best video maker in this whole platform. It became pretty clear to me with the pikes peak video but everything is gold, hilarious and you know your stuff. Keep it up always puts me in a good mood.
Brilliant as always! Work always stops to watch a superfast!
Oh, we are back to the classic "all hail the algorithm" outro, I was missing that.
this is the only channel i have notifications on for a reason
Finally! I just finished binging your video's a couple days ago and was waiting for a new one!
Steering column + wheel as potato masher is a new image for me. Thanks.
I said to myself when you were installing the EV steering, that you should have made a (rather complex I admit) bracket to mount the steering box/motor at a angle to better match the steering column.

Excellent solution to the steering issues
Your videos remind me of This Old Tony, it would be great to see you guys collaborate one day
Unnecessary complexity is why I love this channel. Plus the jokes.
I’m glad you understand the appeal of unnecessary complexity❤️

I love your way of thinking as much as your work.

"Unnecessary complexity" spoken like a true engineer!!!!!!
Keep it up! Your Jag will be an amazing weekend ride thanks for sharing
Still watching because although the content has no relevance to anything in ever likely to do, it's really interesting and entertaining. Love it.
Absolutely nothing wrong with getting side tracked on an unnecessary complication ;)
All hail the algorithm, wish it showed me your channel sooner! This is great stuff, keep it up!
Hey, I have almost that exact same lathe! Its one of those tools that once you have one you just endup using it for EVERYTHING 🤣, even when its super overkill.
Ah yes "just a little bit" can't wait for the 30 hour montage of matt working on it
Love your content! Love it!
Loving your explanations!
Thank you for creating this content. Extremely informative
Still think the steering column is a bit of a javelin! I would go for a collapsible column, one of those perforated tube jobs. Amazed the authorities let you use that setup.
Man I love this! Well done mate.
Im really loving this project.

Great as always Matt - all hail the thingy…
You might want to look at Constant Velocity joints for that steering. You may have already considered this already but just in case, here’s a free idea 😋
Mass hysteria! 😂😂😂❤
Good luck with "a little bit of work" on your new steering. Cheers 🍻
I've read there are constant velocity joints, which are usually used on the steering. So this way there would be no problem with the different angles.
Well Done as usual.
i want this channel to be in the 1 million + sub range . Hell Hail the Algo!
Bloody legend! Great vids.
i am so happy i found your channel

Hello algorithm. This was a terrific episode. We all learned a lot. Join us sometime, won't you?
That turn signal switch in the center of the wheel is sweet. I wish Tesla could figure out a way to put turn signals in the same place no matter how far you've turned the wheel.
That drop box is a great idea.
AMAZINGNES!!!
Looking forward to the next video on the completed drop box and turn signal.
All hail the algorithm. Oh and loving your work.
Years ago an old fella who was into yank cars had a Checker cab it had a Tripex chain right hand drive conversion , to me me it looked dodgey as hell , then a few years later a mate bought a Jeep Cherokee with a similar setup don't know where it was done , it had a bloody big box in the footwell , I have no problems driving left hookers my brothers had loads , just rambling on when you mentioned drop boxes this sprung to mind LOL , good build though keep up the overcomplicated work .
That turn signal is absolutely sick. I think you should do it while it's easy to get to!
This man is a genius

It works for now is a nice way to say it's permanent.
All hail the algorithm.
Looks like an application for a flex drive to me. Bigger version of the flexible extensions for rotary tools.
"Your the potato." I am laughing so hard.
Really enjoying all of this. I’m building some cars, and I can only wish I had half of your knowledge and skills, Matt! But.. I have to also say that I’m concerned that the steering column isn’t collapsible! Did I miss something?
I never knew of a turn signal like that but now I wish they were all like that
"...but then I remembered that math is stupid and I don't care..." That had me cracking up!
steering drop box, or alternatively, use a couple cables like a boat to get supreme boat-like handling
you could extend steering wheel axel and use belt or chain if you can get them in paralel :D
When you said you had a third mounting option, I was expecting a right hand drive setup. But your version is good too
When it comes to cool stuff that you don't need (in even greater detail) I go to Paul Brady's motorcycle videos which feature a good dose of cardboard aided design (CAD).
As long as this has been going on... still getting more done than me and my "projects".... All Hail the Algorithm!
