You were worried about it being too heavy for that 600. I think since you have that 600 transmission you’ll be golden. Can always change sprockets too. Wish I had the time and access to the shop you got there. I’m living vicariously through you and a few other similar channels. Truck driver job can stink for having your own time home.
I think that the front lower rear swingarm tubes should be straight. I thilnk that the curves you put in them will cause them to rotate and will increase/decrease their effective length. Angle the heim joint brackets so they point towards one another. Great build.
The three bolts you put on the hubs are the bolts that holds the hubs on, the cvx axle nut is to hold the axle in place so it don't back out of the center of the hub if. Long as you have the 3 screw threaded thru an tighten down the hub is totally fine. I'm SAE certified mechanic
man you are the mad scientist when it comes to building these buggies. your work is great and every time I see you use that lathe you build I am jealous to the bone..lol keep up the excellent work your setting great examples for young people to see and hopefully want to get out off the couch and do things, you've worked hard and put a lot of effort into getting where you are. koodo's to you.keep it up you never fail to entertain this 60 yr old man..lol
To help with the change in camber angle, If you move the upper wish bone mounting points on the frame further away from the centre line of the buggy then shorten the wishbone to suit will greatly reduce camber affects because the relation between the differences in pivot points
most people dont understand just how much horsepower 100hp actually is, for refrence a '76 VW beetle weighs roughly 1200 - 1300lbs and only has roughly 50hp but will run 85mph all day, so your motorcycle engine should have plenty of oomph to get that rig rolling and doing what you want it to do, sweet build man, cant wait to see the first test drive, its gonna be awesome
I like your project , keep up not many people can have the patience to go back and build , it may look like overkill the suspension but my believe is that's the best way to go , keep up the good work
looking good with the buggy. it has been a few years since I last done any building... now the motor should hold up to the weight to about fifty hundred pounds, more or less. my last build out was a 2200 VW/ pouche trike. it was a ride never too be forgotten. now in my older years, I'd give anything too still have it. but then is history as they say.
Interesting trick I learned when welding a bracket that holds something between snugly between them, is to install 1 or 2 pieces of light card stock in the assembly; when it cools down, you can slide the parts out and put them back in without it binding up, but still be snug.
Whew, that's a lot of unsprung weight. Lots of wear and tear on hubs. You'll find the weak links, and they'll be easy, and great content. I love it so far, great build.
Please. Take a look at the ROD END IN BENDING. ESpecially in the front. I ve dealt with it on my buggy. Basically the only thing you should be worried about is mounting the reaction from strut, which is trying to bend the thread on the A-ARM. I suppose you will mount the strut on the bottom A arm. You wont have much to rework. There is a day when it bend and it will happen exactly when the load is the biggest. For example when you land.... Rear end should be fine when you moubnt the strut on the HUB HOLDER
Drill some speed holes in the plate and go around putting speed holes wherever feasible you'll be surprised how much weight you can save just by drilling holes and if done right it looks pretty cool too I was able to drop 80lb by drilling 200 2" holes in my car
anotha' informational video presented in typical humble-genius fashion.....fabrication is obviously your calling, my friend...keep up the awesomeness, many love, much props
That’s awesome it’s gonna work out way better then before. It almost look like the rear end of a Polaris razer they have a similar set up. I wouldn’t worry about the engine not having the power to push it around. The bike is geared to go 180mph so if you reduce that with a 2:1 top speed will be 90mph and you said you don’t want to go that fast. so I think just try making a 2.5:1 gear reduction I believe that will give you MAX 75mph top speed at 6th gear redlined.
Have you ever considerd to use structural strength in your things? For example your Honda CBR buggy rear suspenson is heavy duty, but the connection points to chassis are weak. For example when rear wheel is pushing forward, the force ends up to transversal pipes behind your seat, and the force will try to bend those pipes/ bend the chassis, and finally those transversal pipes will brake of from the vertical side pipe. It would be a totally different thing if there would be a longitudinal pipe, connected to same point as suspension, which would transfer the force "away" from the transversal pipe. So called continuities. You do not have to be expert, just think from where the force comes, and how you can lead the force straight forward, because force does not want to turn to any direction, it wants to go straight forward. Another very big thing is triangular brackets, always try to make connection points as triangular. Look at the connection points, the force tries to also rotate the transversal pipe, because there is nothing to stop that rotation other than the pipes own torsional stiffness. So with a couple of basic rules you will avoid 90% of the mistakes. That is why people end up building heavy duty things (as you have seen everywhere in internet), because they just do not undestand simple basic structural stiffness things. Do not copy paste those mistakes to your things.
Love this series. Fast uploads and youre making progress. Im working as a welder/projectbuilder in Sweden. Making trainwagons and such. Someday i would love making something this size 👌
Check York part number on hose wheel hubs but I think they use same ones for two wheels drive also. I don't think you have to have the axle going through them to keep them together
the only ones I have run across is late 90s that have a spindle bolt in the middle ..im not a dodge guy and he is using Chevy blazer hubs witch I was a tech for 20 years and I have seen them fall apart with no axle ( guy pulled the axles and front drive shaft to make 2 wd because of a bad front diff)
By the time the frame alone is finished you looking at close to 1,500 lbs or more depending on how you finish the frame build, you may consider aluminum plate to finish out your rear arms. Looking good though. !!
I doubt that. Even if he was using 120 wall, which I doubt, it wont weigh that much. in the end, strength and durability is paramount. Whoops at 35mph, or a good stuff into the ground, will leave him glad he built heavy. Plus, the ride will smooth out with the extra weight. My issue on the rear suspension is that "S" bar from the horns to the swing arms. It is going to rattle to no end.

muito bom assisto a série desde o começo, gosto do seu canal, ainda nao compreendo tudo o que voce diz mas a parte da montagem acho muito bacana e voce é um ótimo soldador kkkk boa noite amigo e parabéns
Your going to need to double sheer those back side trailing arm rods. Run them right into the center of that tube, and put a tab on both sides of the rod.. It's hard to tell but it looks like you used a bolt mounted to the side of the tube, thats no good. It's going to peel right off. The other way to side mount to it would be to insert a piece of 1", 1/4 wall dom tube thru your assembly tube and run a 1/2 bolt true it and the rod end.
Im building a buggy with a hopefully a gsxr 750 not sure yet though but the frame is a Murray go kart that I stretched a foot and ATV a arms and tires from a cheap Chinese ATV. Just finished the front end with welding the brackets and stuff and got the a arms bolted on I just need to order the gas shocks off eBay Wich will be soon
Dont drill holes in that plate steel. It makes it weaker. Get a dimple dye. It rounds the inside of the cut and pushes it out. Makes it lighter and stronger than just leaving it flat.
I was kinda thinking the same thing. Imagine that, immediately after the buggy is finished, the next video title is “garage door modification” lol Seriously though, this thing is awesome
Look up atv gear boxes for auto IRS quads it will be a little more work but then u can order custom axles any time u want as ditect replacement ,hi ,low,and reverse all in one
Don't worry about those front S10 hubs. Yes, the 4X4 hubs have a nut and a CV shaft that runs though it, but the 2WD hubs don't. Just an open hole. ...and they hold up the front of a truck. If you want to see what it takes to get them to come apart, check out Abomb79s video from a week ago that shows all the fighting he had to do on the lathe to get them apart.
great work, The suspension looks like the top may twist over, also the angle bottom could do with a triangle brace, just in case you catch a wheel as it will swing the arms or bend them. weight wise, the design work looks fine to me, its the thickness of what your using which is adding the weight. Think of the ductile tube, it will bend at a span, then quarter inch plate on the end doesn't bend and a "impact area". so why make the end HD? the rest will bend and the objective is defeated? also what is the combined duty of parts? If 1lb is held by 1 arm, and you have 3 arms is that 3 lb? ( its not). I cant leave that hanging, push one, pull the other.. and balance. keep up the good work!!!
I'm sure it has enough power, the real problem is the clutch was not built to move that much weight. The load on it will be much higher then it was designed for. I bet you get a good amount of slip.
Too late, but, about the rear, to get the same setup, but not have to put so many Heim joints in, all you have to do is this. 1. delete all the Heim joints in the parallel bars at the back. They don't need to be Heim joints, and don't need to move anywhere besides on their axis of rotation. 2. on the reach-back bars, delete one of them and put a splined shaft that allows the reach-back bar to extend, doesn't need much. It does however need to be strong. And then you're set. If you do a suspension on the reach-back bar, then obviously you need to beef it up, substantially. This is how (except for putting the suspension point on the reach-back bar) they were done on old F1 cars waaay back in the day.
Power won't be worse than your average tube frame dune buggy with a VW engine that's just got like carbs and exhaust. From here out though I'd 'think light!' cause your just eating into your HP at this point. Can't wait to see how it works out! (I'd be looking for a litre bike engine to be honest)….
You have a suspension that works similarly to an Canam x3. Head over to a powersports dealer and have a look. you prob could have reduced a link and maybe a heim or 2. Less weight. The upper front link wouldn't be necessary as you're not needing to control a pinion angle.
It’s cool to build from scratch like that on the fly, but seems a rough sketch with scale and angles and geometry of suspension and engine mounting might help. 🤷♂️
Your front wheels wouldn't have just fallen off. Yes the hubs Do need support But, they wouldn't just fall right off lol. I know somebody who drove his truck around for months without his axles in his hubs I told him it was a bad idea but, nothing ever happened . He took his front diff out for repair and still drove the 4wd truck without axles .
Doing cad,doing cad.......it'save a lot of job! It's hard to finish with élegant final product without drawing This risk to finish not so élegant at the end with many disproportionate part each fro oder. wait to see the roll cage.
It always amazes me watching you make something out of nothing.. :) I had an idea for a reverse transmition.. You could make it like your two speed transmit ion.. only the second gear would turn a gear that turns another gear on a shaft and then that shaft would turn backwards. run another chain to a sprocket on that shaft, and then when you shift it will go backwards. I wish I could draw it out for you, but I dont know how to do that on the cumputer..:)
so the suzy alone weighs as much as the bike that the engine came out of, wow!! I like to over engineer things to but that's going to need a small block in it! Watching series backwards for some reason...
If your building this for mud why not put a huge lift on it instead of being more like a sand rail or dune buggy it should be like a rzr with a 10" lift..that would be awesome and unstoppable...i would love to watch you make some homemade portals..you do great work
You are doing great fabrication, and I enjoy watching you, but the rear half shafts still look short to me, how are they going to connect from the main axle, the way they are, if so ,how are you gonna connect them to the outer hubs?
The hubs are NOT held together with the cv axle nuts! Lol whoever told you that is kinda dumb. The only thing the cv axle nut does is hold the axle into the hub.
I had this same argument in the comments to his last video. A bunch of people posted ignorant b.s., and for some reason he's bought it without doing any research. All he has to do is lock at a parts breakdown for the 2 wheel drive application for his hub assemblies. There's nothing in the middle. Too bad he's swallowed their crap.
Nice project 👍, you have a small fortune in HEIM JOINTS alone.
YEah I was just checking it from pure curiosity...bud does it really cost 56$ for one? He had like 16 on one side of that rear suspenstion.
You were worried about it being too heavy for that 600. I think since you have that 600 transmission you’ll be golden. Can always change sprockets too.

no need to dislike, just appreciate evrything he does, learn from his imperfection to avoid repeatetive mistakes.
In not an engineer but I'm pretty sure rule number 1 is to avoid squares and make triangles 😂. Weld it good and you should be fine

You are right
CBR. 600 will be PLENTY of power for that. Also you need a lot heavier tacks because when you go to final weld all that it’s going to pull hard

Any idiot can make something strong, it takes a smart one to make it strong and light.

If you would make the rear suspension similar to the front you could have 4 wheel steering. Just imagine the donuts all the beautiful donuts.
If you are worried about the engine not having enough power just add a turbo from Ebay they have plenty and should work good for ya!
Check York part number on hose wheel hubs but I think they use same ones for two wheels drive also. I don't think you have to have the axle going through them to keep them together
Yes 2wd use spindles and bearings in the rotor
Nope my 2 wheel drive Dodge truck takes the same wheel bearings as a four-wheel-drive Dodge truck with no axles

This thing is going to be HEAVY. No way he makes it more than a few miles before smoking the clutch in that CBR.
We drive with a suzuki 600 gsxr in a buggy thats weight 430 kg en have 4wd but my car is very fast. That hons engine is good enough for your buggy
I'm sure it has enough power, the real problem is the clutch was not built to move that much weight. The load on it will be much higher then it was designed for. I bet you get a good amount of slip.
best way to figure out suspensions is by looking to radio controlled vehicles plenty of types and designs
Your an amazing fabricator!
Making some good progress there. 👍😁
5:13 that head bang tho
Too late, but, about the rear, to get the same setup, but not have to put so many Heim joints in, all you have to do is this.
1. delete all the Heim joints in the parallel bars at the back. They don't need to be Heim joints, and don't need to move anywhere besides on their axis of rotation.
2. on the reach-back bars, delete one of them and put a splined shaft that allows the reach-back bar to extend, doesn't need much. It does however need to be strong.

This risk to finish not so élegant at the end with many disproportionate part each fro oder.
wait to see the roll cage.
Must be planning on running different rear axles.
That's what I was thinking, those CV axles are too short
Nice! Part 5....
weighting it this way you also take halve of the links weight added up.
It always amazes me watching you make something out of nothing.. :) I had an idea for a reverse transmition.. You could make it like your two speed transmit ion.. only the second gear would turn a gear that turns another gear on a shaft and then that shaft would turn backwards. run another chain to a sprocket on that shaft, and then when you shift it will go backwards. I wish I could draw it out for you, but I dont know how to do that on the cumputer..:)
Love the new editing
triste não saber...entender seu idioma....parabens pelo seu trabalho...abraços aqui do Brasil....
so the suzy alone weighs as much as the bike that the engine came out of, wow!! I like to over engineer things to but that's going to need a small block in it! Watching series backwards for some reason...
Awesome looking good
Love this channel
If your building this for mud why not put a huge lift on it instead of being more like a sand rail or dune buggy it should be like a rzr with a 10" lift..that would be awesome and unstoppable...i would love to watch you make some homemade portals..you do great work
You are doing great fabrication, and I enjoy watching you, but the rear half shafts still look short to me, how are they going to connect from the main axle, the way they are, if so ,how are you gonna connect them to the outer hubs?
What crazy color you thinking on this one
Nice haircut my dude
reinforce those front motor mounts, on our zx10 mini rail that was the first thing that we broke.
The hubs are NOT held together with the cv axle nuts! Lol whoever told you that is kinda dumb. The only thing the cv axle nut does is hold the axle into the hub.
I had this same argument in the comments to his last video. A bunch of people posted ignorant b.s., and for some reason he's bought it without doing any research. All he has to do is lock at a parts breakdown for the 2 wheel drive application for his hub assemblies. There's nothing in the middle. Too bad he's swallowed their crap.
keep going looking good
Speaking of tanks, why don't you build one, your way!
