Your bump steer fix was the correct one! You're learning! That's all that matters with these builds besides having fun, when you get older you be able to become an engineer and all of this will be relevant. Great job!!!!
Chris has a very good skill set and a lot of knowledge and fabrication skill for such a young man. Just imagine how much you will progress with another decade and another 10K worth of tools! Keep up the good work man, I always enjoy your videos and the awesome projects you come up with.
Super cool! I like how you design stuff, cause you follow through and then rebuild it rather than fixing it before it’s built. It’s a good way of seeing what could have been instead of never seen.
You MOST CERTAINLY should not apologize for taking too long of videos showing your work on your projects. When I get time to sit down and enjoy these at the end of the day, I absolutely LOVE seeing your ingenuity and fabrication skills play out into these machines. I wish I had half of the fabrication skills you do. Speaking of...wanna inbox me the build sheet for that offroad v1000 buggy?;)
Don't sweat whatever everybody else is saying! There is no doubt in my mind that you'll figure it out. Again, I wish I had a fraction of your talent. Keep up the great work!
Dude you are really one of the better channels go power sports backs you do well with your machine tools and make some of the better parts for projects
nice work think your blowing them all away not just saying that to be insulting to any of the others but it's just simply true good luck on your future builds don't change you have the right attitude because when you're good you don't have to be boastful or arrogant people just know you are happy building
rather B, you are great! I am 57 and still learning! I made a 4 wheel bugger and wished I had put the steering arms in front of the "kingpins" and flipped over my steering box, freeing up a bunch of space to put my big stinking feet. )).
Man you got alot of patience to have to build things more then once . I can imagine how much more you could do with a water jet . Great b7ild man keep em coming
You are one talented man. Me being 12 and wanting to be a mechanical engineer and build crazy one of a kind things like that, you’ve definitely be a massive inspiration to me.
I was impressed by the time you put into those cantilever brackets. Then to see you made another set with a different ratio. The effort will yield great results! Nice work!
Awesome work. I can’t wait to see it move! Suspension design is tricky at the best of times, and this trike is a damn sight more sophisticated than anything I’ve built. Best of luck!
I like the inboard shocks and bell cranks, awesome!! Some shocks lose their dampening when you lay them down because the oil isn't where it should be, hopefully those shocks work layed flat like that.
I'd put some longer travel and slightly stiffer shocks on the front or go back to the 1:1 cantilever arms and get stiffer springs. Also, I'd put some sort of supportive guides on the steering rack extensions.
Outstanding job on the front suspension. It looks great. I use a 6” cutoff wheel to cut diamond plate, you might want to try it. Keep up the good work.
Easiest way to cut aluminum is with a worm drive skill saw and a Little wd-40 use carbide blades go slow, use hearing protection. Can cut any thickness even 2” if you need to. will work great with little effort and much faster. Also safer to put some 2by 4’s on floor to keep the sheet on. will work much better. set blade just deep enough to penetrate thin sheet don’t let blade hang to low will have better control that way. For nice straight cuts clamp a piece of angle iron for saw to follow. I learned this from an older machinist buddy. Been doing it this way ever since. Hope this helps
Find a pair of shocks from a snowmobile or quad front end. Your spring-rate is too low with the shocks you have. You started with a 1:1 bell rank, then about a 2:1 bell crank. Most sport bikes have a front wheel travel of 120mm (4.7”). I wish I knew the travel length of the shock rod? If your shock rod travels 2” and you need 4.7” for wheel travel, I think you’re going to have to reverse engineer it, but always remember, “spring rate” only adjusts “ride height”. Love the push-rod! And it looks perfect right where it is! I can only guess, but I’m thinking you’re going to get “body-roll”. Sway-bar from a quad or sled might help? For the rear suspension, did you relocate where the dog-bone connects to the frame? It will change the ratio just like the front did. Both ends are really just bell-cranks. Again, love the front end! Nice work!
Its a shit load of work but keep it cool and all gonna be alright. Hope you can get the plates on that thing to be streetlegal when its all done. Keep up the great work and vids goz those are realy funny ;)
*with all this tooling to build a rocket for nasa👍👍🇧🇷* very top project, I can't wait to get ready *com todo esse ferramental pra construir um foguete pra nasa.* Tá ficando top o projeto não vejo a hora de ficar pronto..
A jigsaw with a metal blade would probably work better than that reciprocating saw for cutting the sheet metal, it's way easier for following a line and seeing where you're going.
I was gonna say that you really need a CNC Plasma table! but you would have to have room to put one first! Love watching your channel! Keep up the good work!
The front shocks aren’t backwards. They just don’t face the same way as the Ariel Atom. It’s your trike. Don’t worry what others say. They aren’t paying you to build it.
Yep. The shocks can face any direction you want, as long as the suspension articulates properly. The people saying they're backwards probably don't know that.
@@petemartus8876 If the steering linkage joints don't line up exactly, with the a-arm joints, when cycling through the suspension, the lengths will change, at different rates, pulling or pushing the steering arm. So, when hitting bumps, the wheels will be "steering" in all kinds of crazy ways. When setting it up, you must be able to draw an imaginary line through all three joints on inner and outer arm attachments and steering linkage. All 3 must also be on the same plane also!
What are you doing for anti roll bar/system? I think you should look at a pull rod/push rod F1 style set up. That way when you corner in this instead of swaying over to one side (which I think may happen with this design) the suspension will be connected, so when one side is compressed the other side will compress also, so the vehicle will be flatter found around corners.
Wow, outstanding metal fabrication skills. A computer aided draftsman could design and test fitment before you fabricate to be sure all of the pieces work. The combination of skills would propel your creations skyward. Keep up the great videos.
937th! Ha ha kidding. Seriously though, it's coming along great, and man do I love the cantilever suspension system! Also, you really don't want any bump steer, as fast as this thing will be, it would be a disaster.
Looking awesome buddy!! Your a hell of a fabricator and I love how your always being creative and not just taking the what works easy route. And your editing is always on point. Keep it up
Awesome content man you are a great inspiration and the end of your video cracks me up every time "I gotta end this Video here" *Keeps talking* "I gotta end this Video here" *Keeps talking* "I gotta end this Video here" Lol 🤣
Ive watched every build on this channel and youve done some cool stuff. But now its kinda getting old. Theres nothing new except chassis design. Nothing wrong with cool chassis design but its the same old motorcycle power plant stuff, most of which has been underpowered requiring special gearing. Also the lack of reverse is unnecessary. Ive been a long time subscriber and am waiting for that next big leap, maybe something seriously off road 4x4 with a v6 transplant from like a toyota or dodge caravan. These motors and trannys can be had for as much as youve paid for the motorcycle engines. A junkyard pulling video would be a cool start to the next build. A smaller version of a rock bouncer with a v6 with 33 inch tires (also from a junkyard) would be stellar and a big boost to your views. Please consider this because I like your style and frame building talent. Thanks.
twin tube oil filled dampers dont tend to work to well unless vertical or nearly so as they rely on the oil being in the base of the shock the foot valve that is in the bottom of the damper works rather better with oil rather than air. you will need to upgrade to gas monotube damper such as the koni ohlins or bilstien rather like the ones they use on the atom. ps love the build always wanted to do roughly the same thing but with 4 wheels.crack on.
Your bump steer fix was the correct one!
You're learning! That's all that matters with these builds besides having fun, when you get older you be able to become an engineer and all of this will be relevant.
Great job!!!!
talented and industrious, you can't lose,i'm jealous of your youth,i like how you just create,i bow to your creative genius young man
Chris has a very good skill set and a lot of knowledge and fabrication skill for such a young man. Just imagine how much you will progress with another decade and another 10K worth of tools! Keep up the good work man, I always enjoy your videos and the awesome projects you come up with.
Projects get better and better
bout crapped my pants watching that saw horse move under you..................many love, much props

Best builder on YT hands down

Dude you are really one of the better channels go power sports backs you do well with your machine tools and make some of the better parts for projects
So cool you just make whatever you need. 😁👍👍 next make a 3wd off road reverse trike
Pretty impressive bro, people can criticize but the fact is that shit is crazy hard.
I like the bloopers at the end
Always have enjoyed his bloopers reel at the end.
Congratulations!!! Top das Galáxias. Bacana Véio mas aqui nos fazemos também e com quatro rodas e para 2 pessoas. Valeeeeoooo!!!

I am very impressed, for a young man you are extremely talented, keep up the most awesome work!
Thumb up for your creativity and especially for the sawhorse you hardly cutted !!
Well, the car, you are a true master of your craft! I will be glad to friendship with the communities.
So happy to see this update!
I really like the Design of it and the General Look of it. REALLY GOOD WORK MAN.KEEP IT UP AND HAVE A HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!
It's about time a company supports you with the donation of a CNC plasma cutter, Great work. Always enjoy your videos.
I dont know sh*t about building these types of things I just watch you man takes the stress away 😌💪🏻🙌
Man you got alot of patience to have to build things more then once . I can imagine how much more you could do with a water jet . Great b7ild man keep em coming
Plasma does a lot of the same with a lot less overhead. Especially if it is water cooled.
Awesome work
Failures or not love the videos!
You are one talented man. Me being 12 and wanting to be a mechanical engineer and build crazy one of a kind things like that, you’ve definitely be a massive inspiration to me.
I was impressed by the time you put into those cantilever brackets. Then to see you made another set with a different ratio. The effort will yield great results! Nice work!
Nice work!! same suspension as my hyosung arrow 150. It came with adjustable coilovers. Works great.
Great work again Chris
SOMEBODY BUY THIS GUY A PLASMA TABLE ALREADY! Isn't there a company that wants to promote their small table for the hobbyist? Anybody???
Awesome work. I can’t wait to see it move! Suspension design is tricky at the best of times, and this trike is a damn sight more sophisticated than anything I’ve built. Best of luck!
Love the bloopers
I love the “blooper” real at the ends of the videos. It happens to all of us man.
Awesome work man
I like the inboard shocks and bell cranks, awesome!! Some shocks lose their dampening when you lay them down because the oil isn't where it should be, hopefully those shocks work layed flat like that.
I dig the cantilever setup! Thanks for showing us the difference in pivot spacing.
Faburlous, just a faburcatin machine 👏👍 aren't ya? Nice work, it's just fabulousness rolled up in a bite size video ✊
I'd put some longer travel and slightly stiffer shocks on the front or go back to the 1:1 cantilever arms and get stiffer springs. Also, I'd put some sort of supportive guides on the steering rack extensions.
Outstanding job on the front suspension. It looks great. I use a 6” cutoff wheel to cut diamond plate, you might want to try it. Keep up the good work.
Your design and craftsmanship/fab skills are 1000 times better than those guys at Cars and Cameras.
When you're cutting alloy with a saw, sprinkle a little chalk or talc as you go to keep the teeth edges clean.
Or filing, it's the same deal.
Or don't stand on it causing the edges to close in on the blade lol...
Easiest way to cut aluminum is with a worm drive skill saw and a Little wd-40 use carbide blades go slow, use hearing protection. Can cut any thickness even 2” if you need to. will work great with little effort and much faster. Also safer to put some 2by 4’s on floor to keep the sheet on. will work much better. set blade just deep enough to penetrate thin sheet don’t let blade hang to low will have better control that way.

Great fix for removing bump steer. That is exactly what we did at our university for our Baja car.
I like how you cut metal with a hammer! Dale duro colega! jajaja!!! Don't stop madeing mad drives. Here, in europe this is close to impossible!
One of the high hats in that beat really wants to be heard lol
Its a shit load of work but keep it cool and all gonna be alright. Hope you can get the plates on that thing to be streetlegal when its all done. Keep up the great work and vids goz those are realy funny ;)
That’s absolutely incredible
Looks awesome 😁👍
You are one smart guy
*with all this tooling to build a rocket for nasa👍👍🇧🇷*

A jigsaw with a metal blade would probably work better than that reciprocating saw for cutting the sheet metal, it's way easier for following a line and seeing where you're going.
You could have made several holes to adjust the suspension hardness instead of one arm length.
Yeah, i'd make another set with several mounts, the shocks can be upgraded as well.
Amazing job....i like so much this Project....supreme🖒🖒🖒🖒
Love ur bro u do each n everything in house acept engine n tyres u r a really mechanical engineer
This man is a bad ass! Great work!
That steering angle tho! Drifters are drooling
Coming together nicely !!! Love the bloopers...
21:12 "I think it's kinda working"... 3 doritos later....
Great video, good job... Your going places Chris..
Can't believe yer Cantilever.Sweet Chris.Happy New Year !
I was gonna say that you really need a CNC Plasma table! but you would have to have room to put one first! Love watching your channel! Keep up the good work!
Enjoy the show👍🏻, 👊🏻 all around on safety also...glad you wear hearing protection cutting that diamond plate

michael blacktree I’m pretty sure in race cars they alternate the directions to get them closer together
Depends on the race car. They're not all the same.
There is no direction for coil overs lol
Yeah makes no diff which way they face, but they are upside down.
Dude, you are too cool. Awesome watching this! Thanks!
Nós dó canal ferreira motos estamos acompanhando tudo. TORNO CASEIRO. 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷👍👍👍👍
That looks awesome!! I love that you're doing a cantilever suspension system!!
Keep up the amazing work.
You always put A lot of work on every single piece.Great job 👍
"I think it's kinda working" lmaooo
I feel stupid, but what's bump steer?

adjustable tie rods for the front suspension. Easy that way to dial it in once complete!
love the homebrew follower on that huge die holder..making life easy

DAMN IT CHRIS!!! I was ALSO in Las Vegas for Christmas week!!! Sure wish I could have met up with you to say “Hey!”
I'm so pissed at TH-cam for not recommending this channel sooner. But hey at least I have something good to binge
A crease or two in that footpan will cut way down on the rattles and add rigidity to your setup.
- a guy whose family used to build a lot of aluminum boats and has done a bit of fab work.
Its looking good, keep up
Man, your prototype parts are already pro level. That's crazy!
You're right, it was "kinda working"...until it broke. ROFLMAO! Excellent video! So glad I stumbled upon this. Subscribed.
Wow, outstanding metal fabrication skills. A computer aided draftsman could design and test fitment before you fabricate to be sure all of the pieces work. The combination of skills would propel your creations skyward. Keep up the great videos.
Всегда только респект и уважение. 👍
Good job!

Looking awesome buddy!! Your a hell of a fabricator and I love how your always being creative and not just taking the what works easy route. And your editing is always on point. Keep it up
Awesome build! Glad you had good holidays man! Keep the good content coming! 🤙🤙
Looking good! Coming along well, keep it up.
Jig saw works better for cutting diamond plate lol looks great so far 👍🏼
Always put your a-arm pivot points and your steering rack pivot points in line and you'll never have bump steer
Should've watched the video before i commented because you did exactly what i said
Amazing suspension design.
that front suspension is awesome.
Beautiful
As others have mentioned a sway bar in the front will help with side to side stabilization and also help raise the effective spring rate
Awesome content man you are a great inspiration and the end of your video cracks me up every time
"I gotta end this Video here"

Move the rear shock further up the arm and the front needs some anti roll
antiroll will be good
Yup an anti roll will also stiffen it up a fair bit also and he definitely needs stiffer springs regardless
Anti-roll bar needed! Sweet cart.
