@Jaxon Kennedy This, but with triangle shaped "pipe" would be SICK. Don't know if the rules would allow it. But if they do, then it would be pretty easy. Use 90 degree "L" iron and weld a flat plate to it. Use gussets where the corners meet. Might have to do some kind of stress relief from welding to get the metal in the right soft/hard area to function right (remove brittleness from the weld areas), but it's totally doable.
I’ve never heard anything so true until he said “it’s almost food” like that’s the height of his career, building cars? Nahhh, that line is the mic drop of his career
Not sure what class they said it was going to be in. I have built a utlra4 car or 2 and still not sure.....But hope they can make it. Car is going to get small fast.....cage, fuel cell, radios, gps, etc.....cool build though
I really hope that you use some paint to "isolate" the Steel parts from the Aluminium ones before fully welding everything, steel + aluminium is a big no no, i know the galvanic corrosion takes time to happen but you never know!
Cool build. But wonder if the original aluminum frame gonna hold it structural integrity after some high jumps. Especially in it juntion to the tub. Probably it would be better building an exoskeleton around the car, to reinforce the frame.
From a lifetime of designing, building and racing offroad cars in various classes I can tell you that the hardest job for the chassis is hanging on to the suspension mounts. And the bigger the wheel, the harder they are to hang on to. The guy they had design this kit actually did a pretty good job. Never mind the travel or the geometry, his real conundrum was how to distribute the point loads at the spherical heims to the lightweight aluminum/carbon chassis. Boxing the aluminum square tube to create a connected cage of steel at each corner was actually pretty inspired.
Props to Oscar. He is beyond professional. He does such good work and what a wealth of knowledge in all things car/fab/construction. You guys are all inspirational though. Much love from Washington State.
hahaha I thought I was the only one that watched Forged In Fire... but when you mentioned blade warped, was not quenched, went back to the anvil but there was a catastrophic failure I realized it right away that you're also a fan.
Oh man! Two days ago I had a very bad day with back problems lying on our couch with a bad mood. My girlfriend came home with a package with USP stamps on it. Unpacked it, and there it was. The tee and stickers I ordered a few weeks back. AND to my big surprise!! A piece of the Burntacan. #40 of 100. That made my day. 🙂
I love your nerdy aspects!! Love forged in fire. Used to work with a guy who made it to the final. His damascus sword had a catastrophic failure during testing.
Chris, Oscar and Kyle you boys aren't afraid of bloody hard work thats for sure... you are certainly pushing the envelope on every build... in my minds eye I can remember an RC car, Tamiya probably, that had a similar look in the 80's... im looking forward to your face on the first drive...
"it's almost food. ALLEGEDLY" In all seriousness though. Those bump stops are a serviceable part. Would it be better to create a mount so they are removable rather than welding them in? Looking forward to seeing this thing in action
Looks like the raw metal part they're welding to is a tube the part drops into with a retaining nut on the bottom. Had me worried too at the beginning.
when you build the cage dont be afraid of adding more weight to make it more beefy. the trophy trucks are running 5000-7000 pounds. the extra weight helps take the bumps better
I have been designing a trimaran. I am knowledgeable in composites and seeking employment and am in Oregon. I wanted a central petroleum engine and two electric engines. One on each side to drag and power the boat straight instead of the full force wasted on the rudder. I thought about the electric engines being capable of tipping back in case of striking anything and a central propeller behind a shallow keel. Instead of folding for on road transportation, I considered unbolting the sides. I considered a propane generator in case petroleum is unavailable. I also considered the design of making a smooth ride for high speed even though I am not experienced in this. I am looking forward to the build this year.
The reason the piece bent is because as you weld or tack, when the weld cools it shrinks and pulls together, you can pretty easily make a foot long bar stock a doughnut just by welding. Just something to think about when you tack and weld. It will shrink and pull but you can use it to your advantage.
Bump stops are nitrogen* filled. If you depress the valve stem you can empty the gas and fully collapse it easier to check travel and clearance when fully compressed. Just remember to charge it back with nitrogen whenever you charge your shocks.
Hey chris. Just thought about this, but if you want to save some weight and maybe some money, you might can call racing shields in indiana and get some polycarbonate windows. I used them for my truck and they have been great.
You mentioned in a previous vid that you were going to be 2" too wide to be legal but tonight you said 102" which is the max legal width (like every tractor trailer is built to this width) If you find you are an inch or two wide you can fix it with wheel offset so you don't actually lose tire width. This is a cool project and I'm really looking forward to seeing it fly.
It’s looking good, mean and awesome. Was hoping for longer travel for the shocks. Just seems like the shock mounting hoops are set lower than I wanted to see. But I’m just seeing video. Could be a lot different in person
I’m sure you already figured it out, but didn’t hear you mention it. For others, an easy way to identify left hand threaded heims, they should have a line cut into the nut and bung, while your right hand threaded ones should be smooth. Just to help others out!
I still can’t believe the engineering that went into this, it’s incredible. Side note... what gauge/thickness are those upper and lower arms made of? It looks like it’s on the thinner side. Going to tackle some long arms for a pre runner build eventually
The rear toe adjustment outer heim joints should be vertically oriented. This build is 100% better than previous with it's cnc cut parts but it still really should be built in a jig
The confidence boost in that parts fit well means the project might be one of the few deadlines the boys meet with time to spare

When yall go to weld the front tubes and roll cage make sure ya read the rule book !!!
What rulebook?
@@brysonfields2284 Well if they are racing the Mint, probably the BITD rule book.
Oh he was just meaning in general? I thought Chris had said something about a race, that i had missed.
Exactly. I know thy mentioned racing the Mint 400, but I wonder what class this would even fit in?
Not sure what class they said it was going to be in. I have built a utlra4 car or 2 and still not sure.....But hope they can make it. Car is going to get small fast.....cage, fuel cell, radios, gps, etc.....cool build though

What a magnificent engineering job - and -
"the McRib is ALMOST food!"!
Deep & meaningful content, Chris!!
Cool build. But wonder if the original aluminum frame gonna hold it structural integrity after some high jumps. Especially in it juntion to the tub. Probably it would be better building an
exoskeleton around the car, to reinforce the frame.
That's actually what he does, the complete structural integrity of the car lies within the rollcage
Looks insane. Are you concerned about electrolysis between the box sections and the aluminium frame, and engine mounts and frame?
I thought about that too
Should be fine if they paint everything before final assembly

This being done in three months and ready to go off-road at high speeds will be a big challenge, but I can't wait to see it! Such a cool idea..
Loved the forged in fire reference 🔥
Its coming along really well and thank you for not editing out any little bits that needed to be altered. Its an honest way to share your build
I had a Mc Rib yesterday after years since the last one. You are correct it’s almost food.

"But most importantly it will keal" easily my favorite thing from forged in fire
Looking amazing! Btw harbor freight makes a cart for the vulcan welders that works perfectly
12:06 petition to make this as the slogan of the mcrib
Who was subscribed when he started building the gtr, I was and it was 2years ago wow time passes fast
My truck has locked bumps all around and 16" bypass on the rear. I bought one of their first sets of hydro bumps too years ago. They work well!
New breaker or maybe adding a separate sub panel for the shop, 200 amp
Chris. When you do final welding on that bump stop remove the actually hydraulic part of it or it can explode from the heat.
From the view you stated "102" wheelbase", I believe you meant to say "102" track".
probably both haha, so wide it's lookin like a square
@@lamatyler stock wheelbase is 103", don't know how much they're lengthening it but it's definitely close to square
