Hi Zack,
You know 1000% more how to customize things than most people do. You don't have to apologize to anyone for the decisions you make. You're a fine young man and will go far in life. God bless you!
👍😃👍
I love your style and honest good hearted character! It is a weird project, but coming from you anything is good and interesting to watch 😊
Haha, lot of magic going on in this video.. Well done, mate!
Had this idea to years ago. Never got to it. Super nice to watch your inspirational channel!
I built one of these at the end of 2019 for hauling stuff when we go to our son's baseball games. I used a small safe for the battery box and have let and usb voltmeter attached into it. I can throw keys, wallet and etc in it when at game or beach. Glad to see you posted the video. I couldn't find anything like this when I was looking and wasn't about to pay the price for a built one.
You definitely have skills! This would be great for going to swap meets, after pulling a bunch of car parts around on a hot summer day, I am dead. I really like the hook to attach another cart to. The only thing that would be nice is a freewheel type of system. There are times when you have little to nothing in it and really don’t need to waste battery life. Can’t wait to see what you do next.
This is great! I really enjoy your videos and you giving links to the parts is very helpful and greatly appreciated! Keep doing what you do!
Do you have a link for the 48v charger there is no more in the link he put
Another interesting and well executed project, keep the variety coming it is innovative and entertaining!! BTW..Thanks for all the links.
Snazzy transitions! Neat project. Great job.
All of the video editing magic you do is fantastic
I gotta do this. Thanks for sharing your ingenuity!
Dude that is an amazing project!
Cheers mate, nice editing.
Love it! congratulations!
Awesome job! I was actually trying to get ideas to build my parents and electric wagon for bringing firewood into the house from the wood shed. This would be perfect as they already have a gorilla cart like yours. Thanks for making this video!
Wow! Looks great, thanks for the idea.
Great video! This is something I need so bad. Tired of lugging these heavy carts at the beach. Thanks for the ideas.
Great project!
Any update on how it works with dry sand?
Thumbs up for the editing.
Nice FX. Well aligned cuts.
Love it! What a great imagination!
Awesome video! awesome idea! Great job.
It really is a GREAT video you made, and it totally inspired me to not only build one, but to understand the weaknesses and improve the design (i.e. try making a turn with yours on pavement with that solid rear axle, lol). I'm currently on Rev3 and still trying to do better. It's such a great concept and excessively useful device for me, which is why im going through great lengths to truly optimize it! Thank you again!
Solid would love to see your progress or what motor can I use like the second one he used
Not weird at all. Very creative and practical. The applications are endless.
This is not weird, super practical. Thanks for idea.
I'm in awe of this young mechanic.
Brilliant. Enjoy to watch.
Great application, just what I need. Thank you.
WOW what an amazing job! Great quality work too, you should sell these things! Thanks for the great video, got some ideas now.
Building in crocs, the stuff of legend.
Built this cart with the 1K watt motor.
Took it for a test spin today. Cart hit 26mph with me on it.
Probably illegal in some states.
I love it
I got a voltage regulator to take the cell phone charger from 48V to 12V. Picked it up on Amazon for $18. The charger linked is 24V max and if you use it on a 48V system you will fry it.
I added a digital safe and put the ignition in the safe. I placed the safe in the rear of the cart. Fit perfectly.
I'll post up video soon and place it in the comments.
Thanks to OP for the build!
Hi, have you got a video for your motrised cart?
@@elvismekowulu4634 th-cam.com/video/Svkgp0arKdk/w-d-xo.html
(Spongebob cutout: "2 years later...")
Surely this OP will dleiver his video.
Cool fishing cart!! 👍
Very cool , awesome work .
Kool! I built one years ago using an anglers Fish n mate cart and drive axle from a mobility scooter. Works great
Cool project. Though I was so distracted by the crocs that I missed all the details.
Something like this with a linear dump actuator would be super handy around the yard!
I had an idea like this as a kid, its cool to see it made finally
We have the red one you were pulling, but I often think how great it would be if it could be electrified. Great build.
That is so awesome!
This is awesome! Great work.
That's awesome!!! I want 1 for yard work lol
Nice jump cuts! 👍
this one was so fun to watch :D
Jump cuts/transitions were really cool and unique. You get better at this with every new episode. Keep it up!
very cool build! I noticed your shirt !! I grew up in LW and WH. We had a summer place on Lake Kissimmee and then on Lake Hatchineha. Worked at Cypress Gardens while in high school. Hopefully LW is still a cool little town...Cheers
Your a Rock Star Bro!!
Great Job.. 😉👍🏼
Very cool. Gave me a bunch of ideas.
Great build
Great build! I would consider using a motor with a built-in planetary gear reduction, since what I'd want is slow speed / high torque for getting over the dunes at walking pace on the way to the beach. I have a larger Gorilla Cart that we use at the beach, but getting it over the dunes fully loaded is a nightmare. Also, given the salt / sand conditions at the beach, I wonder if it makes sense to build an enclosure around the motor and drive train?
Good idea, also means it won’t need a brake as the gearbox will bring it to a stop when it’s not under power
I'm doing this myself, going for a 350 watt 36 volt gear reduction motor, should be enough to get it started on sand I'd hope
How about a bridge and a motor enough like his second one
Very useful. Thank you. Please give followup as to whether brakes are really necessary, at least on the beach.
That’s awesome. You should see if you could figure out a way to connect one of those potable solar panels to it to charge while you’re at he beach. Thi way you wouldn’t have to worry about the battery dying on you an you can keep the charge topped off.
Nice work young man
Thanks I just bought a groundwork cart with 16 inch tires from tractor supply to aid me in collecting driftwood but the more rocky the beach is the harder it is to steer and pull
Bro idk how your video popped up but I'm glad it did, I've been trying to find a way to do all of this and the exact parts to use like this but to my tool cart, a Rubbermaid Utility Cart, I had added some 8 in Pneumatic Tires and I wanna make it where I don't have to push it cuz it gets heavy but you might've saved the day so thanks, I'm gonna look into getting all the stuff you did and doing the same setup!
That’s pretty dope man
absolutely practical...is there a way to use variable speed control? well done project !
Dang Awesome build !!! AAA +++ Where was this all the years I packed my family on and off the pier. That's it I gotta build one now.
Great job
Great build and thanks for the detailed build list. Any chance you will post that sand follow up on TH-cam?
Nice build!
Cool, love your projects..... You have a real nack for things mechanical. (and paint) I have a winter place in Haines City, I see you wore a Lk. Wales t-shirt...... We are practically neighbors.........
Pretty much 😂
I liked your pull-cart train. I guess that makes you an official engineer!
Have a way to disconnect drive in case of power/motor failure. Perhaps a tensioner which when removed can allow the chain to be taken off the axle.
Like the idea.
You really need that anyways to adjust for chain stretch just like on a bicycle. A double turnbuckle in compression or tension would work great and then uses lots instead of holes to mount the motor. Quite easy to adapt from present config.
This is genius!! Looking for a more detailed version so I can do this.
I plan on making one for foot hiking to carry all gear and water for my long hikes. I think good tires will help getting through the bush.
Good man 🦸♂️
Nice job.
Randomly popped up of my algorithmic trendies lmao.... and i loved what youve donw with the cart!!! I suggest using like a trail bike handle bars incase you tend to sit and steer.
Nice ...love it man !!! good deal ! wish I can make one like that ....or even something like that, that hitches on a ebike ... hauling a wagon like that .. now that would be cool .. for the kids to ride on with seats and maybe a canopy .. how about that :)
Very nice editing job! It takes me a long time to edit videos and I don't do any tricks.
AWESOME VIDEO ! Ty
You never did a new update on this and what I’d LOVE to see is you retrofit with some 20" Wheeleez tires. Thanks for the great build!!!
Quick question. Is that a garden cart from Home Depot or Lowes? That’s what I was thinking of using.
You realise you could have gone around that sand Hill right? :P
Great vid. As always Keep up the good work :)
So cool exactly what I was looking for thank you
Pimp my cart, baby!! This was fun! That small motor was meant to break down for you to use the other motor for mo powah baby!
I have a rigid toolbox that I want to do something similar too because it gets heavy with my tools and then having to pull over terrain. I'd like to use a milwaukee 12.0 AH battery to run it and have a momentary contact switch on the handle to turn on the motor. I also thought about someway to have the motors not engage until the box is angled to pull along. What do you think?
In the jetski world we use beach carts to launch them into the water at the races. If you can make a water proof design with big tires that would be amazing.
sweet idea.
How did it perform in the sand?
3 yrs later not a reply to the comment or a updated video with the newer 🔋
lol those wheels suck you need balloon wheels in soft sand
I'm thinking of doing this with my bicycle cargo trailer. It looked like at 1st you had dual motors, but then went single motor with your minibike kit. Is that correct?
My setup I was thinking 2 motors, 350watt on front axle & 350watt on rear axle, hooked up to same controller & battery. What are your thoughts? I heard dual motor gives you instant torque and helps lighten wear & tear as if it were a single motor. THNX
Good job ...
Nice work. The link for the axle shows it without a chain. Any info on that would be nice and the square tube dimensions would be awesome too. Thanks in advance.
You started with a 500w motor. I want to build one like yours to move landscaping materials around. Would the 500w be enough, or should I go to 1000w? Thanks
Need that on fireisland great 👍 stuff
Thinking about building one but i think I'd have to add solar panels somewhere and make it easier to drive while sitting on it
I built something very similar but I used a 36 volt motor and cut the base off a couple of burned up m18 drills and used them to wire the motors so I could use 2 18 volt Milwaukee batteries to power it in a series
Great work 💪🏼 how long does the battery last?
Can you provide a link to the motor controller and perhaps something showing how everything is wired if that's not too much to ask? Thanks. Great build.
Great video man, but, those wheels won't work in the soft sand, I'd love to see the test video here on TH-cam
Where to buy the brake caliper and mounting plate for this axes? Thank you.
Great build. What are your thoughts on salt corrosion?
Dude better watch out, you'll get a rep for building quirky electric vehicles. Nice job and would be a good rep.
I'm curious about where you got your components from. Also I think a high/low range gearing system should be added so you have better control when climbing a somewhat difficult slope of sand and safer control in tight spaces. But great build. I've been considering motorized my beach cart. But more importantly my large smoker for going to the farmers market and bbq competitions. She weights 1200lb. I'm going to need a BIG motor for her. But rarely ever need to move more then 50'. Have a great day 🌤.
Are there any future plans to incorporate folding solar panels for charging on the go?
Think there's a way to use electric drill batteries like they do on power wheel conversions?
Love that freakin elephant,
I'm very impressed! Great works! Could you kindly give me a list of parts you've purchased and where you've got from?
genius idea
Do u have a link for the brake caliper, and what do u use the Wire Block for exactly?
for a cart that goes through sand i would see if you can use a ribbed belt as if someone kicks up sand on the chain itll shorten the life and could break sooner
those gorilla carts are beasts! just curious about how the battery will stand up to the salt water being on the bottom w/ no cover.....great video and thanks for sharing!
What was the max load it can take? Nice build btw :)
