It looks like the Ackerman geometry is backwards in some clips, but I promise that's just an illusion caused by the wide angle mode that I'm using in the GoPro. Check out the suspension video on my channel for a clearer view of the steering geometry - I'm using close to 100% Ackerman. Update: the range test video is here >> th-cam.com/video/GmdRuX4Ji1A/w-d-xo.html
@@pfauniversal1890 it’s one person. I know this guy. Grew up with him in my teens. Known him for 20+ years. Good friend of mine. He does it all himself. It’s nuts. He’s quite talented! The buggy was an idea among one of our friends and he brought it to life on his channel..
I have to agree that I am a bigger fan of the fabrication he can do , well than say just the electrification. The factory finish level body panels, the welds, the design its all fantastic compared to a lot of pro You Tuber who may rush their stuff a bit more to keep churning out video's, you only see this come along rarely so Im really impressed.
I love how this dude can make an electric buggy in a few months in his own garage that looks like something that rolled out of a factory. The talent of some people!
Real nice trick of using the welder to cut the stranded cable .. simultaneously cut and stop the fray. Perfect. Your skills are admirable. Amazing build!
Instantaneous Admiration and Respect! I was on my University’s MiniBaja SAE team in college and we built a similar buggy for competitions. I know exactly how much work/effort/precision/skill goes into a build like this and you sir make it look EASY! Respect!! -CY Castor
Well done,....metalman.....you are a master craftsman...total talent .. you make it look easy with the beauty of creation. We all need to shift to evs as oil burners are killing our planet...with others help. But the fun and stealthiness of a fun fast ripper.....awesome build...
There's a lot of machinists and fabricators on TH-cam but man you take the crown. Such an impressive display of several different areas of expertise. I'm completely amazed
This vehicle is the ultimate form of the expression "BUILT, NOT BOUGHT". 👌🏼⚡❤️ So much love and attention to detail not only to the fabrication process but also the filming and editing throughout. Top notch work!
If you need to plasma or gas cut sheet steel, mark it with an angle grinder cutting disc. You can see the groove through welding/cutting googles. Saves you a lot of grinding too. Awesome job!
All i can say is WOW. As a fabricator myself, you are a real mastor of the trait and a serious inspiration to anyone looking to fab anything. My hats off to you sir for this build. Your work is nothing shy of amazing and this is by far one of the best videos i have ever watched. Wow!!!
I wasn't looking for this video, but I pulled an induction motor out of a dryer a while ago, and I've been itching to build something around it. I had all sorts of ideas rolling around in my head about the practical application of the project, and I settled for something road drivable but also offroad capable. I knew it had to have double wishbone suspension, but I was at a loss about how to lay it out. This video has been a very welcome inspiration. I'm saving it in a dedicated playlist for future reference.
No question. If this were to be made available as a kit and given an instruction manual, I would buy/build this buggy. This thing is incredible. Great work! Do any of the other video do a cost breakdown of the materials? And another breakdown of potential labor cost?
Absolutely awesome James I don’t know what you do for a job but you need to be in research and development of electric vehicles and really taking your toys to market. I would definitely invest in you Awesome job
Saw your build on Quantum whatever HD and had to come give the OG creator respect. I'm so glad I did! You mention all kinds of details that so many other buggy build videos leave out. Their rip-off video was just a stupid music over-dub. Much appreciated.
I have built several electric vehicles, from the ground up. This looks like something a team of 6 engineers spent 3 years developing. Good job, brother.
What an amazing video! One person, complete design, build, test, science behind the electrics, full understanding and explanation of mechanics, electrics, electronics and mechanical fabrication. Completely blew me away. Magnificent job, sir! Oh yeah, and the buggy's pretty good too!
I grew up with my father running a welding and machine shop. I've been around some really smart machinist and welders that where capable of incredible builds. I've never seen one man with so much talent at the entire build ! Bravo and instantly subbed !
Everything you did was top notch. From the metal working to the custom batteries. Even cutting the cable with the welder was genius. Beats heating it up and using solder.

An awesome build! A little obsession of mine is putting the bolts always from the top. That way if the nut gets loose or even lost, there's a chance the bolt stays in place just by grace of gravity.
That was exceptional, i am impressed and jealous of your skills. What a cool creation! nice video work also, straight to the point and added commentary as required. cheers mate!

So happy to see this finished. I want to make one too. I love the simplicity of the build, and the elegance of the design and math that went into creating it.
Incredible build! (New subscriber here) I can't believe the effort, knowledge and talent that you put into this E-buggy! I thought of doing an E-buggy until I watched this. Since I have not one second of experience with any type of EV, I'd be lost. 😀 Thanks for sharing your amazing talents. I'm definitely going to check out the other videos on this build.
I like to think of myself as a problem-solving, engineering type of person. This video makes me look like a toddler with finger paints. Nice work sir!!!
My kind of guy. Everything you put into it, you made yourself. There is just a hard to explain satisfaction in building something from just a bunch of raw materials and basic parts.
I'd like to see it too, because this is completely my design and I haven't published the plans yet. Took roughly 6 months in CAD prior to the year long build, and it changed 3 times during the process, all documented on my FB and blog. You can check out the evolution there. What I started with, which looked goofy af imo, and how I got to this point. There is no other electric crosskart like it, diy or otherwise. From what I've searched there's only one and it's manufactured for kids. Looks like it too. Tiny little thing, about half the wheelbase of mine. Does mine look like a typical crosskart? Yes, as do most karts. F1 cars resemble other F1 cars, super trucks look like other super trucks, etc. But mine is substantially wider than most in order to fit that 14 kWh bank around me, and that's part of what should make it an obviously unique and somewhat challenging design compared to others. But you're free to download the plans when they're available or take some screenshots from the video, scale them out and overlay onto the buggy you think I copied to prove me wrong. If just two pieces of tubing or any other two components match up in any way, I'll pay you $100. Let us know how you make out.
I probably won't get a notification if you respond with results, so hit me up at jbiggar@resystech.com. I'm serious. If you think I used someone else's design, prove it. I'll pay you and you get to tell everyone how you called me out and proved me a fraud :)
@@JamesBiggar Everything but being EV is a copy tube angles where you put the expanded sheet grid, bro even your dash board is a one to one copy. I'll go search through my watched list for the guy that sells the plans.
🤣 Riiight. That's hilarious. It's been 7 hours, what's taking so long? We're waiting. Compounding lies don't make them true. This isn't politics. Hurry up bro, let's see this buggy that I copied.
I know NOTHING about metal fabrication or welding or how to build a Buffy from scratch. Watching this is truly inspiring, not only that but admirable. Your skill is top notch. Hats off 👏 Great build
Wow, this is one of the nicest self made buggies I have ever seen. I cant imagine how many hours you have into this project. You even built the batteries from individual cells. That alone is quite a project! I don't know how I am just finding your channel now but I'm subbed!
It's so beautiful and has some kick! I been looking around on eBay and Facebook market for a used go-kart to convert to electric but never seem to find one that looks cool. You're custom made one blows pretty much anything I've ever seen out the market.
100% to o% charge seems to be about 277 km range. So say in reality you use 80% down to 20% for battery life you get 166km of range depending on how much you flog it in the dirt with constant on/off power application. That's a great outcome! Well done. I didn't notice it in the video but do you have a chain guard in case that lets go and starts making mince meat of anything in reach?
Incredible everything . Genius in every aspect of fabrication , and the electric is amazing …. All the buggy needs now is headlights taillights turn signals air conditioning and a stereo wow

I'd want something like this as my daily driver, but one with road tires and more modern luxuries. Made for highways and such but capable of offroad, unlike "smart" cars. And it looks good. This is, like, the perfect form factor for me. I hate sitting off-center while driving. And I'm not a family man, I don't need a family car. I don't need room for four. May be a point to a slightly longer frame for a second seat in the back, but that's not entirely necessary.
@@jasonharrison25 The center seating is almost the whole point, so yeah the Atom does nothing for me Always interesting to learn about new vehicles though.
Excellent in every way! Your video production skills are awesome as well. I hope young people out there starting their electrical / mechanical journey purchase your plans and use it as a training course; or at least watch all of your videos to get an overview of how things can get done. Wow! Congratulations on your test run.
that final drone shot with the perspective on the distant forests got a big smile on my face. The one picture that captures the dream. Amazing built, also!
You Sir, I have mad respect for you and the whole process, well put together, well thought out, intricate skills, beautiful clean work of art right there. I’d like to work on my own project, and I’m definitely not on your level (wish I could be😅) but just an ATV, and seeing you putting everything together just motivates me even more. ❤
The buggy looks great, a very slick design. I also have to compliment your video and editing skills, your attention to production and fabricating details are next level.
Well done. The simplest thing. When I saw you cut that coolant line, you went so far with the knife, and then began to use the tube for the rest of the cut. Right there . I see a man of Ingenuity and resourceful and a person that see's the value in production.
This is the most incredible thing i have seen a single person build and engineer. The editing is perfect too. I cannot express how much i enjoyed this video lol
Nice! People like you keep me motivated to tinker. I converted a cheap Chinese 4 wheeler to electric using dual 48v motors(each driving a rear wheel) a few years ago. It was fun but now I want to up my game and a project like this will help teach me to weld 😁
There are man shit videos and then there are God tier videos. THIS video highlights a God among men. He just casually builds what he needs and talks shop like we are his peers. No my guy, you are a genius and I'm taking notes with a crayon. I need to step my game up.
I've heard this commentary before ? "We were goin up river in a sort of plastic patrol boat" ! Awesome build tho dude, especially the batteries, very nice !
As a high stoner, i find your build both enjoyable and handy while is sip this aaaaaaaged scotch - single malt of course - while slowly puffing away at a mild cohiba from paradise while quietly listening to Dvorak's - Serenade for strings in E minor twas a grand eve indeed.
I've seen lots of homemade e go karts and off-road buggies and this is by far the best one I've seen yet. This doesn't look homemade it looks like it was factory built. Well done sir.
I'm full of envy! the good one!, I wish I could make things like this by my self. I couldn't avoid to notice you strugling with that steering wheel design... I believe you have 2 options: A) Going back to design/functional basics with a regular round one, or B) Make the steering rack movement ratio bigger, that would allow you to turn more with less travel. Cheers from Argentina
It seems like you describe the entire build as 'nothing fancy'. And while I would say I know what kind of skill and effort actually goes into craftsmanship like this, you make the process look just like that. After all, for someone who knows what they're doing, the lack of a gasoline drivetrain really makes this build comparatively simple.
Fantastic project. Love how it looks like it has horns, and you could just put it as-is on the Moon or Mars and it would just go. Space exploration chariot, unleash and enjoy 😄

not only that but one that goes like 80 miles an hour. The stock Honda Suzuki that I own can only go 40 max

Thanks! Got a few kinks to work out though. I'm uploading another video on this machine in a day or two that explains.
Thanks!
My pleasure, thank you!
You're doing ASMR so much better than the people who are "doing ASMR"
Building out the front end is always been a mystery that was great thank you
I'm full of envy! the good one!, I wish I could make things like this by my self. I couldn't avoid to notice you strugling with that steering wheel design... I believe you have 2 options: A) Going back to design/functional basics with a regular round one, or B) Make the steering rack movement ratio bigger, that would allow you to turn more with less travel.

You have absolutely no idea how well you speak chinese.. Hats off, very nice project !
It seems like you describe the entire build as 'nothing fancy'. And while I would say I know what kind of skill and effort actually goes into craftsmanship like this, you make the process look just like that. After all, for someone who knows what they're doing, the lack of a gasoline drivetrain really makes this build comparatively simple.
not to mention the detail, the colour scheme of black and orange is real nice and a top quality paint job
it resembles the Ariel Nomad but it makes sparks not flames!!! nice piece of art you did there!
Bro ur a god! I think I just found my new idol
Fantastic project. Love how it looks like it has horns, and you could just put it as-is on the Moon or Mars and it would just go. Space exploration chariot, unleash and enjoy 😄
It sounds like a speeder from Star Wars, which makes it even better haha great build!
"Oh thats cool"
" I like the way he done that"
"Damn, ive never thought about that"
"Awesome"
Some of my inner dialog while watching this.
Cool I'm a retired fabricator and mechanical engineer and you done a excellent job !
It amazes me how a man in a garage can build an awesome electric vehicle that is capable of highway speeds but major manufacturers seem to have issues
