Hey Chris i know your super busy but is it possible to get all your builds in one place for a car update?

[@nicohellmuth5275]

[@harryguy76]

Is it just me...or a trick of the camera...or does the wheel base look about 2 feet too long???

[@citizen77750]

I suggest the car name to be B-One

Fits perfectly rear-facing in our truck, which has a slightly smaller back seats. kzbin.infoUgkx6_FKRYB2ClSPRyjcd8HptiCS3EiQoNX4 Feels as comfy and plush as our Graco Contender carseat

[@wottle-b335]

I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again. You should call the car “A.S.S” and it should stand for “Apocalyptic Single Seater”

[@FoxRacer090]

how much road clearance do you want? chris: no

[@TimFabok]

Its an apocalypse, let's just make it as functional as an F1 race car for all your post apocalyptic gear.

[@verifiedoffcomments9955]

"take that to the lawyer" 😂😂😂😂😂

[@travelingkaspersworld4096]

You could tie lawyers to the front and rear like bumper covers. Only paint may not stick to the greasy surface

[@benjaminchen4830]

So many lawyer comments lol

[@jonk5411]

The top hoop looks a little short for good head protection in a roll-over

[@MrCybergladiator]

most racing categories have a minimum clearance between the top of the helmet and the ground in the flipped state in all cases, not just based on where the center of gravity is. hopefully he fixes it

[@jonk5411]

MrCybergladiator I agree. And with a hard impact during a roll over, the top hoop will bend inwards. The more room over the head, the better.

[@Gabriel2.0]

his neck must be very strong

[@morkovija]

I honestly don't remember last time somebody rolled over in a custom car like this. It always gets built like it's going to do rallying or something, and then it gets towed from show to show and that's it

[@jonk5411]

1.5x playback everything - thank me later then what’s the point of having any roll cage? I’m only saying it’s low because Chris is trying to justify it based on the car’s center of gravity and trying to justify how safe it will be. If he’s just going to bring it to the next SEMA then it shouldn’t need any roll cage

[@romagrigorenko]

“Take that to the bank...or to the lawyers” 😂

[@PedroFandango]

brave to suggest lawyers after the Mustang lol

[@eagleleopard]

Why didn’t you build the frame to fit at the bottom of the suspension where the subframe is and then build towers to hold the upper control arms? That would keep the weight of the car lower and improve handling. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a car built with the frame at the top and everything suspended beneath it.

This is absolutely insane! This is so far beyond any other KZbin build I've ever seen! It is so awesome that you are building a single seater formula style from scratch! I'm freaking blown away lol

[@thenut1212]

I love how in the rendering, you’re in the cockpit, holding a melting strawberry ice cream cone!

[@funnyzoneboy8259]

No it is the wheel🤦🏻‍♂️

[@jf5600]

work ethic and skill is amazing. my honest feedback, I would try to keep the subframes the lowest point on the chassis, keep the bottom of the cockpit level with them and I would shorten the wheelbase significantly. i think those two things will actually help make the car much more usable to actually drive. i know you have a ton of cars that you don't need to actually have this be that functional, but it would be cool to actually be able to drive it on a somewhat regular basis. good luck and I'm looking to stayed tuned

[@TheRSGarage]

Love the progress on it, but still think you could fit two seats and 2 engines in this, inline! It will no doubt come out great but for usability I think making it about 5ft shorter would be so much more usable!

[@Grumpy_old_Boot]

You should probably have a bar between the frame rails, that stops the engine from moving forward and crushing you and your seat, during an accident. It could also double as a holder for the seatbelt straps.

[@alexandrebeaudoin2225]

He said he will be adding support bars and this is just the "main" skeleton

[@CarlosFandango73]

You know the saying "if it looks right, it probably is right"? Well, This doesn't look right

[@benhar99]

B is for build Wouldn’t it have been more structural to have one piece of steel tube the full length required and bend it rather than a cut for the bend in the frame? Loving the builds

[@mesh_alg]

You said that it’s too long, but the truth is that I didn’t even felt it, it was so enjoyable to watch! So excited to see the car rolling under its own power!

[@gtd6288]

Jesus, it's got the length of a stretch limo but at high speed. With no safety features. Awesome. You go dude.

[@fryreartechnology7611]

Hopefully you’ll do axel lifts for the front and rear to keep from dragging. Also cool idea to put the air lifts like race cars have to pit stops. 4 pneumatic cylinders to lift the car. Can’t remember if it is F1 or Indy cars that do that... but it’d be awesome.

Did you remember to include your own weight in the flip scenario you thought out. I would be less worried about coming to rest that way, but to take some rolls like that...please think that out more.

[@dorinbugnar5930]

I think you better build an arch and make an suspension tower, it might be easyer and you would have more adjustability for the coilovers

[@avgFloridian]

Watching Chris build a tube frame car is... something else.

[@562LBLegend]

Holy wheel base batman. That thing could high center on a toothpick when it's done

[@VR6NAVYVW]

I dont know if you seen the videos but Tim McAmis has great videos on making frames and body's for race cars. Lot of good knowledge.

[@JonDoeSecure]

Don't forget about ground clearance at speed when you have down force.

[@shellcase2857]

What you need is two roll hoops, one somewhere infront of the steering wheels, and one behind the driver, model yourself with a helmet and make sure that if you put a straight line between the hoops you have at least 2 inches of clearance for the helmet. This is how it's done in formula race cars.

[@trevormitchell7232]

This entire video was... tubular!

[@legendmusic8131]

Stunning shots great effort! Does anyone else also almost only listen to heavy music like Metallica or Delta Parole when they drive?

[@boedekerj1]

You may want to send your wireframe model to an aerospace person and make sure you’re not building a massive airfoil that will have you literally leaving the earth at 120MPH. Just a suggestion. Love your vids!

[@Yathartha_Singh]

Just a suggestion, integrating the lower frame to the front and rear subframes would help you in getting a very rigid chassis and help in improving the handling characteristics too probably

[@milsgarage]

[@chaseweeks2708]

Since this entirely custom, my vote is to go full Mike Patey on the carbon fiber body panels. Since you wouldn't be trying to match something machine stamped, you could fudge everything around on the molds/forms. And it would look freaking awesome.

[@mato1943]

Chris F1 cars use skid blocks on the floor, made out of magnesium so that they spark when they touch the ground but few years back they were made out of plywood so that they dont spark it sound like something that might be a good idea to include into the design

[@NotJo4Ever13]

LOL, crunchy crunchy point. I love it.

[@rohitkulkarni834]

You should add air suspension so you can adjust them while driving and at the press of a button you could get over speed bumps

The 3D model is the exact copy of the Mclaren MP4X, so be carefull with that I guess

[@austinhamann704]

100% not sure if the lawyers will care if he builds a real version of a fictional video game concept car- but licensing is a major factor in racing games, so worth making sure it's looking different.

[@boxr_4214]

as long as he doesn’t call it a mclaren mp4x i think it’s fine. that’s how GTA gets away with stuff.

[@dozenfaun]

@@boxr_4214 also.. GTA always mix 2 cars together so the design isnt like the real car. If its really a copy of the design... He may have trouble... Again !

[@InvisibilityComment]

Surely the breakover angle of that will be next to nothing... It'll be a struggle going anywhere with that wheelbase

[@ToWi1989]

its not all about ground clearance, but also ramp angle. With that major overhang on the front wheels you will still have issues with the smallest of bumps, in addition to massive unsprung weight.

I love B is for build , but am I the only one that thinks it’s looking like a coffin? Be careful driving this thing man 💯

[@philspartan176]

its 4 inches to low buddy ,the bottom should not be lower than the front and rear cross member ,not only does that ensure you get the full suspension travel but also prevents the cage impacting the ground

[@mustangmike5324]

Love the project! You'll wish you would have raised that tub an inch or 2. The long wheel base will cause you problems. Just saying, if you are going to drive on the streets. 4.5" is not enough on my ride...

[@Z32orDIe]

Break away floorboard sounds amazing and case of an accident however with how small your cockpit is that is impossible as you cannot climb through a seat and your seat can not be detachable and still be regulation safety.

[@mikem547]

What an awesome build! So excited to see part 2 and the rest of the videos. Just a suggestion or thought provoking question as you see it... Have you considered using a fuel blatter (or multiple) behind the driver seat like f1 cars have? Would be really unique and allow you to save some room to fit in tight spaces.

[@Kjjk22]

Lmao I love how he’s still throwing shade at the lawyers 😂

[@TheDicrio]

having a low clearance short wheelbase car is hard enough, with the wheelbase of a truck you're going to high center on everything.
