[@zackweeder115]

Tech tip I learned from an old man working at an O'reillys, you can use cheap fuel line that's sold by the foot off a roll in place of vacuum lines, its way overkill for the vacuum pressure and it wont rot out on you like the vacuum lines will, also great for spots that need to be resistant to stuff like mud and small rocks being thrown at it.

[@edwardralphsmithbezuidenho492]

Your going to get wheel hop when turning without a front differential when turning your inner wheel turn slower than the outer wheel.

[@EddSjo]

I mean, not the greatest concern when offroad

[@waltcomotorsports3994]

he is using locking/unlocking hubs on the end of it, so selectable 4wd and can be 2wd and not hop around when on solid ground

[@MrBenstero]

It won't hop but it will screech on pavement and the turning radius won't be as good. Had a few offroaders with locked diffs. It will also be harder on the components overall. Great build though, keep it up my dude

[@musicauthority9939]

It might on pavement and hard packed dirt. but probably not on the softer dirt, it will probably be light enough that it will sort of drag one wheel and dig up the ground a little bit. it will basically be like any four wheel drive with lockers front and rear. it will have probably a little odd handling characteristics. and it might not be perfect for all types of terrain. but he's going to make it unlockable so he shouldn't have any issues.

[@Ratkill9000]

Dirt is soft enough where the tires will just skid. Plus the front is selectable to be locked or unlocked so that won't be an issue for pavement.

[@coreyfuchs730]

This guy builds some badass shit...

[@MdmTribe]

Amazing skills Bro with every video.

[@reviewaccount469]

So far I like it. Looks super beafy. I like the idea of a transfer case(2w, 4w-lo, 4w-hi), maybe using the 2-speed "trans" you built a couple years ago with an extra engagement. Instead of dogs though I wish you could engineer a friction plate for engagement like a flywheel and clutch disc.

[@htmmotoring]

Awesome! I've been waiting for a 4WD buggy since I've been subbed to the channel years ago. Mad machining skills btw Chris. It seems like this Mid-Drive shaft concept of yours is proving to be quite practical for chain drive systems. I'm excited to see how this turns out! I have a feeling this will be your best build yet.

[@TrulyUnfortunate]

As a 30 year machinist it's really cool seeing your skills improve over the years.

[@projectbumblejeep4190]

I've noticed, over the years, you do mostly chain drives. Guessing it's because of the size of you vehicles. Have you considered using a differential from something like a Toro? Might allow you to use drive shafts instead of chain drives. Just a thought. Hope this helps. God bless, stay well.

[@ratherBweldingChris]

In the future I would like to start building stuff with drive shafts. But for now I like to see what I can do with chain drive

[@AARONLT25]

Easier to adjust the gearing too but I'm not sure if you can do that with shafts.

[@MrMbuttron]

@@ratherBweldingChris i have 2 snowmobiles if you want them i live in chicago

@@MrMbuttron OOH! New Project!! I'd like to see him make an amphibious 6 or 8 wheeler! There is a father and son team on KZbin that just got one (and one parts machine) old school six wheeler, with a two-stroke twin w/snowmobile style torque converter. And it has a Jet Drive in the rear! It's in pretty rough shape but I think (I hope) they are determined to get it running. I want to see how that jet drive works.

[@franksprecisionguesswork501]

I did that using an old ford pinto differential. The spider case was almost completely closed , so I just welded up the two holes and machined a sprocket to fit where the ring gear would go. Turned down the axel stubs for a few thousands friction fit and pressed them into the spider gears. Put a blob of grease on the spiders before assembly…. Never had a problem, drove my “hillbilly quad runner” for at least 20 years. It’s great see what a person can do when they set their mind to it.

[@explodinganvil1006]

I would still love to see him eventually build a vehicle with a Triumph Rocket 3 Engine. loads of low end torque and still great rpm with an even better sound coming from it. love what you do, keep it up!

Polaris has done some interesting drives in the past. Chain 4wd with a CV shaft independent front end. The can be hard to find now but they had a hi/lo/reverse box that was a dual output chain

Looks like a good start, and would be fun with anything over 400hp. Na, too many broken chains. 140hp. Lol

[@สมบูรณ์พุ่มพวง-ฑ1ฉ]

งานสร้างได้ความรู้ชอบมากครับ

[@HiFi5i]

Could get a decent amount of weight out of that center part by making the hubs on it more like the hubs on those CV axles, where the portions of the hub between the bolt holes is cut out some.

[@alistairshanks5099]

On Isuzu/Chev Troopers [mid-1980s] the front 4wd hub locks were operated by the direction of drive. You engage 4wd and drive off ramp pins lock the hub, disengage 4wd and the wheel drives the hub and unlocks the ramp pins. Sometimes you may have to use reverse to unlock them if they stick. they called them Automatic hubs.

[@owen1246]

An air hydraulic press seems like it would be a life changer for making key ways, my arm would be tired after a couple

[@neilmchardy9061]

When you cut the keyways on the shaft you should use a “slot” drill a two tooth milling cutter, and cut it it one pass very slowly. That way you will get an accurate slot, if you use an endmill with multiple passes the slot will be oversize. 40+ years precision machinist.

Pshh!! You call that lathe setup sketchy! You should see my current setup for stainless steel can I've got going on right now! Great job on this project!! Really enjoying it!

[@suzukiman650]

Curious why you use nuts and bolts on the hub plates instead of tapping the holes for the bolts? Plates seem plenty thick to be able to do that.

[@colbygillette]

polaris made a quad the xplorer and it had a chain drive part time 4x4 driveline that is very cool, i personally have one of these and when i firts bought it it was soo cool to figure out how they made it work

[@sazafrass]

Hey, is there a reason not to lathe welds? I don't think I saw you remove any material from the actual welds so I'm wondering if it's considered bad practice.

[@markwood9751]

Yea bad practice. especially on a single pass weld if you tried cleaning that up on the lathe it would just about separate the 2 parts again. There is pretty much no 'excess' material on that weld. Think he did run over the weld on the mating surface between the hub and the Cvs, but they were big multi pass welds and only just looked like he faced them off for clearance.
