Building Custom Spindles for my Next Big Project - Part 5

[@JGF13667]

Your skill set has grown a lot in the past few years, one has to wonder what you’ll be creating in a few more years down the road, good work and a great channel my friend. ✌🏻😎

[@bryduhbikeguy]

Where do the Calipers mount on those?For the love of all;Please clamp stuff on the drill press.I was cringing as the parts shook.Great work Chris.Can't wait for the next vids.

[@dukie1616]

Could’ve watched another 2 hours of this build and still be interested and entertained. Cool build

[@kcraig51]

I've been machining 35 yrs. Having arms whipping around in a lathe still makes me pucker. Never become complacent around such things, that's when it'll getcha!

[@laymanengineer7502]

This is really good advice! When you stop being afraid of the sketchy stuff is when bad thigs happen. 30 yr construction / electrician.

[@dodgeme1986truck]

He could've done the same thing with the lathe with the spindles fixated to the cross slide with a bore fly cutting tool chucked into his lathe and it would've been safer... the lathe is quite truly the only machine that can make a complete duplicate of itself

[@briankuhn7396]

That whole steering knuckle assembly spinning on the lathe was terrifying. Watch your appendages! Amazing work there.

[@curtbelshe]

Resourceful, all I can say is that you are very resourceful. Always enjoy watching your videos.

[@Sev_Auk]

This one's going to be epic Chris! :) Love to watch your progression into new endeavors. Cheers, Sev

[@larrydavidson3402]

Chris you keep getting better and better at your fabrication skills. I wish I had a third of your talents. You are totally on top of your game.

[@jaysunkreuze1466]

Excellent choices. But know this first, if ever there was a time and option to beef up the Trans clutch, this is it. That is where all the drive train stress will be concentrated with those huge tires no matter how low the gearing is. Of all your builds this one is by far the most interesting. I do agree with your Polaris viewpoint, minus the CVT system.

[@jlucasound]

I didn't even think of that! You are absolutely right! Bike clutches are designed (typically) to drive one wheel and haul less than 700lbs.. He will need a super duty racing clutch.

[@jaysunkreuze1466]

@@jlucasound Yep. There is a guy that put a Hyabusa engine on a Razr and he had to use a cvt clutch from a razr because no clutch could hold the torque he produced from that turbo engine. If he was building a cross kart then the original clutch would work but this build will be far heavier than 700 lbs, being a 2 seater with how heavy he builds everything.

[@tngtacticalmiata1219]

Can't wait to see this one grow into a badass offroad rig! Well done, bro!

[@ratherBweldingChris]

Thanks man

[@jpsspeedgarage7168]

You should look into Holley EFI Stand-alone system. They might sponsor you if you reach out to them. I have Holley EFI, Terminator X system on my buggy and I love it!! Your builds are getting really good!!

[@kevinhornbuckle]

Good advice.

[@davidspilman531]

I’ll tell you what I just can’t get over how great you are as a Machinist you make everything look so easy !! That motor looks like a Speeding ticket to me 😂I’m glad I found your channel I can’t wait for part 3 Thank you

[@Rommi4x4]

I've been following for a while and I can't emphasize enough the difference between him riding his poorly lifted go kart 6 years ago and what he has become today. Quite amazing progress!

[@gillesmallette2548]

I am Canadian living in Russia. You are my weekly dose of "WOW"!!! Awesome built everytime. When does the reverse trike will be revisited? 😋

[@joshuaatkins5197]

Awesome! Little tip, set the rim on a 5 gallon bucket when mounting. Lets the tire flop over a bit.

[@pet6171]

This is looking good, gonna be a beast, hope it's smooth sailing

[@gohphaqurselfeeputhy622]

My blood pressure rises every time I see you drilling a hole in something without it clamped down. Holy duck now you’re spinning some sketchy shit on the lathe 😂😂😂😂😂lol

[@sgermain06]

Hayabusa is serious business! Those engines also LOVE turbos.

[@MrBennyboyC]

Love thr first few videos of these projects.

[@Skiridr22]

Oh boy you’re going to be making some serious power 😊

[@GodschildinNC]

Nice build! Even before you said it I thought that the spindle in the lathe was scary. I should come out to the mountains, and hang out for a day with you.

[@keatisakdaroj9415]

เยี่ยมมาก ทำเอง ทุกอย่าง ฝีมือจริงๆ ติดตามครับ ชอบมาก

[@aserta]

Man... even without the wraps off, i recognized that engine. :)) Your neighbor's gonna be piiiiisssed :))

[@Slashebeest]

This is going to be an awesome build, looking forward to the next episode !!

[@danwebber9494]

This mirrors my own custom spindle plan. Choose tires, estimate scrub radius and kingpin angle, weld stuff to an off the shelf hub. Repeat.

[@dougjohnson6265]

you are one very talented man...keep up the great work Chris....every week i say i can't wait to see the next video

[@racingfortheson]

Remember, 8.8 grade on metric bolts is like a grade 5 bolt. You need grade 10.8 metric to be equal to a grade 8 bolt.

[@dylanrucker1945]

I love watching your work you got a very design setup and mad fab skillz love you work post as much as you can. You might be genies

[@DirtGearTv]

Boosted Hayabusa Yaasssss?! This is going to be an epic build 🤘

[@ratherBweldingChris]

Yes! You may have to help me figure out what turbo I need and how to set it up

[@VillainState]

Awesome watching you design stuff mate well done!

[@lukeandolino8768]

Rockabilly’s are awesome tires. A couple of guys I ride with have them, and we have yet to find a spot they don’t work. Killer in the rocks, good in mud, and have a long lifespan!

[@grantbuxton]

Dude you're getting really good! It's awesome watching your progression! Keep up the good work!

[@davidbowser2395]

You should do an add on to your shed for bigger builds. This has got to be the biggest build yet. It’s gotta least twice the size bigger than the rock crawler you did once it’s done. Keep up the awesome work.

[@robertdecrock4038]

I like how you start from ground 0 and grow

[@juluan289]

I hope there is no problem in the first test ... because you only have 1 (M8) bolt in the center of front axle

[@kirstenspencer3630]

Yeah spinning the " king pins " in the lath terrified me too !

[@LiveFreeOrRIP]

You dont need that much travel. You are on the right path for sure!!!

[@stevewilson3688]

In 2006 I bought a new Hayabusa. I still have it and have wanted to do this. I'm watching with envy. They hit really strong at 6k rpm. Its a beast! A turbo will be frightening.

[@GhostedEgo]

The video is over already? Felt like I just started watching it. Great work man , I can't wrap my head around the way your mind works. You make it look very easy.

[@stevenpleasant5834]

Hi Chris your king pin should be in line with each other were a rod can pass thru both bolt holes look at Jeep spindles like on a Cherokee.

[@distant4766]

Pro tip for you bud. Use the angle of the floor and your bench to stomp the bead in on the deeper side of the rim. Then turn it around hook up air and use your foot to apply a tiny amount of pressure inward to get the bead to seat on the shallow side of the rim. Keep angle enough so as it inflates it doesn't bind between ground and bench.

[@ASFerreira]

Your are great! Continue with your garage 👍😁

[@adamengland2519]

Keep up the good work it is very interesting.

[@janoel6822]

Hey the new pick-up looks Awesome I don't know how I missed that one .👍

[@Rhenzkiller]

I wanna see Chris make a camper from scratch in the future.

[@Fabrice1970]

Beautiful CAD (card board assisted) design

[@VijayPatel-mn4mc]

BHAI, you are awesome..love from India❤️

[@aeroflopper]

did you have the core in the valve stem when you was inflating, they seat quicker with no core in.

[@impossible1]

Cool engine. TURBO IT!

[@nicolec7290]

Love the tires

[@joelbower8908]

Waiting for that drill press to do some damage to them fingers.

[@tristanmcnabb2741]

Allsome work my friend 😊🎉🌟👍👌 from cruzermans inventions 😁👍

[@edwardweisenburg16]

Awesome 👍😎

[@lamegame247gaming6]

Amazing work so far 👍

[@robertdecrock4038]

Smart engineer

[@rolfmuller4738]

Deine Videos werden immer besser. Stark!

[@jlucasound]

You need help, Chris. We all see where this is heading. What next? A Unimog? A Sherp?! This can lead to Hummers (First Gen)!! Before you know it, you are blowing up Mountainsides with Andrew Camarata!! Stop now, before it's too late! 🤣😂 ❤

[@ÁREAJ27]

Projeto Top de mais!!! Boa sorte!!!

[@technerdy]

Call Ricks Custom Cycle in Michigan. They make tons of badass parts for these engines and can maybe point you in the direction of a turbo, jetting, etc

[@szym86]

I use metric system. Make sure that the metric bolts for your spindle have good strenght written on them for example "5.8" "8.8" "10.9" Usually 10.9 is the right one. It is commonly used in car suspension or engine heads.

[@coreyrominger9157]

Sometimes setting a bead you can bounce the tire or hit it with a rubber deadblow hammer the impact is sometimes enough to set it.

[@ALWhiteAuthor]

Just run longer CV axles so the arc of the tire is traveling a longer distance increasing suspension travel. Are you going to run your inner hingepins closer together than on the spindle to get a camber gain on compression?

[@jaysunkreuze1466]

I agree, those cv axles are too short for any decent travel.

[@ratherBweldingChris]

Yep, I’m going to have to lengthen the cv axles about 8 inches or so

[@SomeGuyInSandy]

15:40 Whoo!

[@MsBrouzouf]

According to This Old Tony, the metric system is used by 15/16 of the world !

[@tasospotsepis141]

Nice work, love your videos

[@JinushiProjects]

Just a tip for fuel pump, regular automotive ones will work fine, the critical thing is flow and rail pressure, you can purchase a 4-6 bar pump and use a regulator to bring it down to 3.25 bars, so if you do turbo (yeah 6 bar pump thus be better than 4 bar), raising rate type regulator would be ideal and just add additional pressure which will also increase amount of fuel flow

[@Ben-rm9jx]

are you going to add gussets to the tabs that your ball joints are bolted to?

[@aarenkrier1110]

Can't wait to see what this project becomes please please put a turbo on it

[@berbandis]

Could you lengthen the shaft on the CV joints to get a little more travel? It would make the vehicle a little wider and it would take some math to figure out how much travel increase you would get from each additional inch but it may be worth it if you are planning some large jumps or rock crawling with this vehicle. You did say you were not planning to use a differential so maybe you could get more lenth in the CV joint shafts by making the center mouting point as narrow as possible. Just thinking out loud here.

[@urbanjansson4408]

Off course you need turbskies on that engine 👌👍🤓

[@joebufford2972]

I love it when you have something chucked up to the lathe and you said that's not terrifying at all. There's a sarcastic. Good grief. What could go wrong lol

[@_zzpza]

Engine - called it! :D

[@dozzed]

this basically a Mazda Miata engine! :D

[@diogoazevedo684]

You could make a limited slip dif, witha a clutch pack, like one smal disc rotor with 2 or pairs of brake pads and make it adjustable, Could be better for stearing

[@blainethompson6583]

its time to build you a mini skid steer next man.

[@camoking5059]

At the beginning of the video, why don’t you use the old brake cleaner and lighter truck to set the tire on the bead? Not being critical, just wondering if there is a better way to do that or if you just prefer the other method

[@Rags2Wrenches]

I’ve held the pressure to some tires and they took 140+ psi to set when you pop a couple it’ll no longer scare you.

[@Enigma-Sapiens]

Those tires are a lot of rotational mass Chris, are you sure your axles & suspension will be able to handle them?

[@EddSjo]

Easily

[@Enigma-Sapiens]

​@@EddSjo, I wasn't talking to you, I was asking Chris...

[@ratherBweldingChris]

We will soon see

[@Enigma-Sapiens]

@@ratherBweldingChris, Ok, I just wondered if you had done any calculations to ensure they would work without destroying everything. Thanks.

[@russtuff]

At this rate I expect to see on madram in a year or two driving a home made rock bouncer 😁

[@D-DAY]

Looking good, your probably already aware but if you decide you want more angle the subaru inner tripod cv joint limits travel .By using porsche type 944 or 930 cv shafts you get more angle as they have the outer joints on both ends.

[@rossfricke2010]

Impressive 💪

[@htmmotoring]

You can put a lot of Air no problem in the tyres dont be afraid lathe IS way more scary!! I do tyres and you need a lot of psi to set the bead but its very safe just keep your fingers away!!

[@darrenhobson2244]

1 of my top channels if not the best I have to say. Nice find 👌at the scrappy. Damd that's a sweet engine. looking forward as always to the end result. Good luck mate hope it all goes smoothly 4 ya....

[@moisesramirez4516]

If you extend those axles (like you have done in the past) you can get a bit more travel out of them.

[@jamesbull187]

As always awesome vid🤙🏾 maybe drive shafts off a 4x4 (jeep) Land Rover I don’t know if they have more travel ?

[@jstephenallington8431]

$45 bucks for all of that aluminum?! What a score! I wish I could have bought it. (p.s. you need to look into a independent four jaw chuck, they are many times easier to set-up oddball parts on the lathe. )

[@Boostedlifestyle]

i need this im trying to figure out spindles for my f1000 car

[@1one3_Racing]

Just get a lock on air chuck and set the regulator on your compressor at 50psi. Then just turn it on and walk away. The bead seats itself.

[@richardgooding498]

Not sure but. If the camera says anything. I was watching your videos on a few of the vehicles you built. I think the alignment of the front tires are off is the reason for bad handling at speed. Great job man on everything for sure

[@arvidnorberg3530]

I would reconsider using a differential in front, otherwise steering radius will be terrible and heavy, maybe you can find a locking differential if its neccesary to do so. This is just a recommendation of mine and propably others, considering the effort you put in to this and many other projects🙂 Edit: I heard about the locking hubs😅

[@president2]

Love it keep it up ❣️

[@walkerfablab]

6-8° caster angle. And try and run a 30/70 ratio or 40/60 30% of shock shaft stuck out and the last 70% for down travel and landing! Hopefully that makes sense

[@allensnook7760]

Gonna be incredible,i was shocked you didnt go thicker on spindle plates,but if its weak point you can build thicker next time at least you have concept layed out!love watching ur mind flex,snookie pa.would be great if you and vasily builds collaberated on a project!snookie pa.💥👍💥

[@loudelvis610]

My thought too....but I bet it gets beefed up with a bunch of plates

[@flatline07]

I am in North Carolina also pretty sure im about 45 minutes to an hour from your location where is the scrap yard you were speaking of

[@brianellison3525]

Looking good. Can't wait to see the layout on this one.

[@craigmacewan2037]

What tires are those!!?? Love the way they look!!

[@Omax427]

Down the line you should put rcv axle on this thing! Much stronger and more travel...

[@dbfabworks5320]

TURBO IT!!!!!!!

[@midwestbest6398]

turbo Hayabusa buggy would make a great thumbnail just sayin lol its worth the views 🤣

[@hoagiesherlin7732]

What tires are you using they look awesome
