We Broke our 1000cc Mini Trophy Truck! (But We're Not Sure How)

We started the day by backing the trophy kart out of it's parking space under my car port, thinking that we'd be installing a 5 point harness and some new rear shocks to help with jumping, but the trophy kart had other plans! It appeared that the transmission was broken- when you put it in gear and let out on the clutch, the engine would stall, and the mini trophy truck wouldn't even try to move. Turns out we had a broken piece in the transmission!

From the little bit you showed, the chunk that broke off looked like the pad of a shift fork. Makes me wonder if your linkage is producing too much leverage and damaging it when you shift.

[@handyhippie6548]

you need to get some muffin tins from a garage sale, or the dollar store to keep all of those small parts separated when you pull stuff like this apart. you can glue some small magnets to the bottoms with rtv so they stay put.

[@chevyguy5525]

Oh a 4-wheeled 670 build with a proper transmission would be so epic

[@CJLeTeff]

You need to have some type of damper in the driveline to absorb to torque from wide open to letting off the gas. The reverse torque is braking the gearbox due to the extra weight of the kart.

[@datraktorman69]

This entire series I have been thinking the shifter was going to cause problems. Finally did it haha,lasted longer than I expected.

[@carbide1968]

Yes that long shifter was bouncing the entire time just destroying the gearbox. I just now suggested paddle shifters.

[@datraktorman69]

@@carbide1968 they don't take suggestions at all haha. Really they could stick with a lever,just move it,and shorten it. Theirs is probably one of the dumbest shifter set ups I have ever saw. I get that they were going for a trophy style shifter,but them shifters are gated,cable operated,not just a heavy tube with all the leverage.

[@SportbikerNZ]

@@carbide1968 I wouldn't touch paddle shifters with a bargepoll. Awkward linkages required which are always mechanically inefficient given all the routing, and trying to mash the shifter around constantly with just your fingers is tiresome. Never a great system unless it's electronically actuated.

[@SportbikerNZ]

@@datraktorman69 Given their vids have a week or two lead time, noobs always think they don't listened when in reality they've already progressed well past that point. Not only that, but 99% of the suggestions are from mechanically inept couch potatoes who don't have a clue, and are thumbed up be equally stupid people. I reckon the shifter would have been fine on a better gearbox. Given it's done 80K hard wheelie miles, the shifter return spring and everything else is probably getting sloppy. Fuss over nothing.

Another awesome video guys

[@wallyhaskett6737]

Case to case joint clean with some cleaner like brake cleaner (example) the use Honda bond. best bonding for cases you will ever use. No Leaks guys. All your bolts in those cases need to be torqued even if it is not called for in the book. You can get torque specs on the size and thread of bolts. Invest in a nice torque wrench 3/8 or 1/2 inch you will find that you will be using it all the time. Remember the Honda Bond. Great stuff!

[@waymoretheoutlaw5895]

A LOT of valuable lessons were learned on this day. But on the bright side it happened at home and not 5 miles from everything on a trail somewhere

[@Xxjoker21xX]

The Shift Lever you have it is over Extending the Shift Forks you need shift stops to keep from breaking the Transmission shift forks AKA Dogs! Also i think as you Ride the Kart the shifter flops Back and forth trying to change Gears it self and can cause issues you need some kind of a shock Absorber to stabilize it!

[@DetroitMicroSound]

The old cinder block shop NEEDS TO STAY PART OF THE C&C complex! (I think Ike's with me, here! It's where the "board" stays.... ...just make it sound, and maybe transition it to studio, and more "cozy" purposes... a place for visitors in future, etc.... You want a tunnel for the prop shaft to move freely within, and have lots of range of movement.

[@lightcapmath2777]

Great job. love to have seen the inside of the "gear box"... keep the faith. DVD:)

You guys never give up. Nice

[@Carolina_Squid]

In one of our drag busa's the trans was pretty rough inside and 2 of the 4 dogs got cut out. Bike runs and shifts great. Roll on.

[@rjc862003]

Your right on your floppy shifter setup was bouncing around on change up and beating the hell out of the tranny slamming the sliders and the dogs is what crushed that

Hope you're going to do the clutch while you're in there. It's apart, you'll thank yourself in the future.

[@letsgopedal4249]

I would love to see what kind of top speed you could get out of a predator 212 with a 5spd. Also it's worth mentioning. I sont know if it's new but at harbor frieght the other day I noticed a new size predator I've never seen before. I think it was like a 305 or something. Be interesting to experiment with. See how similar it is to a 212 or 420. Maybe some of the parts could swap over to push some more displacement out of a 212. I'd also put a new clutch in while your there.

[@buckykattguitar]

Those dogs are notorious for breaking off. I had a trans torn down for new seals and bearings and there was 1 gear that only had 1 dog left on it....still rode and shifted normally.

[@mackattack6435]

You guys were talking about mounting that gearbox to a predator or a Briggs and Stratton. I currently have a Suzuki 1972 TS-125 with the lower end of the engine on it and it’s powered by a predator 212. Had to modify the frame a little but it is awesome to ride. If you want to see it let me know!

[@Z_732]

I'm wondering if the "slipping" driveshaft joint didn't actually start the problem.. by creating a bind. And under large loads it could cause some serious trouble to moving parts. Even if its not, I seriously recommend fixing that issue while its down. Because I know it dont take too much force in the wrong spot and wrong direction (Im implying a force shoving against the output shaft) for it to cause a lot of minor misalignments inside an otherwise tight fitting gearbox. (Speaking from my own experience building projects) NICE work fellas! Good stuff thanks for the vid!
