I really like the small "fail"-clips at the end of the video

[@iansmith5052]

Me too

[@Jeshter2000]

So do I

[@esqueue]

I agree. I laughed so hard at the suspension one.

[@sharrkerr]

Согласен, нужно подлиннее сделать a little.

[@iansmith5052]

Иван м same bro

[@pondmonserfox]

Best build yet, definitely. The rear suspension looks perfect to me, plenty of droop for big jumps and the spring rate looks just about perfect. The front however, does look a little stiff. It might soften up once you start mounting the pedals and other stuff on the front. I would definitely mount the battery up front to balance the weight if you can, it looks tight up there though.

[@that_red_dentside3968]

Maybe the gas tank should be mounted in the front as well

[@Sacred421]

Agreed. If you soften the rear it'll be too soft for any speed. Front is stiff though.

[@GunFunZS]

Agreed. And maybe stick the radiator and a bumper up there. No suspension tuning until every thing else is there.

[@Shredxcam22]

You need to do a 4wd buggy. Get a salvage sxs for the drive traine The shape of the buggy is sweet Get your weight before ordering new springs. Then re valve the shocks to tune it

[@Hellsong89]

Yeap. Perfect excuse to make this thing 4x4 since front needs more weight anyways and suspension should be done when all the weight is on the machine. Also needs anti-roll bars, since there is so much body roll with this setup.

[@Shredxcam22]

@@Hellsong89 as light as the front is, I keep picturing ve based dune buggies hitting the hills with the rock bouncers. He could do wide tall rear tires and small front ones

[@richardpotter3788]

Hello, the video is very good, how can I get the construction plans?

[@cinnamonrollypoly]

I would leave the front suspension the way it is until you've had the chance to take it out for a test spin. Once you get your weight in the frame, it might be enough to smooth out the ride.

[@butchs.4239]

Agreed. The should be a fair amount of weight added once the floor & skidplate is on it. Add a winch and mount the battery up front, stuff like that.

[@hrsey71]

I think for the rear, yes. but the front is way too stiff. there's no droop at all

[@deadslow201]

Add some additional mounting points towards centerline for the lower end of the front suspension. Then you have adjustable leverage ratio/ adjustable front suspension stiffness.

[@jauned]

Maybe one horizontal of these shocks instead of two...

[@cinnamonrollypoly]

@@deadslow201 I like that idea. Mounting the bottom of the shock on the lower control arm closer to the frame of the kart will increase the leverage of the wheel going over bumps, and soften the ride.

[@carabela125]

Get some various size welding magnets to hold parts in place for tacking. Maybe the fuel tank can go in the front for more weight balance.

[@johnrichardson4327]

That thing is turning out badass! I vote for a larger tire in the rear

[@dozer1642]

The tire size to suspension travel ratio just feels off to me.

[@NeoIsrafil]

I love it. It being so tall means when she jumps shes gonna be epic! No bottoming out. Just perfect man, don't mess with it, just finish her up! :D I love how tall she is, you go softer and she's gonna roll, but if you keep her tight like that she'll slide nicely.

[@MaNNeRz91]

Outtakes are brilliant makes me feel less of an idiot when I mess up too 😂😂

[@VermontPaintandPhoto]

i enjoyed the ending. the sound of rain is a nice relaxing way to end

[@Tampaboys]

This build is so clean buddy great work I agree with that shock tower mount looks way better with the straight piece and stronger

[@slimsqde7397]

hey, idk if its just me, but the audio is super quiet, so maybe check that, but the videos great and youve been putting a ton of work into this thing. its gonna be a beast for sure.

[@richardreinhard8864]

fabricating new things and fabricating the same thing 30, 40 times is completely different. I don't think Chris would like working in a fab shop.( does he have a 9 to 5 job?)

[@BrianW2979]

@@richardreinhard8864 yeah, iv'e always wondered if he has a 9-5 and what it is.

[@StupidEarthlings]

No. Employers want people that can take instruction, NOT vary from it ..at all. They want button pushers, and repetative motion types. Not that this guy has ANY eng skills at ALL. (*SEE VIDS FROM 3-4 YRS AGO). Yea, impressive to ~ 14 yo...

[@TrulyUnfortunate]

I think the front suspension is just fine.When you try and compress the suspension on a grippy surface ,like wood, the tires dont want to move outwards with the compression making it feel stiff.

[@jmerwood9]

Best looking build so far, looks tough and purposeful.

[@Jonny2Fingers]

Looks amazing. Loved the vid start to finish.

[@smallgaragebigdreams6032]

I dig the bloopers! Makes every one be able to relate! Your machining skillz have improved so much Over the videos I’ve seen! Keep up the good work!

[@jeffkelzer953]

Out of all the builds you've done so far, this is by far my favorite. I may model a build off of this one sometime in the future. Can't wait to see this in action. Keep up the good work.

[@EdwardMurray06]

I love Sunday’s. Nice work man. This is your best looking project yet. The back suspension looks fine, at least until you drive it. You really don’t want it too soft. The front is just too hard.

Dude!..... I've been wanting to do this all my life! Its so cool that you're doing this. 😎 👍 I've got a motor to build one but don't have all the knowledge to build the buggy itself. So cool to see it being done though. Thank you for the videos!

[@jeremiahaustin5253]

I think this is your best looking build to date! Great job on the fab work!

[@limitlessbuilds]

Personally I wouldn’t touch the rear springs. Looks almost perfect for a smooth jumping rig. Front might be a bit stiff, but wait until you have everything mounted to be sure

[@ultramonte327]

Dam bro. You got mad skills. Great imagination. The build looks amazing so far. Can’t wait for finished product .

This thing looks so cool with the blue shocks, great job!

[@PHUSII]

Ok, just found your channel a few weeks ago and now have watched all the projects that you have made so far. I must say that you are a really smart and driven individual. With the tools you have and have made, the projects you have completed and are currently building, they are outstanding! You will do great things in life, I'm sure of it! Keep at it and you will have a bright future in fabricating! I myself am an Machinist and work as a maintenance worker in a metal factory. So here is a few tips for you, if you want to take them. :) - Use the DRO on your mill when making bolt holes that are in a circle. It has a program built in (Bolt Hole Circle or something like that) it and its really easy to use. Easy to make the holes as you have the work piece often already centered for milling the middle hole bigger. - Please use a vice or vice grips on your drill press to clamp down the piece you are drilling. When it snags on the drill and cuts open all your fingers, or worse, breaks your fingers, that is not fun. - You should really get a speed controlled motor for you lathe or get a different lathe. Drilling and cutting all with one speed is really hard on your drill bits and tool bits. There are simple formulas to calculate the speed you need your chuck to rotate when cutting. And when you have used them a while, you can ballpark the speeds and its a lot better than just always using one speed. - When you are making shafts or housings for bearings, you should always make them tight, you don't ever want the bearing to spin in the housing or on the shaft, because then the bearing spins from the wrong place and will wear out the shaft or housing and play will occur. Other than those few things, you are doing great! And you are an excellent welder, a lot better than I could ever be, there are so many things that I learned watching your videos these past weeks. You got a new subscriber and follower! Can't wait to see what you come up next!

[@breadlowry]

Really liked the tunes this episode. Well done! Good show!

[@Justthatguy420]

Sweet ass build man. One of the best build by far I've seen on youtube

[@jackheath6623]

i have a motor cycle powered sand car(short wheel base), and i understand the difficulties of finding the right shocks and springs. i have been working on springs and valving for 15 years. finally got it right! took it to a shock guy at glamis on tuning day. got it doing the whoops at 40mph. easily the biggest improvement was just the right springs. yours look a little stiff all the way around. super cool car! love the lines of the frame and what you did with the rear shocks.

[@skrill69]

By the way it already looks badass LOL

[@Angry-Lynx]

Regarding too stiff suspension: you have 2 other options other than softer springs: increase shock mounting angle or make lower shock mount closer to control arm pivot. Both solutions chanche geometry in such way that shock will act like with softer springs AND dampers. Cheers ;

[@Angry-Lynx]

Btw, second option have also nice side effect of increasing wheel travel, but only if shock travel was limiting factor ;

[@braydenmiller7714]

If you want smoother riding, angle the shocks a bit more

[@jauned]

I don't understand, i think if you put the shocks near the wheels it would be stiffer...

[@joeyhammer1998]

@@jauned you'd be correct. But making a ride smoother requires softening the suspension

[@braydenmiller7714]

jauned I haven’t heard that before, but I ride atvs and from experience, more angle with your shocks makes the ride smoother, less angle and you feel every bump in the road

[@kwaherikwasasa]

@@braydenmiller7714 that is because when you angle your shock you reduce the spring rate. For example if you tip your shock at 25 degrees your spring rate is 91% of its original rate if mounted vertically. So in effect you soften the spring. The change in spring rate is the original spring rate times the cosine of the angle that the shock is mounted at. So the cosine of 25° is .91 and that's where the 91% comes from. There are several good KZbin videos on spring rates, and suspension setup.

[@damonpeters6645]

move the front lower shock mount in towards the chassis to soften the suspension?

Your design is hitting the sweet spot !

[@memorris2]

It looks like the perfect amount of stiff dude.....just pushing and pulling and standing on it isnt an accurate gauge of suspension tuning.

[@Shredxcam22]

Exactly. Needs to start with a calculator. Then tune it on the trails.

[@memorris2]

Think of the ground pushing up on the vehicle, and not the vehicle weight pushing down.....

[@Shredxcam22]

@@memorris2 he is close to all the pull down rigs being on the east coast. But I'm sure the $ per hour to rent them is insane.

[@adrianbooysen219]

Yeah, that suspension is going to get punished a lot harder on the trail. It's going to need the rigidity to cope with rocks, outcrops, stumps and the like

You have a lathe. Cut four coils off the front springs if after you drive it and find it may still need softer springs. Then make spacers to keep the ride height correct for the stance you're seeking. Easy stuff. You're doing a good job kiddo!

I’ve gotta say that this buggy looks awesome, the suspension looks about perfect as it is. Let’s face it it’s going to be the front that takes the most amount of impact stress so it should be fine.
