** Please leave me a like to help me fight the KZbin Algorithm **
To be honest, this was a multi- weekend build. Hopefully this will help speed up the process for you. Total cost to build was 537 $. Parts list and links below. Also.... don't forget the cotter pins at the end of the axles!! You will see how well that worked out for me in the first ride video. Please leave me a LIKE if this video helped you out at all. This information will help me make more videos in the future.
* I will do a update video soon! I have broke two of these axles already. Both broke where the outer diameter is lathed down to fit the splined collar for the sprocket (weak point). If you use this axle, weld this hub to the axle to make it stronger**

Came here for the trike build, but then I saw an mr2 in the background lol so I had to subscribe. I also have a 91 mr2 and 88 st165!

[@scantronsgarage]

Awesome!!! That's a nice Toyota collection you have

[@jonathandillon4974]

What Axle kit do you recommend since the link says not to buy that one?

[@scantronsgarage]

I just looked and found one under a different name. It has the sprocket in between the bearings which is needed. type in 32 go kart axle kit alloy rear axle with brake dics brake master cylinder and sprocket. this one I see is 112.15

[@JobyLeblanc-jh5vc]

So what axle needs to be used? Cause your detail says do not use the one you have listed?

[@scantronsgarage]

In my next video "drift trike upgrades" I explain the axle kit that works better and the link is in the description. The video also shows the comparison between the crappy one and the better one I found which is still working out well.

[@mitsos306ify]

A very nice and clean build! I would only propose also a front wheel brake!

[@scantronsgarage]

it has the basic rim brake on the front but it is not strong enough. I will upgrade the front wheel with one that has a disc brake to improve

[@Tomc8030]

In reality, what good is a rear brake? I’m building one for my grandson and I’m thinking I’ll add a front brake. Your opinion would be appreciated. Thanks

[@scantronsgarage]

Needs both! This thing is actually pretty fast. I have rim style front brakes currently. I would prefer the newer and stronger disc brake setup.

[@Tomc8030]

@@scantronsgarage thank you!

[@scantronsgarage]

@@Tomc8030 Sounds like you nailed it

[@nekto_ktotytakoy]

Hi, friend! It turned out great! can i get the drawing?

[@scantronsgarage]

Thank you! I dont have a drawing unfortunately

[@jacenburchell683]

Best video about this subject so far! Question: In the description for the Axl kit it says "DO NOT BUY THIS ONE" what other one would you recommend?

[@scantronsgarage]

Thank you so much! So the design on the one I used is flawed where it will always break near the sprocket where it is a smaller diameter. I am looking into getting an axle with the sprocket mount inside of both the axle bearings. This allows the axle to use the full 1 inch outer diameter and less of a stress point to prevent it from shearing off again. The problem is I am cheap. I don’t want to spend 300 for an axle. The next option I am looking at is a 44 inch with inside sprocket mount from Amazon but it also has crummy reviews

[@T0tenkampf]

I am trying to decide what makes a drift bike frame more drifty...why did you decide to mount the engine behind the axle? It reduces wheelbase but is that better for drifting?

[@scantronsgarage]

Good question. The more weight bias in the rear means the more unbalanced the chassis will be making it more willing to drift. A shorter wheel base helps too

[@drewpoe751]

Can I get a parts list please and thank you

[@scantronsgarage]

Yes. The parts list is in the video description. also, this axle broke. so use the axle i reference in my video titled drift trike upgrades.

[@fernandocalixto1530]

Really like your design since you don’t have to use a pipe bender. Any chance you the design drawn out as a plan? Or lengths needed ?

[@scantronsgarage]

good point! thank you. I will update these measurements in the comments of the video. Please check back soon.

[@jojocampos4680]

Sir, how long is your axle

[@scantronsgarage]

@@jojocampos4680 This axle was no good and broke 2X. I upgraded to a bigger axle. please see update video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/e4XCn6SbbMyjn7c

[@DeanMiner-gq9jw]

Pill a bearing on a wrong side of drive pill a fortune

[@scantronsgarage]

ok thanks

[@SbassLaser]

No explanation on how the axle was assembled?

[@scantronsgarage]

I thought I went over that

[@mr_landis3584]

Been a minute since I checked out ur channel. Absolutely love the growth and content. 1 question though..any update or future plans for the v8 mr2? God bless

[@scantronsgarage]

Hey! im late on checking messages. Yes! more updates on the v8 mr2. Im currently working on paint and bodywork. Go Eagles!

[@Coolrenel]

This might be dumb question, but my son's gokart the engine sits in front of the so if it sits behind the axle doesn't mean the wheels turn the opposite way

[@scantronsgarage]

No good question actually... This just changes the tension side of the chain from the top to the bottom.

[@randytravis3998]

I just got the same axle after waiting about a month for it dam sprocket is a odd ball size .. just found your channel

[@scantronsgarage]

Thanks for watching. Unfortunately I had trouble with this axle and it broke twice. had to upgrade it

[@coinminds]

where did you buy the sleeves?

[@scantronsgarage]

The sleeves are from a 12" ID PVC pipe i got from a friend in construction. I just cut it in 5" sections. It was free : )

[@bearcubb9442]

Nice build . Question..where did you find the12inch pvc pipe here they sell a 12ft section $125

[@scantronsgarage]

I found mine in my friends construction scrap yard. This is an industrial size pipe that can’t be found in Home Depot unfortunately. But in most cases, you can find cut pieces like I found discarded at construction sites or your friend’s back yard

[@mr_landis3584]

Bro. The editing is so good. The audio overlapping, right to the point. Reminds me of when my gpop use to watch new Yankee workshop.

[@scantronsgarage]

Thanks landis. It has taken some time to get better at. I will have a v8 mr2 update soon . Just busy with life

[@jameshollis9474]

Isn't the motor pulling backwards due to how and which side the motor is on?

[@scantronsgarage]

no. this only changes the tensioned side of the chain. in this case, the tensioned "pulling side" of the chain is on the bottom.

[@K3xet.7]

where did u buy the mettal square parts and the 3 pice break plz awnser

[@scantronsgarage]

the metal i bought from my local metal supply store and the brake came with the axle .

[@Ed_buch]

You wrote that the Thumb Throttle cable is too short then what did you do?

[@scantronsgarage]

Oh.. I just bought a 64" throttle cable off amazon

[@K3xet.7]

One more question where did u buy the bike Handel bar

[@scantronsgarage]

it was the same bars from the junk bike just painted

[@kevin-bz9yi]

How many inches of miscellaneous tube do I need

[@scantronsgarage]

get 10 to 12feet. It goes quick

[@tyv2433]

Pretty cool

[@scantronsgarage]

Thank you very much!

[@brianl4310]

why did you put the axle in front of the motor like that ?

[@scantronsgarage]

2 reasons. this keeps the wheelbase short and this also keeps the weight toward the rear which makes it drift easily.

[@ortegajon3]

How'd you run your throttle cable and brakes?

[@scantronsgarage]

i am using the simple front brake that came with the bicycle. The rear brake and brake line came with the kit that runs along the frame to the rear disc. The throttle cable runs down the downtube and clamps directly to the carburetor on the motor.

[@sayfe21]

Brother may i have the measurements of frame

[@scantronsgarage]

Yes! the measurements are listed in the comments section of this video

[@DaNeighborhoodWatch]

Do you have the frame measurements anywhere?

[@scantronsgarage]

I will update these measurements in the comments of the video. Please check back soon.

[@kevin-bz9yi]

What axle kit do I get

[@scantronsgarage]

The kit you need is in the second video I did.. (link to vid below)The product link for the good axle is in the description. This axle has given me no problems. kzbin.info/www/bejne/e4XCn6SbbMyjn7c

[@gingeejay4313]

Looks like my old holeshot. Awesome build man!

[@scantronsgarage]

Thanks Turd! That’s where I got the idea

[@damienbarton6597]

what rear brakes would you recommend?

[@scantronsgarage]

Definitely needs a front wheel with a disc brake setup. The rear brakes that came with the axle kit work well as is.

[@damienbarton6597]

@@scantronsgarage well in the description you wrote not to buy that axle. The new axle in your other video doesn't come with a rear brake. So I was wondering if you knew about a rear brake that would fit the new axle?

[@scantronsgarage]

@@damienbarton6597 Oh I see.. No do not buy the original axle. The second axle has a bigger disc that helps. I did use the original brake caliper from the first axle kit. I believe these are sold separately from the axle kits as well.
