Engine Sprocket Extension... Mini 4WD Trophy Truck Project - Part 8

[@sjv6598]

Those engine mounts are a work of art! Much better than plate steel 🙂

[@musicauthority7828]

I like to use pillow blocks whenever I can. because they are extremely strong and adjustable and in most cases grease able. I just I would mention that. and I also thought I would mention. your choice of music for your videos. is hands down the best on YT for sure. keep up the great work.

[@JosefinaSwift]

If you are doing your best, you will not have to worry about failure.

[@davestevens4263]

Those engine mounts are sweet . Your skills just blows me away every time . & I’m a part time fabricator. Your right there with Ethan at ghpc ! This build is getting exciting

[@ABCustoms]

21:27 I would definitely put the zooming thing for the lathe in an insulated box outside. That thing drives you crazy!

[@hrsey71]

you should name this project "chain reaction" seems fitting since theres a million chains on it

[@larrydavidson3402]

Excellent job on the motor mounts and as I see it the whole build is a work of art.

[@GodschildinNC]

Great work, keep on building like this and we will keep on watching!

[@johnbest4320]

Starting to take shape love that your using stuff from the cbr 1000 build that just worked flawlessly & implementing here your metal work & welding is marvellous I am getting excited to see the Finnished product this shoukd be amazing have a nice week mate 👊💨

[@sourdonkeyjuice]

Those engine mounts are awesome! Great work on this project!

[@wags9777]

The metal you were tying to drill was Probably work hardening. Best option there is to keep coolant on it and constant pressure until you're through

[@theDirtbikeninja]

WARNING!!!!!!!! You'll need to re-engineer the way you're attaching that shaft extension to your engines output shaft. Man, that extension is SICK!!!! However, by applying any side load whatsoever to that output shaft is going to do some serious damage really quickly. I've seen another comment here about this, but this particular issue cannot be missed. You were correct in explaining how the sprocket is held on the shaft with a bolt. Now, imagine backing off the pressure the secondary bearing and its mounting plate are putting on the output shaft JUST enough so as not to give the extension any side-to-side play, but keeping it in place. Essentially putting up a wall against the end of the extension so it can't come off the output shaft, but not creating any inward pressure at the same time. That's the key to making your extension work without causing any damage that would force you to tear into the transmission of that big engine. Man, I am so looking forward to each video you're doing on this truck. I can't wait to see the test runs, and to hear all those chains.

[@MarkSmith-wu8rh]

It’s crazy how far you’ve come, I remember watching one of your first builds it was a tiny four wheeler you made in school , now you’re building massive buggies !! Keep it up 👍🏼

[@nicholasthurman2266]

I would’ve done the engine mounts differently but your work is what make you different. I’m the kinda person that will tell you, if you can build it, I can build it 💯

[@asayoasayo5746]

I truly appreciate and enjoy your channel. I'm always looking forward for the next video. I love your work. Great job.

[@supadeluxe]

You've done a lot of good work so far BUT, by far, those engine mounts are my favourite parts!

[@jimhowell4937]

Chains are very strong but have to admit riding in that at speed would be terrifying with that much mass rotating around my limb’s. Love it!

[@coleswolemma]

Just a thought… you should take all your metal shavings from the lave an make a video melting them down and pouring it into a knife or something cool, just a thought for video ideas! Great work man!

[@sophakpeth4346]

Of all the builds I follow on YT, I look forward to this one the most. Great job as always. You’re truly inspiring!

[@darrinbosley1728]

I really have come to enjoy watching you work. I also enjoy seeing a small look at you thought process. I have taken the time to watch almost all of your past videos. You have really grown into a very well rounded engineer, and fabricator. Thank you for sharing through your videos.

[@michiganmoto7687]

While I think this is a complicated bit of over engineering with all the chains, sprockets and gearing, and I think a shaft drive system would be simpler and lighter, I can’t help but be fascinated by the mad scientist approach and look. This is a really cool build and almost has a steampunk feel to it. ✌️

[@worldsbestwatcher3735]

Great decision on the motor mounts. Awesome job. Your skills have come a long way since I first started watching you. You were just teething on 1/2" bolts. Good luck and thanks for not editing out the little bloopers. 👍

[@quaileggsvermont]

Yep have you ever taken a good steel ball bearing and spun it in between your fingers??? I have when I was your age! Not thinking of the "What Ifs" Well I spun it with an air gun so fast it blew up in my fingers!!!! Everything went all over! Talk about pain and hurt holy man!!!! I was lucky I did not lose my fingers eyes and them little balls were like shotgun pellets! Yep not thinking!!!! Think of a situation where them chains with only one whip around the sprocket going higher than the speed of sound as it gets momentum around the sprocket! That chain will do a lot of damage at high speeds! Remember it's always fun until someone get hurt! Do your part and protect yourself and others around you man!!

[@vintagetintrader1062]

Would love to see a buggy build using all CV and Uni joints, no chains. If you ever sell it, the amount of chains, sprockets and custom shafts needs replacement, would be a expensive exercise for it new owner.

[@chrismullett6072]

13:03 had me in tears, glad you put that in. Your work is inspirational, cheers from Australia.

[@Nordgrinder]

Happy 600k! Great work, Chris! We absolutely love your content.

[@islandlife9127]

You definitely have some mad skills. The quality of your builds away impress.

[@bradley3549]

This is a good lesson in why sometimes using random recycled materials kind of sucks and it's worth spending a couple bucks and buying a known alloy.

[@LstrO42]

Slower spindle speed (50rpm) and more cutting lube!!! Mounts looked nice.

[@Kirkorr123]

Chris you do great work. Next vehicle should use a Yamaha V max engine with it's shaft drive.

[@patiencejoshuagroves7336]

The round stock mount turned out sweet... good idea .

[@thecoachrobb]

Man I wish I had your machines. I miss machining as I am a retired tool & die maker.

[@whatsgoingon27]

That’s the nicest engine mount I’ve ever seen.

[@CncObsession]

Generally it is better to cut towards the chuck. Also if tapping, use Tap Magic. It is a game changer. The metal you were turning is work hardening. Slow down, use lube and sharp tools.

[@joker4206987]

Lmao 🤣 dude go watch my KZbin lol

[@kinkong1961]

as a long-time viewer of your channel I still can't get over the amount of skill you have attained it is incredible to watch and so entertaining for mech heads like us who have done similar projects in the past I used to build off-road land rovers I mean lighten them up fit diff locks in the axles lift the suspension and increase the angle uprate the engines I used 3-litre ford v6 and ford v8 5-litre engines the 5 was the best the old mustang engine and they sound fantastic and there are plenty of parts for them to uprate them even in the UK(ENGLAND) plus fitting lighting snorkels bigger tyres uprating the drive system like drive shafts as they were prone to break we used range rover axles and shafts from the states US as they were the best in strength and then have fun trying to get them stuck in impossible positions but still get out without using the winch those were the days. so I love watching you revive it all for me and invent some new ways for the drive system like the one before using the jackshaft as the swinging arm is genius so impressed so all the best Chris from John from Rugby UK.OH ps and CONGRATS ON 600.000 subs mate you should be on the millions by now with your level of skill but nothing stranger than folk.

[@BraxxJuventa]

Thanks for filming Chris. 👍😁

[@jamesdamico7250]

Good choice with the round stock for the engine mounts they do look pretty sick

[@BenNawrath]

Round stock for the engine mounts definitely looks awesome.

[@ManiacRacing]

You make some oddball choices in your drivetrains. But it seems to work out well enough in the end. I enjoy your builds.

[@johnmccanntruth]

The engine mounts looked great.

[@bigboigusytheboys4]

It’s 5 o’clock ish in Australia and I’ve been waiting for this to come up the entire night haha

You are not mad Max, you are crazy Max …

[@davidowen888]

Chris your skills are always getting better and better, keep on machining and welding on☮️

[@thatoldchevy001]

Kick ass engine mounts. The whole buggy should be engineered connections and thinner linkages IMO.

[@shanehaws3828]

Put a bearing on both sides of the sprocket extension to take the chain pulling force off the actual sprocket output shaft

[@paulblack1811]

The engine mounts look kick ass!

[@bigbaby1177]

Those motor mounts were cool AF!!

[@sammylisasmith2104]

Lots of work bud the motor mount is sweet thanks for your time

[@rolandbriscoe4977]

Super awesome build so far, I'm loving those motor mounts and your engineering.

[@thercbarn5001]

Love the engine mounts! And the beautiful machined parts

[@scottwright388]

Top notch engine mounts...I know you were proud of those, as you should be.

[@danf4616]

Maybe that steel has a tendency to "work harden?" I've run into that before. Kind of a pain. Thanks for the videos! 👍👍

[@ZrubekFamily]

Dude! you knocked it out of the park with those upper engine mounts!!!

[@skylarkeighley2369]

You should invest in a set of carbide bits or use mill bits as they will eat through almost anything

[@michaelcrebbin7328]

Wow you are incredible that engine mount set up is very clever loving watching this build 🥰🥰

[@danielhelbig1116]

Excellent job man, I love that your builds are flawless such good attention to detail perfect fabrication

[@mits2113]

Chris the project looks great, and your skills keep improving 😊 One consideration would be the brake rotor, that thing will overheat very fast with a vehicle that heavy. Keep that in mind, maybe a car rotor with more mass would be a better option?

[@jasonbirch1182]

I like the engine mounts. May have to steal that idea sorta on a mini bike I'm building with a little two stroke.

[@reddenley9822]

Love your channel. Your a awesome fabricator. I watched all your builds. Can't wait for the next video

[@gamerduck3707]

Hell yeah, new video!!!!

[@rdill6371]

You're doing an amazing job! Love the channel.

[@smokesall]

love the look of the head mount bracket great job this thing is really starting to look like something i still really think you should do doors tho

[@ALMIGHTYGARAGE]

That thing is badass bro engine mounts are sick never seen anything like it before

[@changethegame113]

Switch your tig cup to a 10 or 12 with little more gas flow. Guarantee you’ll say wow like Owen Wilson. (and a gas saver would be even better)

[@airtothewick]

That mount is a freeking masterpiece

[@jasonbirch1182]

I'd like to see at some point a similar setup with a fwd transaxle driven by a bike engine. Then you can run either a chain to the pivot axle like this or run CV axles AND have the option of a LSD differential. You get the gear reduction but if you run an overdrive 5 speed you get that as a bonus too. I've always planned to do that but I've never gotten to it. I'm getting equipped to be able to but not sure when I'll have the time. More likely to build a full size buggy with automotive drivetrain .

[@hemibreath]

Mounts look awesome 😎

[@MaNNeRz91]

13:03 started talking like Popeye 😂😭😭 glad you kept that in it cracked me up!

[@joshuamorgan2906]

Small stack of washers lol great looking build.

[@quaileggsvermont]

As fast as I have seen you go, I really hope you really do a good job at covering those chains up! Those what number 40 or bigger chains whipping around would have an unreal force behind them if one broke!!! I hate to see you get cut in half or whatever! It's not worth the big pain and problems healing up cut nerves and after the numbness that follows cut nerves or loss of function or loss! Nothing under 7/16s or better half inch for guards and covers! Thicker stronger is always better!!!!

[@bobkelly2447]

I noticed you have no retainer for the engine sprocket.... the engine power will eventually force the sprocket out and off the splines unless it is locked on ... I suggest a dowel pin or bolt just beyond the splines.... to hold it on the engine.... a grade 8 shoulder-bolt with a nilock nut should do the trick. she's looking great ! keep at her !

[@raynyhus2026]

Need to get a oil seal on the transmission output shaft. Great build.

[@faulknerfixesall]

hey be sure to design some "droop" in front suspension . i forgot to mention that the other day when i was over there. i am not an expert on small machines like this.but i remember building trucks with my dad and we always were stressing about how much the suspension traveled downward when in the air "droop" it was helpful for average speed over a series of big bumps. the build is really cool good work

[@landrelarose745]

Hey Christopher, those are incredible engine mounts.

[@ThePippin89]

The material was going hard because of the temperature you were putting into it with the drill. You really need to have coolant flow. Or at least some oil on the cutting edge.

[@matthewmiddleton63]

You could make the secondary transmission move up and down in the slots to tension the two chains

[@romienappi6292]

Very cool build so far I would love to do something like this in my garage 😀

[@wat6816]

those engine mounts are awesome!

[@ekengreken]

Love your work. I'm always looking forward to your videos!!👍🙂

[@atsekjoker]

may be i'm a little bit slow, but if you turn the engine backwards and the 2nd gearbox too, you could save some space and chain length. the exhaust could exit backwards freely. no header problems, no heat problems, no chain running forward from engine, so no counter bearing needed

[@Darkstyx72]

high weight of the vehicle and monstrous power drops for kilometers of chain!!

[@Miekkajakunnia]

Well, you are making something cool here. I know there are a ton of people saying something isn't right...but.. I don't see them on KZbin putting themselves out there like you are...so keep up the good work and do it how you want it.. everything you explain why you do it a certain way to me seems legit for whatever obstacles you are trying to come up with a way to get around it.

[@petekobraoutdoors7324]

You're an awesome fabricator. 👌

[@karlalton3170]

I would use a tapered roller bearing on that shaft that is designed to handle axial load.

[@Handleyman]

“Impossible to do an ugly weld”. Just give me a go! 😂

[@bigcaputo09]

It's coming out looking sick!!

[@kasper.4133]

Yayyyy been waiting all day thanks dude never fail to entertain

[@tasospotsepis141]

Nice work!

[@Gu1tarZer0]

cutting lube, the old in n out maneuver if it's overheating, and enough pressure to always take a decent chip out- that's what you want lol dude make a new shaper tool holder or weld some kind of spine on it so you don't need to hold that wrench on it

[@anythingmotorised923]

Should be using a cone style bearing as the single row ball bearing isn't designed for side loads

[@EJ-74]

That is some beautiful work bro 👍🏻

[@arvidnorberg3530]

Do I need to catch up in another episode or when will a seal for the transmission drive side be installed, seems like a difficult task given the shaft is splined, because that bearing cant run dry you know... Great video!

[@OwlShadow]

Probably youtube algorythm changed again i was wondering why im not seeing your videos im from EU even i subbed and bell...i love your projects keep on going especialy i was exited when you started with electronics even that was a bit of struggle dont give up on that section there is big sphere opening to move along in future..

Bunch of engineers in here acting like Chris is building the next space shuttle. If something breaks due to a poor design choice, he will make a change and fix it. Just like in all his other builds. Heck, I think that he probably likes doing stuff differently just to see how far he can take it. The uniqueness of his builds are what make his channel so fun to watch.

[@Salmonaxe223]

@@ratherBweldingChris You’re welcome! Keep up the great content and builds!

[@tinygriffy]

Since the beginning I am a little bit in doubt that this will work as intended and not fold up like a protein in a biochemical reaction if he puts the pedal to the floor... Though I totally agree !! I hope we will see the fails (if any) and changes that are being made. Would hate to see that project being just a giant waste of time, material and money.. ;) And even if, most parts can be reused for something different I guess. Still it is very cool to watch the fabrication of all the parts, really skilled work I think ! Good luck !!

[@aaronbonville4570]

Unless there is another pin and slot clutch at the front wheel drive shaft, that central chain will always spin no matter the speed. I bring this up as I do not see a way to disengage the front sprocket, the front wheels will be in contact with the ground constantly spinning the shaft. You expressed a want for the center chain to not spin when at high speeds, but it will anyway.

[@ratherBweldingChris]

The front hubs have lockers that can disengage for 2wd
