I'm not sure but I think this is the first time you've taken a build out and not broken it. SUCCESS 👏

[@kolbyjohnson9977]

Aircraft push-pull cables are awesome for shift linkage!

[@ctvxl]

It has really been a joy watching you progress over time and become better and better. I love it that you aren't embarrassed to admit your mistakes, and what you learned from them. In my opinion, that is the best part of watching your channel. This machine is the culmination of countless hours of R&D on your part, and it's awesome. Just needs a few tweaks to be really great. Keep it up, and never let anyone's criticism discourage you.

[@robibolli3286]

Love the build, here’s some advice: 1. Motorcycle sport bike engines are designed to rev extremely high, their powerband is in the 8,000 RPM+ range. They have like 300 degree + duration cams so below 7,000 they barely produce any power. If needed you can change your gear ratios to compensate for the high revving nature of these engines. 2. Having issues with the transmission slipping out of gear can be helped by using non-synthetic oil (synthetic is more slippery) and if that does not help then take a look at the shift star and spring. They are relatively easy to get to and replace; slipping out of gear means a worn shift star or spring. If you replace both and still have issues using a stronger spring will help it stay in gear. Best of luck!

[@larryalexander4833]

Looks awesome !Chris not sure you may need to check the length of the front brake lines. Seem to be little short when turning and suspension is extended downward.

[@bvn650]

Hey boet, this looks super fun to drive and YOU built it, you can be proud of it, and all new things need minor tweaks. Well done! 😉

[@yoratoni_depreciated]

Damn, you should protect these sprockets before something bad happens

[@la_plata3588]

Right I would change the Jack shaft gearkmg so the final drive sprocket would be a lot smaller

[@pyroboobysmith359]

Maybe along with that, a HELMET.

[@msx80]

Yeah, the sprockets could hit a rock and bend or something. Also i'd put some protection on the chains, they're picking up all the dust and sand. Other than that, loved the run and i'm happy for the guy, looked so happy for the result and rightly so! Ps and an helmet too 🔮

Watching the back diffrencial suspension is fun

[@lostman9814]

You have built a hell of a machine, time to put some serious safety into it side nets, helmet, and collar. I've seen first hand crippling injury's in similar machines in a role overs partial ejection is no joke, got to keep head, arms, and legs inside the ride at all times. Makes you braver as well. Long live the creator.

[@outabody381]

Agreed

[@2turbanrider142]

FINALLY!!!!! you actually take something out AWESOME!!! keep posting riding videos

There’s something to be said about a toy when you turn and look at it after riding and can’t help but smile. Glad to see the joy this build has brought you!

WOW 👀 ONE BIG PAT ON THE BACK FOR CHRIS ! Got to be proud of that build buddy 👍

[@nasheapowell6087]

It was so awesome to meet you, we had a blast riding with you!!

[@justinstergar6757]

Get your popcorn 🍿 boys. Been waiting for this one!

[@jacobduryea8030]

Definitely need some grease fittings but that thing is awesome! Great to see you being able to enjoy it so much

[@johnalexander4356]

I think I'm seeing the front brake hoses stretch tight whenever the wheel drops all the way to bottom of travel. If that is what really is happening, you should install longer hoses. Otherwise the hose or banjo bolts could fail from the stress. And make for a bad day! At least it's worth checking to be sure. But can on that's an awesome build!

[@BLUEYENKO]

I was looking at that also. I think he just needs to limit the down travel.

[@johnalexander4356]

I'd hate to think the brake hose is functioning as the down stop.

[@metalman065]

Looks good, looks like it's not beatin your guts out, suspension doing its job.. Happy to see you getting to enjoy riding and not breaking down constantly.. Those front brake lines look a little stretched out there, especially when turning. Success brother..🤘

[@jaredbennett9568]

Well I think it's safe to say the suspension WORKS! You gotta take that thing to the dunes

[@ThePatillac]

That beast looks awesome going down the road. Glad to see it held together on it's first real test!

[@kyleegan4013]

Great to see you enjoy the fruits of your labor. Looks sick

[@atsekjoker]

nice, and well done! you have amazing skills! you could connect the 2 lower shockmounts in the front each side to strengthen them up - i see it breaking there soon. on both rear sprockets/axles you coud add a circular plate bigger than the sprockets to protect them against impact. a suggestion for colour: black frame and red metal panels or pure metal panels

[@kevinheiden6178]

Kinda feel like the rear chain/sprockets need a splash guard on bottom to protect it from hitting boulders

[@arthursmith5409]

A great showing, one man made built machine pitted alongside manufacturer built machine. And they had 4×4! Skid plates for the chain and sprockets. A hard run or bounce on a high rock could warp the sprockets and end the day.

[@noahlyden17]

Wow super cool ! It’s cool that you could ride with some side by sides like that because you can kind of see how your buggy compares

[@TheTwistedStone]

In the off roading video's it looked like that bar underneath the rear suspension was pretty close to hitting ground. Great build and you could see how much you enjoyed driving it. Stay safe.

[@jamesmorton8431]

Paddle Tires + Sand Dunes = Loads Of Fun!!! 🤟🏻

[@waggy401]

I was thinking the same thing. Busco Beach sand drags.

[@DetroitMicroSound]

Useless for everything BUT sand though....

[@josteincarlsen2905]

Amen!!

[@gb1613]

@@DetroitMicroSound They work in the snow too!

[@DetroitMicroSound]

@@gb1613 kinda, yup, depending on the type of snow. True. Best practice would be to carry both on your trailer, in case the sand isn't great loose stuff, and you need a more multi-purpose tire. Here in Michigan all kinds of environments are mixed together. we have awesome dunes, sandy beaches, etc, but all of it is surrounded by pine forrest with rock hard (full of clay, because of the last ice age) ground, groomed trails, two-tracks, muddy stuff, big rocky stuff...... snow, solid ice...... humid black mud stinky tar-pit type type swamps....

[@joshuascheib2984]

Finally!! Success. You know the grave ninja would have broke down. I am glad to see you enjoying yourself at the ORV park. Keep up the great work. That independent rear suspension was amazing to watch.

[@joakoc.6235]

That thing is awesome, at the level of a good UTV or even better.

[@Ryan-kr2ox]

Nice! That suspension is awesome! I only saw the left rear tire leave the ground once, the rest of the time all four tires were firmly planted on the ground! The thing looks like it handles like a Cadillac! Awesome job! 👌

[@jasonlucas8740]

Maybe think about strapping the break lines to the a arm so it won't rub through over time. I know they are steel braded lines but I've seen it happen.

[@codaman127]

Get a little adhesive filter cover for your Go-pro, lots of mountain bikers use them to keep the wind out of the audio without losing quality, and they're super cheap. It'll help out~

[@joe212]

With the amount of time the shocks look like there at full Extension You may want to order a set of shock straps so your not beating the bottom scock cap out of the shocks

[@brucejordan2271]

Will help with stretching the brake hoses also, those appeared to be getting stretched at full down travel.

[@GodschildinNC]

Fantastic job!! The suspension works so well. Get a padded seat cover, and use fabric for the side coverings. You could use tarp material on the inside, side you see the tubing.

[@oliververnon6966]

So cool!!! I'm looking forward to when you throw some paddle tires on it and take it to some sand dunes!. I realize you're on the east coast, but St. Anthony Idaho has the best dunes I've ever been to. Huge area and a variety of levels of difficulty. Another must-visit is swingarm city Utah. Really crazy dirt terrain out there.

[@mattryan9376]

Chris you were RIPPING this thing!! Stepping out of your comfort zone a bit I see 😉

[@mattryan9376]

@Bob Watters he doesn’t need to rev it out. It has 18 gears...

[@sjv6598]

@Bob Watters six speed box on the bike gearbox and a three speed attached to that = 18 gears. 7:25 he explains this...

[@mattryan9376]

@Bob Watters you must be new here...

[@richardreinhard8864]

@Bob Watters for him, he was ripping it, anyone else and it would be crawling. He's an awesome builder, not a racer.

[@B.V.Luminous]

@Bob Watters issue one, how fast exactly dp you expect people can drive in THAT OFFROAD PARK? It isn't designed to be raced through unless you're on a dirt bike. Once this cart hits an open dirt track or a field that is relativly smooth you can see it rip, this was a literal fucking test of operation.

[@CasperRc81]

Second gear in an auto manual transmission is usually the one that takes the worts punishment. It’s directly underneath 1st and is where a lot of the power is being directed to. I have a rzr and it’s rewarding when I fab things for it. Your reward must be amazing making a complete vehicle from scratch. Wonderful build love it. Or a larger diameter steering wheel for more leverage make your own be cool.

[@ericstanley808]

Been watching you create for awhile All I can say is WOW !! this buggy handles and tracks beautiful!! The front end seems to have very little of any bump steer and you were really hitting some nasty stuff up that hill .. watching the front wheels sure seems steady and you should be incredibly PROUD of your build buddy !! 5 👍🏽 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

[@EdTheMole]

Really good job that took a pretty good beating out there and it held up amazingly well the only thing I saw that might become a problem is the rear chain drive. Those chains are out there in the open I think they need to have guards put on them just in case and if you do put them on they should be made pretty substantial so that you don't have them into the chains you are trying to protect.

[@RSmerlinRS]

ahh... finally some rocks and bumps for those shocks to soak up! Looks like a real smooth ride

[@derekpirie9188]

Looking at the Road Buggy going through the trail, you choice of suspension is spot on. The combination of trailing rear eliminates body roll and the A arm ( wish bone ) front allows for radical suspension travel. Hope that you can sort out the transmission issue.

[@EdwardMurray06]

You've made an all purpose trail machine. It can handle most terrain and I'd bet it'd do well on more technical rocky terrain given the correct tires and suspension settings as well. Can't wait to see it with sides and paint.

[@docholliday9791]

I'm just glad you enjoy your own creation

[@Ratkill9000]

Also, wire loom all of your wiring. Change out your crimps for either a quick connect or solder them solid. Crimps don't last very long.

[@TacticalTushie]

Proper crimps are better than solder. Especially in off road

[@Ratkill9000]

@@TacticalTushie I beg to differ. They are not water tight and corrode much faster than solder.

[@TacticalTushie]

@@Ratkill9000 what about solder is water tight you moron?. Solder corrodes.. Its an actual problem on Toyotas from the 80s. Don't get crimps from Wal-Mart and you're probably good. Listen to actual professionals that build wiring harnesses.

[@keithflemingfutv3190]

Satern vue steering is the cheapest and best bruno in Portugal can fix you up with the electronics to make it work on ebay .and you can quicken it up and increase the radius. Happy steering

[@SeaCowsBeatLobsters]

Suspension looks sooo good

[@garymucher9590]

Obvious your turning radius isn't close to the other trail vehicles. And part of that is because of the length of the frame. There is a compromise with anything you build. Closer turning radius the shorter the frame has to be. But then you have other issues with a shorter frame. So trade offs are always part of any design... It is all part of what you want.

[@FarmerFpv]

Sweet buggy, It has a MEAN-looking stance. You need some suspension limiters or slower negative rebound so it will ride flatter in turns, you look like you're on the verge of rolling it every bump turn. Put some like the Can-Am or RzR and you would have a better handling buggy. If you ain't doing serious rock crawling there is no reason to have so much negative droop, lol.

[@tomlee7966]

go with a wide view rearview mirror, not external mirrors they will just get ripped off. you might think about chain protection and tree bars also, i'm 59 and use to run a VW woods buggy, i'm talking from experience.

[@aserta]

Check to see if there's uneven wear inside the transmission, or if there's uneven load (put an indicator on moving parts after you've put the vehicle on stocks so you can run it) maybe that's where the popping out of gear's from, since i assume you've triple checked the entire outer assembly.

love that thing man. you should see if you can give the front brake lines a little bit more play. they seem to be a little bit to stretched out. im not sure if that could be whats causing you to have to stand on them or not but i feel like if you snagged on a branch or something theres a good chance bad stuff could happen. also you should look into seeing if you can protect the sprockets on the rear tires some how by building like a cage over them or something just to protect them from rocks and other debris
