Harbor freight 670cc Vtwin buggy Rips after mods!

[@VasilyBuilds]

Are you guys getting tired of the buggy? No worries. Crazy new projects on the way! and finishing the f150 truck. Unfortunately the corona virus has cancelled our plans of taking this thing to the jeep trails this week. Hope everyone stays safe out there and keep your head up

[@Everatti]

Nope. I still love the buggy vids. Great work!!

[@garageguy5174]

You should make it 4 x 4 or 6x6 or 60x60!! You need to make an off road scooter!!

[@cahird6639]

What type off differential is in your buggy ?

[@VasilyBuilds]

@@cahird6639 straight axle no diff

[@cahird6639]

@VasilyBuilds thanks just wonder

[@jeffdeason7709]

The kids mechanical aptitude is off the charts. Love to see a kid that is passionate about working with his hands. Someone brought him up right!

[@lukefish7562]

Yep, I’m jealous

[@davidhamberlin5155]

Dang kid, good thing we arent neighbors cause we'd be making 2 of those. Good job man.

[@carlossantana2592]

David Hamberlin hahaha my thoughts exactly

[@bikesandrc4387]

Sad that he wrecked it…

[@jay-dee5.562]

That thing F’ing rips!!!!!!!😮😳🤯 Nobody is tired of the buggy. We want more videos of that thing tearing 💩 up.

[@SDRacing88]

I am blown away by what you have accomplished at such a young age. I love what you have done to the kart!! I hope you keep going with it, lights/body panels etc!

[@SifuMing]

I'm impressed with your knowledge and skill keep learning and fabing nothing will stop you

[@kylez2141]

I'm glad you didn't give up on this one, it's really coming together

[@zmac7467]

Thank you for addressing the issue of the clutch pulley orientation . This is very important information that many people are unaware of. I made some videos of the same subject of a 40 series on my 18hp kart. Love your channel and keep up the great videos!

[@Mikefestiva]

BryDuhBikeGuy I know! how do people actually dislike this stuff! I have a channel and over the years I found there’s subscriber trolls that build up over time, they are loyal subscribers that don’t miss any time hitting the thumbs down button 😂 pricks.

[@dangerousdoggo5465]

The dislikes are old grumpy people who hate engine sounds and sit on their ass all day watching television and petting their 100 cats

[@mikesanders4012]

Just couldn't leave it alone the way it was, ha good for you. Keep inspiring kids & go-carts everywhere.

[@tatewilliamson7931]

Man this is bad ass. I built one and put a cr100f motor in it. I blew it up tho. I want to build one like this and put a crf450 motor in it. Love this thing. Keep this up. Your a great fabricator and mechanic for this stuff. Really awesome

[@brianbrazil9909]

Pretty sick. Harbor freight motors are legit. I blew my 420cc predator motor threw the rod bearing but rebuilt it with honda parts. Now it's real solid.

[@ricerneon399]

Good work my man I love this build

[@PetersPowersports]

My grandpa has one of these and I was hesitating on buying it since it is only 250cc but after seeing what you did with it, man it makes me want to get his. His is the bigger one too with independent rear suspension.

[@VasilyBuilds]

this one is built though

[@PetersPowersports]

Well I would build it like you did but probably with a motorcycle engine. I was just saying that your videos have shown me what it could look like with a lot of work. Thanks again for the videos!

[@247Dalvarez]

I'm definitely not get tired of new Buggy videos! How about making it 4X4 drive? Maybe show more views of the whole buggy because it looks cool and interesting with all you've done to it! This project is a work of art and a labor of love my friend! Welding, fabricating projects like this from home would be therapy for me. I'm a bartender (was, thanks COVID19) at a busy resort in Temecula Ca. I'd much rather be doing what you do...!

[@920HVAC]

Dude that is one bad machine! Keep creating man! You’ve got a talent!

[@mazpr2025]

Most times gut feeling builds are the best, am glad it worked for this project. He pushes through, he is young, has plenty of time to burn. Nice build! LOL, "All right everyone, time to wake up, out of bed, chop chop..."

[@jaybyrd1935]

Holy smokes little brother that buggy is bad ass I’ve been away for a while been trucking then come back Home and then turn on KZbin and look what you went and built! Now I want one! Great job man I love the tires the suspension engine is amazing great job man

[@jessiecastro4185]

This buggies great bro... you have really gotten better at your fabrication skills.. great build looks fun

[@spicydeath82]

turning out nice fella. will point out most people call them a Razor rather than an R Z R..

[@knowbull5hit590]

This thing performed alot better than i thought it would, things one badass little kart

[@mikeh2296]

That wheelie😲 then another over a tree 🤯 blew my mind that was epic I truly love your buggy

[@austinsears1637]

Aren't those called pillowblock bearings!? Haha! Right on man! Glad to see someone is having fun getting their wrench on and fabrication times having a good time!!!

[@ozkrpalminteri9431]

Dude, harbor freight should sponsor u. What u do is so unique with a budget engine and a budget supercharger.

[@chadvest8539]

I enjoy all the videos. Don’t let it go downhill as 3D machine has. Keep up the awesome work really enjoy seeing ya learn and achieve excellence.

[@paulhare662]

Just a thought. Knowing a little bit about aluminum and metal fatigue, I've personally avoided aluminum rocker arms on all my engine builds. Rockers that come in a china-white box scare the hell out of me. Liking the fire extinguisher addition. Smart move.

[@BuckeyeBallistics]

Just found your channel and spent the last 3 hours watching some of the build vids. Awesome build, can't wait to see it on the trails; subbed.

[@aarontapia6261]

This man is a young savant! Genius.

[@bstarnes514]

Dude this thing is dope! One of my favorite builds from you!

[@gratefulRed69]

awesome rig!! the "eagle scream" at the 8:57 mark is f'ing CLASSIC !!! LMFAO !!!

[@Agwings1960]

They use the same CVT system on snowmobiles. Ski Doo even had a snowmobile back in the day called the Alpine, it was a large work type machine and used a CVT system with two belts side by side for high torque applications like pulling heavy loads, nice buggy by the way.

[@dirtyfacegeorge9938]

The secondary needs to "float" on the shaft.this will allow it to self align.

[@doomman700]

It’s definitely binding up now , he has the moveable half of the primary on the side of the stationary half of the secondary. You can see the belt bend in the vid. He needs to spin the primary around first, then , float the secondary if you can keep it free floating and not binding on the shaft

[@zmac7467]

Interesting, I’ve never heard that before. How much “float” room do you need the give the pulley? I’m curious about this as I’m working on a kart with a comet 40 series. I’ve been in contact with Comet tech support and this was never mentioned. I’ll attach the link for the Comet 40 series for your review. If you have a video of the floating driven I would be interested in viewing it. Thanks! www.bmikarts.com/pdf/comet_40series.pdf

[@roynelson7613]

This thing is a super freak pretty badass bro you did one hell of a job on this one 💪🏾💪🏾♥️👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽😎👊🏽

[@omyajt]

Nice engineering! You know how to have fun!

[@luvmysuperduty]

I have acquired an old Honda Odyssey chassis!! You have literally done the exact drivetrain I have in mind!! Would kill for a parts list!!!

[@VasilyBuilds]

[@Baldys_projects]

The cvt alignment isn't correct and it appears to only be transitioning half way something is wrong with it, it could be to stiff of a contra spring or rollers are to light or the belt is to short. I'm glad to see you back at work this has come a long way and looks fun!

[@doomman700]

It is, he spun the primary clutch around backwards, that put the moveable half of it on the stationary half of the secondary, the thing is fighting itself bending the belt sideways, watch it closer. The stationary halves need to be on the same side. Yes the work opposite of each other, but the belt follows the stationary sides.

[@allensnook7760]

I love the sound,makes it a ripper!!!💥👍💥

[@josephdoby6411]

Wow that thing is like a little monster truck! Nice!

[@inspireonex]

Would like to see Vasily's 670 buggy vs rather B's VF1000

[@ChevTecGroup]

I'd be too busy riding it to make more videos lol. Good for you man. Sick buggy

[@Gruuvin1]

Oh man! I bet your neighbors love you!

[@ChristopherJones16]

I can imagine some of their convos.. “how do you know those big ruts in your lawn are from me and my monster buggy?”

[@stevelamperta865]

I have a book on clutches you should have . when these clutches are set up and shimmed right , there's no beating them on the track !

[@benruether8294]

Sounds like a beast. Nice suspension upgrades too

[@HOTSHOT-ls1bc]

You have made one of the best go karts I’ve seen !!!

[@getoutmecar2940]

AMAZING 😉 best build you’ve done ever 🤩 ( love yo channel

[@cwhite1634]

Your neighbors must love you.

[@jordanpanich]

Nice! That thing rips! Keep up the awesome work!

[@Ozarkprepper643]

What a blast! Hope you aren't bugging your neighbors with your buggy! I keep waiting to see someone step out with a shotgun for tearing up their yard. lol

[@JamesBrown-js3lm]

You were sure having fun ripping up around the neighborhood.

[@tomconner5067]

If you have more power or run higher final drive ratio, you want to close the PTO pulley at a lower rpm, so use heavier weights, if your vehicle weight increases, or you're pulling through heavy mud, climbing hills, etc, use a spring with a higher load rating on the rear pulley, it'll adjust with power input.

[@eyeslo4206]

Taking the baffle out will cause a lean condition by increasing the airflow in a carbureted engine. If you're injected your fine. The afr will adjust automatically.

[@airgunbubba2505]

"It's gonna be really stupid, really dumb, or it'll work and we are gonna break sumthing." Made my day man!

[@nonharrybulz9380]

The eagle 🦅 screech was perfect lol good job kid .

[@jurriendw050]

I should make the gearing a little higher it sounds like it has more than enough power and torque to handle that. Overall what a beast of a machine man!!😂

[@simplybeanjelly]

He wants wheelies and low end torque for crawling

[@gb4958]

Hey bro maybe i can help you out .Noticed right off the bat i can see the belt is riding too low in the Driven clutch to begin with .That will kill the bottom end power on initial takeoff. Its like trying to start off in second gear. Should be a hair above the top of sheave after everything is properly aligned with approximately an inch or so of deflection under light pressure. First thing you should do is put that primary (Drive) clutch back the way it was , Second put a thin metal STRAIGHT EDGE like an engineers stick. yard stick ect. that is about a 1/16 thick and not bent clinched between the secondary (Driven) sheaves and rest it on top of the Primary clutch shaft, If the secondary sheaves dont pinch the bar tight you probally have to take it apart and take a shim out (probally why belt is so low in sheave) unless it has an external adjustment like a skidoo. Third you can now find the center of drive clutch , centers of pulleys have to be aligned , take another straight edge and lay it on back of drive clutch sheaves,measure off secondary sheeve pulley and and twist or turn motor to even up . there will be an offset, make it even while mantaining center on drive clutch, you will probally have to elongate some holes along the way ,spacers ect but play with it till you mantain center with proper belt deflection and height above sheave ,no belt squeal at idle ect.You can also play with different springs,filing notches in the weights and such ect. to change performance Get yourself a snowmobile racing ,tuning book .it will explain clutching in depth. Great project you got there though!!

[@loomspace]

Best comment.

[@samsgarage1716]

That 670 has power.I have a yerf dog spider box that I’m hooking up but not sure what engine to put on it yet.Great video

[@calvinwright1816]

Raming the tree was super funny for some reason 🤣

[@fearless1931]

That thing is a beast, awesome build! Just picked up a Murray cart last weekend hoping to build something half this cool lol

[@fundingo11]

Very impressive build , I’d like to see your skill level in another 5yrs! Keep it up

[@LAHover]

Sounds Sweet! Instead of an oil catch pan you could run a hose from the breather to the drive chain. Oils chain and less work. :)

[@VasilyBuilds]

No offense, That's a very bad idea. How would I know how much oil comes out? Engine oil desiged to be in engine not on a chain. A catch can actually helps to keep the engine oil inside the engine and when excessive pressure builds up it lets the engine vent out

[@LAHover]

@@VasilyBuilds all good. I've seen it done on motorcycles. But i guess buggies are different...

[@OYET-te2jn]

Good stuff! Very impressed with your skills bro!

[@FrankA-973]

Awesomeness buddy, love how this thing sounds. Keep up the killer work. 👍🏼🔥

[@wali6477]

Make it into a one seat,move the seat into the middle of the buggy, it would look way cooler like that

[@beaud3035]

Holy shit dude!! That looks like so much fun!! Ive got a yfz 450r and a raptor and im telln ya... I think id rather have that.. BADASS BROTHER!!

[@BillBogan]

Got some power going to the ground now! Nice work.

[@TheStp77]

Holy shit that backwards clutch is skeeeetchy😂😂 but hey it works and why wouldn’t it🤷‍♂️ good job

[@jfranksenior7509]

Never get tired of the buggy need to bring it to silver lake sand dunes I Michigan

[@TRX450RVlogger]

Pretty cool. Here is some constructive criticism! I personally would ditch all the Pillow Blocks and biuld some sort if Bearing Races and use High quality bearings.that you can press into some sort of cylinder.

[@lukefoxofficial5458]

This is awesome. Love the tub work!!!

[@ThatDudeSirraj]

Respect. That thing is a beast.

[@robcrossan6274]

Cool learned alot from the video. Ive always messed with cars but pretty new to go karts/buggys. That thing is awesome

I’m proud of you kid!

[@shawngancasz5967]

Love the sound of this thing

[@whiskeybuilder6335]

Very cool buggy. I have a spider box I'm thinking of doing something similar to. Not as confident in my fab abilities as you seem to be, but gonna try.

[@acurarl9929]

So the only thing that you need to do is allow the secondary pulls to have a 1/8-1/4 inch of free play to side to side so it tracks as it shifts.

[@sweet65mustang]

I admitt I didn't finish watching the video so maybe you caught it but in regards to you cv clutch, you should run the belt as close to the engine block as you can to prevent bearing wear. The farther out the output shaft the belt is, the more lateral pressure on the bearings

[@johnroberts4647]

Nice fabrication skills. You did a great job with the CVT seems like it has great traction now. Wanted to see what kind of power a 670 has for my dune buggy project.

[@dustinh4175]

That thing is rad. Just needs a light bar

[@waitemc]

Looks great, seriously. Most ytube builds end up awkward looking. Nice job

[@imnottellinudontwannaknow3188]

you should get one of those cheap utvs with a pickup bed. it could be a good utility build

[@ryanpaasch7464]

On my 4 wheeler I replaced every other weight to a lighter one you might want to try that to get a different weight combo with out buying more weights?
