[@ratherBweldingChris]

I am currently painting this vehicle which put me behind schedule with the normal videos. Next week will either be part 3 of the mini crotch rocket build or the painting of this vehicle, which ever I finish first

[@ashraf8663]

mini crotch rocket build

[@BA-jv7yy]

your shocks need stiffin up. you need 4" of sack .take weight off wheels then measure travel with weight on wheels ,should only move 4 "

[@fadedlight8596]

this thing would be cool with paddle shifters

[@CainSample]

No excuses, no excuses 😆🤙

[@matthudson1724]

What off road park is this??

[@yawningkitty457]

Well, from the looksof things, the changes you made were spot on, the gears all worked as intended and the whole buggy just seemed more settled and drivable. When DIrtgear was talking about having his buggy slide out when following you and how he couldn't go any faster through the rollers, the CBR buggy never looked like it was struggling despite going just as fast. Overall, this is my favourite build of yours, yes it has taken a long time to get right but you have a machine there that exists to make people smile and if it was mine, you'd have to force me out of it at gunpoint at the weekends.

[@shaunpc2512]

You know what buddy I think that you’ve finally cracked it, the buggy looks quick, nimble and very capable indeed, the suspension soaks up the bumps incredibly well by the looks of it and it’s obvious from watching that you have become really comfortable with the way in which it performs. Top job matey 👌🏻

[@MjrNiGhTmArE]

I was going to say something similar. I noticed his driving is much better and the build quality might have played a huge part in that. I wasn’t yelling at my screen to get on the damn gas this time.

[@malbers35]

Glad you finally found the gas pedal!

[@matthewlee8917]

Agreed...

[@kinglouiesshed8995]

Nailed it bro 😬

[@justinluke7210]

Its about time for reals

[@garrettstevens2232]

I was shocked when he hammered it from the get go. A nice change from being super cautious in previous videos. Turns out he just needs a little friendly competition to motivate him.

[@ratangramasedi9285]

True...

[@nolerine9629]

7:40 That's inertia of the rear wheels what makes the car nose dive. When you leave throttle it starts engine braking and slows down the rear wheels which creates momentum that tries to to rotate the whole car the same direction as the wheels. The opposite will happen if you try to full throttle midair - momentum will turn the frame against accelerating wheels

[@joeljakobsson7516]

Maybe set the rebound a bit slower also?

[@winstonsmith313]

I noticed this effect watching monster trucks. They can fine tune their rotation in the air when they do long jumps by using accelerator and brake. Of course, the wheel/tire of these rigs weighs about 800 lbs each. So the total rotating weight is almost 1/3 the 10,000 lb total weight of the “truck”.

[@pixels2polygonss]

What a beast!!! Nice to see this machine stretching it legs. What a amazing build !!! Mega props !!!

[@arrobrewer2730]

Good to see ya hanging it out a little, that comes with confidence of driving skill and trust your building skills. Fun vid well done stay safe.

[@eyeballengineering7007]

Bravo, that thing absolutely shreds dude. I was concerned with the rear trailing arm that you would have some torsional body roll. Most people run a big old sway bar on the rear with that setup. That thing did awesome though

[@pondmonserfox]

Now that’s how you do it right there! That’s a killer buggy you’ve made there, that suspension setup looks absolutely perfect for that terrain.

[@geoffburrill9850]

Holy crap that thing fly's and the suspension works a treat. Great job.

[@gt1man931]

Yes, that looks like a pretty good match for his turbo buggy. Maybe better. That is the best thing you have built.

[@davesonsadventures474]

This my favorite build. Love to see it completely finished! Awesome video!!

[@stu3775]

You are gifted at what you do, Sir.

[@ratmanbrian]

That machine is working so well. Maybe now that you have the chassis working well and know the drive ratio that works best you could ditch the second gearbox, lower the engine and fit an electric reverse. This would make it lighter, more stable, more reliable and easier to maintain. Another suggestion would be to quicken the steering ratio.

[@Robalo-2660]

I really enjoyed that ride ! Thanks for taking us along !

[@angryrooster9867]

Looks like so much fun ! NICE build there glad i got to see this project hit the trails

[@TheDestructor888]

Quite a while ago you used to have cameras watching your suspension, showing off it's movement and travel. I liked that, it'd be cool if you could feature more clips like those again, I miss them.

[@jefffranks6213]

You're a hundred percent right got to stay in the throttle until you're in the air. Trust your suspension you did a great job on it You have plenty of front travel to catch you.

[@MrBenstero]

Very well done on this build. Good to finally see you enjoy it properly and that you found a place to ride this thing at the speed it's meant to be driven. Congrats on this, prob your best build yet but the grave ninja is a close 2nd IMO.

[@nfra1663]

Nice to see you out enjoying your projects

[@williamramsey4431]

Awesome build. You’re fabrication skills are sick!!!

[@jesseshelby4383]

Hell yeah bro! Glad to see you rip that thing around. Keep bringing us these cool builds and don't forget to smash that skinny pedal! 💪

[@larrydavidson3402]

It seems to be working great Chris, Good job as always.

[@wellingtonsilva9554]

Good morning, my friend, I'm from Brazil, I'm making a bugg, I'm almost finishing the project, you were my inspiration to start doing my project ...

[@roadboogalabuilds5318]

Buggy looks awesome 👍🏻 great build

[@fvpaquetqc]

That was some proper send! Happy to see those big suspension do their job

[@lylesmith3451]

That thing is sick. Great build man. Amazing

[@transformationproject3583]

Wow that thing rips!

[@bryduhbikeguy]

It's so Great to see you out enjoying one of your builds. Well done!

[@Riprock296]

Been following you for years!!! Man your skills have come a long long way! Be proud of this creation dude… Can’t wait to see the future builds!

[@200mmonster4]

Wow what a beast of a build. Gonna get even better as you work the bugs out. 👍👍👍

[@arafatmotogarage]

Man ur riding skill r increasing I had been watching u for a quiet long time and now I can say u got some skill on riding it.. and yes this machine is awesome keep up

[@Kalnuose]

Oh man… you should defibetly ask somebody to record you with fpv quad, it would be amazing!

[@stevo43068]

That is an incredible machine. Air shifter with paddles...

[@306GokartsCustomBuilds]

Awesome! Now thats a man that knows what he Built.

[@terryeasterday580]

Those TRAILS, that Track, ..... That place looks Awesome... A feller could break a lot of toys there. NOICE!!!!!

[@jacobbrewer5803]

Beautiful machine. Nice work. Looks and sounds like it performs excellent. I love it.

[@99milesaway41]

So much suspension travel, I love it!

[@MIKEH.777]

Man you made a bad ass buggy brother. Keep up the great work and God Bless you and your family. 💯🔥💪🏼👍👍🙏🙏✌😊✌

[@diablowigglz]

I always look forward to your videos and your creative content. I love seeing this beast rip and I hope because this week's video was short that we get a longer one this week! Love the content and keep it up dude, you're my favorite channel!

[@hrsey71]

you definitely worked the bugs out! it rips now! great job

[@thomaspryor8202]

Nice to see you get on it!

[@grantbuxton]

Once again, sir you are an engineer/ fabricator of the the highest degree

[@thestinkywizard]

Great job bub, thing looks so smooth taking all the hits.

[@bloodredhornet2704]

Good stuff. Great machine.

[@MrBennyboyC]

Nothing broke. That's a big win. Great machine

[@bucklebrushjones1969]

It was nice meeting you guys in durhamtown. Looking forward to picking your brains on stuff for mine. Hope you get the chains situated.

[@Mitchell94]

I like the fact that you're just gliding through the forest at 3:26 (look @ tires)

[@brsrc759]

Damn that thing is wicked cool!

[@rcmadlabz2492]

Not mocking your bravery or driving skills, but seeing how much you want and need both hands on that steering wheel…*This is holding you back from shifting that machine as often as you could up/down thru the gears. (It’s a problem that needs resolving).

[@kolbyhardy6563]

Paddle shifters would do it

[@CementSmokeR1]

@@kolbyhardy6563 I’ve been thinking the same for a while now.

[@precisionboatbuilder]

Absolutely perfect!!!! What a machine 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👍🏼. I rather have that then a expensive side by side any day!

[@gamecockmike175]

Epic man! I'd be scared to death of the steering on that thing. I'd have to beef it up. Not the springs but the arms itself. I'm old. I don't need a steering rod snapping at 50 or 60 on a curve but what a custom build. Yes stay in the gas. Don't let the jumps scare you. I don't know how and it could be suspension travel but it was definitely keeping the front closer to the ground on the jump which in a way could be a good thing for control. This is like the 3rd time i've subscribed to this channel. It's a battle lately staying subscribed to some of you guys channnels. Great job. Keep up the good work. Stay safe. God Bless.

[@f.g.hammer6814]

Wow this was fast! A lot of power!

[@frankierutherford1888]

What a beast ! Well done

[@chrisgabbert658]

👍 I like, looks like a blast to drive 😊.

[@ernesthood3290]

Man that thing looks fun

[@oh_gosh_its_yash]

Looks like so much fun!

[@josealmeida8731]

The beast it's back, boys

[@marcellucassen8033]

Damn, that was pretty fast!

[@gertebert]

THAT WAS EPIC!!!

[@darrynruzicka2883]

Good job. You're getting there with building and driving,

[@edengates66]

HELLZ YA Great build

[@sagered8007]

Wow, looks nice!

[@waylonmartin4783]

Seems to ride like a mini trophy truck! So glad to see this project coming together at last!

[@acurarl9929]

Hell ya. You are a certified ripper. The cart as well. Great wrk

[@wessexjohn7031]

Looks like our national autograss specials in uk ❤

[@jhitt79]

I’ve been watching a lot of these homemade buggy type videos lately. I’m not the safest guy around but it blows my mind that none of you guys think about putting any leg restraints in. You roll that thing and your leg goes outside the cage what do you think will happen? Snap! Problems for life.

[@josealmeida8731]

It runs amazing, kickass

[@dalmatiangirl61]

All those trees on the edge of the trails are made out of 2x4's and baseball bats, keep that in mind.

[@nicolec7290]

Looks like a soft ride. Nice

[@thatdude4000]

Watching this makes me think how cool would it be to have a mad max style desert race event with all the custom buggies, that would be dope even the salt flats would be cool!

[@samsgarage1716]

Looks amazing.

[@tonybrabender5907]

Great video nice send!!

[@lizzard7473]

Awsome rip!

[@jeremiahaustin5253]

That was a good rip!

[@markmcknight9927]

If you haven’t talked to the shock company you bought everything from you should. They will help with nose dive and less up spring on acceleration. It looks amazing! You did a great job. Especially with the dual swing arm with long travel. That’s super impressive. Great job sir!

[@pauls466]

I think I said it before , you came a long way , congrats.

[@ded5630]

What a blast.

[@FarmerFpv]

That's a bad buggy, bro. Looks like a machine out of Mad Max. If you were going for a different look, my bad, lol. Tell DirtGearTv thanks for the awesome chase and follow shots. It really helped make the video. It was running real smooth from what I can see from the footage.

[@kaiwagner6601]

Stay on the gas coming off the jump but also you may want to take a little bit of preload out of the rear

[@phattony9057]

It sound like you would benefit from a little bit of a gearing change, your driving around at an unnecessarily high RPM and noticed you really have to shift quickly though the gears when you step on it...i could be wrong but even on the RPM gauge the needle was up there right on redline pretty much

[@leadgindairy3709]

yes i was noticing this too

[@waynebrown5428]

Awesome!!

[@bwxmoto]

That think is cool. Looks like it needs more rebound damping at the rear.

[@phill903]

That Buggy is badass ;-)

[@inspireonex]

He gave it hell!

[@SDRacing88]

HELL TO THE YEAH!!!!!!

[@MrDavesbronco]

Looks like it handled well

[@garyhill9516]

Nice man!

[@seansysig]

Chris, she's a beast and suspension seems to be spot on.

[@calholli]

It's still not as good as an expensive setup like Fox shocks or Elka long travel setups.. But it still works good enough for what it is. He should let a KrossKart driver do a few laps on this thing to really show what it can do. He still doesn't know how to ride right yet.. He's doing ok, but he's staying in a lower gear and high reving the engine much more than he should be. (he'll learn eventually, he's still young)

[@bratwurstbuster]

sick bro.....send it!!

[@73Bugman]

Say there Bro, that thing rips! Would like to see it in the Dunes. 👍

[@600wheel]

Hey brother looks like you would definitely benefit from some sway bars in that thing just make them so you can disconnect them for rock crawling activities

[@TheDestructor888]

He has one on the rear that he can disconnect.

[@kamikaze253]

Is suspension definitely isn't bad.

[@FarmerFpv]

It's not going to crawl over rocks any good. Not enough droop. It's more a highspeed track and trail buggy. He's building the rock bouncer to fill that void. It's tearing up the track.

[@robertbdees9913]

Looks like fun

[@Maubere-reac]

Im here to waching your great project 👍

[@scafe500]

That thing is awesome

[@salamgempakk9949]

Great job bro,by the way, i'm your subscriber from Malaysia 😅😅😅

[@foxwolfworkshed5080]

Well, this is and always will be awesome

[@geoffmaule4103]

Looks a lot of fun but you need a quick shifter so you don't have to take your hands off the wheel and distracting your self, very easy to fit to the cbr engine.

[@jamesrussell2936]

When making a jump you need to push the clutch pedal in so it doesn't jerk the transmission when it lands.

[@harrypatt7708]

Havnt watched this channel for a while, the coil overs look sick, definitely makes the numbs look like nothing
