What kind of tubing bender are you using in this vid?

[@tonyw2960]

Hi do you have plans for a 2 seat Cross kart? I have a triumph 955i engine to put in it and have an old Chinese buggy I was going to reinforce and completely strip and rebuild but a new frame would probably be nicer that only bit remains of the Chinese buggy is the registration number so it can be made road legal 😀

One day a company will hire a brilliant young engineer who will propel the company to greatness ,and i will say “ yeah I remember him I watched his KZbin channel “ I have been working in my garage for 45 years and I’m now 61 years old and still not as good as you . Well done young man I look forward to more videos

[@iamandreja]

Mr. Bradley, your words encourage me. When I look people making this stuff on KZbin, I am thinking that I am completely useless but now I know that this guy is a whole new level. I should get off KZbin and do something :)

[@nikolamilenkovic8441]

He is a good mechanic in development...

[@jameseley3098]

i agree with u this man is great most plans u look at to day u have to change them but they way this guy do it is great

[@chriskelvin248]

HUGE fan of your series here! High-tech design, low-tech tools, low-cost parts!!! The essence of fun DIY garage builds!

[@Ozarkprepper643]

You are quite skilled! Love how you show a person doesn't have to have the Shop full of expensive tools. Just capable Tools in capable hands. Keep designing and building. I started with carts when I was young. Then progress to cars and 4 x 4's and finally ultralights and airplanes. The thrill of Designing and Building never grows old. And The Only Thrill that matches it, is when you use it for the first time.

[@sammaxwell6217]

Epic work mate. It’s so refreshing seeing and listening to a bloke just build something. Not like watching 90% of American build videos where they go on and on and on! Good stuff!

[@11green11]

Excellent work my friend ! Do not forget to install the grease zurk fittings on your pillow-block bearings and grease them regularly for long life since your live axle is "sacrificial"

[@blakelang2574]

yo I have got to see a video on that lathe.... need that in my life

[@tomcarranza810]

Damn’ I have a lathe and many tools to do this project but THIS dude did it with just a few tools! Respect my Friend! 💪

[@thomasingle9954]

Man that is amazing. You are one smart individual. I truly enjoyed watching you work.

[@TomZelickman]

Looks like it's coming along nicely! Really looking forward to trying this myself.

[@DastardlyDan69]

Truely inspiring, keep up the incredible work

[@bansheebackwards]

This is awesome. I wish I had the skill and time to do this. Keep it up. This is some fantastic work!

[@tomwagemans1872]

Gocarts have a solid axel as well. You can take them apart. Maybe you can look into it for ideas so stil can get to the bearings for maintenance. Like always a interesting episode!

[@ripperbmw]

Awsome work dude, i will buy your plans when you finished!

[@MrCrankyface]

Beautiful work, can't wait to see it drive. Hope you get lots of video racing around!

[@ptreeau1]

So simple but very effective great to see

[@ScrapMansWorld]

So damn great to see you build new cool things with old stuff! soo inspiring! thanks for the great videos!!

[@maxxproductions7749]

Cant wait for these plans!

[@ashdk8711]

You definitely deserved that cup of tea

[@ZrubekFamily]

This is awesome! Cant wait for the next episode.

[@hiddentrailbossbros.6647]

Damn, you are one smart man. Skill on skills forsure.

[@joshwillett13]

Listen kid, I gotta say, you make some of my biggest childhood ambitions and dreams into a reality. It's a bit regretting that I didn't have the drive, know how and in all honesty, amazing talent that you clearly possess, but at least I am motivated and inspired to try it now as I turn 50 years old. So let me say a huge sincere and heartfelt thank you for the videos!!! I will definitely use your plans.

[@scottkran]

Very cool , I too, am waiting for the plans.

[@Elitesniper257]

A quick tip for the axles, when you go to the scrap yard pull off the hubs that go on the trans itself. You can modify them so you don't have to make your own custom ones. Plus if you ever break something you don't have to start from 0, just go pull another hub and use that.

[@ilmondodimassi]

You're a young genius. Beautiful video, Bro. Greating from Italy. Max

[@darshanbudiya9172]

Waiting for the plans... Make them available soon...

[@buckywharton3594]

I just came across this young man's channel. Very clever and ingenious. I believe if you had a big shop full of equipment you'd be dangerous. Ha ha. I wish all the best for you. Your very creative. Don't ever give up.

Just watched this what a talented fella I think u was about 4 minutes into the vid when I paused it to buy the plans 😀

[@brian856]

Finally pt3

[@keithgoff3272]

Someone please buy this guy some tools!!!!!!! This young man is very talented.

[@dave6572]

I’m glad that you said that you was going to weld up the joints

[@wwc4c777]

Suggestion cut axle in middle put precision sleeve to join two halves together should have enough room between sprocket & brake disc to make sleeve long enough to be strong enough. That way each axle half could slide out allowing replacement of bearings & disc or sprocket.Use of quick change sprocket recommended if available.Awsome build I want a set of plans as soon as they are available! Would love to go tear up some dirt with you some time!

[@Kniv35]

Great build so far, might i suggest in a few spots drilling half into the cv adapter and half into the driveshaft tapping and running a long grub screws to act similar to a keyway setup. The shaft could also be bored and tapped with a bolt and large washer to capture the grub screws so they cannot back out.

[@homemade_madness]

Hmm thats actually not that bad of an idea😲👌🏻

[@CALIFASgarcia]

Great job on the crosskart buggy build 👍💯

[@jodelgadillo4877]

Great videos 👍.very informative.thank you

Waiting for the next video so I can finish this build! Roll on next one!

[@jelly7310]

Push those welds when you can. Cool build

[@manueltovar4821]

You got some real talent my friend great job on everything you make it all look so easy when its really not great job once again man awesome work and skills you got

[@troycrowder9942]

nice work i like the way you do things

[@Kris57277]

Kan je ook een video maken over hoe je die draaibank hebt gemaakt? Lijkt me heel interessant👍

[@gigakhutsishvili1070]

you are very best !!! ❤️

[@garageguy5174]

You should do two passes on welding the the rear axle up, great vids!!

[@homemade_madness]

That's the plan!

[@kevinsmith7274]

Nice looking job mate

[@dumbasscountryboy]

Awesome work my friend and I always look forward to seeing your videos!!! Can’t wait to get the plans for this build.

[@homemade_madness]

Thanks 👍

[@eddieluna113]

[@MiaKhalis]

very good metalwork skill

[@Trex450S]

Awesome work!!

[@sansarabonorangdariulu959]

Good. Now I got an idea. Thanks

[@knight19711]

Great videos, can not wait for the plans. Can your plans include a side by side (2 seater) version?

[@Pazair-nq6gl]

Genial bro, de nuevo mil gracias 🤙

[@haisupercar]

very professional and definitely i like your work and i am also making cars that i like hoping to exchange experiences

[@amateurastronaut5006]

Differentials are pretty easy to make. You can make one from a Mazda miata 1.5 litre without specialized tools. Anyways you should put a keyway in that shaft. Maybe tap a hole in the end and use a big washer on it to hold it together.

[@xibidit]

You should check out the honda half shaft, i think it is present on the H22 motor, maybe other motors as well. Sits as an extention i think to have equal length drive shafts. Maybe that can work as rear center shaft in some way. Replaceable as well :p

[@maxxproductions7749]

Cant wait!

[@tiagofernandes266]

Keep up the good work

[@GearScar]

Your axle shaft sleeves should have holes drilled in them so that you can do multiple plug welds onto the original axle shaft inside, this will greatly strengthen it

[@homemade_madness]

Thanks for the tip

[@Dominick13777]

Great work!!!

[@charlesbanks639]

Man's tape measure has seen some stuff🤣 nothing wrong with that

[@Alanbataar]

Don't forget to put the sprocket and brake disk on before you weld on the CV mounts! You'll have to cut the sprocket in half when it wears out!!

[@garygraham105]

Thank you for showing how you are testing and improving the plans before selling them. I have CBR forks too. Can you say how much suspension travel you are planning for the rear ? I would pay today for sure.

[@Dominick13777]

I thinking about doing a similar project. I want to make a quadricycle. A lightweight 4 wheel electric bicycle with two mid drive motors and a enclosed body. I like your design. However it would need to be very lightweight. Thanks for all the work, big help.

[@balboa8694]

Eres un genio!!

[@krazed0451]

Split the rear shaft in the middle and fit a keyed sleeve with through bolts into the shafts ;-)

[@lombok8992]

Emezing bro!!!!

Amazing! Now im a new subscriber!

[@abdoeshwehdi8489]

nice work bro ☺️ from libya

[@luisalbertoaleman3337]

I think you are the best I am impressed I have that project in my mind but I did not have a clear video I buy you the plan

[@sebastiandosamantes9237]

When you finish the geometry with the axles , I would recommend putting a rosette weld on each side on both of them , just to add a bit more strength to them , keep up the good work!!

[@vidos14]

Hi, check out what device I'm making on my channel, thanks

[@shintoxica]

You are very talented. This series i stumbled into has been very informative. I am curious to know if this Crosskart design is legal as a cross kart that can be raced in varying competative environments. American Rally Association just recently allowed cross karts and side by sides in. The US CrossKarts can be quite expensive and this looks like a proper solution for me to be able to compete with one.

[@BrianW2979]

I keep watching for the next video

[@stueedowse]

Same. I have the steel and bender ready and waiting. I hope he continues otherwise I'll be stuck looking for another set of plans made for a tall person

*Rất sáng chế đó. Trân trọng cảm ơn bạn nhiều nha. Chào bạn...*

[@ciobanuvalentinmail]

Good job home made but very good

[@yordiekemp9672]

Ben erg benieuwd naar provincie, en huidige werk/school status.

[@jarekmace1536]

Instead of welding the center shaft, you could mount an end mill into the lathe chuck and the axle into the tool holder. Field expedient mill! I saw Rather B Welding do several keyways like this. That would allow for the axle to be end drilled and tapped for a washer and bolt for retainer. as for the endcaps, there is no problem with a rounded keyway. just use a drill.

[@homemade_madness]

Could be done, but want to keep it simple for now

[@heatslakdat]

What a good job

[@TheDennyApple]

Weer een nieuwe, hoppaaa !

[@IryBud]

Owesome job

[@TheVegasbud]

You can mill the keyways with a drill press on both parts drill and tap end of shaft bolt center . Or just get serviceable zerked bearings and keep greased .. Is that 1" cold rolled shaft ?

[@ians1464]

Nice I am at a point to were I'm trying to figuring out how to tension my chain I have a pretty heavy Spring tensioner under the chain it's still a little long so it seems like I need some downward force on the top of it to because it wants to skip over the drive sprocket when I let off the throttle. O Mazda miata axles are pretty lightweight with flanges

[@BeekersSqueakers]

I would be terrified of metal shards getting in my coffee

[@dankooryuk1013]

I can’t wait for the plans! I’ll buy them in a heartbeat. All of us interested should make a forum so we can help each other in the process!

[@tommy.ak7826]

Maybe we could do a Discord?

[@edgarolvher8187]

I'm in

[@rickrandom716]

Man! my crashed 2005 Kawasaki zx1000r ninja engine would be perfect for that racer.

[@broskivisuals]

Cool. I'm building one. Send it to me? Lol

[@2wheelLove]

I would def cut a keyway. Sprockets, rotors, drive bearings...all need to be serviced. Future you isn't going to like your decision lol

[@DktheWelder]

Very well made ! Good that you print out those cutting patterns for the pipe, I just guess lol. How come front a arms are equal lengths? I made my top a arms shorter so you gain negative chamber as it compresses to help with cornering, like a trophy truck has. I have seen a lot of front suspension setups like yours on smaller buggies is it just for simplicity or does it function better?

[@homemade_madness]

The top one is shorter😅

[@DktheWelder]

@@homemade_madness lol , I had to make mine way shorter and not parallel for it to keep the wheel straight while leaning in a turn and also my wheels are way bigger, check it out if you like would be great if you have any advice. I am also have trouble with bump steer

[@bobleaich8899]

Axles, hubs, bearings, rotors, brakes, and knuckles are what I'm using in my build. They work great and aren't real pricey.

[@bobleaich8899]

All those parts are from a 90s Mazda miata.

[@tylerlanders9482]

Next video please I'm ready to buy these plans
