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 😀

Here is the Construction of Independent Suspension and Nobody has built a multi-sniffer. Just like they have cars

[@chriskelvin248]

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

[@bradleyhoward2609]

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

[@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"

[@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!

[@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.

[@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.

[@Kris57277]

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

[@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!

[@alanwhitehurst2576]

Totally the best video on here well done keep up the good work ✌🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@vidos14]

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

[@Eury9819]

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

[@bansheebackwards]

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

[@ilmondodimassi]

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

[@darshanbudiya9172]

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

[@ashdk8711]

You definitely deserved that cup of tea

[@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.

[@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

[@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!

[@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

[@ran-co.5322]

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 😀

[@ripperbmw]

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

[@TomZelickman]

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

[@bghouse2853]

ide like a closer look at that diy lathe

[@CALIFASgarcia]

Great job on the crosskart buggy build 👍💯

[@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 ?

[@krazed0451]

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

[@scottkran]

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

[@ptreeau1]

So simple but very effective great to see

[@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

[@dave6572]

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

[@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!!

[@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.

[@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😲👌🏻

[@haisupercar]

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

[@ScrapMansWorld]

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

[@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

[@gemamulyaart650]

sangat menginspirasi bro... good👍 very nice...🙏 jangan lupa ngopi dulu...😁

[@carloscorona6649]

Is this only good for a bottom mounted engine or can we use something like a Triumph 1050 speed triple which is cradle mounted? Love watching your videos!

[@jancvdweide6646]

you can use any engine block, it makes no difference to the engine whether it hangs in a full cradle frame or an open cradle frame, a block from an open cradle frame will have a somewhat stronger crankcase

[@TheOldKid]

Pretty crazy you just had a commercial play of a family owned small business in my hometown.

[@Shimozilla-n2v]

very good metalwork skill

[@jelly7310]

Push those welds when you can. Cool build

[@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

[@maxxproductions7749]

Cant wait for these plans!

[@JacobSherwood]

Such quality content

[@marauding4life]

Let me start by saying the skills you possess at your age you’ve got a VERY awarding future ahead of you! Seriously, all the money and tools in the world will never make the man, you’re either born with it, will learn it over a lifetime, or you should just stop and realize your talents are perhaps something not in the fabrication world and move on. Here you are with simplistic tools in a very small shop and your teaching me a 47 year old who would like to think he’s pretty damn good at fabricating (mostly the CAD element as I’m just old enough where I understand enough of it but never use it and end up doing it old school trial and error because that’s simply all there was when I was young) But the small stuff that you show like lining up your mounting plates square so many people would never do and fight it all the way to completion scratching off powder coating and still end up with a dog walking cart LOL.. You may not realize it but you’re teaching in many ways that you probably take for granted and don’t even know it! Great job! The only thing I wish was improved would be the addition of splined surfaces instead of welding. But with having to source out a shop willing to do a small job and not charge ludicrous money and taking forever because more important jobs making more money keep you on the back burner just isn’t in the budget on a cheap kart build so I totally get it.

[@homemade_madness]

Thanks so much!

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

[@RattleCanCustoms]

You, sir, are a genius!

[@hiddentrailbossbros.6647]

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

[@garageguy5174]

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

[@homemade_madness]

That's the plan!

[@velledevlog6051]

Brilliant work bro love from Pakistan

[@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

[@tylerlanders9482]

Next video please I'm ready to buy these plans

[@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.

[@troycrowder9942]

nice work i like the way you do things

[@asdfghjkllkjhgfdsa-i9i]

Tu jest Budowa Niezależne Zawieszenie a Nikt nie zbudował Wielo wąchacz.

[@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.

[@davidefraanje9843]

Heb je die metale plaatjes soms bij staaltje vakwerk laten slijpen?

[@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

[@gamingwithhunter4902]

When will plans be ready for purchase.

[@GreayInAk]

You should revist your breakes and make the caliper and disk floating.

[@turbodog99]

Wear safety glasses with drills and taps. They can shatter with no warning

[@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

[@niamhquinlan5135]

this guy should get an oscar !!

[@knight19711]

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

[@yordiekemp9672]

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

[@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

[@onlysaying7745]

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

[@atifraja80]

hi, I am watching your videos with full interest. I wana make this project in Pakistan. I don't know if I can get all material in there. but still I will love to have this made by myself. let me know your drawing of full project will be available.

[@beetlenuts2616]

What is your website address? When will the plans be available.? I've started gathering the parts you have recommended, just need the plan set and templates. Regards, [e-mail]

[@homemade_madness]

Hi, they will be available soon on my website homemade-madness.com

[@LSturboguy]

in your part of the bearing and flange you could try scotch keying it 8 or a 10mm grub screw

[@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.

[@robinmanfredsson8745]

Wow, it's just perfect. Nice work. 💪👌

[@BeekersSqueakers]

I would be terrified of metal shards getting in my coffee

[@ezraanderson842]

This whole project is Amazing, but I got one question. What is the model of those drive shafts ?

[@ezraanderson842]

Or is it shown in the plans ?

[@StraightOuttaTheSandbox]

When and where can we buy the plans? I'm ready to start building!

[@Centurion.]

How much this build cost you ? This is amazing and can you make several of these and export it to other countries?

[@kingtut5923]

That was funny all the smoke.

[@brian856]

Finally pt3

[@alexzweeres2092]

You could cut that shaft in half with a coupling in the center

[@ZrubekFamily]

This is awesome! Cant wait for the next episode.

[@jodelgadillo4877]

Great videos 👍.very informative.thank you

[@gigakhutsishvili1070]

you are very best !!! ❤️

[@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

[@cesarredaelli5153]

Hola qué tal? Soy de argentina y estoy haciendo uno similar!! Quería preguntarte cuando miden las parrillas de suspensión traseras? Muchas gracias y excelente trabajo

[@delandbrooks3291]

One question. How do you plan on getting the brake disc and the sprocket on? It doesn't look like their center holes will go over the bearings or mounting blocks for the bearings.

[@Bigguy57100]

Hi When will your plans be available on your website. Eagerly waiting to start building.

[@TheMetalsoft09]

Fantastic build

[@dannycoultas265]

The longer drive shaft would be adaptable with only a cutting wheel and welder the end you cut short can just cut around weld as its got a plug bit at cv that goes in about 1/1.5” split it cut it size the weld together, thats how factory does it

[@clos3yourey3s]

How do you plan to get the sprocket on the driveshaft/ how do you plan to make sprocket swapping available?? The inside diameter of your sprocket doesn't look like it will clear the acceptor plates you've welded onto the driveshaft, or the square blue bearing housings you've trapped on the driveshaft.

[@cedrift08]

Beau travail . Mais comment fera tu pour changer le disque de frein ? Au cas ou il y aurait de casse . Bonne continuation . franchement tu gère la cintreuse.

[@charlesbanks639]

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

[@aroncharlwood1777]

For future reference if you go to a tractor supply's they sell splined shaft and coupler sleeves

[@sansarabonorangdariulu959]

Good. Now I got an idea. Thanks

[@cartech91]

Good job

[@chavink1]

I'd like to see your completely built and all fine adjustment/tuning to your drawing. Perhaps, you made some errors in the built and/or drawings. $25 is a deal. Good luck for the rest of the project. Cant wait to see the as built drawing and hearing the burning tyres.

[@srirangaabakari6875]

How will you change the sprocket since you welded the drive shaft??

[@sammyandrey5308]

19:10 u can drill the pipe and welding inside too

[@dwiyanto6795]

You good.........👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🤔🤔🤔🤔

[@rustycrum2884]

What is the type of pipe you are using and the size / gauge? Impressive set of skills for someone so young, awesome..... Are your plans available and how do I purchase?
