[@dloadthis1617]

Hi Zack, You know 1000% more how to customize things than most people do. You don't have to apologize to anyone for the decisions you make. You're a fine young man and will go far in life. God bless you! 👍😃👍

[@nizzurtmontalgizzert3337]

Building in crocs, the stuff of legend.

[@instrumentsponge]

Awesome job! I was actually trying to get ideas to build my parents and electric wagon for bringing firewood into the house from the wood shed. This would be perfect as they already have a gorilla cart like yours. Thanks for making this video!

[@toddwilliams1689]

I built one of these at the end of 2019 for hauling stuff when we go to our son's baseball games. I used a small safe for the battery box and have let and usb voltmeter attached into it. I can throw keys, wallet and etc in it when at game or beach. Glad to see you posted the video. I couldn't find anything like this when I was looking and wasn't about to pay the price for a built one.

[@mopar_dude9227]

You definitely have skills! This would be great for going to swap meets, after pulling a bunch of car parts around on a hot summer day, I am dead. I really like the hook to attach another cart to. The only thing that would be nice is a freewheel type of system. There are times when you have little to nothing in it and really don’t need to waste battery life. Can’t wait to see what you do next.

[@kevinthemayor]

Thanks I just bought a groundwork cart with 16 inch tires from tractor supply to aid me in collecting driftwood but the more rocky the beach is the harder it is to steer and pull

[@kaydesign]

Had this idea to years ago. Never got to it. Super nice to watch your inspirational channel!

[@shaunrobens5666]

That’s awesome. You should see if you could figure out a way to connect one of those potable solar panels to it to charge while you’re at he beach. Thi way you wouldn’t have to worry about the battery dying on you an you can keep the charge topped off.

[@racrx7]

Kool! I built one years ago using an anglers Fish n mate cart and drive axle from a mobility scooter. Works great

[@kennethwehrs8924]

Jump cuts/transitions were really cool and unique. You get better at this with every new episode. Keep it up!

[@joev1779]

Great project! Any update on how it works with dry sand?

[@Cartier_specialist]

I'm thinking you might have should've went with a belt drive because sand and chains with oil might not be a good match.

[@twowayyo11]

I actually prefer chains even in a salt water environment. Pick up a can of T9 Boesheid and treat the chain and sprockets once a month they will last indefinitely.

[@justintothetruth]

I tried that with my “covid cart”. Just wasn’t able to get to work. Went with timing chain double row of teeth.

[@victorbenner539]

I'm curious about where you got your components from. Also I think a high/low range gearing system should be added so you have better control when climbing a somewhat difficult slope of sand and safer control in tight spaces. But great build. I've been considering motorized my beach cart. But more importantly my large smoker for going to the farmers market and bbq competitions. She weights 1200lb. I'm going to need a BIG motor for her. But rarely ever need to move more then 50'. Have a great day 🌤.

[@joyridaz]

Dude that is an amazing project!

[@MRLAW243]

Great video man, but, those wheels won't work in the soft sand, I'd love to see the test video here on KZbin

[@suttonsutton3642]

Built this cart with the 1K watt motor. Took it for a test spin today. Cart hit 26mph with me on it. Probably illegal in some states. I love it I got a voltage regulator to take the cell phone charger from 48V to 12V. Picked it up on Amazon for $18. The charger linked is 24V max and if you use it on a 48V system you will fry it. I added a digital safe and put the ignition in the safe. I placed the safe in the rear of the cart. Fit perfectly. I'll post up video soon and place it in the comments. Thanks to OP for the build!

[@FatMatt63]

Think there's a way to use electric drill batteries like they do on power wheel conversions?

[@walkstheman98]

I had an idea like this as a kid, its cool to see it made finally

[@rich.trails]

Looks great, though you should put a support arm going from the axle area to the motor mounting area. If you demand enough torque from it, you'll pull the axle forward as it is.

[@jonasbaine3538]

Indeed. I take this video as an open source blueprint that everyone can modify as needed. Him posting this video is good enough to get started.

[@dgriffin6074]

Very useful. Thank you. Please give followup as to whether brakes are really necessary, at least on the beach.

[@ShaiShots]

So cool exactly what I was looking for thank you

[@chrisk6255]

can you throw a solar panel on the side or where ever for a trickle charge when out and about so you are all ways topped off? AND how far did it go befor it died Yards,feet, miles?

[@mpranklife4147]

bro i love your edits

[@Hackbridge1963]

We have the red one you were pulling, but I often think how great it would be if it could be electrified. Great build.

[@Bicketybam68]

Cheers mate, nice editing.

[@suttonsutton3642]

Another interesting and well executed project, keep the variety coming it is innovative and entertaining!! BTW..Thanks for all the links.

[@mycapstone]

Great build. What are your thoughts on salt corrosion?

[@madinventor69]

Your a Rock Star Bro!! Great Job.. 😉👍🏼

[@NicoSuaveee]

The music in the transitions sounds exactly like the background elevator music they play in the terminals at Southwest Florida international airport but with some more hip hop beats added 😂

[@bradley3549]

Cool project. Though I was so distracted by the crocs that I missed all the details. Something like this with a linear dump actuator would be super handy around the yard!

[@victorpatino690]

This was an amazing project. I dont need it to go 20mph. But I do need ot to truck through the sandy beaches. 500w 1000w 2000w.🤔

[@ryanhill4918]

That’s pretty dope man

[@stxferalboys]

Awesome video! awesome idea! Great job.

[@PictureChasers]

You get a sub for that one, thank you!

[@noseasmamut]

Wow! Looks great, thanks for the idea.

[@cuescues1]

Nice work. The link for the axle shows it without a chain. Any info on that would be nice and the square tube dimensions would be awesome too. Thanks in advance.

[@TheTomar33]

What motor did you end up using?

[@dishconnect06]

I’ve looked over all the comments and can’t seem to find a parts list you used. Any chance you could help me out. Wanting to build one for travel ball tournaments.

[@freddym1873]

Can you provide a link to the motor controller and perhaps something showing how everything is wired if that's not too much to ask? Thanks. Great build.

[@jasonkeller5732]

Really cool idea. You make some great stuff. Someone commented that you wanted to haul around some beer. I think it was to get your girlfriend to the beach like a queen. Maybe you should get a 2 person wide plastic molded L shaped bench seat that doesn't take up to much room for the front. Could you make the handle longer with a knuckle joint in the middle so you could fold it back to steer while sitting or lock it straight to pull it? Just a few ideas. Can you make a video on how you started welding and some basics of how to get started? I miss living in FL. Now I see why samcracc is your neighbor.

[@ggarcia432]

can you explain the wiring? you now have 4 batteries but the volt meter still read 24 volts???- how did you connect the wires? please advise

[@entername5706]

How many herspauwer do u think this puppy would make with a couple of turbskiis?

[@jasonherrera64]

Can you do a walk through of the wiring harness i built this car but can't figure out the electrical?

[@rona5945]

Did u figure out the wiring?

[@dragonskunkstudio7582]

Don't leave a lead acid battery uncharged, it really shortened its life span. You can charge them 2 at a time if you connect the 24v charger between battery pairs.

[@metalwood7225]

What was the max load it can take? Nice build btw :)

[@NathanFutrell]

This is very nice. What kind of welder do you use for your custom metal work and component mount points?

[@ultimaterebuilds7127]

Eastwood mp200i

[@ryanokeefe12]

Next time, just use hoverboard motors.. they're hub motors so no need for chains and other linkages and they have active braking, so no need for the disc brake system.

[@dcallan812]

sweet idea.

[@garykerney2488]

Your eBay link for the wheels doesn’t work anymore. Where can I find float wheels that aren’t free spinning?

[@ggarcia432]

not sure you are still on this video, but im confused with the motor and batteries, you said 48 volt motor, but had 2 12v batteries, then *said 24 volt motor but 24 volt motor is not 500 watt. can you please clarify as i am trying to purchase these things to make my beach wagon...thanx from Brownsville, Texas!

[@glegalee]

Nice transitions. Awesome upgrade. Great work!

[@pdk005]

Great build and thanks for the detailed build list. Any chance you will post that sand follow up on KZbin?

[@diecast_MikeEspo]

Very cool , awesome work .

[@garrygutier]

Any updates on actually testing the cart on beach sand then appose to a go cart circuit pavement. Let's get to it! I need an update if this Radio Flyer actually worked.

[@Docblogs]

Brooo where you located in Fl ? I need your help with building an RC beach wagon !

[@pacman4568]

You are adding more weight to the cart, this will have an adverse effect on how much the cart sinks into the sand, even with balloon tyres.

[@charmnGUY]

Great job

[@kiyomiswan4871]

absolutely practical...is there a way to use variable speed control? well done project !

[@hypnosiscenternyc]

I want one !

[@markchristmas4465]

those gorilla carts are beasts! just curious about how the battery will stand up to the salt water being on the bottom w/ no cover.....great video and thanks for sharing!

[@blakerh]

Very nice editing job! It takes me a long time to edit videos and I don't do any tricks.

[@tank5944]

Wish I had your talent - How much was the total cost?

[@bigospig]

Awesome idea! I only see a link for the motor.

[@ultimaterebuilds7127]

Thank you! I updated the list.

[@mixmasters23]

Hi there, I’m actually using your video as a exact replica. Where can I find wheels for this axel?

[@Appalachiannative]

How’d it do in the sand for those of us who don’t have Instagram

[@Rupert_Schmurdoch]

how long would charge on the batteries last on something like this? im looking to build something similar for music festivals where we do quite a bit of walking. even to put my wife in and cart her around when i still want to party.

[@dylanlee5713]

What chain did you use

[@Hesperos81]

Is it possible to make the red wagon u got there electric???

[@darktechfst3424]

you see heavy duty trolley, I see a potential making it transportation... personal transportation and why used battery? if you can make it like quadbike ... recumbent quadbike bro lol

[@marcfeiner3383]

Great Job. I want to build one with a 1000Watt/48 Volt Brushless; do I have change the Amp on the Controller. Does it work with 32" Axle use 6" Wheeless tires on a 5/8" Axle? I would use the Gorilla Wagon 56x25x44. You did an excellent Job, something for Shark Tank

[@james-personalsouthernskyf8362]

Any update on how it performed on the sand after?

[@chrisgoldbach4450]

Hook me up when you make some money off the idea please. Tank tracks for the sand. The wheel movement for the angles and turns is the tricky part to make the tracks work.

[@bigcartoonyIIV]

Make life easy for myself. How much would you charge to build me one like this? I want to haul building materials with mine

[@ts0ngk0]

Where to buy motor and axle?

[@theadventuresofshellyandfr5618]

It’s going to suck in the sand without sand tires. Or low pressure tires. And it would be better with 4x4.

[@oncewaslost1982]

That is so awesome!

[@coolissimo69]

Great editing.

[@paulphillips5411]

I would pay so much money to have one of these! Anyway I could buy it off you?!

[@marvinhunger8169]

What was the TOTAL cost of everything ?

[@annettefebo-jp1nm]

I wish I had one of ECarts

[@dloadthis1617]

🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆 Beach Cart Award 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆

[@REYKING-Muzic]

Great job , but I have one thing to say young man . Solar charger ?? Let nature take half the battles and replenish the beach venture. Hey that's a great name for it " Haha

[@Sponge1310]

I’m guessing you already thought of this, but make sure you protect the batteries and electronics from the sand and salt water at the beach... those things don’t play very well together 😅

[@tony_25or6to4]

Could you have put the sprocket in the center of the axel or bought one with the sprocket in the center?

[@ultimaterebuilds7127]

The axle I bought wasn’t compatible for that. But I’m sure you could find one that will work.

[@backtoblack2393]

Good job ...

[@jackielapointe5871]

Does it go reverse?

[@keithmiles30]

Little dude, some engineering company needs to snatch you up. You can turn a turd into a Tesla. Great video as always.

[@2fast4you25]

Wont the mini bike charger work on it ??? 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

[@misipeaufa6713]

You are very talented what type of mig welder are you using.

[@ultimaterebuilds7127]

A shitty one. Hoping to upgrade soon

[@PairOfHounds]

What speed controller

[@justintothetruth]

Guys I think his little magic time travel is just video editing And taken to far but Kenneth likes m⬇️

[@markgebel8003]

Can you please tell me where you bought that kit?

[@mavok1984]

Please where was the charging unit?

[@dctaken]

He could be the cousin of overly attached girlfriend. Lol. Hope this channel grows.

[@jroddy1]

Great review of a DIY beach cart not tested or reviewed on the beach. 🤔🤦

[@tazblink]

Never showed it in the sand. Whats that tell you?

[@1Ninjago_fan]

Awesome. Does that brake work ok in the Sand?

[@ultimaterebuilds7127]

J Viramontes never really use the brake

[@1Ninjago_fan]

@@ultimaterebuilds7127 The Sand is your Brake. My son out grew his electric quad. Gonna convert to Beach Cart. Many thanks for links may need sources for parts.

[@theejoeylee]

Now weld a bike to the front....electric cargo trike hahaha

[@jbatic8094]

how much weight can this move?

[@Bruises-Bandages]

What was total cost of build
