We hit a big milestone on this video and I decided I'm going all out on this build! Meanwhile you guys can check out Part 2 where I finally ride it. Thank you for Watching!

"invests" not "wastes". it is a trade, that is worth it, if you can do the round trip for less than $20. however, it is true: you can't save all of the $20.

[@22richardsmith]

40 minutes so 1:20 round trip so probably burnt 20 in fuel but hey the savings!!

[@supermarioisacat]

Very refreshing to see someone using all the right tools, properly while wearing a reasonable amount of PPE. Nicely done.

Awesome! This build is going to be sweet! I'm so glad you decided to do it! I don't think you will, but don't paint it. The blue looks great as is. I'm looking forward to part two!

[@therocky1157]

That's a huge engine! Want to see that ripping

[@larsvegas1505]

huge engine but not huge power... more like 20hp... u can get a 250 cc honda engine and get 50 hp out of that... or like 900 cc engine that does 150+ hp.. now thats some real power..

[@ActivityPhoto]

Lots of displacement but no horsepower. He should have picked up a used motorcycle engine with transmission instead.

[@MrTheHillfolk]

@@larsvegas1505 You can score new name brand engines like Briggs ebay for the same price as the Chinese junk you can't get parts for. I scored a 24hp Briggs shipped for 740 recently. Have fun getting parts for that engine.

I’m sick of people using lawnmower engines instead of race motors cr250r crf450r they both make more than double in horsepower.

[@jeffreyculberth1440]

@@MrTheHillfolk at this point id just consider predator a name brand. They do make replacement and performance parts and theyre even the required engine at lots of kart race tracks

[@vallartalocal.foodtoursteq4651]

Great job my friend. I already subscribed. . I bought a Chinese dune buggy, super cute, but it began falling apart right away. . In a span of 6 months I had to call the tow truck 5 or 6 times. The electrical components were of the lowest quality. I had to change many parts. I had already spent about 10% of what I paid for it brand new. The warranty was very limited. . BUT, I love it. Where I live is street legal, and finding a parking space is a breeze.

[@lomsomesGarage]

Another great build on its way keep up the good work brother

[@jasonhudson5861]

Man you creating dope vids I absolutely love this Chanel

[@mikeschoolcraft21]

I know that the power is double, you will need to weld some gussets and truss to the frame and suspension.

[@motonut4503]

I had one of these buggys for my goddaughter (served with her father in Iraq in 09) we took her in shortly after, had a blown motor and saved for months to be able to afford a used 600cc motor to swap in it, whilst it was in the yard on the trailer, criminals broke the lock and hauled both of them away, she was devastated but I'm not sure who was more upset, her or me. Someday we hope to get another buggy and swap the motor so we can ride together.

[@eriktruchinskas3747]

Wow that really sucks I'm sorry man. People who steal others motor vehicles deserve to be tortured. Every time I see videos of people stealing motorcycles it pisses me off

This thing is gonna RIP! The engine you pulled out is actually a GY6 150cc, my personal favorite engine tbh. Yeah, as a person who's been running Chinese scooters for almost four years, the frames and the engines are good....its just the stuff ATTACHED to the frames and engines that are horrible lol. I'm honestly surprised the 670 fit!

CHINESE DUNE BUGGY MOSTLY KNOWN for FALLING APART 😁😂🤣 ROFLMFAO

[@megadawg342]

I've owned over a dozen Chinese Buggies. Dazon, Joyner, KANDI, Carter, Dune, ROKETA,...etc. 150's w the GY6 air cooled motor, and 250's with the CN250 water cooled motor. All very reliable and inexpensive to modify, upgrade, and repair and replace parts. To this day you can get anything and everything you need from several sources, ebay and buggydepot are great sources. Bang for the buck,.. these are untouchable!! I raced motocross, a local champ. Know what I'm talkin' about.

[@isaacsanchez7317]

Bro everything is made there

[@arberfilms5998]

If you tighten the bolts regularly or add threadlocker to your bolts you shouldn’t have a problem with things ‘falling apart’

Aye that's cool I live 20 minutes away from Dalton, GA

[@C-NoteMac]

Keppin' it true all Chinese with the Harbor Freight engine. 😂✌

[@northwoodsrippers9639]

@Vasily Custom Builds I highly recomend that if you could to get a older polaris Trail Boss trans because it will have High, Low, Neutral, Reverse and you can hook up a speedometer to it, You wouldn't have to worry a bought the 670 blowing up those trans because they can actually take a lot of power. and also with the polaris trans, you could hook the secondary clutch from the cvt kit for the 670 right up to the trans and they are not even that big either

[@miketran1228]

Kid knows a lot for his age. 👏

[@bigtextrucker1825]

Was that a V-Twin from Harbor Freight? My guess from the looks of it... That buggy is gonna scream!👍

Do a turbocharged 670 I bet it would be much easier to do on a v twin than on a single cylinder

[@megadawg342]

I just sold a BAJA Dune 150 which is almost identical and also made by Tomberlin. I love the GY6 150's. Very reliable and very tuneable. Performance CDI's and Coil and Plug pkgs are $10 on ebay. The weights (SlidersvRollers??)in the front pulley of the Torque Converter are also $10 a set, and a 1500RPM Torque Spring set for the rear Clutch assembly is $10. Foam air filter and 125 main jet will cost you $10. All on ebay. Find CarsandCameras here on youtube. Kindred souls.

[@bobbystaley9709]

The 420 has so much more power than that anyways
