[@keyproductions100]

nice, I don't like the way you mounted the rear suspension though, the bar at the bottom of the swing arm will constantly try to snap off while under load leading to a catastrophic failure

[@rondg2]

yeah great build except for that rear swingarm. that bar at the bottom could've been stronger if he welded it on top, that way the shock would be pushing it instead of pulling against the welds, but even that wouldn't be really structurally sound. also the triangulation of the swingarm is all wrong. the shock mount should be at the top of the triangle in order to get the strength from that shape

[@sheanyquist]

If I welded the shock on top, the shock would have been either sticking up through the seat into your butt or at a completely unusable angle.

[@rondg2]

@@sheanyquist copy the Kuberg Freerider swingarm but place the shock mount a bit lower. it's a structurally sound design. with your fab skills you could definitely do it.

[@keyproductions100]

@@sheanyquist im not being an internet arsehole or anything, just pointing out something that "could" be important to your physical wellbeing in the future, but I see your problem with the shock length, just something to think about on your next build,

@@sheanyquist IDK why your reply didn't come through to my notifications, but I'm always down to help people out with their drones, I go out towards morgan hill a lot. If you ever want to hook up and email me [e-mail] 15 acres damn you should hold drone races and make some money. We are always looking for places to give our money too for holding drone racing events. Give me 3 days and I'll have you flying like a pro! I also took my new build for a test drive and a speed run. So far managed to hit 144 km/h with throttle left but got scared to give it more throttle as it's a rigid beach cruiser type frame lol. The second run hit 154km/h I really got nervous as I'm used to full suspension bikes. I have video proof BTW just don't want no drama on my KZbin channel from the KZbin Safety squad lol. I can send it to you the video by other means.
