Man Your builds just keep getting nicer and nicer! Keep it up man.

[@petenyce5735]

This build is much higher quality than the other ones by far, especially it terms of materials used and how confident you are in your fabrication skills. Well done

[@homemade_madness]

You are the man! Awesome work🤙🏻 This thing will be so much fun to drive believe me😉

[@tstricklin4808]

That plate looks suspiciously like a bowl😂

[@kennethbushor1017]

Awesome job with the rear suspension I like how you built it But The upper control alarm I would put a brace underneath where the shock is at

[@BeeTourBo]

And please also put a brace between the upper shock mounts.

[@longsleevethong1457]

Yep

[@kenjohnson5498]

Watching the whole dust bowl crew makes me happy to see young men doing awesome fabrication and design, not as many left as one would think.

[@sentragint]

You should look into upgrading your press to the air/hydraulic jack from harbor freight. I have the same press as you and upgrading to that jack has made things soooo much easier.

[@Snugglez187]

You need to put a brace between those long upright frame tubes where the rear shocks are mounted or you're going to get flex right there. The whole rear end is probably going to flex without some bracing and reinforcement. It looks like it's going to be awesome though.

[@RadDadisRad]

Looks good but you might want to add stops and change your rear preload.

[@bryansmith5980]

Also add a bar between the tops of the shocks to keep the frame from collapsing on a hard impacts?

[@jonathanmaxwell8183]

If you pay attention when ur flexing ur rear a arms up and down its pushing ur jack shaft side to side so whenever both are flexing down at the same time its pushing on those axles

[@bapasrcadventures3619]

I wish you had that done when you went to the dust bowl 500 for that unlimited race through the woods.

[@2rueblue]

You are doing well, I will be honest and say way better than I thought, but I'm happy you are showing the full design and build process including all the upgrades to the design. Expect to do a lot as I think you will always be thinking of improvements as you deffinatly have the talent to take things a hell of a lot further. I think you will snap a few welds as it will surprise you the load that will be hitting those components once you get the cart going at full speed, it will be light but once you start cornering the g forces will soon start to stress every weld. I'm not criticising you or saying your welds are bad all I mean is as its all your own design you won't know how things are going to be effected until you get this brilliant little buggy working hard, so I would advise bringing the welder with you and a good inverter to run it if you do crack a weld when you are field testing it. But this looks amazing so far, well done and keep building sont stop with this one you really do have quite a bit of raw talent so keep keep it burning buddy. Really well done 👏

[@jimf5160]

btw, the closer you mount the shock to vertical, the more true your spring rate is to what it is rated. The more vertical the shock, the firmer the ride; the less vertical, the softer the ride (but less support, especially on cornering)

[@laymanengineer7502]

Absolutely my favorite build so far!

[@Nevertrustalawyer]

Going to need a spreader bar between the upper shock rod eyes. If you bottom out the shocks, something has to give.

[@DktheWelder]

Really cool I like that you are making it nice and light ! I built my buggy a bit overkill

[@murk1352]

Don't change a thing on this it looks so good! I mean do your thing on the suspension and make sure you're safe if it flipped but keep it simple and light weight. That thing looks so sick! Can't wait till it's done brother.....👍🏁

[@RileyTheMonster299]

Awesome dude you're really talented been watching you since the first buggy and you keep getting better and better. Great job on the suspension I am really glad you decided to do a cross-country cart I'm not going to lie I was disappointed with the motor you used on the other cart but in the end I get why. Can't wait to see what this thing can do!

[@artemiasalina1860]

How about welding a piece of pipe between the two top shock mounts to keep the roll cage from buckling at that point?

[@phill903]

The long-travel suspension looks awesome should work great ;-)

[@user-vr8xv5jz7r]

4:00 you need that food to get on the same smart level as Vasily

[@andrew753951]

Been watching your videos for a couple years now... Didn't realize until the cars and cameras race that your channel name is Vasily builds and not vastly builds

Chrome wheel are the way to go!!!

[@ryand.8176]

Great job! Looking great! Can’t wait to see you ripping it! After 30 years in restoring and building cars, I still revise, second guess myself and change mid stream, so don’t worry about it, normal in this kind of work!😁👍✊

lookin good Vasily

[@davidjessee7701]

Like chris..on that other channel?

[@awright9183]

Hey mate, awesome looking build design ya doing. Hope ya got alot of ideas from the resent meet up you guys had... can't wait till this is finished. Think an 1100cc would go nicely, only because it would be bigger then everyone else's engine size...lol hope ya stayn well, Ad from Oz. 🇦🇺🙃👎

Dude, I'm so impressed with the fabrication skills you have climbed too. You should be able to get a job anywhere as a fabricator/welder. God bless

[@janeblogs324]

Fab skills up, engineering still down :(

[@MarkMachine_]

Can this thing out preform monster max?

[@lennym1273]

You have off road tires on the front and road tires on the back, which is it going to be, an off road or track kart? If it's going to be an off road you might want more ground clearance...

[@jonasdorcinio9019]

esta perfeito a forma com que você projetou parabéns

[@BlackMetalRC85]

hi, for rc cars there is a set up tool that you screw onto the wheel hub and then you can adjust the camber, toe-in, caster, etc. do you want to build something like this for your buggies? that would be a great idea!

[@jeremykonkle4571]

Awesome!!!

[@SNELLERIZED]

No way is that rear a-arm mount on the upper front bolt going to be strong enough. You have no lateral support on it. Also, you're relying entirely on the strength of the bolt. Unless you add a supported flange on the front side of the hemi joint, that bolt will bend almost instantly. You can correct both issues with a laterally supported flange.

[@EJ-74]

If you would've had that thing ready you would have dominated the unlimited race Can't wait to see that beast rip 🔥👍✌️

[@maximumrpm1868]

Looking good

[@zangzang1268]

Safety safety safety my young brother. Disc brakes on all 4 corners with that performance level. Brake a rear axle and you have 1 wheel stopping power on the rear only - not good enough - both rear is marginal at best. That thing is going to be a rocket. Something I learned from Daryl "Madd Max" Ehrlich driving one of my uncle's drag boats. He would climb into the capsule with shin guards on his legs - smart guy. Beautiful build BTW.

[@kartguy]

Really coming along buddy! Looks sick!!!

[@pookysdad4884]

Meanwhile, I'm just trying to get my 5hp Briggs, my 3hp Briggs, or my 2hp Tecumseh running...🙄

[@jamesmcgee9279]

Man! I can't wait to see this rip! This kart is looking awesome!

[@toddabbott781]

You should see if there is a local machine shop that can laser cut the plates for you. I had a local guy that charged my $20 to cut out a 12" circle with 8 3/8" holes and a 3" center hole in 2 3/8 steel plates. That was 15 years ago, but still some things are cheaper to outsource than your time. If you can do your cad drawing and order a stack of them it might be even cheaper per peace. If you can save 10 hours of time and all the wear on your machines and drill bits and grinding wheels then it is worth it. Think of all the tabs, gussets, and brackets you could make for cheap... and even have some extras.

[@kylemcweeny878]

If you push the Sawzall against whatever your cutting it won't have a chance to bounce like it did at 2:23. Plus if your arms/saw itself are moving up and down then the blade is not. I used to cut like you are here until an older experienced fabricator taught me this trick. Now I just jam the saw with all my weight into whatever I'm cutting and lock it onto the backing plate that the blade slides through and I very rarely have kick back like you did here. Also I'm binge watching all your videos because they are great and you are really smart to figure out all that you do on the fly, like the steering acronym and suspension geometry. Dope sht my guy

[@isaiahmebane1466]

I know this is sometime ago but, and you’ve probably come along way seeing that you’re already absolutely killing it butttt never ever try to “cool” down a fresh well with compressed air it’ll lead to cracking and a weak bead overall

[@pookysdad4884]

Young fella, why dont ya get one of those handy plasma tables, like cars n cameras got? Make a hunnerd exact duplicates of anything flat, zip zip zip, ez pz.

[@Buck1954]

Yours looks to have better ground clearance than the C&C 750 Crosskart. Guess we'll see when you finish loading it up.

[@calholli]

I'd definitely put a cross bar on those A arm mounts, where it's sticking out there all by itself, on that top A arm.. Even if you have to bend the bar up and over the brake disc... You should tie them together, because it's pretty easy to see, that thing is going to bend with a heavy jump.

[@WillWag-YT]

Yoo this is sick! Looks very similar to what I am building on my channel!

[@scrappy7571]

Kid, you sure do have some talent. Have you considered working in a real fabrication shop? I bet a guy like Kevin, over at KSR would hire you on in a second. That would be a really cool collaboration.

[@Thewatson77]

Man she’s coming along beautifully!!

[@longsleevethong1457]

Love these builds but people always want to use those hi revving engines which will never use any gear above 4th with no low end power. Try a low revving shaft drive engine from an older bmw bike or a goldwing engine that has reverse. Would eliminate all that jack shaft chain bullshit.

[@bdubz5150]

Going to need a brace or vertical gusset welded under the A arm plate where shocks mount. Also. The fwd attachment of the a arm looks like it may cause issues later? Maybe just need gussets?

[@calholli]

Please teach "rather b welding' how to drive. lol.. he's so terrible at keeping the engine under load and knowing when to shift and how to stay in the power band... it's hard to watch. lol... I like watching him build though

[@briansmith5469]

Been a while since commented but you just are a natural fabricator. Made many race cars in my day. You should start your own business or go to work with a off road or sprint car or stock car fab company. You definitely have talent.

[@bunjit6537]

That pivot change is not really necessary unless you wont to stop the shaft moving in the opposite direction to the suspension arms. ie. your method will mean the shaft stays parallel to your arms now. On the other hand changing the distance between the pivots will change the wheel angle depending on the wheel travel if you are using double-A arms. This may be you intention. Kudos to you for your energy and for sharing it with us.

[@thunderj176]

You may know this already but Speedway motors has a crazy selection of heim joints for your future endeavours

[@liamdtraxxas2011]

Funny looking plate u got there, normally we call that a bowl, cereal and milk on a plate ent gona work very well hahaa 🤣. I disagree I love a bowl/tub of cereal later on in the evening can't beat it solves the munchies 😋

[@kawa1200fighter]

not sure if anybody has mentioned this, but you're engine is tilted pretty far forward. on sport bikes most of the times, the oil pickup is in the back of the oilpan. i think it would be a wise idea to take the oil pan off to see of it will pick up oil or not. keep the good content coming!

[@jtaylor9355]

What state are you in? I got a yerfdog spiderbox i started but with my new job i dont have time to finish. But i'd pay to have it finished

[@inmyopinion6836]

0k little brother , I am anxious to see results . Four wheel drive would impress , I think .

[@frank7309]

Often when welding near shocks the viton seals can weld them selves to the shafts. Might be why they were extending at first. Just check the shafts to see if they have any pitting.

[@DIZZYDAZZLER2011]

Hi Buddy what size tube did you use for the main frame and suspension wishbones? Thanks

[@lp8850]

I'm afraid the upper a arm is going to buck you only have one tube going down to the frame in the front upper a arm

[@michaelthomas788]

Done with that cart looks to me like you can still have a lot to do no room for your pipes or your radiator I don't know you have to change a few things I bet

[@marshy_4599]

I would ad a tube underneath the plate where the shock mounts are on the rear upper a arms, as well as a tube in between the 2 rear upper shock mounts, all to make force transfer more stable, safe, and predictable

[@scoc253]

_would that be enough that thin sheet of metal for suspension loads? even with that dimple to make it stiff will it not bind for strong loads?_

[@CoHawk41]

Did my mans just say a plate, sir your plate looks a lot like a bowl

[@evoemperor3776]

From building chinese buggies to this beauty can't wait to see this thing run👍

[@la_plata3588]

if you're trying to run a jackshaft itll heat up way to fast with that small amount of a distance of chain

[@bobdillon1138]

Man you waste a lot of time and $$$ even if it took you 6 mths to learn to use it CAD is your friend.

[@jacobdavis787]

You need to put a tube to brace between the shock mounts on the rear. And probably the same for the control arm mount
