I'd be temped to weld those CVs stait to the center section. almost no machining required. but you would have to cut it apart to service anything. bearings. sprocket. But a lot of projects like these never get enough miles on them to wear out anything. You got the tools for the job though.

Looks nice. I can tell you from experience though, the weak link will by far be the keyway, (the key itself). My friend and I built almost exactly what you built there, but used CV's from a BMW. Our minibuggy used a VFR 700 interceptor engine. We used 1/4" key and that lasted about 5 minutes. We went to 3/8" key, and that lasted a little bit longer, but still failed. Then we got tired of messing with it, and welded the sprockets to the shaft. Problem solved.

I watch a lot of these go kart building channels, most of the major ones at least and Im really enjoying the concept how you are doing videos and sharing not just the building process but most importantly the PLANNING. I agree with some of the comments on the section that those flanges may come off if held only by grub screws but a simple through bolt could amend that issue. There seems to be 2 grub screw holes in each flange so if you were to drill one side opposite to one of the grub screw holes, it wouldnt be so hard on your drill bit and trying to tap new holes.

Why the Suburban parts? Why not use the CV shafts and hubs from a FWD car like a Honda Civic or something?Yes they are diff lengths...but you could use 2 of from the same side... Should be lighter and plenty strong enough... Plus how do you think those outer flanges are going to hold up being secured to the shaft with a couple grub screws...especially with all that weight of the CV shaft flying around? Or do you plan to drill and tap the center shaft and use a bolt and washer to keep the flanges on?

I chose the suburban parts based on price, length, and the fact that they had flanges on the inboard side. Most FWD axles have splined shafts on the inboard side. I had not thought about the risk of the flange slipping off of the slotted shaft... Do you really think that is a concern??

Thinking of a small buggy build in the future. This helped..! Only question I have is the key way seems to be the weak link... How much punishment could this set up really take???
@motomule5 жыл бұрын
I'm betting you are correct... The shaft is 1-3/8in diameter and the key stock is 5/16 square. I don't know the engineering specs, I'm sure dumping the clutch would be the biggest abuse to it...
@houseoffire725 жыл бұрын
@@motomule Yes dumping the clutch would be the most stressful I'm sure but around here in the last few yrs they have allowed all the side by sides on the trails and many times we start racing each other ( imagine that lol) which leads to dirt & asphalt. My plan is to build a small " Honda Odessy" type buggy with at least an 800cc crotch rocket motor.

Would something like this be strong enough for a exo type car (similar to a DF Goblin) with a 1000cc bike engine? My concern is the keyway shearing but probably not. Enough torque. Are the flanges welded to the shaft when it’s done?
@motomule Жыл бұрын
Probably not strong enough for that engine if you had good traction.. Perhaps if you welded the flanges to the axle like you mentioned.

Did you end up having to use 6 bolt chevy wheels? I'm doing this exact setup for a buggy I'm building, but don't want the massive tires and rims...

How do you accomplish the differential action for turning corners?
@motomule4 жыл бұрын
You don't. Few offroad buggies have a differential. Only need a diff in high traction situations, like pavement or such.

Okay so what size wheel do you use on a set up like this since its a 6 lug hub? Smallest size wheel I could find would be 15 inch!

What is the weight difference between a suburban axle vs the 930 style?
@motomule5 жыл бұрын
I didn't weigh them, but a fair bit heavier... But, the suburban setup is WAY cheaper..

So you want cheap but you kill 2 sprockets instead of popping a couple shaft adapters on a chevy at a junk yard for 20buck? And all you would need to do is drill it and add a keyway...
@motomule5 жыл бұрын
I already owned the sprockets, been sitting in a tub for 4 years... Didn't have to spend even $20... I also don't have the tools to broach an internal keyway.... Yet... Which way was cheapest for me???
@american71695 жыл бұрын
@@motomule depends on how bad that hardened steel tore up tooling I suppose, and you got the tools to make a broach Im betting, 7 hours runtime on machine for wear and tear and angry pixie cost might be more than 20 buck. Cant wait to see the golf cart done, that b*tch gunna be sweeet!

How is that going to work? Wouldn't it need to be set up as a differential in order to make turning possible?
@motomule5 жыл бұрын
A differential would make it easier to turn for sure. But this will work just like any quad or go kart that uses a spool drive. One tire will have to slip in order to turn. Easy on loose terrain, harder in high traction situations.
