Racing Dirt Bike Engine In A Home Made Mini Street Quad Build - Part 2

[@FloridaMan0561]

After watching your more in-depth and complicated builds,seeing you do builds like this look effortless.

[@ratherBweldingChris]

the videos a bit late today, I've been out riding dirt bikes all day

[@vmacrina0683]

Better late than never bro!!! I appreciate all your hard work and devotion to your craft and your videos!! Keep up the amazing content and builds!!!

[@dustin2580]

Hope you had a great day! Thanks for all your content

[@kylereese4822]

Needs a mini version of Citroen 2CV suspension the shocks are horizontal(under the doors) and gives crazy body roll and near impossible to rollover too... :):)

[@stevo43068]

I've been waiting all day! 😁 Worth the wait.

[@theone2be33]

Well I was gonna say, your timing on videos means everything if you wanna continue to grow and reach a million subs! You're WAY better of a channel than those other 2 guys are. Not mentioning no names but you know who they are. You continue to amaze me with your fabricating skills! Keep up the good work my friend! 👍😎

[@CaribouKH]

It's amazing how this kind of a "simpler" project highlights not just this guys fabrication skills, but also highlights how ambitious the bigger builds are. I would think that this "simple" project would take me a full year to complete 😆 Also this is just an insanely great build!!!

[@RK-kn1ud]

It would only take you a year to complete the FIRST time. That is why he can seemingly slap things together with little effort...making him appear as an expert fabricator. The truth is that he's made more mistakes than you have made attempts. Learning from the mistakes is what has got him to his current skill level. Get out to your shed and go make some mistakes! Practice makes perfect!

[@Loseejim]

Ackeman angle, caster and camber angle..took me several years of fabing before I had hear of it.. nice build

[@edwardzx7]

Definitely one of the coolest builds in a long time! Seeing how you build stuff from raw metal, and you don’t need a 75,000 garage to get it done! Keep doing what your doing!!!

[@clutch5sp989]

Maybe he didn't sell his soul to the big named sponsors like the rest of em did to get that free $75k shop.

[@AL4N.]

​@@clutch5sp989 I guess even grind hard getting a new shop.

[@blobcsgo7190]

I got a universal steering dampner, was cheapish like 20 bucks, and fitted it to my mini quad that also has motor swap and no suspension. mine is a predator motor lol... but it still is VERY sketchy without front* suspension and the short wheel base and distance we have. so be VERY cautious when u bring it to the street, I would wear full leathers, even if you are going like 30mph cause its easy to swerve, and get thrown off ballance cause the center of gravity is so high

[@friendlyoldbum9182]

Having the correct caster angle and toe with a rather wide steering lever (wide handle bars) it should be pretty "stable" handling wise, the lever arm lengths on the steer tube and knuckles come into play aswell. Edit... But yes, definitely leather up testing homemade toys.

[@blobcsgo7190]

@@friendlyoldbum9182 Yeah mine was an engine swap I dint make the front end.. But i dint think of that (the bars I thought of)

[@friendlyoldbum9182]

@@blobcsgo7190 I imagine most smaller, kids sized buggies, karts and quads will have minimal caster so they are easier for little people to steer around at low speeds.

[@michaelosmon]

9:02 I agree, wear leathers and a helmet until you’re comfortable with that awesome machine.

[@Lord_Verminaard]

That caliper bracket on the bearing block was brilliant! Simple and effective! This thing will be a handful for sure.... might even need front brakes too!

[@skipjames8437]

That might be cool.

[@dbdors]

I am always amazed at your creativity and fabrication skills. I would have no idea where to start with such a project.

Some videos I cant tell if your a master fabricator or a brick mason, Love the channel!👍

[@dawson5567]

This build is coming along so fast and it looks sweet!

[@Iann128]

Chris that is going to be crazy fast! Reminds me of the first Bar Stool racer I built around 15 years ago out of square tube like that. It only had a 5hp Briggs on it and it was fast enough to scare you.

[@DetroitMicroSound]

15:21 Short machine bolts through from the bottom, with nylock nuts on top, to stop them vibrating out. Instant cleats.

[@davidvincent2838]

Your fabrication skills never cease to amaze me. This build is going to be an absolute weapon. Cranky neighbour's gonna hate it! Which is awesome in itself! 😂😂

[@adamsankey8702]

Definitely do a suicide shifter with a foot clutch or a clutch on the shifter that would look so good I dead set want one of these 🤙🏼

[@la_plata3588]

If it wasn't sketchy already haha

[@michaelosmon]

I have that same hood, been dreaming of doing this since I learned how to ride on an xr80 when I was 5. So cool. I appreciate you. Thank you for sharing your skills knowledge and experience

[@russtuff]

I'm excited to see this thing rolling

[@craig2963]

OK...2 things...6:24 when you drill through the tubing to mount something in this way, you should weld some thin wall tubing into the holes to stop the bolts from constantly trying to crush the tube and vibrating loose all of the time. And second...this thing is prime for a suicide shifter setup!

[@55stanmc]

Agreed on both points

[@somethingelse2740]

Looks great! It will surely be a lot of fun once you are finished. Thanks for sharing.

[@CamberKitesurfing]

Very cool build, I think it would look super cool with a steering wheel but then positioning the throttle and clutch may be harder. Can't wait to see the finished product!

[@rm25088]

I used to watch you years ago. Probably 2016-17, probably earlier than that and it is good to see you still doing ridiculous things.

[@andycliffordkarting]

And people think we're mental for racing karts with 450cc dirt bike motors - this is next level 🔥🔥 The proximity of chain to groin is daunting to say the least. New subscriber found! 😎

[@thercbarn5001]

Awesome! I vote hand shifter also!

[@bradyoung6663]

That's going to be one Hell of a handful. Can I suggest some rear fenders to save you from the melted rubber hitting you when the burnouts happen?

[@hedbngr18]

Agreed. Fenders are a must. I'm aware that this project is nowhere near finished so you may have this in mind, but you'll definitely want a chain guard for your leg as well as the engine case saver. A snapped chain at speed can have a ton of collateral damage to both body and machine.

[@bvisel4558]

You have come full circle. I started watching your videos when you are making that little four wheeler. Trump went around in the mud in that parking lot was cool. Glad to see you're still having fun.

[@marioc9836]

If the foot pads are too slippery just throw in some hex head short screws. Keep doing what you do. You and a few other entertaining youtubers have replaced teLIEvision programming and Pedowood movies as my source of screen recreation. You inspire. 😊

[@kevincampbell3173]

congrats Chris, you have designed the ultimate death machine!

[@jlucasound]

You are so good. I know. 59 and did my own stuff in the 80's but not at this level.

[@xpndblhero5170]

15:18 - If it is slippery then all you have to do is put a bunch of tack welds on top for traction or put some short screws up through the bottom and tack them in place.... I think it's really cool and I'd love to build stuff like this. 😁

[@kzarnold3678]

I was thinking skateboard grip tape

[@Joemama-ic5zm]

U are nuts Sir ! And i love it, keep up the good work

[@daner.d]

after you weld everything you should throw a quick coat of primer on to stop rust. plus you have the thing disassembled anyways. so when you go to finish the project someday you won't have to deal with tons of sanding rust. could be a time saver

[@craig2963]

Yea, just use a weld through primer, so it will not be in the way of any last minute changes/modifications. I know Steel-it can be used like that.

[@jameswarren423]

[@RK-kn1ud]

Don't wish...just make it happen.

[@FloridaMan0561]

Get them skills up. You can be building your own stuff in a year or two once you learn to weld and fabricate. Can you imagine how much money you can save by building your own toys,rather than buying them?

After years of watching you build cool shit, the part that impresses me the most is your ability to wear wired headphones at the same time.

[@acurarl9929]

Super cool little toy man

[@delandbrooks3291]

Need to get some expanded metal in place of that mesh. It will give your feet some grip and let more trail fall back thru. And move the rear tires out so it's not so tippy. Just one adjustable wheelie bar. All it needs is to slide inside and have a pin to lock the length.

[@InHisName999]

I would use a tapered round punch and hit the holes on the reverse side of the foot plates. To give some grip.

[@hunnybunnysheavymetalmusic6542]

Suggestion for your foot pads: when you go to paint it, just add some sand on top of the mesh and let the paint 'glue' it to the mesh. A strong epoxy would be even better of course... I have seen people bond heavy wet-dry sandpaper to steps, but since yours is a mesh and not a solid plate, that might not work out the way you would want it to.

[@craig2963]

Also the holes in the mesh would allow grip spikes (like the ones that are used on the nicer mx foot pegs) to be mounted as well.

[@hunnybunnysheavymetalmusic6542]

@@craig2963 I could see grip spikes, but they would be a whole lot of work to install by hand.

[@craig2963]

@@hunnybunnysheavymetalmusic6542 For sure. I am in the group of do all of the options. Sanded paint with spikes. I know we used to have sanded epoxy paint on the loading dock where I used to work.

[@jeroen1914]

6:27 Probably better to weld some bushes into the frame where the bolts go through, these bolts will always come loose and everytime they do they flatten and damage the square tube frame a bit more. Nyloc nuts will work to prevent the nut to fall off but you still end up with the parts being loose as the tubing will get oval shaped over time. Drill out the holes and weld some bushes on both ends into the frame, that way you can tighten the bolts and they will stay tight.
