Your bump steer fix was the correct one! You're learning! That's all that matters with these builds besides having fun, when you get older you be able to become an engineer and all of this will be relevant. Great job!!!!

[@montanawestphotography6671]

Ive watched every build on this channel and youve done some cool stuff. But now its kinda getting old. Theres nothing new except chassis design. Nothing wrong with cool chassis design but its the same old motorcycle power plant stuff, most of which has been underpowered requiring special gearing. Also the lack of reverse is unnecessary. Ive been a long time subscriber and am waiting for that next big leap, maybe something seriously off road 4x4 with a v6 transplant from like a toyota or dodge caravan. These motors and trannys can be had for as much as youve paid for the motorcycle engines. A junkyard pulling video would be a cool start to the next build. A smaller version of a rock bouncer with a v6 with 33 inch tires (also from a junkyard) would be stellar and a big boost to your views. Please consider this because I like your style and frame building talent. Thanks.

The KZbin channels that got me to yours. Can’t hold a candle to your brilliance. Move on, without regret or worry! You are a genius!

[@FloridaMan0561]

Chris has a very good skill set and a lot of knowledge and fabrication skill for such a young man. Just imagine how much you will progress with another decade and another 10K worth of tools! Keep up the good work man, I always enjoy your videos and the awesome projects you come up with.

Best builder on YT hands down

[@stevemingus307]

Super cool! I like how you design stuff, cause you follow through and then rebuild it rather than fixing it before it’s built. It’s a good way of seeing what could have been instead of never seen.

[@freshlywins4859]

I dont know sh*t about building these types of things I just watch you man takes the stress away 😌💪🏻🙌

[@cobalt0681]

Outstanding job on the front suspension. It looks great. I use a 6” cutoff wheel to cut diamond plate, you might want to try it. Keep up the good work.

[@Mattmazz77]

Pretty impressive bro, people can criticize but the fact is that shit is crazy hard.

[@simonredman4071]

adjustable tie rods for the front suspension. Easy that way to dial it in once complete!

[@Rehabcycles]

You MOST CERTAINLY should not apologize for taking too long of videos showing your work on your projects. When I get time to sit down and enjoy these at the end of the day, I absolutely LOVE seeing your ingenuity and fabrication skills play out into these machines. I wish I had half of the fabrication skills you do. Speaking of...wanna inbox me the build sheet for that offroad v1000 buggy?;)

[@billetsteed]

When you're cutting alloy with a saw, sprinkle a little chalk or talc as you go to keep the teeth edges clean.

[@billetsteed]

Or filing, it's the same deal.

[@lennym1273]

Or don't stand on it causing the edges to close in on the blade lol...

[@johncarpentieri9235]

Easiest way to cut aluminum is with a worm drive skill saw and a Little wd-40 use carbide blades go slow, use hearing protection. Can cut any thickness even 2” if you need to. will work great with little effort and much faster. Also safer to put some 2by 4’s on floor to keep the sheet on. will work much better. set blade just deep enough to penetrate thin sheet don’t let blade hang to low will have better control that way. For nice straight cuts clamp a piece of angle iron for saw to follow. I learned this from an older machinist buddy. Been doing it this way ever since. Hope this helps

[@quentincalabrese3300]

Thumb up for your creativity and especially for the sawhorse you hardly cutted !!

[@Sam-m04]

That’s absolutely incredible

[@papirivera5356]

Nice work!! same suspension as my hyosung arrow 150. It came with adjustable coilovers. Works great.

[@wolffeast809]

Well, the car, you are a true master of your craft! I will be glad to friendship with the communities.

[@paulbade131]

rather B, you are great! I am 57 and still learning! I made a 4 wheel bugger and wished I had put the steering arms in front of the "kingpins" and flipped over my steering box, freeing up a bunch of space to put my big stinking feet. )).

[@jeffalessi]

I am very impressed, for a young man you are extremely talented, keep up the most awesome work!

[@jn5727]

Based off of my Traxxas Revo 3.3, which has a cantilever suspension, by changing the length of the cantilever itself doesn't stiffen the suspension, it just gives it more/less travel. In order to actually make it stiffer, you would need to increase the spring rate.

[@j03m0n]

I like how you cut metal with a hammer! Dale duro colega! jajaja!!! Don't stop madeing mad drives. Here, in europe this is close to impossible!

[@motomule]

I like the inboard shocks and bell cranks, awesome!! Some shocks lose their dampening when you lay them down because the oil isn't where it should be, hopefully those shocks work layed flat like that.

[@brandonwise4763]

[@jaredbudzinski8434]

Great fix for removing bump steer. That is exactly what we did at our university for our Baja car.

[@W1llcoker]

You are one talented man. Me being 12 and wanting to be a mechanical engineer and build crazy one of a kind things like that, you’ve definitely be a massive inspiration to me.

[@wenthecowscomehome]

[@KiranDigavalli]

Awesome work. I can’t wait to see it move! Suspension design is tricky at the best of times, and this trike is a damn sight more sophisticated than anything I’ve built. Best of luck!

[@superhiro2a]

You could have made several holes to adjust the suspension hardness instead of one arm length.

[@aserta]

Yeah, i'd make another set with several mounts, the shocks can be upgraded as well.

[@jamesmcgee9279]

Don't sweat whatever everybody else is saying! There is no doubt in my mind that you'll figure it out. Again, I wish I had a fraction of your talent. Keep up the great work!

[@TDG2654]

Chris, serious question, do you understand what causes bump steer? Because it seems like, with every vehicle, you just take a guess and hope it works. Things like required steering arm length are not terribly difficult to calculate and measure, if you know how it works. SK2815 has done a handful of videos on suspension geometry, which should be a great help.

[@Akmerica]

Jig saw works better for cutting diamond plate lol looks great so far 👍🏼

[@camyota]

I'd put some longer travel and slightly stiffer shocks on the front or go back to the 1:1 cantilever arms and get stiffer springs. Also, I'd put some sort of supportive guides on the steering rack extensions.

[@stevensobba1785]

[@danandyong6653]

Always keep the reciprocating saw foot TIGHT to work... no more vibration

[@tommyhammel]

Move the rear shock further up the arm and the front needs some anti roll

[@fastw3748]

antiroll will be good

[@DatBoiOrly]

Yup an anti roll will also stiffen it up a fair bit also and he definitely needs stiffer springs regardless

[@chevyfan82]

Shock location is good I would leave it on the softer side as well too stiff will be bouncing the front in the air over bumps. Definitely add more bracing to the pivot arm pins to hold them in place and bearings as they will have a lot of stress on. them.

[@chriss9836]

You should probably put a sway bar in the front. Looks good!

[@devmevada9204]

Amazing suspension design.

[@timetable620]

You also can get harder and softer springs for near $50-100 per spring

"I think it's kinda working" lmaooo

[@petemartus8876]

I feel stupid, but what's bump steer?

[@paulbade131]

@@petemartus8876 If the steering linkage joints don't line up exactly, with the a-arm joints, when cycling through the suspension, the lengths will change, at different rates, pulling or pushing the steering arm. So, when hitting bumps, the wheels will be "steering" in all kinds of crazy ways. When setting it up, you must be able to draw an imaginary line through all three joints on inner and outer arm attachments and steering linkage. All 3 must also be on the same plane also!

[@drew657]

For the rear suspension, take all the preload out of the spring. Look up how to tune motorcycle suspensions (specifically Dave Moss Tuning) for how to do this. If you take all the preload out of the shock and it's still too stiff, you can pick up a softer spring. RaceTech's website has a tool to look up the spring rate on that shock based on the bike it's on, and you can order a spring from them that's stiffer or softer, depending on what you need.There's lots of videos on KZbin about how to change the spring. Alternatively, you could look for a shock from a bike that has a softer spring rate and order a used one on ebay pretty cheap. Could also do that for the front, but with stiffer springs.

[@ethankirk3115]

Looking awesome buddy!! Your a hell of a fabricator and I love how your always being creative and not just taking the what works easy route. And your editing is always on point. Keep it up

[@CameronHarris1986]

What are you doing for anti roll bar/system? I think you should look at a pull rod/push rod F1 style set up. That way when you corner in this instead of swaying over to one side (which I think may happen with this design) the suspension will be connected, so when one side is compressed the other side will compress also, so the vehicle will be flatter found around corners.

[@kevinschminkey36]

I could be wrong but, I noticed your A-Arm mounting brackets are at an angle which would not allow a "free" movement of the A-Arms as each end would swing in different arc patterns? It seems it would be "free" movement of the brackets were parallel and the A-arm end were angled? I like your work.

[@strommefineart]

Dude, you are too cool. Awesome watching this! Thanks!

[@anthonyskrzec6881]

There should be 2 screws on that back shock to adjust shock one should be on the cylinder that the line runs too and the other should be on the shock itself if i remember right i have one on my bike but its not in front of me right now

[@Saga-bg4po]

Ты гений!!! Успехов тебе.

[@Mad-Duk_Machine_Werkes]

Have you thought about those Shocks and where the oil in them is sitting? The shocks when on a motorcycle have the oil in the bottom and when you pump them in and out- the pistons and valving internally squirts the oil thru- creating dampening...... You have them mounted on their side and upside down, so any oil inside is at the top and are they even designed to work like this?

[@RDH559]

The rear spring rate looks good as you were standing very close to the pivot point. I'd say the front looks a little soft though. Yours is a single seater and probably lighter than mine. My two seater was just over 1000 lbs. I used a Mustang II coilovers for the front. Watched bloopers while typing. The bigger shocks looked much better on the travel. I'll be following your build. Will you be putting a body on or keep it "naked"?

[@nutzy05]

Looks like you're going to have mad body roll. Maybe a sway bar will do the trick. Also, with the front suspension as soft as it is, if you were to cut that front loop shorter or raise the bottom of it, you'll run into less bottom out issues.

[@MrGaryjames1]

twin tube oil filled dampers dont tend to work to well unless vertical or nearly so as they rely on the oil being in the base of the shock the foot valve that is in the bottom of the damper works rather better with oil rather than air. you will need to upgrade to gas monotube damper such as the koni ohlins or bilstien rather like the ones they use on the atom. ps love the build always wanted to do roughly the same thing but with 4 wheels.crack on.

While watching the diamond plate scene the first time, I thought to myself, I know what its lime to cut that stuff....then seeing the scene at the end....I thought , have fun

[@GunFunZS]

Skillsaws and plasma are the way to do aluminum. Clamp it to heavy plate so it can't vibrate. Vibration is what gets you. Set the saw to just enough depth to clear, keep the RPMS up and the feed rate slow.

[@Dkote3]

Awesome build! Glad you had good holidays man! Keep the good content coming! 🤙🤙
