Secondary Transmission Install on the Mini 4WD Trophy Truck Project - Part 6

[@westbeachum3160]

It’s so refreshing to see a young entrepreneur using old school methods to create fun machines. And in an un-insulated shop to boot. Hats off sir

[@curthook9622]

How long in real time did it take to cut those splines start to finish?

[@niejelcruz4517]

what i admire you most is how you manufacture everything on your builds, your a great machinist👍♥️

[@spdy3926]

Awesome to see the focus on the machining. I'm a machinist and have always enjoyed the tolerances you work with. Measuring tools is key, and I see you using them often. < through your entire build. You've come so far. Your content is excellent, and the production quality continues to grow. LOVE your channel !!

[@joakoc.6235]

Watching you cutting splines is too satisfying.

[@thesprinklerguy2598]

your machining skills for this day and age is epic.

[@brianmcpeek651]

Yes I 100% agree it doesn't look like a hot tub anymore. It's looking awesome!! On those heavy bend you can cut the metal thickness wide slot in the center of the bend (3" slot center of 6"wide bend) and weld it back after bending. Hope that made sense.

[@hannable3871]

Kinda gives me a formal 1 off-road vibe I'm digging it can wait to see its progression.

[@DreadEnder]

13:00 yeah I was picturing like one of those rear wheel drive buggies but just those two tubes made it much closer to a trophy truck!

[@mxmv.g]

My dude has unbelievable patience! And, needless to say, skills... Hats off!

[@nickjarman2783]

You are the chain MASTER !! and your perseverance is amazing !!!!

[@MrStevo440]

Totally impressed with your machining skills.. Can hardly wait to see the rest of this build come together..

[@nomad8426]

I really look forward every week to watching your fabrication and machine skills. Awesome

[@michaelmaher3654]

Already looking a lot meaner and cleaner than the CBR build. The skills developed from then till now are obvious. Well done in my humble opinion so far. Looking forward to seeing this one through with you.

[@RichardLangis]

Okay that machining part was amazing. Your fabrications skills are top-notch!

[@MoshiAngelic]

dude watching you machine that part was MESMERISING. your bloody incredible!

That adjustable transmission mount plate is the coolest thing I've seen the ark-Droids cut

[@flydaddy55]

First let me say that I love your projects... I was a little surprised to see you spinning another transmission backwards, but you seem to have a plan..

[@isaneterrier6678]

Hy, it is impressive the specific tools that you have. Very GREAT. I am jupping to the next video !!! Kris

[@matthewjackson9765]

Even with Busa power, those tires and wheesl look so huge, it seems under powered! Looking forward to next installment.

[@BraxxJuventa]

Great progress Chris. Thank you for filming. 👍😁

[@Ratkill9000]

I think sections of the rollcage or roll bar should be bolted and removable to pull the engine out, rather than trying to fanagle it between the bars.

[@gamerduck3707]

Looks brilliant, can't wait to see how this project will turn out, keep it up

[@Mad.Man.Marine]

Nice work man!! I really hope you build some sort of body for it that resembles a mini trophy truck! Even if it’s just the skeletal frame work that makes up the roll cage. Build it to look like a trophy truck. It will really make this build stand out from your other awesome builds!!

[@bigcaputo09]

I'm my opinion there is no other go cart/ small vehicle builder on KZbin better than you!! Grind hard plumbing is right with you though!!

A great man once said "Any suspension will work if you dont let it" That might only apply to track cars though lmao

[@larrydavidson3402]

Coming very nicely Chris.

[@BDFGarage]

Firstly, love the videos and creative work you do. You may want to consider putting a supporting bearing on the end of the gearbox input shaft; gearboxes are designed to have the shaft supported by the end of the crankshaft of the engine its connected to, and all held rigidly by a bellhousing. Keep up the great work!!!

[@Hoggdoc1946]

You have developed MAD tig skills Chris.

[@tomscara]

Love the new instrumental at 14:50

[@samuelmcbride]

Front end really looks nice.

[@DreadEnder]

12:00 looks pretty damn good!

[@xpndblhero5170]

I can't wait to see what this thing is capable of, it looks like it's going to be a beast and I really want to test drive it..... That would be cool if you make a little spot for a plastic bin or a metal box so you had waterproof storage. 😁 Edit: 23:00 - I feel like this should be blurry.... Especially after he lubes it. 🤣🤣

[@jbrunsonjr]

Amazing build, awesome editing, good music choice. Man…you’re killing it. 👊

[@kinglouiesshed8995]

Taking spindexing to a whole new level with the drill 😛

[@edgarv9502]

First of all I love your content. I have noticed the position of the upper rear bars of the engine compartment. I wonder the following: is there no risk of breaking in the direction of the back of the seats? In the event of an accident, the back can be deformed or even break with the two bars facing your back. I know you're driving cautiously but perhaps you can adjust the angle to face outwards as the back will bear quite a bit of weight. Although it is true that if you complete the bodywork with an upper protection cage, there will be a distribution of forces. a greeting from Spain! you are a true metal craftsman!

[@germanrcbashing245]

It’s really awesome to see how it is going and I really like this project👍 but I wouldn’t make the rear end quite as boxy for my liking… Keep up your great work!

[@EndreTomos]

I like the shmockups!

[@haraldolsen8313]

This is so cool, you are a good fabricator and the trophy truck looking good 👍

[@michaelakers8698]

The machining of the splines was really cool. but you might need to make a support bracket with a pilot bearing for the end of the input shaft on the transmission. without that support you will have a lot of stress on the input bearing and a build up of heat causing the bearing to fail prematurely. good work you have really cool designs. Me and my three sons watch your videos.

[@billbottsurfing]

You have skills, man!

[@andersson.l.e]

Nice progress. It looks a bit like a Bucket-T. I think its cool.

[@majorrev8690]

Awesome machining bro! On that spline hub connection, that small amount of play might be reduced simply by clocking them one tooth. You have 10 possible mating arrangements, maybe one of em is less sloppy than the rest. That's the beauty of hand made things.

[@BrokeWrench]

The jig he used to cut the splines is actually really accurate, so its unlikely the spacing is noticeably different between them

[@majorrev8690]

@@BrokeWrench My bad. I thought the spacing was done manually, rotating the chuck 36° 9 times. That's how it appears.

Everything looking good. Like the way the rear and front looks.

[@faulknerfixesall]

excellent machining -top notch

[@craig2963]

So have you check the rotation of the T90 to be sure you are spinning the input shaft the correct rotation? I seem to remember that was causing the transmission to pop out of gear in the last build. I know the helix of the gears are designed to be spun a certain direction, causing the gears to "pull together". If spun the wrong direction the gears will "push apart" and make it pop out of gear.

[@yusufabdrahman592]

So good ii boss 💪💪👍👍😊😊 part 7 ok🙏🙏👍✌️

[@trevormiller1366]

Yep looking good 👍

[@davidbeer]

Coming along nice Chris....

[@iainet]

It’s going to be sooooooo underpowered

[@DreadEnder]

I do think the rear section of frame is a little boxy as they usually have it in a segmented C compartment shape but I think it will look better with more tubing and accessories

[@186scott]

I was thinking the same and thought have it how he had it but have it curve towards the outside

[@dakotajames5274]

Cant wait to see this thing finished it looks badass bro! Have you ever thought about putting something like a honda k series in one of these? You can usually pick them up pretty cheap and theres a huge market for aftermarket parts for them!

[@Guust_Flater]

Looks great!! 👍😃

[@hunnybunnysheavymetalmusic6542]

If I were placing those rear uprights purely based on aesthetics, I would have swept them back 45 degrees and given the back a 'fastback' appearance. It would also give more internal capacity. Then I would apply some z-bracing to make sure it was adding to the strength, especially since the forward bar is going to be holding the coilovers.

[@evanselaban7058]

I had some of the same thoughts at least looking at what that would look like

[@Noa_Borg]

looks really good

[@blainethompson6583]

next time you are bending something your press doesnt want to bend, cut a few relief cuts. will bend super easy and accurately then you just weld up the cuts after you bend to the angle you want. i do it all the time to bend 3/8 - 1/2 in my press break thats only rated for 3/16. awesome videos bud

[@doctord3597]

Might be a good idea make the bottom rear tubes angle upwards so you don’t beat up the frame on departure. With it sticking out a few feet past your rear wheels you’ll probably drag it a lot.

[@kevind5508]

For the rear if you kicked the lower bars up at a 20 degree angle after the motor it might look good and help with departure angle

[@gages.garage1578]

What kind of tubing do you use? This build is amazing man!

[@phuketmusicscene9008]

90 degrees on the rear uprights makes it look a bit “ box’y “ plus the side rails across the passenger compartment could have had a downward kink which would have made entry / exit a bit easier if your not going with doors .. however it’s a cool build 👍 keep doing your thing

[@mooshaker]

It looks better the further it goes

[@83cjwest]

Rollin the dice on the shocks.... let's see how this plays out.

[@deborahconstanzo8345]

It is always fun and to what you work through your problems. I have a Ideal for your shifter that you might be interested in. If you take two shifters . and tie them together with a two cables . you could eliminate all the linkage . one shifter would be the master shifter the other on the transmission would be the slave. Since the shifters slide two cyclender back and forth tie the two together with two cables just might be a simple solution to the complicated linkage. any way I know whatever you decide will work. My dad alway said thers more than one way to skin a cat,
