Rebuilding our ABANDONED 500hp X3! BEASTMODE V2.0 Part 1!

[@ericstyer2890]

Leo’s making Beastly payments on Beast Mode legit AF. I feel that pain. We appreciate what you do dudes, such an expensive sport we get to experience vicariously through your guys’ content. Keeps me inspired. Stay cool.

[@jcbpstr6]

Dudes making almost the same payment i make on my truck on a sxs , im not mad but i hope one day i can afford a downpayment like that on toys build some crazy ass sxs , engine swaps on cars and sxs,

[@sinistervulcan]

It's bizarre that haven't had big jumps. Even in the last 2 years it's just been a slow climb.

[@bearleemadeit4718]

As much as I agree, I believe the true Followers are very evident in the support the gang receives through the parts and merch store. Number of KZbin subscribers doesnt accurately dictate how successful a channel is IMHO.

[@pauliewalnuts240]

Sxs arnt really relatable for most people. There definitely popular but its still a pretty niche market. I just looked up some numbers and the ATV & UTV (combined) market was valued at $5 billion in the u.s. while the motorcycle market was valued at $275 billion for 2020. Sxs are less common then motorcycles because there actually more expensive if you compare a good bike vs a good sxs. Its unfortunate theyre not already bigger but the guys are growing and theyll continue gaining popularity

[@dandemeester3251]

16 minutes of yapping about what they are gonna do and 10 minutes of content…not a good balance for getting more people interested.

MAN went from 26,000 subs 300,000 so quick. I'm happy for you guys. I love the new atmosphere you guys have. You get to travel and do so much more! I miss sues be around more often though.

[@capthowdy126]

u said cement the block, ive seen that done on car engines but lately i see ppl using epoxy or resin, i wonder if that would be better in this situation cause it seems like the epoxy or resin was alot thinner an was able to fill all the gaps easier an easier to get the air out.

Your road trip to get Beast Mode was your first video I watched and got me hooked on your channel. Shared it with my brother and we've been fans ever since. We saw you guys on your second Glamis trip but lost you in the washes. Looking forward to seeing your first X3 back in business!

[@WickedMoto]

colors in a titanium weld is oxidation and not a strong weld. now you can take a torch to the cage itself and get the pretty purple blues greens etc. honestly you want it to be colorless for titanium welds. what alot of welders do in automotive performance fab is tac everything together color everything and then when they weld, it cleans up the colors back to colorless within the width of the cup and looks really sick

[@davidwdowney]

Man you guys are all a bunch of class acts been watching since the start of the channel and you haven’t changed a bit. Cheers guys

[@scatpackstyles5635]

Kind of sad did all this work getting 2jp dialed in. Finally get the yxz back but haven't done anything with them. Lets get some competition to race these fast machines. by the time you get the next one back together to do something. Another build comes. We appreciate all you do but i personally would love to see these fast machines compete and perform like yall have built them for.

[@duck9191]

Like they said, the dumb shit going on at silver lake has killed their summer sand racing.

[@duck9191]

@@scatpackstyles5635 MI dnr decided this year that they are going to enforce a rule from the 60's that bans any racing in a public area. It hasn't been strictly enforced so far, and there is a bill in the works to exclude silver lake but who knows where that will go. If you race you risk the chance of a ticket/impound.

Dudes the titanium upper cage is some next level stuff and not cheap but probably saved what 60 to 100 lbs not to mention the strength. I love this channel I've never even owned a sxs but you dudes are just cool asf and very entertaining. Later taters

[@anthonyestevez118]

Cool stuff! Thanks for sharing!

[@theglitch99]

VERY, VERY EXCITING!! MADE MY TUESDAY!!

[@viprgaming641]

I was wondering when you guys were going to mention the drag strip at Silver Lake. I still can't believe that. I'm not much of a drag racer because I know I don't have anything to compete but I liked watching them now and then. Hard to believe it's been 9 months since Beast Mode lived. Yeah it's time. And like others have said I can't understand why you guys don't have more subs. Need to fix that!

[@carbide1968]

Can you heli-coil the block for whatever size you choose? Turns you aluminum threads into stainless threads.

[@garrettraymond799]

You guys need to throw in a 73.5 mm Brian Crower Billet crank, the stoker crank is stronger and it helps eliminate turbo lag!!! then go with a 10-1 compression big bore piston, some Darton sleeves and a set of BC 276 cams *****( up to 30 more HP with just the cams)***** that car would absolutely scream. Guys are getting between 500-600+ HP with the stoker kit. (Not trying to convene you just a friendly recommendation) but whatever you do with the car I'm exited to see how it turns out

[@marswell2408]

Make sure when cementing the block you use some sort of vibration maybe a small hammer to tap the block lightly. This will chase out air pockets

[@vinniep1511]

Beast Mode "Frankenstein edition", I get it, utilize what you got!

[@iggy1297]

Between the Can-Doo X2 and now this getting a lightweight cage... I'm really curious to see what a built SxS, like Beast Mode, can do with extreme weight reduction. Or just drop 500 hp into CF1. Probably get the same result.

[@tysonkeller9516]

Can you weigh the old cage and the new one to see the difference

Hey guys! How come you aren't Heli Coiling that block for the head studs? Mega stronger than just upsizing studs. Just a thought. Take care, Rick.

Okay I'm out of the loop! What is the Silverlake drag strip problem? I haven't been there this year and I don't know if I missed something in one of the videos?

[@NVMDSTEvil]

So how about alternate methods of adding head to block compression? Have seen guys put plates on top and bottom of an engine then suck them together with bolts before.. lol. Could even fire-ring the block or head.

[@RascalMcGovens]

What about adding some inserts and converting it to a closed deck block?
