Hi Zack, You know 1000% more how to customize things than most people do. You don't have to apologize to anyone for the decisions you make. You're a fine young man and will go far in life. God bless you! 👍😃👍

[@ferbbb]

Haha, lot of magic going on in this video.. Well done, mate!

[@Christ-1]

I gotta do this. Thanks for sharing your ingenuity!

[@kaydesign]

Had this idea to years ago. Never got to it. Super nice to watch your inspirational channel!

[@DriveTravelLive]

I love your style and honest good hearted character! It is a weird project, but coming from you anything is good and interesting to watch 😊

[@nizzurtmontalgizzert3337]

Building in crocs, the stuff of legend.

[@christopherking2999]

Great application, just what I need. Thank you.

[@twowayyo11]

Built this cart with the 1K watt motor. Took it for a test spin today. Cart hit 26mph with me on it. Probably illegal in some states. I love it I got a voltage regulator to take the cell phone charger from 48V to 12V. Picked it up on Amazon for $18. The charger linked is 24V max and if you use it on a 48V system you will fry it. I added a digital safe and put the ignition in the safe. I placed the safe in the rear of the cart. Fit perfectly. I'll post up video soon and place it in the comments. Thanks to OP for the build!

[@elvismekowulu4634]

Hi, have you got a video for your motrised cart?

[@joev1779]

[@jaminoes_]

(Spongebob cutout: "2 years later...") Surely this OP will dleiver his video.

[@toddwilliams1689]

I built one of these at the end of 2019 for hauling stuff when we go to our son's baseball games. I used a small safe for the battery box and have let and usb voltmeter attached into it. I can throw keys, wallet and etc in it when at game or beach. Glad to see you posted the video. I couldn't find anything like this when I was looking and wasn't about to pay the price for a built one.

[@bradabbate3342]

This is great! I really enjoy your videos and you giving links to the parts is very helpful and greatly appreciated! Keep doing what you do!

[@ogsharerfan3144]

Do you have a link for the 48v charger there is no more in the link he put

[@MrJerobona]

Love it! congratulations!

[@noseasmamut]

Wow! Looks great, thanks for the idea.

[@joyridaz]

Dude that is an amazing project!

[@Bicketybam68]

Cheers mate, nice editing.

[@darrenlee3697]

Brilliant. Enjoy to watch.

[@tris4448]

All of the video editing magic you do is fantastic

[@pdaguytom]

Snazzy transitions! Neat project. Great job.

[@robertkelley926]

I'm in awe of this young mechanic.

[@jamesd493]

Love it! What a great imagination!

[@paulpintilie3353]

This is not weird, super practical. Thanks for idea.

[@stxferalboys]

Awesome video! awesome idea! Great job.

[@jonnielarson]

This is awesome! Great work.

[@mopar_dude9227]

You definitely have skills! This would be great for going to swap meets, after pulling a bunch of car parts around on a hot summer day, I am dead. I really like the hook to attach another cart to. The only thing that would be nice is a freewheel type of system. There are times when you have little to nothing in it and really don’t need to waste battery life. Can’t wait to see what you do next.

[@Kanamit.]

Not weird at all. Very creative and practical. The applications are endless.

[@instrumentsponge]

Awesome job! I was actually trying to get ideas to build my parents and electric wagon for bringing firewood into the house from the wood shed. This would be perfect as they already have a gorilla cart like yours. Thanks for making this video!

[@racrx7]

Kool! I built one years ago using an anglers Fish n mate cart and drive axle from a mobility scooter. Works great

[@edpollard989]

Another interesting and well executed project, keep the variety coming it is innovative and entertaining!! BTW..Thanks for all the links.

[@Pablo453]

Thumbs up for the editing. Nice FX. Well aligned cuts.

[@Shortstaq]

Very cool. Gave me a bunch of ideas.

[@dukesworld3020]

Cool fishing cart!! 👍

[@drakeorion94]

Nice jump cuts! 👍

[@oncewaslost1982]

That is so awesome!

[@phasetek]

It really is a GREAT video you made, and it totally inspired me to not only build one, but to understand the weaknesses and improve the design (i.e. try making a turn with yours on pavement with that solid rear axle, lol). I'm currently on Rev3 and still trying to do better. It's such a great concept and excessively useful device for me, which is why im going through great lengths to truly optimize it! Thank you again!

[@mr.notimportant]

Solid would love to see your progress or what motor can I use like the second one he used

[@bamamike1013]

Great video! This is something I need so bad. Tired of lugging these heavy carts at the beach. Thanks for the ideas.

[@joev1779]

Great project! Any update on how it works with dry sand?

[@walkstheman98]

I had an idea like this as a kid, its cool to see it made finally

[@diecast_MikeEspo]

Very cool , awesome work .

[@ryanhill4918]

That’s pretty dope man

[@ozzielinkin]

Great job

[@gregsettle9725]

Nice build!

[@agate_bandit]

That's awesome!!! I want 1 for yard work lol

[@Rico-Suave_]

Great build

[@ZachMontizor]

WOW what an amazing job! Great quality work too, you should sell these things! Thanks for the great video, got some ideas now.

[@madinventor69]

Your a Rock Star Bro!! Great Job.. 😉👍🏼

[@kevinthemayor]

Thanks I just bought a groundwork cart with 16 inch tires from tractor supply to aid me in collecting driftwood but the more rocky the beach is the harder it is to steer and pull

[@IRONMANMETALBILLDANKANIS]

Nice work young man

[@kennethwehrs8924]

Jump cuts/transitions were really cool and unique. You get better at this with every new episode. Keep it up!

[@eddluireg]

AWESOME VIDEO ! Ty

[@bradley3549]

Cool project. Though I was so distracted by the crocs that I missed all the details. Something like this with a linear dump actuator would be super handy around the yard!

[@dgriffin6074]

Very useful. Thank you. Please give followup as to whether brakes are really necessary, at least on the beach.

[@kickassboyiscraaazy]

this one was so fun to watch :D

[@andrewchurchley5705]

Nice job.

[@Hackbridge1963]

We have the red one you were pulling, but I often think how great it would be if it could be electrified. Great build.

[@dcallan812]

sweet idea.

[@plumbherhub1664]

I plan on making one for foot hiking to carry all gear and water for my long hikes. I think good tires will help getting through the bush.

[@rashedtjm]

Good man 🦸‍♂️

[@shaunrobens5666]

That’s awesome. You should see if you could figure out a way to connect one of those potable solar panels to it to charge while you’re at he beach. Thi way you wouldn’t have to worry about the battery dying on you an you can keep the charge topped off.

[@agentrobtaylor]

very cool build! I noticed your shirt !! I grew up in LW and WH. We had a summer place on Lake Kissimmee and then on Lake Hatchineha. Worked at Cypress Gardens while in high school. Hopefully LW is still a cool little town...Cheers

[@CJ-gh5wq]

This is genius!! Looking for a more detailed version so I can do this.

[@backtoblack2393]

Good job ...

[@MrKonradWhite]

genius idea

[@mylesken284]

Need that on fireisland great 👍 stuff

[@JasonSewell]

Great build! I would consider using a motor with a built-in planetary gear reduction, since what I'd want is slow speed / high torque for getting over the dunes at walking pace on the way to the beach. I have a larger Gorilla Cart that we use at the beach, but getting it over the dunes fully loaded is a nightmare. Also, given the salt / sand conditions at the beach, I wonder if it makes sense to build an enclosure around the motor and drive train?

[@JayGee6996]

Good idea, also means it won’t need a brake as the gearbox will bring it to a stop when it’s not under power

[@GenuineNPC]

I'm doing this myself, going for a 350 watt 36 volt gear reduction motor, should be enough to get it started on sand I'd hope

[@mr.notimportant]

How about a bridge and a motor enough like his second one

[@drob5780]

I liked your pull-cart train. I guess that makes you an official engineer!

[@JOHN316CATMANDO]

Dang Awesome build !!! AAA +++ Where was this all the years I packed my family on and off the pier. That's it I gotta build one now.

[@111quazar]

Cool, love your projects..... You have a real nack for things mechanical. (and paint) I have a winter place in Haines City, I see you wore a Lk. Wales t-shirt...... We are practically neighbors.........

[@ultimaterebuilds7127]

Pretty much 😂

[@eddieherrera9504]

Bro idk how your video popped up but I'm glad it did, I've been trying to find a way to do all of this and the exact parts to use like this but to my tool cart, a Rubbermaid Utility Cart, I had added some 8 in Pneumatic Tires and I wanna make it where I don't have to push it cuz it gets heavy but you might've saved the day so thanks, I'm gonna look into getting all the stuff you did and doing the same setup!

[@johnfarias6962]

Awsome!!!!!!!!!

[@olblu8746]

Cool!

[@Sarnt_Eskie]

Randomly popped up of my algorithmic trendies lmao.... and i loved what youve donw with the cart!!! I suggest using like a trail bike handle bars incase you tend to sit and steer.

[@Kevin-go2dw]

Have a way to disconnect drive in case of power/motor failure. Perhaps a tensioner which when removed can allow the chain to be taken off the axle. Like the idea.

[@tonykomer2997]

You really need that anyways to adjust for chain stretch just like on a bicycle. A double turnbuckle in compression or tension would work great and then uses lots instead of holes to mount the motor. Quite easy to adapt from present config.

[@jeremyhanna3852]

I built something very similar but I used a 36 volt motor and cut the base off a couple of burned up m18 drills and used them to wire the motors so I could use 2 18 volt Milwaukee batteries to power it in a series

[@realJman51]

Thinking about building one but i think I'd have to add solar panels somewhere and make it easier to drive while sitting on it

[@Millennial1031]

In the jetski world we use beach carts to launch them into the water at the races. If you can make a water proof design with big tires that would be amazing.

[@DjSuperKKimoUgale]

Nice ...love it man !!! good deal ! wish I can make one like that ....or even something like that, that hitches on a ebike ... hauling a wagon like that .. now that would be cool .. for the kids to ride on with seats and maybe a canopy .. how about that :)

[@hypnosiscenternyc]

I want one !

[@CodysGarage]

How did it perform in the sand?

[@oui.monsieur]

3 yrs later not a reply to the comment or a updated video with the newer 🔋

[@battlemasterszone1750]

lol those wheels suck you need balloon wheels in soft sand

[@coolissimo69]

Great editing.

[@Kliph4ShariLove]

You never did a new update on this and what I’d LOVE to see is you retrofit with some 20" Wheeleez tires. Thanks for the great build!!! Quick question. Is that a garden cart from Home Depot or Lowes? That’s what I was thinking of using.

[@blakerh]

Very nice editing job! It takes me a long time to edit videos and I don't do any tricks.

[@monkrph]

Sweet

[@kiyomiswan4871]

absolutely practical...is there a way to use variable speed control? well done project !

[@BrittanyMartin917]

for a cart that goes through sand i would see if you can use a ribbed belt as if someone kicks up sand on the chain itll shorten the life and could break sooner

[@pdk005]

Great build and thanks for the detailed build list. Any chance you will post that sand follow up on KZbin?

[@StraightLineCycles]

Love that freakin elephant,

[@victorbenner539]

I'm curious about where you got your components from. Also I think a high/low range gearing system should be added so you have better control when climbing a somewhat difficult slope of sand and safer control in tight spaces. But great build. I've been considering motorized my beach cart. But more importantly my large smoker for going to the farmers market and bbq competitions. She weights 1200lb. I'm going to need a BIG motor for her. But rarely ever need to move more then 50'. Have a great day 🌤.

[@rich.trails]

Looks great, though you should put a support arm going from the axle area to the motor mounting area. If you demand enough torque from it, you'll pull the axle forward as it is.

[@jonasbaine3538]

Indeed. I take this video as an open source blueprint that everyone can modify as needed. Him posting this video is good enough to get started.

[@glegalee]

Nice transitions. Awesome upgrade. Great work!

[@Cartier_specialist]

I'm thinking you might have should've went with a belt drive because sand and chains with oil might not be a good match.

[@twowayyo11]

I actually prefer chains even in a salt water environment. Pick up a can of T9 Boesheid and treat the chain and sprockets once a month they will last indefinitely.

[@justintothetruth]

I tried that with my “covid cart”. Just wasn’t able to get to work. Went with timing chain double row of teeth.

[@MRLAW243]

Great video man, but, those wheels won't work in the soft sand, I'd love to see the test video here on KZbin

[@azureeykola]

Pimp my cart, baby!! This was fun! That small motor was meant to break down for you to use the other motor for mo powah baby!

[@maoss40]

I just maked one, thank you

[@cuescues1]

Nice work. The link for the axle shows it without a chain. Any info on that would be nice and the square tube dimensions would be awesome too. Thanks in advance.

[@eliasoviedo63]

Great work 💪🏼 how long does the battery last?

[@paulinemercer538]

Wright man I want to buy one best thing I’ve seen in age’s no kidding in fro Scotland I would buy your plan

[@victorpatino690]

This was an amazing project. I dont need it to go 20mph. But I do need ot to truck through the sandy beaches. 500w 1000w 2000w.🤔

[@KNIGHT455]

I want one of those

[@NicoSuaveee]

The music in the transitions sounds exactly like the background elevator music they play in the terminals at Southwest Florida international airport but with some more hip hop beats added 😂

[@td1188g]

I'm very impressed! Great works! Could you kindly give me a list of parts you've purchased and where you've got from?

[@edpiard8361]

Hey.. Very clever camera tricks.. Definitely gave the video a unique watch.. Great job
