RB you’ve got to invest in a plasma cutting table! 👍👍🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🤘🏻🤘🏻Nice fab work!

[@centurialinc]

Awesome work! That thing is going to rip! The rear uprights turned out super nice!

[@lloydbaker7099]

Every time I think your channel is going to pigeonhole itself you just surprised with more and more great content thank you

[@bajahank1]

Dang, son that spindle is freakin gorgeous.

[@ProbeGT2]

Every project you make, you put the bar higher and higher as far as build quality. I love watching those chassis build, true craftmanship!

[@RedBeardsGarage]

I really appreciate it man.

[@brenthirschman9142]

Fab work is on point!

[@grayghost75]

RED that's looking very professional 👌. Thanks for the video

[@jstc89]

Redbeard Holy hell your skill set is undeniable. Love the builds .

[@CODOutdoors]

I have watched your channel for a long time and watched your fab skills grow to an off the chart level, God has truly blessed your channel!

[@twobroskarting2302]

Very cool man good to see you back to building. Love the template process, that is a skill many high end fabricators use to this day. Keep up the good work bud

[@karimhacen7795]

I'm from algeria ...red beard 's you are the best, good contuniation

[@markwilson713]

that fab table is awesome

[@danthemowermedic4444]

Loving it man! I just set up my tig machine and started playing on some steel! Engine plate and a predator build with a TAV on a Yukon Trail Puma mini with full suspension and a custom mounted motorcycle tank and some sweet graphics. Thank you for inspiring me to grow and start a family. I truly do look up to you and binge-watch your stuff! lol

[@morganweast4228]

Dude you have some serious skills. Very Very impressed

[@lomsomesGarage]

Very enjoyable to watch a great fabricator

[@schaggyschell6935]

Really NICE WORK Clark !!!

[@davidowen888]

Top notch fabrication skills 👌 as usual 👍☮️

[@kwatt-engineer796]

Love to watch your fab skill/processes. Any one who has done what you do can appreciate the artistry involved. On a more practical level, I ind that some details of your fab techniques are helpful in other projects.

[@justingriggs3766]

My daughter and I enjoy watching your videos great content keep up the good work Buddy

[@AmericanaWoods]

That table is sooooooo nice.

[@jacobbarrett17]

I wouldn't worry to much about the single key way. I have a buggy running a 44" 1 1/4 chromoly axle with a 07 ninja 650r engine it has held up surprisingly great but it runs 20x10 tires. But its soon to get a miata axle conversion. Awesome build so far keep up the great work an great content

[@thomasewing5283]

Wow this one's going to be sick

[@dgreen9879]

Top notch work! great channel

[@gonracn]

Make sure to post the vid of the metal shelf build!

[@tristanmcnabb2741]

Wow 😳 cool work 🌟🎉 I love the back brackets . the dimple die makes nice work to👌💕🌟🌟🌟 allsome work from cruzermans inventions 😁🎉👍

[@brendansadler2319]

I love your content. ! Keep up the great work 👍

[@gcoatsjr.8643]

Sick fab skills

[@rickeyracer44]

Well Hell Son! You got the juice to Get'r Done! Good job.

[@TacticalTinkerer]

I wish you guys were out west...I've got a secret squirrel project I need to get started on soon, and it'd be right up your alley...

[@RedBeardsGarage]

I stay so covered up with my own projects I probably wouldn’t ever have time to mess with yours to be honest

[@TacticalTinkerer]

@@RedBeardsGarage I figured as much...I guess that means I just need to tool up to do it myself...I have the skills, just not all the equipment...

[@SurlyMike]

That spindle is dead sexy brother. I dig that montage. Your fab skills are rad. One key axles work well on go-karts and tractors, probably not so well on vehicles that tend to leave the ground.

[@stonerman15]

Beautiful. I think ima build a yard racing cart. I might get the ghost 212 but I’m not sure if thats the better option than the other predator engines. The turbo diesel build was cool also.

[@trumpfancardanostakepool4737]

That was cool to watch.

[@vincentgreene2181]

You should do a shop tour.

[@greggthompson7]

Awesome fab work that has to be a $100,000 spindle….seriously tools materials and labor $$$$$$$&

[@isaacbunniii9629]

This is great I like to be a Faber cater mybe not to extant as you but there's other things I would do very interesting ill watch many other videos you put out

[@keithw372]

if you do a dual pivot trailing arm you do not get camber change threw out the cycle, look at the wildcat XX vs the rzr, or robby gordons sxs. less parts to break and less likely to rip a wheel off easy, just my thoughts.

[@mikemchaney1003]

I am so surprised at this time you don't have cnc plasma cutter. Especially with that high end tubing bender, fab tables, welding rigs and so on.

[@davidaldridge6585]

How are you attaching the cv axel to the I guess it's a chain drive diff. Is there a hub that go power sports sells that connects the back of the cv axle to the homebrew dif?

[@philippaul8106]

New viewer from Oz Red and loving your channel mate especially this build. if you haven't heard of him you should give "Urchfab" a look from the UK . He is a gun fabricator as well with a bike built from scratch frame and all and the " Mongrell" where he puts together some heavy duty roll bars for an old Ford . Would love to see what the two of you together could put together. He's got a plasma cutter which you do fine without . keep up the good work.

[@davidlee50]

It is only a matter of time b4 U go to making a Factory Five car by Chance. Use the Force!

[@ToddS662]

I have a question, why do you switch between mig and tig welding? And will you ever do a tutorial on how you build the rear spool piece?

[@trevort4286]

Surprised with all the awesome fab tools you have that you don’t have a cnc plasma cutter or water jet

[@davidjessee7701]

Dude!! Even cars and cameras has a plasma table..

[@franciscowashington2155]

Beleza muito bom 👍👍👍👍😎

[@jasonsolomon7511]

Do you machine the wheel bearing buckets for the spindle?

[@FullThrottlePerformanceMike]

What size tubing are you using to make your A arms front and rear?

[@319badhass]

what tool did you use to dimple the flat plate on the spindle?

[@shannonrickman7620]

I may have missed something but what are you going to do for reverse?

[@robertheuer7670]

damn thats a nice table...i could make all sorts of lop sided stuff...i dont have a lvl place to put one nore make a spot to put one that wouldn't fully be in the way

[@vintagetintrader1062]

How long are Miata axles, have been looking online and cannot find it listed.

[@MrTworkbench]

Id like to know the dimensions on those spindles! Those look perfect for what i have going here at home.

[@RoryRips]

"Except I got Boo Boo's on my hands." Good old Red Beard! hahahaha

[@shaunwashington1869]

How you put speakers & a radio in Coleman

[@kevinstaunton1264]

What Brand welding helmet are you wearing in this video?

[@kurtyoung6769]

Great fabricating! That rear sprocket will probably be way too big tho.. 8 or 10 teeth too big?

[@RedBeardsGarage]

No I did the math off of the bike setup. This should give us good low end power. We will see of course.

[@thewhiteeazye2728]

Can anyone tell me what that piece is he welded into the rear knuckles? That he put bearings in. Not sure if that's custom or not and can't figure it out

[@OFFCODEV2]

Red Beards Custom Karts

[@LVCJXXX]

Nice! So, no rear brakes??

[@ToddS662]

I bet there’s no shadows in that shop, how many lights do you have?

[@thinkingmanhillbilly]

Have you ever thought about using VW CV's, you can get axles any length you want and you can buy bare Bering carriers.

[@RedBeardsGarage]

I have not but will look into them for sure.

[@melaniehazen3529]

Greg it would be nice if you had a nice drafting table . Brent PHX.

[@jmiguel250r]

You got some skills. Do you have a link for the bearing housing you used and the cv axle flange? Or did you make those on the lath?

[@RedBeardsGarage]

We made those on the lathe. They will be for sale soon on the website rbgkarts.com

[@jmiguel250r]

@@RedBeardsGarage cool you make things looks so easy. I have basic fab skills but tubing scares me. But I’ve never tried it

[@jamiepeffley999]

Did u ever get these in ur store definitely need some

[@stevenmaines9114]

What belt sander is that ?

[@nicolec7290]

That table is the sh-t. Sorry about the language

[@quinnwarman5139]

I thought u would have gone with the wr 450 motor as it's electric start

[@HoodRatActivities]

Is there more videos coming

[@AreEff1987]

Do you provide a coupon code anymore for gopowersports?

[@justinmoore8097]

Is there a part 5

[@A-BONEpickup]

looks like a heavy, heavy duty frame, maybe overkill.

[@yamaha04rider]

Where’s this thing been?

[@drejohnson143]

Hey red I was wondering if you can build me a 224 for my mini bike

[@scottb6430]

How much? Want 1

[@edmondpecotjr.8888]

I thought he had a plasma table or something to cut that with

[@johnbusic3608]

Home baby formula. 13 oz of Pet condensed milk & approx. 20 oz of purified water. 1 TBS karo syrup. Pass it on please.

[@twobroskarting2302]

On this video you kind of skip over how you go from the chromoly axle, and swap over to the center hub section and how you connect in the axles. Could you do a follow up or shed some light on this please sir?

[@samcobuggies984]

Your way to technical for my building style, thank God for a wire feed cause there's going to be gaps.

[@michalg7501]

[@ninjamagic5150]

After watching lots of your videos. And seeing this video..why don't you start building a staple dune buggy gocart that's your design and crank them out and sale them. As a simple fun rig for everyone..than fix the engine upgrade it like 212. Good tires ect. Than powder coat the frame fun colors than put your logo on it..and start cranking them out for your followers viewers and locals rippers. Think it's cool u are building crazy stuff. Think it's time u start fabing your own builds. Like this video..blueprints. order all the supplies.

[@JoeysShortsfortoday]

I like your videos but I have no idea what you notching about. I mean talking about

[@newzerozeroone]

How the hell are you youtube guys picking frames up so damn cheap. The minimum price in AZ is $800 for a rusted POS chinesium frame that should be scrapped.

[@DoubleBogeyBaker]

55hp to 65hp??? Your about 30hp to 40hp off bud.

[@andycliffordkarting]

Huh? A YZ450 absolutely puts out +50hp... Pre 2014 he's looking at around 45-52hp, but with cams and intake it would easily exceed 52

[@blainehale]

Is that a cancerous mole on your hand?

[@RedBeardsGarage]

Blood blister. Hit it with a hammer lol.

[@frankgeimer5952]

Outstanding knuckles!! That was some awesome manufacturing! I totally enjoyed watching you build it!
