You are the harder on yourself than you should be. Fact is that more than 90% of people who watch your videos absolute love most of your projects. The problem is that people who dislike them are louder than us. Your tires are fine as putting on bigger ones will introduce more gearing issues not to mention adding more unsprung weight. Yeah, I did want to see you take it closer to redline but you are still doing shake-down runs and it would be smart to take it easy until you iron out all the issues (like batteries dragging on the ground😉). This is your show and you direct it how you see fit. I and many of trust that you know what you are doing and will keep us entertained. Thanks for the documentation on many awesome builds and I hope to see more of them.

Just a suggestion, but you should install seat belts before you go off roading. Are you planning on putting sheet metal sides and firewall on? Bigger tires is only going to make your gear ratio even worse.

@WarefareModern3 5 жыл бұрын

Joe W It sounded to me like he wanted more speed with his current gears. Meaning it’s geared too low. Bigger tires would actually increase top speed.

I completely agree. Basic rule of thumb for me is Roll cage = seatbelt No roll cage = no seatbelt. In this case he has a roll cage so he ought to put a seatbelt on that thing.

Wow, look at this badass cart you've designed and built from scratch! So impressed watching this series. Traditionally a sequential shifter is back for up a gear and forward to go down a gear. When you're racing, you'll see that the weight of your arm under acceleration/deceleration favors that geometry. Keep up the good work and be safe.

I have a similar buggie. When I first got it ready to test drive i was convinced it need bigger tires. But, i decided to wait. Had it for years now, off road almost weekly. Glad I didn't get bigger tires. Tire size can dramatically change handling, especially if you don't have power steering. Most people run larger tires for form not function. If your building this to have fun the most important thing is confident handling. Don't go bigger unless it is actually better.

I think your next machine is going to be on point. Your biggest hurdle atm is transmission. So long as you consider the trans prior to starting the next build all these gearing issues should not be a problem, the rest is falling into place for you.

There is nothing wrong with the gearing you just need to put the engine into its power band. I never saw you get even close to the red line of this engine, thats where its power and your speed will be. Also the transmission in the engine is a constant mesh design, no need to clutch with every shift,just let up a bit on the throttle and grab the next gear.

Well done mate. Maybe jets for fuel, and pods for the carbs it would be trying to breath threw a straw. Custom exhaust manifold like tuned length. Use premium fuel around 98 octane to get the most of the engine. Well done mate love your videos. Paint it colour flip, so when you look at in different angles it's a different colour, very hard but very cool.
