I purchased a chassis from The Garage Vlog a few months ago and it finally arrived. Now it's time to see if I can get this build completed! My goal is to have this ride ready to haul my RC's around at this years Proline By The Fire!

Looks awesome! You should build a mini trailer to haul the rc’s

@em2jeff Год назад

i didn't know i needed a mini trike. that thing is waaaaay cool

@scalebuildersguild Год назад

Note the lack of storage space in the back of the Gladiator.

@krieger6966 Год назад

And the trike

@Slaters_RC Год назад

I was looking more at how the trike has a better looking wheel and tire package then the gladiator

@marcushaas44 Год назад

Should have bought a truck!

@dave-iq3dq Год назад

I easily hauled a couple 4x8 sheets of plywood in my wife’s minivan the other day with the hatch completely shut. Can you do that in a gladiator?

@mikebird8290 Год назад

LOOKING GREAT SO COOL 🇬🇧🇺🇲🕊️✌🏼🤩👍🏼🤙🏼

@jconis7401 Год назад

That's just too cool Josh!! Thanks for the build vid.

@twisterzman Год назад

SICK! I love it. Maybe incorporate a back rest into the RC caddy?(gives you room to stack two without them smacking you in the back) Cannot wait to see this RIP!

@ashleyconnelley556 Год назад

Been waiting on this all weekend

@Rokstardad82 Год назад

You’ve really stepped up your scale interior game. Awesome video lol 👍

@HarleyDesignsInc Год назад

Gator skin going in everything now!

@wesmadebuilds681 Год назад

It’s like the Oprah show… you get a collar, you get a collar everyone gets a collar.

@joshuacook1977 Год назад

Trailer, handle bar/ front fender mount, rear fender mounts, rear rack... All great rc mounting/carrying ideas!

@CoachD386 Год назад

Awesome mini build

@beeftubes3668 Год назад

Love it! Can't wait to see it finished.

@rossgross7497 Год назад

Looks like a fun toy.

@robbanks2132 Год назад

That is one sweet unit! Can’t wait to see it finished!!

@dadario1946 Год назад

love it

@DeadnCold Год назад

If you haven't made a decision yet on the truck rack for the back, may I make a suggestion? A simple bar straight up the center, then mount a double hook on each side, the sort of rubber coated ones made to hang shovels or rakes on a wall. then simply hang a truck on each side by the axle. Then mount a plastic pelican style case on the top of the bar over the trucks, motorcycle topbox style to put your radio/batteries in.

@HarleyDesignsInc Год назад

That’s a unique idea. Interesting though for sure. I’ll kick it around.

@roor512 Год назад

That’s what she said at 10:03 lol great build can’t wait to see more

@MatthewJorgensen1968 Год назад

Ya know, this could be a radio control with a few modifications... That would be a cool series...

@alanq64 Год назад

Need ya a basket on the front with a 'ching-ching' bell. 😁 Can't wait to see you get it running. Those tires are perfect.

@ashleyconnelley556 Год назад

Looks awesome

@stevenanderson8212 Год назад

Great videos of the trike, I appreciate you putting them together, considering buying one but always like seeing other opinions and not just a company promoting their own build. Waiting for part 3.

@diytypeofguy6502 11 месяцев назад

Nice 👍🏽

@tlheingrunst Год назад

You said it "silly" ha looks like a riot of fun!

@mbx5brian Год назад

Cool video Josh

@orleelambert1304 Год назад

Super cool!

@bgredjeep Год назад

I imagine that thing is going to be ridiculously fast with that motor and the cvt. I've seen guys getting like 35mph from the mini bikes swapping to that trans on a stock engine. 😆

@HarleyDesignsInc Год назад

I’ll gear down or limit the throttle if needed! That’s too fast!

@Mikey1962 Год назад

Looking good so far.

@westdesertwheeler2666 Год назад

My favorite part is that 3 mini trike wheels and tires barely fit in the jeep “bed”

@peteb8885 Год назад

Great, now I NEED a trike!

@smokeysrc Год назад

Refreshing change of pace great video 💯👍

@meirdeaph Год назад

Being harley designs this makes total sense

@BigMountainCustomRC Год назад

Dude...that Ghost is a BEAST BTW-Cool Seat!!

@asian-ugrclab2367 Год назад

So badass! 💪🏾😎

@forrestcrabbe Год назад

9:50 scary fun is badass 🤘

@Gloppp Год назад

I think I would weld up a basket off of the back for those RC Racers like you typically see on a FWD

@derekloomis4874 Год назад

I want one now !! So cool

@user-ko3vg7fc7o Год назад

Build a small trailer for the trucks

@WinstonCorneilius Год назад

A matching wheel, RC trailer would look so crazy!

@HarleyDesignsInc Год назад

I’m really just worried about having to haul another big piece around.

@martinbradbury5920 Год назад

That looks cool

@Tom_Wade Год назад

Are your neighbors concerned about the amount of time you spend talking to yourself in the garage? Can’t wait to see the trike ripping around!

@matthewhall1068 Год назад

Was literally gonnna ask the same thing! I imagined some old lady out walking her dog with her grandkid an her looking over and seeing him just having a full on conversation to him self an her grabbing her grandkids arm like "c'mon little Timmy you needa to stay away from that house that guys crazy!"🤣

@aaronscott2278 Год назад

Wow love it man

@scottoblander9419 Год назад

Les Schwab colab!

@SwampersRC Год назад

Nice pit ride! Just to make it a little more comfortable, you might consider moving the foot pegs forward to the curve of the frame. As for carrying RCs I was thinking a large basket with 2 pieces of 7/8" tubing attached to the bottom that could slide into some 1" tubes welded to the rear of the frame.

@HarleyDesignsInc Год назад

A basket would be easy I agree, but I am thinking of something more fabricated so it has a cool look. Still undecided.

@modzilla74 Год назад

That's gonna be a little ripper!. A good name for it to. Hahaha. Nice dude!. eBay turbo time!!!!! hehe

@strech5412 Год назад

Like when Frank Zappa wrote a symphony and conducted the London Symphony Orchestra. Yeah!

@boy6named6zoen6 Год назад

Looks so cool. To bad we can't drive those things on the public roads in the Netherlands, I would have considered buying and building one.

@joe-mac Год назад

That's gonna look sick in bright orange powder coat 😉.

@HarleyDesignsInc Год назад

Pearly white creamsicle!

@jerryvolpini7987 Год назад

Josh: "How silly is this?" Me: Very silly 🤷‍♂️ I WANT ONE!!!

@robertredman5497 Год назад

To transport trucks, what about having them sitting vertically-ish - on their back wheels? There looks to be enough space to have two side by side.

@elchecomena Год назад

Now you need a little wagon with some fat tires as well for those rc's 😎😎

@JEMSGarageandMotorsports Год назад

Run a bolt on rack off the seat pan so you can remove it later for your backpack or rig. Design up a flat aluminum or titanium or carbon fiber belt guard, like custom Harley belt guards, to send off when you send out for the rear rack. A front platform for second rig mounted straight so you could use the rig's lights as your head lights on the front. Use a gopro style mount to connect it to your front risers so you can attach and detach easily. Will also act as front fender incase of dirty conditions. Or make fenders for the rear tires and make those your RC racks too.

@goreyboggs Год назад

Very impressive! I was into mopeds for a while. Still have a Honda elite & Spree🤦‍♂️! Lol. My wife makes fun of me for them. But I just can’t sell😁

@greggmundkowsky5798 Год назад

Add a rack to the front fork like on a touring bicycle gives you a place for the transmitters or a 3rd rig

@Legoman585 Год назад

Pretty cool dude, looks like just enough to seriously hurt yourself on.

@matthewhall1068 Год назад

Hey man really hope you know your gonna have massive interference with the lower frame rail where the secondary pulley opens under speed/power !!I Used to race shifter carts and so did my little brother and he was in the class that ran predators! And theres no way theres enough room for that to open!!!

@HarleyDesignsInc Год назад

I’ll look at clocking it upward.

@genemaster74 Год назад

The trike addict has found a new low😅...low to the ground that is 😎nicce piece of kit ...but wayy over powered. by the way add some solid mudguards, and that will give you more room for a box for rc equipment and mounting your trucks....Simples🤓

@mbarton98 Год назад

Looks better than I imagined and looking forward to seeing more videos on this. I would probably go with a trailer. That way you could have a cooler with you too and some better padding for the RCs during transport. You could then go really crazy and add some servos to the trike so you can switch models on your Futaba and drive the trike to where you are. What ever you decide will be entertaining to watch.

@HarleyDesignsInc Год назад

I just don’t want to have to haul a trailer with me. The gladiator is short on bed space 😁

@Basshertz13 Год назад

Any of those RC’s that are on the side. I clean up beat to death Rc cars and trucks one leg out to the crusher I clean up for you!!! I really like how the trike is coming along it really looks well made they didn’t skimp on material size that’s for sure . At the rate your going you’ll be riding to get coffee by Tuesday. Can’t wait to see more

@strech5412 Год назад

My wife wants to know if you’re building a side-car for your cat to ride with goggles on. I thought “he’s gonna do that for sure”.

@olafstrand9965 Год назад

Still in the dancing rider phase I see 😜 Trailer bro, fab up a cool pull behind unit, matching wheels and tires 😎 wrap it with your logo, or alligator skin ha

@davidhazelden2054 Год назад

That’s lookin fantastic n loads n loads fun u only need little plate to mount the springs for seat I’m supriced they didn’t use the sprocket as the brake disc as well all in 1 Carnt wait c it progress m8

@sweetd8645 Год назад

Little red wagon trailer with matching tires.

@sweetd8645 Год назад

Or just a red wagon tub off the wheelie bar, you could mount it with more hiems.

@BrothrBob Год назад

I don't care what Matt says, I like it thou, lol

@HarleyDesignsInc Год назад

He hates fun! 😎

@brianmills3793 Год назад

Pretty cool Josh!! I'm thinkin 18" ape hangers with a handle bar basket!! hahaha

@HarleyDesignsInc Год назад

If these bars don’t work like I want, I’ll do some 14’s maybe 😁

@johngookinsable Год назад

I'm suprised it didn't come from Vanquish! 😆👍

@russellsouza6077 Год назад

Make a tall silly bar 70’s chopper style and mount a basket for the rc rigs

@forrestcrabbe Год назад

I got mixed feelings on that frame but I'm still thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis jealous of the build. i wants another ruckus methinks 🤘🍻🤘

@shawns7112 Год назад

Send it off to powder coating! Sweet project!

@gvngoheavy Год назад

I vote for a front rack for the RC carry setup. Look up bikepacking rigs.

@fredrieger5226 Год назад

Make a trailer to match the trike, haul crawlers and tools, etc and you can drop the trailer if you just want to play!

@longtalltexanrc3358 Год назад

That trike is so awesome. Could you make a rack that would catch a front or rear axle and allow the trucks to hang vertically? This way it doesn’t take too much space behind you when you are not toting rigs

@cherokee1995 Год назад

I say build a trailer for crawlers, LOL

@matthewhall1068 Год назад

Also put the rc cars over the rear tires on either side with the rc tires almost touching the trikes tires almost like fenders!!!🤣🤣

@forrestcrabbe Год назад

What about a pull behind cart to haul tiny trucks

@WoolstyRC Год назад

You could fit 4 on the back easy and side ways, just put them behind the tyres. Make like a double T bracket then the rigs can go on top of the T's

@kts8806 Год назад

I'm thinking a sissy bar like on the back of choppers then rig up something like how you display the tucks in your studio for hauling.

@vbspeed7571 Год назад

I been think of this

@jerrysparks3946 Год назад

I didn't even mess around, I'm waiting for a turn-key trike from TGV.

@kobitkakustomsoffroadadven7187 Год назад

This thing is sick. How about something saddle bag like for rigs over the rear wheels just an idea

@JJ78n Год назад

It needs a sissy bar up the back with mounting bars kinda like the shelves in your studio.

@1LACOSRC Год назад

Diggin the pit trike for sure dude! Extend the wheelie-bar & drop a plate with a couple bends (lip) in the open space to haul rigs?

@brokennibrc1045 Год назад

I'd put a big 'ol tractor seat on that sucker! But then again, I'm old, it's all about the butt-comfort...🙂 As far as hauling RC's, Might consider just making a little trailer, or converting one of those Home Depot steel garden carts... then you only have to design a hitch on the trike, just opens up more options, INMHO

@HarleyDesignsInc Год назад

I don’t want to haul a second item like a big trailer.

@brokennibrc1045 Год назад

@@HarleyDesignsInc I understand, but it doesn't have to be "big" necessarily, just a little 2 wheel job you can detach easily, doesn't have to "haul" a whole lot, but it might be a little easier than engineering a detachable basket, I dunno. I'm sure whatever you do will look great

@kdf1369 Год назад

Could mount one rig on the rear and another off the forks. The fork mount could clamp on just above the bottom of the "trees" to make it easily detachable.

@alanbarnes8786 8 месяцев назад

Make alittle cart that you can attach and detached needed.

@strydyrhellzrydyr1345 Год назад

I think you were just supposed to flip the front tire around the other way... To move the offset the other way...

@jorgevela3075 Год назад

Do you have a parts list of all the accessories that you purchased to put your trike together?

@aaronledford8146 Год назад

BMI has a motor plate #600839 which allows you to move engine laterally!

@gigawattrc Год назад

Gator boots n Gucci suits

@aegixxer1 Год назад

I still say the seat needs a fox shock or two instead of the springs. Maybe add some "Highway pegs" so you can stretch your legs a little. The only part that seems a little cramped to me is the foot peg position.

@lowrinjuggalo Год назад

hey man u can us deep wall sockets for bar spacers don't it alot on real bikes.. y not make the crawler hual area where the rig is on its side or like a 45 to 55 degree angle then u can stack them on top of each other but sideways lol

@animalpix13 Год назад

Cool little ride!! I have a few 1985 Honda 125m ATC's with Hoosier smoothies they came stock with electric start and 3 speed lots of fun great pit bikes and trash haulers. You got to revisit the FMS FCX24 been doing some awesome mods puts the SCX24 to shame. Matt over at 2FMRC and I have been having fun building them.... Great vid as always😄

@HarleyDesignsInc Год назад

Should be fun for sure. I have two FCX24’s still. Just can’t seem to get into them. Just not a big fan still.

@animalpix13 Год назад

you will

@gamingwithdurly Год назад

Rear fenders, you could carry 2 rigs and not get hit with rocks dirt or what gets stuck in the tires.

@anthonyreddy2834 Год назад

I feel like you should have did more research on wheel spacers, wheel spacers and torque converter, which you need engine spacers to get the right alignment.

@HarleyDesignsInc Год назад

I didn’t need any spacers for the torque converter. Everything ended up lining up fine there. The only issues I ended up having was purchasing incompatible sprockets and hubs.

@HoundStuff Год назад

Cool project, lookin great! That will be fun to ride. Electric conversion in the future??? lol

@HarleyDesignsInc Год назад

They built electric versions as well but I really had no interest in it. I wanted the gas build specifically.

@HoundStuff Год назад

@@HarleyDesignsInc Didn't realize they did that also, sounds good. Sort of a flippant comment on my part given all of the gas to electric conversions going on these days. 🤡 Looking forward to seeing more of this one!

@ScaledRC Год назад

Now to explain to my wife how I need a drift trike 🤔

@edderocher4761 Год назад

go power sports is a awesome place for parts

@gregorykolanek6820 Год назад

Left side / right side sitting on the vehicle. Rider is in the center.

@hirevinrs4 Год назад

Sissy bar and have brackets for the rc

@strydyrhellzrydyr1345 Год назад

I was thinking maybe a way to carry the trucks in the front... Or.. all that room up between your legs and the handle bars... A ton of room

@220swift Год назад

Sometimes the front hub would bolt into the other side of the rim to center up the load on the front tire maybe possibly why the offset was wrong

@HarleyDesignsInc Год назад

Could totally be!

@304renegade Год назад

Awesome build! What if you held the trucks vertically and put one in the rear and one in the front? Another option for truck hauling would a cool little custom trailer, then you could make provisions for spare batteries and tools.

@HarleyDesignsInc Год назад

I’ll have a headlight up front that I forgot to mention.

@304renegade Год назад

@@HarleyDesignsInc cool, I think it’s gonna be stupid quick depending on the gearing.
