Part 5: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-kAGBX9UNKZw.html Apologies for shorter vid. I had to work on my cars. Also the engine is a mockup engine it will not be harmed by the sparks.
If you have room for it, I suggest you create a small under-carriage ram air scoop that leads air to your chain to help control the temperature of your chain, it's worth a shot. motorbikes either remove the chain entirely and go with a belt or they keep the chain because there is enough airflow to keep it's temperature under control. A belt might also be an option for you too. Also it would also be a good idea to put in a heat shield to protect your chain from radiant heat, from the engine/exhaust. Temperature is ALWAYS the top concern with any performance vehicle so doing your best to mitigate it is never a wasted effort. do some before and after race temperature tests for temperature of the chain and then install a small ram scoop for air directed at the chain and see if it makes a difference, if not then you can remove the small drag producing item and be done with it, but I think it will go a long way to extending the life span of the chain.
This cheese wedge Is coming along nicely so far. Can't wait to see more updates an projects and many more videos soon my friend. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Fab On. Weld On. Keep Making. God bless.
The Ev would fair much better in a bike frame. I drove one 10 years ago and we could barely get it to hit 35 mph down hill. Lol. I will say that battery tech has come far since then.
While I can't afford to support ya right now, I can give ya some supporting words. This build is epic man, and your skills with fabrication are something to be proud of! Loving it!
Bro you are doing so well! I honestly wish I could spare you some money, I'm so strapped for money myself at the moment 😧 Maybe when I sell my RX7 to start a new project (I've got a half renovated house at the moment) maybe then I'll send you a few bucks? Heck I'll be honest and say that I'm picking up cans to cash in at the recyclers just so I've got enough fuel to get to work each week; but getting to work keeps me and my dog fed so that's all I care about at the moment. Dreams are just pie in the sky for me at this point in life, so I get to experience some joy vicariously through you and your creations! So thank you and God bless
Looking good. Though my very first thought is that you should put tubing in the middle of the aluminium rectangle section where the bolts go through to provide compression strength. Because you probably won't be able to get internal access to do any welding, you will likely have to drill the top hole larger, drop in the tubes and then tig it in from there and possibly a couple of bottom tacks to secure it from wiggling about. Otherwise, fantastic.
looks sick dude! any idea if ur gonna put some kind of cushioning/suspension component on the seats? for it to not feel so rough on one's back? or is the miat suspension gonna take care of that problem? love the updates tho
You know you can keep all the bracket tree for the reverse much closer just add another pulley that way you can make your chain twice as long but keep everything closer and you could have switched the brackets out for aluminum brackets so that way you could have just welded it to the frame but it all works the way you have it
Vasily, your design and fabrication skills have come so far! Seeing where you are right now on this build I can easily envision a little truck bed on the back of it. It is so good to hear you giving Glory To God! Keep it up and you are gonna be surprised how far you go here! 😊 As Always, May God Bless you and yours! 😇
He started w/ a cheese wedge and he's going to end up w/ a splitting maul..... This thing is going to mental, I'm really curious if it will be able to pull the front wheels off the ground. 😮❤❤
Your "Max-Wedge" is Super Sharp ! With all you're doing to beef it up,and possibly handle ok,I worry about the aluminum frame tube crushing where you mounted the steel tubes.I was hoping you'd use steel inside and bolt Through so there's be no chance of ripping through.It's Your party,so do what You want ;)
I wish you could have mounted the motor higher and angled it down for the gearbox. Just drying to think of how you could have done this without the gearbox sticking out the back so far. Keep up the good work! I am happy to see your subs grow.
Well it's not the reverse that I'm crazy about. Just to reduce time spent on fabrication. Reduce machine time/ work. And a solid drivetrain that doesn't twist
Been a subscriber for a long time now. Just recently built a toy i now have for sale and think youd love it. Shifter kart with a twin cylinder , 750cc , 2 stroke jetski motor
980mm axles that prorche uses are great! VWs, audio, Acura and Mitsubishi all use them. Diffs usually have axle flanges and the axles bolt into place great for custom just remove portion of axles to size. Inboard ad out board cvt axles allow huge travel.😅
I built a starter-motor-powered Hydraulic Power Unit, chain-drive with that smallest toy-like chain [driving a power steering pump], I have it lifting an engine hoist crane. but concerning chain heating up, what I found was greatly related to gear ratios. With too extreme a ratio I saw the chain even heat up red-hot and change colors due to the torque involved. But with a more reasonable ratio my device works fine now and can lift thousand of pounds without the small(and short!) chain even getting warm. Just a thought to consider about supersport-powered chain drive vehicles and chains overheating.. but they have to deal with the existing gear ratios they are handed with engine/vehicle/diff-box combos.
Felt pad for chain lubing? (Bears on the inside of the chain, and the lower part of the piece of felt dips into a heavy gear or hydraulic oil. Have thought of using this idea on the enclosed chain drive parts of a reverse trike.)
