Honda CBR 600 buggy build part 7 

Finally someone makes a cool buggy that basically replicates like a yamaha yxz1000 and is not just a juiced up predator 212 with lawn mower wheels lol i love it man

I thank you for not being like every other channel because they use almost just predators and you use good engines that have torque speed and transmissions. Thank you for uploading the content most of us want.

God, i think this might be the coolest build on YT at this time. I would love it if you had it street legal. God, red beard has nothing on you!!! I love his channel but this buggy and your fab skills! Love it!!! Hope the engine is enough as i love that engine!

😲 That is one beastly machine. Every build you do gets better and better. Great show!

Now, THATS A BUGGY! Make that bad boy street legal!

You need to take this thing the the quad ricers ranch after it’s done!

I like the amount of trial and error. That’s real world when you create something custom

The suspention stands out sooooo much!!!!!! Love it! Keep it up man

don't give up you are hand's down the best fabricator i have seen anywhere u tube or not.

I think the king coil overs are the most legit part that have ever been on this channel .. bravo

Still need to tie the 2 sides of the a arm mounts together in the front and the very rear link bars. Any force on the one side you want directly to push against the other and transfer to the ground on the other side. The way it is now with those log unsupported bars will start to bow over time as the suspension works. That brace on the shock hoops might look cool bent but your basically adding an unneeded failure point to it. The force on it will be up and in basically trying to force it down and out. Use a straight tubes to tie things together. Bends add weakness to tubes. On your steering it's easier to setup if you mount your steering on the backside of the spindles. Otherwise in order to get the correct angles normally the tabs have to be pushed out to where the wheel wants to be. On the backside you are bringing the tabs in towards the buggy away from the tires. Also protects the tie rods somewhat more. That top windshield bar will fold at that bend if you ever get it on the side. I also still hope you plan on drilling those bolts and putting castle nuts on those heims holding the spindles on. Those bolts on the bottom will try to loosen up and being upside down will fall out tucking the wheel up under the buggy ripping the arms off.

Doing your R&D the hard way but it's a learning process. This kart is your proof of concept and it'll be a lot of fun. Next time, you'll knock it out of the park with minimal mistakes! Lol 👍

When you put the hardware in the front hubs. Make sure to torque it to factory S10 specs. That is what sets the preload on the tapered roller bearings.

Sweet build mate. About the engine - ballpark the total weight of the buggy (+driver+passenger), work out the HP-per-ton, compare that ratio to a medium sports car (150-200 hp/t) or a crappy 4cyl hatchback (100 hp/t) - As long as you're near the 120-150hp/t mark (if your CBR600rr is 110hp, you've got ~2000lbs to play with) - Keep it near that and it'll be quick... you just need to worry about gearing, as that'll get you the torque.

I wish I had a tenth of the skill you have with all these projects.

Absolutely love this build! In a 4x4 S-10 axle you need the outer cv shaft to have the proper preload on the bearings. Good luck with this build and cant wait to see it moving.

This is my favorite Kart/Buggy channel. Makes it look like I could do it but then I realize, No,, This dude is just that good. He's just making it look easy.

I am building a go kart with my kids at the moment really enjoying spending quality time with them

Could not wait for this video to coke out. I love the buggy and all u do. Nice work bro

Buggy is turning out awesome! I'd love something like that for ripping around my farm!

You're one helluva builder brother, I can't wait to see the finished machine. I know it'll be as awesome as all your others. You're the man!!!👍👍

Man i dont care what anyone says on here, your the man! You do all this work on your own, design, fabricate, and on top of all that you film and edit, one of these days it will all be so worth it buddy, good job and keep up the good work

This thing is insane!! It looks like a mini rock bouncer. Can’t wait to see it in action

Wife looks forward to This is us every week and I look forward to Rather be welding! I don't get why she doesn't understand all this cool stuff!

Great project. Great video. You have awesome fabrication skills.

Best build I have ever seen on RU-vid

It does definitely need the bolt through the hub mate. 100%

This buggy is epic, you are a great fabricator

I love this build!

that suspension though. love those huge shocks

Start saving my friend... You will need a Hayabusa 1300cc engine to get the right power to weight ratio. Love this build great job buddy.

I think it's awesome,that you share the errors along with success.It keeps us all grounded to the fact that not everything is going to work the first time.Thank you for all your hard work.(i'm referring to the editing too.Wow.Great videos Chris ! )

Everything is looking awesome!! Maybe for your next build, instead of those giant off-road style shocks, maybe try a cantilever style a la F1? Might help to keep your overall profile a little smaller and more compact. Either way, keep up the awesome work!! I can't wait for the next video!!

Great work. You're learning as you go, and that makes for a pro. Love the videos!!

Wow what you've done here is absolutely amazing even if something doesn't work or if you need to make an adjustment or fix something it doesn't matter it's still incredibly awesome

Cool buggy build.. You're going to need about 300 HP for this to be fun....cheers

Ur fab skills are insane💯

You're learning kid! After this build you will have a pretty good grasp on how to build an offroad buggy. You're going to need stops for your steering and either stops or fall out straps for your suspension when it's topped out (fully extended). You don't want the shocks topping out, it will ruin them. You are DEFINITELY going to need a steering stabilizer unless you're fond of broken wrists. Talk to King for your spring rate and valving when it's all done. If you give them your buggy weight, suspension configuration and the type of driving you're going to be doing they should be able to give you baseline spring rates and valving and clicker adjustments. All these things should have been taken into account long before you started buying parts or building anything but it is what it is now. You've built that buggy a little bigger than that motor will probably be able to REALLY scream with but if you gear it right it will probably be ok you just won't have a lot of top end speed, maybe 50-60 instead of 70-80 MPH but that's still pretty fast for off road. Hopefully the clutch will hold but you will almost definitely have to put the heaviest duty clutch and springs int that are available. I would think it should still pull pretty good out of the hole because of low gearing... Next best choice would probably be a 1000+ cc motor especially something like a Hayabusa, I think they put out something like 190 HP stock. It might be a little too pricey for you, don't know. Next option would be a good ol straight 4 cyl like a toyota 22R(?) They put out like 120 HP stock. Then you could mod it a bit for probably 150 HP naturally aspirated or throw a mild turbo setup on it to easily and reliably get 200 HP out of it. A V8 (like an LS) for that buggy is out of the question, way too big. Mayb on your next one you could do a full size buggy with long travel and LS power. You'd probably need 25k minimum to build something like that though. That said, when your done with this build I think you will have a nice little long travel buggy that will suck up some serious bumps,whoops and jumps. Look forward to seeing it all done!

Should be called a rock bouncer! Looks sweet!

Can't wait to see It running.

For chain tension I suggest making the motor move back and forth. Look at micro sprint motor mounts. That’s how we adjust our chains

I saw that type of engine mounted in a car,much heavier than that buggy. And it work fine. Lot of power,enough for sure.

You got a lot done in this video. Good job. Keep it up.

I love this build

OMG. This build is going swimmingly well. Dune buggy time is coming.

I’ve been waiting for this for so long!!!!!!!😂😂😂

Like I said before the bloopers at the end of the video are the best part awesome man can’t wait to see the first test run

You need positive stops on the suspension. First time it goes to full extension you're likely to damage those coilovers. Been following the series. Must say pretty awesome build keep it up

The engine just looks small compared to the buggy. I am sure it will move it fine, it's just a perception thing.

I liked most when he bounced around on the cart to test the suspension like a goof, love this guy's vids

im loving this build

You are a very talented man. I hope you have a lot of fun running that baby.

That thing is bad ass you should be proud. You have really came a long way keep it up . Love your ability to tackle the problems that you come to great job

At this point you might as well build something street legal, good job!

This thing is so badass! I cant even handle it!

But your a damn great Genius......... dude you rock.... wonderful thing built take time...

love it when you said "Yeaay more problems!" :D that's spirit.

Oh you know. Just bust out in freestyle @7:13 that beat is too fire. Then proceed to complete the song with singing hook at the bridge portion when you attach the steering wheel. It was all so harmonious. Thanks bro.

Love this glad I found your channel

I must say im impressed with the look of chasie

Those shocks are insane

Plan on putting a big winch on it you can switch from front to back. Don't want you rely on help from others to get you unstuck.

Those shocks are really overkill!

You will probably need custom drive shafts. Extended, sleeved and welded shafts will work on a lightweight, low powered buggy. Welded drivetrain components are strong only when you have a large enough diameter to bear the load, ie, on a 4' diameter tailshaft. On a small diameter shaft there simply isn't enough weld to hold. But hey, give it a shot, it probably won't wreck anything expensive if it lets go. Keep up the good work!

2 things about your front end. Pull your outer tie rod mounts inwards to align them with the 2 heim joints you’re using for ball joints and then that same angle needs to be copied on your inner heim joints to eliminate bump steer. All that work to eliminate bump steer and your scrub radius is still so far off that when one tire hits a tree root it will probably rip the steering wheel out of your hands. Turn the steering wheel with the tires on the ground. The tires ideally should pivot on one point for zero scrub radius. Your tires will have to travel (roll) in a semicircle to turn left and right.

Looking good man. Ur killing it

That looks so cool I LOVE IT!!!!!

In my previous experience of moving semi-heavy wheeled vehicles (aka 50s tractors) without them running, standing on the rear tire and "log rolling" it to move the vehicle is the easiest and least damaging way to move a vehicle. Have also done this on an old pickup truck. Harder with the bed covering the wheel wells but still works pretty well.

That looks awesome 👏🏻

I like how its looking and the tire rack would be cool

Those front shock locations are going to drive you nuts with them in your line of site all the time.

Damn I love these videos.

Good job and problem solving, keep it up!

For steering and spindles you could use some parts from the junkyard to avoid misalignments in crucial areas

Greetings from Argentina, you are a genius.

That is one badass buggy, looking good man

You make great content sick builds man love it, watching from New Zealand 🤙🏻

That's coming along great!, wish I had the stuff to make that😁🖒🖒🖒✌, but that looks BEAUTIFUL, tho!!!

Looks dope hope the 600 can move it around

That going to be a great desert buggy

You have to put limiting straps with those shocks

That is a smart looking buggy

Saturday* lol i love the videos bro. Keep me coming. I can’t wait to hear the CBR engine revving up

I think the way it looks is great man and that tire made the look of it bad ass man keep it that way

That’s is an awesome buggy!!

very nice job for the buggy

Damn that's looking sweet can't wait to see it done 👍

Awesome vid! The endings are always too funny 😅😂

you bring up akermann which is great for education, love the videos my guy. An easier solution to your steering problem is to put your linkage on the inside of the tire rather than the outside for any who are trying the same thing at home.

I hope the Ads I watch will help you get that spare tyre

Good job man keep up the good work

Yes, chevy hubs are pressed together, but indefinitely needs a bolt. I was outvoted working on a 99 chevy Tahoe about putting the cv axles back through, so they put everything back together again. We went for the test ride left my warehouse and got up to the lovely speed of 45mph before all hell broke loose making us do a 360 and being s.o.l. Passenger side front shot out first which I was riding shotgun, then the driver side went. It'll hold till there's legit power and weight. Ripped the whole front out fresh ball joints, sway bar, steering, and the whole brake lines were gone when they went. Ps after that my buddies finally realized to listen to me when we're working on anything from dirt bikes to trucks. Lol

Those front shocks are gonna get in the way of your field of view when you're driving.

Four wheel drive Chevrolet you do need the cv axle end with nut on to keep it outer part of hub and wheel/tire coming off. I learned the hard way by putting a 4x4 hub assembly on a 2 wheel drive....

Sometimes you act funny but that's the best part of your videos. Your videos never gets bored. You are a real genius man. Love your work.. Just subscribed mate.

4wd hubs need a stub to hold the roller bearing centers together, figured that one out before on a late night front diff swap. Did just fine for 5 miles, one hard turn and a bump leaving a drive through, pop there it went.

Great job men, go for it... From Argentina. Salud.-

Dude that's badass!

For 4wd the front axle and nut is what puts the "preload" on the unit bearings. You'll need to come up with a bolt of some sort to tighten up in there. If you look at the newer trucks from all makes the front unit bearings are the same for 2wd and 4wd the 2wd uses a bolt assembly to preload the bearings.

To minimize your bump steer, make your tie rods (center to center of each heim joint) as long as the difference in length between the heim joints of your upper and lower A-arms. For example: if your lower arm is 24" long, and your upper arm is 22" long, make your tie rods 23" long. If your tie rods are too long, you'll get bump out. If they are too short, you'll get bump in. Good luck, and keep on welding.
