Honda VF 1100 buggy build part 10 

Your fabrication skills are next level, I have never seen anyone do so much with raw steel in such a tiny workshop.

Please,befor you start depending on your roll over cage remove the 2 vert.supports behind the seat and replace it with an " X " drace. please think about it

You might want to rethink the torsional strength of that chain tensioner if you solid mount it. That huge v engine will have a ton of compression braking. ALL of that force will be directly applied to that tensioner. And with spring tension, I think it's one hard downshift away from piling the chain into the engine case. TBH if you had a double roller on the same arm, but the other roller above the top drive chain; then you wouldn't get a load of slack up top when compression braking. Then you could keep what you already have. I'm not being a naysayer. Your projects are rad and well thought out.

20:21 It was at that moment he knew... he f up 😂 Btw maybe you should put some bigger rear axles to handle all the torsion

You are an awesome fabricator/welder! Mesmerized watching you work, a real talent.

By far my favorite RU-vid channel!!! I love love love how you explain everything out and aren't afraid to laugh at your mistakes. We're all learning and I truly enjoy your videos. Keep them coming the entertainment value is greatly appreciated!!!

ROTFLMFAO drill flying around epic. Glad ya didn't get to hurt though lol

Just finished watching you 670 build with the semi independent suspension. You killed it. Really cool man.

That DeWalt drill entered in "Self Destruction Attempt". Luckily, it survived! You know something its not a good idea when the person doing it says it before!

Wow, this thing is finally getting together. Amazing

Very MOTIVATIONAL videos!!! The "ahhhhhhh" at the end had me in stitches. Subscribed...

Oh,Our GOD!That last clip almost killed me.I have 2 broken ribs,and when that drill was spinning... Awesome build again Chris.That really looks tough enough to off-road race,even.I'd suggested the Chainfall to make lifting and turning your frames easier.A couple strips of angle steel, bolted to your roof joists, and you can lift the buggy with motor.

Love the out takes, real life happens. Another outstanding video.

After that plastic tension roller.. Eats it's self, a bearing mounted idle sprocket is cheap and reliable.. My plastic wheel lasted 15 minutes.. :-)

I am now up to date with this build. Very cathartic watching all the lathe work.. funny you were sarcastic about looking forward to welding up the frame. And your channel is called... 😂😂 your awesome dude keep up the good work.

That ending scene was awesome haha

I very rarely knock someone's work and I am not doing it now, I will, however, advise you put an X brace in the back of the roll cage and for the love of all things rearward facing ... please make sure you put floor pans in under the seats, I have witnessed first hand the mess it makes of (luckily) just a seat when you get a branch bounce under the vehicle from one of the front tyres then dig in as the vehicle goes over it, if someone had been sitting in that seat at the time they would have been skewered like a shish kebab. Keep up the good work, this little buggy is going to be epic.

If i lived near you I would absolutely LOVE to help you out with your projects and hold things for you, you seriously need an assistant at crucial parts.

Nice work! That thing is a beast. Can't wait to see it in action.

Heck yeah man you got a ton done to it,looks amazing

A lot of work going into what your doing. Great Job. God Bless

I love the way this build looks so far

Dude youre a beast doing this stuff alone. Nice work & builds man!

I love your videos man! Maybe its just me but id like to see more seat time. More vids of ya rippin the karts around

Tip for the cv axle’s if you have trouble, if you remove the boot clips pull back the boot take out grease the centre shaft will come out of the cv joint itself c clipped in splined on the ends that enters the cv joint, you have the tools and brain to just make a complete solid shaft Joint to joint 👍🏻

Hope you have a wonderful time in Oregon.........

I love ur builds bro everything is from scratch

13:40 DID ANYONE ELSE HEAR AND SEE THE WOBBLE OF THE BRAKE DISC? AND HOW CLOSE THE INSIDE OF THE TIRE WAS TO THAT BRACKET? SOON AS HE HITS A BUMP.... THAT TIRE IS HITTING. STILL LOVE THE CHANNEL, AND AT LEAST YOU HAVE THE AMBITION TO DO A PROJECT LIKE THIS.... PROPS, ALL.THE WAY.

LOL We saw that coming as soon as your drill quit on you the first time. I was yelling at the screen... "you better pull your drill off before you let go of the trigger or the tire will rip it from your hands!" Hahahaha!! That was funny!! thanks for adding that at the end!

Dude I am getting so fucking pumped for this build. Been watching since Pt1. Looking good!!

I feel you pain working alone, too often I wish someone else was dealing with the camera and could help hold things!!! That drill motor almost took you for a ride, be careful. Keep it up man!!

I’m enjoying watching, thanks for posting

I totally dig your channel. I live in Oregon. I was on my way to the gambler 500 and my gambler car blew up and now I can't go. Good luck and "Always be Gambling"

Mate, pleasure watching you work. Few things though.... 1. The floor pan ends before your butt and all that's protecting you from a spiky rock to the groin are those plastic seats. Might want to extend the floor.... 2. Why bolt the floor down? Rivets would be lighter and easier. 3. I have to echo about the chain tensioner. To close to the rear sprocket. I'm not opposed to making it out of Nylon though, but it needs to be more central if you can package it. Can't wait to see it finished! Until then please make sure you have an exit strategy when you spin the wheels. You had pretty much nowhere to go if the wheels had been out of balance and jumped the chassis of the sawhorses.

I can't wait to see how will the gear works !

You are very talented inspires me a lot to try new things nice job man

Grind hard plumbing wants to race your buggy when your done

Another great episode, it's great to see the progression, also the mistakes, keeping it real 😁

Hey, the roof is bending!😂😂lol

Awesome! Can’t say I agree with the chain tensioner as I think it may snap!

Hahahahahahah the drill part moving the front wheel at the end was totally crazy 😂😂😂

I liked this video, it was funny, especially with the drill bit at the end, seems like something i'd try

Amazing work! Only thing I really wish you would put a set of truck 33 inch tires on the rear. But that's it!!😀😀😀

Hey man, I love the build. Great choice going with that engine btw! I just had a suggestion for your hoist that you have in the rafters. What you need to do is get either 3 - 2x4 by 12ft long boards, or, 1 4x6 by 12ft. You will also need some 90 degree twisted strong ties. 4 for each rafter that you cross. Along with that you will need some bolt on D-rings and some screws. For the 2x4s, you gotta do some clamping and gluing. Take two of them and glue them together. You will glue them like if you were stacking them. Then clamp it really well and screw them together to hold the boards tight together. Then take your 3rd one and glue it so it covers the seam, not the same way as before. Use a lot of glue to hold it well then use some 3" wood screws and screw it into the two that are already glued together. I suggest pilot drilling or use self tapping wood screws so the wood doesn't split. Then take your beam and get it up above the rafters. Position it so it is covering your work area and make sure its supported by as many rafters as possible. Then take your strong ties and use them to secure the beam to the rafters. Use one strong tie on each side of the beam AND each side of the rafter. Do this FOR EVERY RAFTER! You need to do this on each rafter so it will displace the weight across like 6-8 rafters. Once its locked down, take the d-rings and using 2" lag bolts, hold the d-ring up where you want it, mark the holes, pilot drill then bolt down the d-rings. I would install a d ring between every rafter except for the last one on each end. You can also use the rafter itself now, so if you just wanted to drill holes and lag bolt that piece of steel you used in this video, you could do that. The rafters being tied into the beam with the strong ties make it so if you pull down on one rafter, The other rafters will take up some of the weight just like if that was a hidden beam inside a house. Sometimes instead of doing an exposed beam in a home, they stick the beam above the rafters instead of under. Anyway, great work and maybe I'll see ya at the gambler!

Double the ceiling 2x4s with 2x6s and carry the load to the walls. Then you will be ready to lift the inevitable LS!

Awesome man, can't wait to see it working.

THAT ENDING!!!!! lmfao that was awesome. I just wish we knew how fast that tire was spinning. My guess, 65mph.

this is coming along very nicely well done and its not even close to being done yet and its looking awesome. i have an idea for a shifter for the trans, in that open section in between the two floor pans make a raised up piece like a square-ish transmission tunnel and make a shifter like a sequential trans' shifter.

My second time watching the series. I forgot how funny the ending was! If you use a one way bearing and make an adapter or coupler you could go full speed safely with the drill. Hint; They use them in pull starters and clutches...

off-road vehicles do not need a differential a lot of power is wasted through diffs that's why some cars have limited slip diffs great build loving it

Dude your awesome, its amazing what you do by yourself. Imagine what you could do when you get a shop? 👍

Looking at your excellent work,from Argentina

Just Incredible!!! I would pay like 4000 dollar for that thing its like expertly welded and crafted and it looks Beautiful!!!

When i watch your video i take popcorn because i realy like what you do

Man when your stood next to the buggy it looks huge

This is amazing man!!

The end was awesome..that thing needs a 8 or 10 inch lift with 37's or 40's

That was COOL!! Nice tire balancing testing, LOL.

Can't wait to see it running

looks lke your gonna need a bigger shed soon bud. keep up the good work and thanks for the inspiration

This channel deserves more subs

Been waiting for this 😂

Dude looking wicked

Can't wait to see this thing go

Thank u for making this video 20 minutes

Laughed so hard at the end lol good job man

Great video loved it!!!

Was watching at the end thinking that's a good way to break your wrist and close . LOL

I think the front brake calipers will hit the wheel when you put brake pads in it. Making good progress though! Thank you for sharing. 👍😁

Nice work dude.

Ending was awesome. I’ve done similar things!!!

The trusses in your ceiling aren't meant to be stressed like that, be careful using them for lifting stuff. Nice job on the buggy.

I love how all the videos start 😂 "TODAY"

Im french and i like your video, even if i don't understand some explications 👌

Saludos desde Monterrey México muy buenos tus proyectos

Can wait see the test drive.

Good job bud keep up the good work

Totally thought you were gonna eat that drill!!!. Pull out under load, don't let off your trigger finger.

13:40 well it will either ware in or ware out! Nothing a little grinding can't handle.

Great build friend

This build is so damn impressive i am speechless. Can you send you playlist? Love the music!

Seriously mad skills ! Hooking up with grind hard would be cool.

That’s really nice 👍

Omg the end of the vid! Lol love the channel

Nice work ✌👍

What a beast of a machine.

😂 nice blooper at the end, can't wait to hear it start

Hahaha i loved the little bloopers at the end

I love this projekt

Good luck with that chain tensioner !

definitely hopefully haha. Good job either way!!!

Awesome video!

PARABÉNS.....MUITO BOM....ÓTIMO TRABALHO.....PARABÉNS AQUI DO BRASIL......

Amazing skill

Hundred 💯 tumb up and I love this video

The part where he said if you see the roof bend let me know was like the first funny thing he’s ever said to me BAHA

Spinning the tire was Awesome

I think because off the way you engineerd the rear links that the spindles are going to rotate when you rear brake or floor it.i can be wrong..keep up the work.i like it

looking good nice fix on the front hubs the axles might hold up i would because you did what they do in the industry but i would have gone a different route of research size of axle to you would have had to cut the shaft that mostly heat treated

Man u r just like me just got to try it and see if it works hahaha love the videos u do and hell of a hard worker keep up the awesome job man
