@DeviouS I just said this cause I see grind hard build barbie car then the jeep then motomule does the Porsche now grind hard are doing the Camaro then ratherbwelding here is doing one ..... I dont mean grind hard was the first to do it but I'm sure there behind the new influence of these builds
On 2wd combines they'll turn the rear tires backwards so they steer and track straighter through mud. Maybe that'll help the fronts until he finds a donor drivetrain on the side of the road. :)
You don't need 4x4 with a ninja engine, lightweight and aggressive rear tyres is what's needed, it will rip through every thing with pure wheel speed, id like to see a 4x4 build on something with more low rpm torque oriented engine and a larger frame, although I am doubting this thing will be stable enough to rip hard and not flip without ballast up front so maybe 4x4 would be an advantage although a complication
Sell them for a decent profit to help you make more and to help pay for the shop and land you are wanting to get. Plenty of us would be interested in buying parts.
(in machining if you can not find it make it.) a tip for you if your going to make things of that nature on a repetitive basis make some templates for future use. price i would get quotes from 3 different machinist shops. then decide what you can build them for.
Bro I wanna commend you I’ve been watching since you stared your channel and your fab skills have came along way !! Your doing good and I enjoy watching! I’m glad u finally started making what makes u happy! Keep em coming!
Just looking at him lifting the rear axle, it is gonna end up underpowered. A ninja 650 is a 400lbs bike and not a powerful one either. This thing will most likely weight over 500lbs when its done knowing how he usually overbuild everything
You said that some may find the machining process a bit boring but some of us like it. You then compromised and show shortened version. Bravo!! Your channel is awesome but still becoming better. Keep up the good work Chris.
I would post on eBay/social media and get orders before hand so if nobody buys them your not out the material for making them. Can say it'll take a few days to make per order etc
He definitely seems like it. I happen to be one myself. Ive tried to explain it to people before, but didnt feel like they fully understood what I meant.
Trying to explain you & GHP, RBW, to normal folk is tricky because you start describing what you guys are doing and they keep asking why you going to let a 5 yr. old drive a 650 Ninja anything anyway anyhow. 😆
You make everything else why don't you just make yourself a geared camera track? would not be difficult simple geared DC motor say 34 to 1 or 68 to 1 ratio Running all thread camera mounted to a table welded to Nuts! simple polarity switch at the end of travel would reverse it poof easy camera slide and if you use a stepper motor and controller it could be nearly infinite speed well slower or faster than anything you could possibly want or need.
Would you sell those parts as a whole seller or retailer? The average mark up is 20% over the cost that you use to make them. Material, Electric, Gas, ex..... You would have to figure out the math on that. You should be able to sell them cheaper then a retailer because there's no middle man. Thanks for the Videos. Awesome job!!
@ 7:50 I'd say make like 3 sets and put them on eBay in the wild as a test, not to say that people from your comments section won't buy them just can't be sure of it.
Selling anything like that can be tough. As the time it takes to make. The faster you can get them out the better profit you will have as your time is worth money. It all comes down to the market you are trying to go after. Keep that in mind for cost of part.
If he doesn't got a business already, I wouldn't think about that at the moment that much, only calculate materials, usage of tools and energy, time for making, development costs divided by a certain ammount of expected sells and use this as selling price, until he makes enough to found a company, just that he doesn't get any problems with taxes, insurance, warranty and things like that before and from that expirience he will be able to know if a business is worth it or better keep it on the level of hobbyist sells some things to other hobbyists sometimes.
I would stretch it to 15 in that give you a little more room in the cockpit and give you more space to build so everything's not so jamn close together but love tha videos man
FWIW, it looks like Moto may be really into the win- he's already laid on extra helpers in the shop- and they look like some rad fitter dudes- and one of them is the size of Mario- I kid you not- and he may be the prime driver! This is going to be epic!
Hay ! don't forget to oil the bearings in the headstock of your lathe !....fantastic build by the way ! you need a cover for the headstock to keep the dust and chips out of there ! Bob......
You should really consider putting a spacer between the bearings that keep you from tightening the front spindle nuts and burning up the bearings - Like all Motorcycle wheels have in them
Chris... ever think about using a small transmission on your homemade lathe to add quick speed changes? I have a Peerless 700 on one of my old South Bend lathes that used to be a pulley style speed change type. It works great and now I even have Reverse without wiring the power switch for forward/reverse because the gearbox has it already. 5 forward speeds and reverse. Its great that you get so much use out of your machine!
I THINK IT WOULD HAVE BEEN SUPER AWESOME IF YOU'D USE REAR TIRES AS ALL FOUR. FOR THAT WIDE LOOK LIKE A REAL MONSTER TRUCK. HOWEVER STILL SUPER COOL LOOKING. GRAVE NINJA 650
An actual sedan delivery is pretty long. Don't forget that that thing is miniaturized and nowhere near close to scale. With it stretched almost to the limits of your little sawhorse frame rails is actually more accurate looking.
I think you should call it the grave danger instead of the grave Ninja.... Grave Danger 650 .... Because let's face it that thing is going to be dangerous ....
Gear reduction, man...... pull that video gadget apart, source some plasic gears and make yourself a quick change gearbox. 10:1 ratio would be good for a start.
Really good video, it flows nicely. Honestly I think Grave Ninja is the best name. It pays homage to both aspects of the build. What it's based on and what powers it. Youre doing a stellar job with the videos. Just as easy to consume as the Grind Hard guys, which I like a lot. Keep it up. Awesome.
Rather b. How much would you charge to build me the unit? I'm working on building a vw bug powered by a honda cbr 1000f engine. Money is being saved to find a shop then Sathe to build other units, Hit me back when your free
The GHP guys have already committed themselves to a sterring WHEEL for their Mario Kart- there is very little foot room for pedals. You look to have the same problem- use a short M/C handle bar and hand controls for throttle and brakes- with aux brakes on a long lever on the side.
If there's a market for the hubs and obviously it is since can't get them anywhere, I would definitely look into selling them maybe even make a few of you transmissions that you build, most young people that mess with gocarts and such don't have the skills or equipment to make a quality product like you. Great job.
I know there's a whole slew of people out in Nevada, Utah, New Mexico, that would buy all sorts of ready-made parts to build buggies and sand rails, etc.
I don't think it looks bad being longer and more comfortable personally! I'm gonna build one for my son using a Kid Trax Ram 3500 to pull his trailer I made for him!
You could probably modify the camera rig to go slower. All you need to do is change some gearing around. Or build a small gear box for it with nylon gears. And, also, why don't you just set it up to go back and forth during that time? It doesn't have to be one long slow movement from one side to the other. It could move several times through that motion in one time lapse scene.
I saw a video where a guy made a lathe from scrap hardware,and he used digital calipers on the cross slide. I think that would help quite a bit on your lathe. I'm not sure what the RU-vid channel was, but it was pretty cool.
If your camera will shoot single frames, you can do a time lapse video of up to 22 minutes. The control for the slider will trigger the shutter on your camera. Also it can be set to travel back and forth continuously in video mode.
But you can mount a gimbal to it or make one make a bracket you are a blacksmith you are mechanically inclined make it work take someone else’s idea and make it better there is no room for placement in displacement in other words don’t be discouraged the world is yours I need your PO Box and some information to send you a set of rims that I need brakes made for I know you can make them I’ve seen your work keep doing what you’re doing 🗣let’s go 🏁
i think if you start making them to sell you will likely need to upgrade youre lathe for a bigger one (so you can square the faces after welding) and buy a welding manipulator (makes a nicer weld if you weld round stuff ) it might be a good way to make money , might work better if you have a plug and play upgrade kit for an existing kart or atv people building their own stuff are more likely to make the other stuff for the wheels too
How about an own website where people can order custom things from you for a fair price when you use their ideas for your own builds to show everyone? If you don't have something like that already.
why don't you design your own worm drive slow rotation motor to attach to the end of your camera gimbal rig to make it move at the speed you wish. You're a freaking engineer and you act like you can't solve that problem, shame on you sir lol
C'mon man you can slow it down. Either voltage or current through use of capacitors or rectifier or resistors. You got this man. Is it battery powered if so its gonna be easy peasy
Also with all the filming you do you could have these builds done in a couple weeks and few parts instead of it being like part 46 finally done know what I mean, cars and cameras are really bad for it to
