Very cool stuff.

@HandyDan Месяц назад

Thank you, it's a really fun car to drive.

@digitalpastorjim 2 года назад

Wow, amazing, some minor adjustments and you have it done!! 👍

@HandyDan 2 года назад

As I mentioned in the end of the drive, the chain has gotten quieter on its own, maybe it needed to settle something in?

@danregnier9855 2 года назад

What you have done is really incredible. Can’t wait to see the next video!

Awesome job Dan! You got your gadget smart together quicker than I was initially expecting. A few adjustments and you’ll be driving all over to all the car meets now. 😎

@HandyDan 2 года назад

Thank you, I have yet to hit full throttle and I barely tasted it, functional it works exactly as designed, I just didn't know exactly how to dial in the pedal balance.

Thanks for watching and I appreciate the compliment 😊, this has been a long running project and I am close to being finished 🙂

Fantastic, Handy Dan! Iam so glad it went smoothly with only minor adjustments! Can't wait for the hood & scoop fitment! Thanks, so much!

@HandyDan 2 года назад

I'm so happy it went as designed ☺️, so many unknowns in this one off design!

@ionfarmer 2 года назад

@@HandyDan I was thinking about that narrow seating, the center console, and how the gear shifter can be bumped into N. Are you concerned that you may need an interlock when burning gas?

@HandyDan 2 года назад

@@ionfarmer I never have bumped the shift, and I will never run only on gas. I will 99% still drive it only electric drive and 1% dual power when I get low on EV battery.

@HandyDan 2 года назад

I'm still afraid to go FULL SEND

@derekyoung4402 2 года назад

And just like that, you're driving it! Amazing work Dan. You had to solve so many little problems and design so much stuff to get to this point. Well done! The sprag makes it sound completely different than my car -- when you let off the throttle, the bike engine drops back down to idle, correct? I worry a bit about the shock load of getting back on the throttle hard and the bike engine spinning back up suddenly loading tension in the chain, but I don't know if it'll be an issue for you.

@HandyDan 2 года назад

I have to remember that I designed it for extra range 😀, it's not a race car. But I was surprised that the sprag held up to 3/4 throttle, I'm still hesitant about FULL SEND

@jaydengarcia389 2 года назад

Great job I have watched the whole process and it came out great👏 ! I saw you also have a saturn sky. I have both a smart car and a pontiac solstice as well!

@HandyDan 2 года назад

Right on, twin cars! Ha ha, thank you for watching and for the compliment 😄

@webslinger67 2 года назад

I would suggest swapping to belt drive ....will be smoother and not so noisy.

@HandyDan 2 года назад

Do you think a belt would hold up?

@webslinger67 2 года назад

@@HandyDan I would look at a system like for a Harley or even a side-by-side ....I don't see why not. We've put some pretty heavy horsepower through the Harleys built at a couple motorcycle shops I've worked at .

@HandyDan 2 года назад

@@webslinger67 Thank you, but one reason I went with chain is the length, I'll never find a belt drive short enough

@webslinger67 2 года назад

@@HandyDan that's why I mentioned side by side they have short belt systems .

@johnnypartain3461 2 года назад

I like the little things you've done, such as the side exhausts, but there sure are a lot of compromises in the drivetrain, suspension, and your safety (smart car air bags) that are hard to swallow (for me). Thanks for the entertainment though.

@HandyDan 2 года назад

I'm 55 and most of my life I drove older cars, they didn't have air bags, crumble zones or abs sensors and billions of people survived.

@@HandyDan they weren't riding a GSXR swapped smart, tho 😂

@SJ_999 10 месяцев назад

It sounds like the clutch is slipping and the chain is too loose it’ll round out your teeth. You’re supposed to have a way too tighten the chain like a motorcycle moving the rear wheel back but I think it’s too late now to implement a design like that into your build

@HandyDan 10 месяцев назад

I have a way to adjust the chain, the differential mount has adjustable slots. This is a very old used chain and sprockets I used for the prototype
