Ike nailed it. This can be a sand rail and a pavement dragster all in one. I'd really love to see times compared for each. Please let that be the reality of what happens.

A 1-piece hoop behind the seat,and the wedges down beside it need to connect to a hoop in front of the steering wheel for a 'safety cage',along with a U,or X over the seat to the bar in front.With the speeds you'll get on pavement,I think tracks will require such at minimum.Great start guys!

I love the direction you are going. I built a sand rail from scratch usind a CBR 1000rr back in 2009. I rode it until 2021 and sold it to get a turbo razor. It was a very fun project and it was very strong and fast. I miss it but love my razor. Can't wait until you finish this project and i get to see it on the sand ripping.

Loving this idea guys. I think this thing is going to absolutely fly. Coming from a welder/fabricator for over 22 years, this is just an idea, but it's kind of looking like it's time to do a spring cleaning of the new shop. Seems like you guys are struggling for room in there with all the different projects you got going on. Lol From a fabricators perspective, projects seem to go sooooooooo much smoother when you have room to work and things are easily locatable. Just some food for thought as an outsider looking in. Keep up the great work guys. Excited to see where this thing goes. ;-) 👍👍👍

Love watching you guy, won’t stop. Love my ornament, stickers, and hat. But I’d love to see you guys stretch your wings, get out of your comfort level like you tried with the TrophyKart, and reach for the stars with this one. Think 12” travel sand rail that could destroy the dunes or at least Busco Beach. You can drop it, keeping caster straight through the travel, swap shocks with strut bars, and try it on asphalt. Shorter wheelbase boys. I say this cause you want to grow and this is how. And us, your audience, wants to see this on the channel more often than other “Terrain specific” projects. Love it and still watching.

I bought a really cool Golf Cart steering wheel for my go kart and the 3 bolt to 6 adapter to mount it and it is one of the BEST mods ever. $27, + $10 for the adapter,.. found it on AMZN. Much thicker, more comfortable, and better looking than that thin 3 bolt, and only 1" larger in diameter, 1/2" more leverage helps too, and slows down the action just a fraction, again making it more comfortable. Got the flat bottom style. Very cool.

Please read John Charles and Ike !!!! Great start to this build, please note with that heavy engine bouncing on dirt will bend or even break the chassis. It would be a really good idea to incorporate a 4 wheeler suspension on the front and something more pressure relieving on the back so that it will glide over the dirt better. Just a suggestion but I think it will greatly help you accomplish your goals with this build. Build on !!!!!
@GPMsEVproject
@GPMsEVproject Год назад
Once again I love the build, and I love the idea of a drag/sandrail, the 955 triple should be a great engine as its reasonably torquey for a motorcycle engine, the only thing I would say is please move to Chromoly tube rather than mild steel, it has some spring to it, that's why all modern dragster chassis are built from it as are most NHRA certified cages.
@zrxdoug
@zrxdoug Год назад
CM is LIGHTER than mild steel because a thinner wall is allowed for the same diameter. Only reason it's used. Our boys are MIG welders, CM doesn't like that kind of heat. MIG welded CM will likely produce a weaker weld, and isn't allowed by any sanctioning body, regardless. Mild steel is gonna be probably fifteen/thirty pounds heavier in a chassis this size, but their welds will be both safe and legal. That said, the tubing diameter and thickness they've chosen for the upper/lower rails are both too small for any sanctioning body's rules..
@GPMsEVproject
@GPMsEVproject Год назад
@@zrxdoug very good point, I had not thought about CrMo requiring TIG process, and certainly lightness and the ability to use a thinner wall tube play a major part in the choice, however, I will hold to my point regarding the spring provided in a drag rail chassis, Type 4130 steel has a modulus of elasticity of 205 GPa (29700 ksi), which is higher than some high strength spring steels such a 9260 steel. This means that 4130 steel does not easily bend and can withstand large stresses and still return to its original form. A good alternative might be Docol R8 tube, it has a similar strength and weight as 4130 and a similar modulus of elasticity, it also has a much smaller HAZ (heat affected zone) meaning it can be TIG welded reliably, It can also be welded to other steel grades easily which could save on cost if you simply used it for the top and bottom rails which require spring.
@zrxdoug
@zrxdoug Год назад
@@GPMsEVproject In these lengths and at this weight, I'd expect any material to be pretty rigid...unless maybe they incorporate slipper tubes into the upper rails. Seems unlikely.. 😁

On a future project, I'd like to see a roll cage built around the seat like a capsule which is on adjustable rails (like the rails under a car seat). You would never have to worry about fitting different sized drivers in it. The seat and personal protective cage would all be adjustable with the steering wheel and controls stationary.

Bring to top bars down enough to bend into a U shape and that sit a few inches above the header.

You could make a 2 or 3 part video on getting the cart back together. Put a Predator 420 on it. Pull EVERYTHING off the frame itself, go over the whole thing's joints with a welder to get fresh welds on it all. then start adding stuff back on once you put the engine in the back and get it in place. Could probably shorten down the top part of the cage several inches, and move the rear axle all the way to the back for better wheel spacing and stability.

@peterland7388
@peterland7388 Год назад
One thought. Keep all the crossbar tubes one length. This will simplify your build and still look good. It also gives your front axle a slightly wider base and the very small increase in weight is not a problem...in fact, just the opposite.
