I actually had an idea to do that to a 4 wheeler a long time ago. Stretch the chassis and move the engine and trans to one side. I should really try it someday!

You will need to add slip joints to the drive shafts they were intended for the differentials to be fixed, now your differentials will be moving up and down causing the length of the drive shafts to vary.

I imagine scraping the cvt would be the best, fair enough it would be easier and more user friendly with it, but cvt's drain A LOT of the power from the engine. Also with a 650 v-twin the factory clutch and engine should make it fairly easy to get going, and with a low series as well it should be no issue. I think the cvt will cause more headaches than pleasantries

I don't think the CVT system belongs, but you are wrong about it robbing power and torque. one has to look no farther than snowmobiles to see that.

CVT engagement when being driven off of the gearbox may only work properly in a couple of the gears… depending on what RPM it’s setup to engage/disengage.

@@fitzfarm8694 i think you may be the only one who has properly thought this out. Its really going to be tricky.

This has to be the coolest build on KZread right now. Can't wait to see the smile on your face when you take it for the first spin! You could always add rear-wheel steering later on down the road. You're always modifying your builds anyway. Just leave room for that just in case you decide to eventually have it planned ahead.

Your Millwork is top notch. You always come up with solutions to make you parts, especially the spacer holder you made. Keep the awesome builds.

here is a thought for you, you can offset the engine and transmission to the right like a lot of full sized special built rock bouncers. making room for you to sit next to the engine transmission, lowering your overall height and center of gravity and giving more room for suspension travel.

I love watching your building motors 🥰🥰

I've seen mini rock buggies use the engine and transmission from front wheel drive cars. Everything from the little v-tec 4 bangers up to Pontiac grand prix GTPs with the factory Eaton supercharged 3.8Ls. Some where auto and some where manuals but they would sitt the engine and transmission in the custom 4x4 chassis so that one sides CV axle would act as a drive shaft for the front differential and the other sides CV axle would run to the rear axle. They would reuse any parts they could like the disc brakes and other parts. Not to mention if they picked the right engine and transmission combo they would have alot of aftermarket performance options to choose from. They made for some very interesting and rather potent buggies. Light weight mini buggy with a strong FWD car's drive train made for very few pounds per horse power to move. The power the weight ratio was everything for those mini buggies. Basically the same weight as a side by side when it came to the chassis but youd have the HP and low end TQ of a cars engine. The GTP supercharged 3.8L wasn't a slouch in a 3600+lb sedan. Just think of what it would do in a 2000lb or so 4x4 mini buggy chassis.

I just started watching your videos and man your good. I'm a retired machinist and really enjoy what you do. Thanks for making this videos.

This thing is already looking so good

Those front lower ball joints i make them by the thousand at my job lol i grind the housings to spec and then we fill them up with carbon fiber mixed nylon and we injected it in through the little hole in the housing it’s self. They are usually for Polaris sometimes artic cat Edit: i didn’t realized they said Polaris right in the cast lmao 😂 well now I’m 100% sure that i make them lol

Right there. Making a tool to hold the bushings on to trim them. I mentioned it before. That kid has what others take years to learn.

Love the vids mate been watching for years just gets better and better every time this project is nuts

Amazing work!!

I really enjoy your projects. I have to say you can't truly be surprised that it took over a week to get parts, particularly given the state of things at the moment.

I love how most the measurements are bricks and blocks of wood. Keep the video’s coming brother such good content!

Love your builds always quality and well thought out.

Pro tip for you here, On Polaris McPherson struts the lower ball joint can be easily removed by using a grease gun you remove the three screws that hold the plate that holds the ball joint on and then you pump grease into the grease fitting and the hydraulic pressure pushes the ball joint right out!!!

You're doing an awesome job! Keep up the great work Chris!

If you ever need more heat than what a propane torch gets you, buy MAPP (yellow bottles). Not as hot as acetylene, but its hotter than propane. Just about most places that has those blue propane bottles, will have the yellow MAPP gas bottles.

Great job showing and telling, looking good keep on building. going to look great, so well see ya next time see ya bye.

11'' of ground clearance under the axle is very good for a solid axle. You can offset the whole drivetrain to one side to lower the center of gravity. Using extensible driveshafts you don't have to have a straight line to the diffs, they can be offset a little and it won't hurt your angles too much. But if you don't want a grave digger 454 type of rig you have to offset you and your drivetrain. Good work so far

Had an 07 Sv650s, I put 140k miles on it without anything more than regular wear items, oil, filter, chain, sprockets, pads and tires. It was a flawless bike after upgrading the suspension to some TLR forks and a 636 rear shock. I think it had tighter gearing than the XR650l I traded it in for, if you just gear it down and add a F-W-R box it'll be fine for crawling. It's got plenty of grunt.

Love this shaft driven design that's what I will build

Awesome Build .

This definitely looks like it's going to be one of the most fun projects you've made. I do have two points to touch on though. One, I feel like you're going to want better clearance in the rear, I think it's going to get hung up frequently, and that shouldn't be difficult considering the CV axles. Two, I think it would be better served with a Rekluse clutch rather than the cvt. Cool as that sounds, I'm confident you're going to run into engagement issues with the lower gears. As always though, I love what you're doing 🤘🤘 Edit: looks like my comment on the ground clearance issue was premature 😂🤦‍♂️

Great idea the Sv motor is great torch

This ones gonna be epic.

Nice!

long awaited video

I've found that on things like this-- it's sometimes best to actually build little sub-frames--- so that when you want to drop something like the transfer case, and there's really no room--- then you make a small chunk of the frame drop out with it.

Chris, you can also do rear wheel steer using an electric motor with a 3 position switch. That's how we used to do it back in the day. And we'd use huge motors for it. This wouldn't require a very large electric motor, but you are correct...... It's not exactly a simple nor easy thing to accomplish.

cant wait to see where you go with the seat location id imagine closer to the transfer case to keep center of gravity in check.

Inspirational! Now I'm in trouble, I want to convert my CJ5 to 4-link...

Love this project.
