Honda XL500s Mini Buggy Build || Part 1

Oh boy, here we go. Rolling out of the garage next is a home-built mini off road dune buggy, powered by a 1981 Honda XL500s engine. This project is another collaboration with Lincoln from Flaming Rayz, who is also building an off road dune buggy as per the rules we've made.

Specifications of what happened in this video:
I started construction of the bottom part of the frame using scrap 1" mild steel pipe, and used amazon pillow blocks and an old go kart axle as the rear swingarm pivot point. The rear axle was constructed using a @ 1" go kart axle, 44" in length. I then used a scrap go kart sprocket and ground the teeth off of it to use as a brake disk. I also used my school's waterjet cutter to cut out a sprocket hub out of 3/16" mild steel.

Links to all the parts I used:

44" axle:

Wheel hubs:

The little hub thing I welded the sprocket hub onto that goes onto a 1" shaft:

Pillow block bearings:

Filmed on the Panasonic Lumix FZ1000 with the Feiyutech AK2000s gimbal and the Takstar SGC-598 mic and edited in Apple Final Cut Pro

Man that's cool! Glad to see you're making videos again! I missed them! You sure are really putting my little scooter project to shame lol! Making me want to do a build video at some point! I say to hell with the Honda engine, just throw that Briggs model 23 on it! 😂 Looking forward to seeing this thing get completed!

Man if I had access to all those tools I could probably build a hulk buster suit.

When you where adding the extensions you should of put smaller tubing in it to give it some strength

[Patagonia-lhbw]

Hola amigo, me podrías dar la medida de los tubos y su espesor, es muy lindo, no se ingles pero lo traduzco, muchas gracias

[adenamsekian]

Although u are still young, you have talent to work as a professional.

[joseracing]

Hola si tengo dudas como te puedo contactar?

[iancaseley]

Why did you fit such a large rear sprocket? The tyre circumference would be about the same as the original bike I guess, so a same size sprocket would be a good start. The oversized one will give you more torque but loose top speed. Depends if hill climbing is your thing

[edgarperaltamamani]

Uff cuando tienes todas las piezas lo armas en un cerrar de ojos yo apenas encontré las llantas para vender y cuesta caro en mi país pero ya va alzándose cada ves más mi proyecto

[celulara]

Could you pass the chassis measurements?

[jonnathanvaron]

[curtislawson]
