ya blue thanks , Ive seen your videos to . the last one I saw was the one that showed the engine fell out of you bike while you were driving.

lmao!!!

i gotta find that!!

as for cheap screw drivers for somethign like this where the are likely to get wrecked.. stop by your local pawn shop...

I knw when i lived inthe city, there were some you could get screw drivers for like 25 cents to 1.25

they werent the greatest but fr prying, they would been just great and dandy...

and i like how you tried the pickle fork in the vid..haha..

I commented onthe vid itself (Lynium)

I know on alot of quad and small engine tires/rims, one side will be slightly smaller diameter than the others, and you want to peel the tire off from that side..

its funny, as i workat a fountain tire.. but mechanics side.. i realized watching your vid how very little i know about changing tires.. lol.. we have tire techs for that, an one of em coulda changed it in about 5 mins flat.. me, i would been worse off than you!! haha.. (I have worm arms.. never mind garden snake or otherwise!!!)

im sure you would know about em in your area, but look around for like an atv/snowmobile wreckers.. if you can get a worthwhile engine, the rest of the parts you need should be dirt cheap and semi-easy to get ahold of..

i could maybe find sum parts that I would gladly donate, but i think shipping to the states would be retarded..

I ordered a fuel pump. guy wanted 15$ for it.. it ended up costing m 70$ to get it here, and then there was an additional 40$ charge (somethign to do with the border tax/fee/whatever..)
stupid thing was i had to pay by check or credit card.. i had the money, but hadnt seen my checks in like 3 yrs, and never have i ever had a credit card!! last i knew it was floating around down south again.. 70$ later and i never did get it.. although at least i got to hold the box for a few seconds when it first arrived.. ugh..

you have a tonne of videos!!!

I been slowly getting through them all over the last couple days.. hehe.. nice job with the kids.. i think you have more patience than me.. mine are 6, 1.5 and 1mnth.. lol.. but the 2 oldest are hardcore into anything that goes VROOOM!

T-man, you should build a Bead Breaker:

 

[T-man]

Ooo I have thought about it. I think my main prob was trying to get the sides of the tire over the rim.. even after I used soap.

 

[r97]

i think metal thrashing man broke one of his beads by driving over the tire with his car. then to put the new tire on, you could do it the labor intensive slow way, or the fun way!

Big rope, wrap it around the tire, use BIG phillips screwdrivers to tighten the rope by slipping them in and twisting them to apply central pressure, the rest of just a bit of magic.

 

[B man]

now make a mini bike to pop out the front. lol

 

[T-man]

blaz: I have heard of the same thing but to use a tiedown strap. I went around looking for mine but I realised that all mine are frozen to the ground.
B man I have thought of doing the bat pod but I dont like the center of gravity that the bike has, it can be easyly tiped over. In some pictures of the bike you can see that it has to be driven on the sides of the tires. Those big fat tires are the only things that keep it up .... the pod is a very poorly designed machine. (shhhh you didn't hear that from me) That is another reason that you dont see any videos on YT that show the pod being driven, its a pain, and most likely would be spilled by the driver. There is only one guy that has driven the Bat Pod and thats the stunt guy from the movie.

 

[Lynx_Genisys]

I didnt know what you guys were talking about, so I googled images of the bat pod..

those tires are the same used on the sprint car.. haha

that would be kewl to replicate tho.. prolly minus the guns.. or maybe use paintball guns and keep em

(I know a few guys around here have things with paintball guns etc mounted to em and go out and play mobile war or some such.. lol)

Look at the first post in this thread.

 

[jrmints1415]

first i just wanna say how much i love ur videos and karts! to give you some advice on your website, i think there is to much going on and you should just keep it more simple (kinda like this website). it might not look as cool but it keeps the viewers on your website and the first feeling i got when i was on your web site was WHOA! I think it would be great if you had a forum too not only is a cleaner look more organized i learn more and want to explore the web site because of easy use. Go for simple rather then looks!

 

[Lynx_Genisys]

Look at the first post in this thread.

you mean the bat mobile car/kart.. ?? yess..

and..??

maybe you should google the "bat pod"

Bat pod

 

[T-man]

Hey jr that is some good insite , I have been thinking of spreading things down the page a little more. Not removing anything just seperat things length wise.

 

[T-man]

done.

 

[T-man]

WOW ..... Now this has got to be the best edited buggie video I have ever seen.

This is AWESOME I am totally going to studdy this one.

T-Man I seen your carb cleaning vid. Boil that carb in lemon juice. it will clean it good and open the fuel passage. Check this link. It even shows the diaphram style carbs.

Lemon Juice is the best I have ever used. Trust me on this one.

http://cycles.evanfell.com/2008/09/how-to-clean-a-motorcycle-carburetor-the-right-way/

•Boiling in Lemon Juice – There is NOTHING BETTER at cleaning carbs than a giant pot of boiling lemon juice. The acidity from the lemons eats through everything; gas varnish, oil build up, dirt, grime, etc. Sometimes I won’t even bother doing anything but this – I’ll just remove the bowls, remove the caps, then drop everything into the pot and let it sit for 20 minutes (rotate them a few times). The one caveat to doing this is that you’ll want to wash the lemon juice off the carbs as soon as you pull them out. So have a bucket of water ready, or a can of WD-40 to hose them down. Also note that the acidity has a tendency to put a dull finish on the aluminum bodies of the carbs. This isn’t a problem in most cases, but if you must have everything shiny be prepared to do a little scrubbing and polishing afterwards. It may sound weird, but trust me, I just saved you LOTS of time. (Most dollar stores sell 1/2 gallon jugs of lemon juice, so buying a few gallons will only cost you $6. Plus you can put it back into the bottles afterwards and save it for next time.)

 

[T-man]

Lemon Juice !! now that is a new one to me. That is a great article too. thanks.
looks like a lot of others liked it also , responces at the bottom.

 

[redsox985]

What a video!

 

[r97]

on the video:
1. why cant i live somewhere where i can ride stuff like that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
2. sick buggy, i second redsox, :drool:

you probably realized these a longggggg time ago, but what the heck,
3. good music ALWAYS makes a vid better in my opinion, sometimes i will watch a you tube vid just because i like the music! (in fact thats what i'm doing right now!)
4. you need a bunch of guys on swivel chairs atop 2ft platforms to hurl rocks at, and maybe do some filming.

haha.. htas been one of my fav vids for along while..

my 1.5yr old LOVES music, and anytime it comes on TV or otherwise, even comercials, he starts dancing around etc.. he actualy has a couple different styles of dances..

but for this one i used to kinda try to get him into the beat, get a bit more sense of rythym.. at an rate he claps along with the song.. lol..

of course i also listen to everything through the surround sound etc

and then when hes sittin on me lap he loves the vid too.. hehe

He loves anythign with wheels, tracks, or engines and moakes noise and propels ppl..

hehe

his 1st b-day was a camping/quading affair, and he would climb onto the machines and try to make em go.. scary part is, he was actualy working the throttles.. he knew what made em go.. lol..

*Warning.. never leave keys in machines and unattended with small children around, even those that can barely walk. you dont need to know how to walk to drive!*

 

[T-man]

r97 ... I know what your saying, I would LOVE to live in an area where I could just open up with viciousness.

Lynx , thats what my kids do also ANY TIME they hear music comming from the computer, vrooom boooing. their standing next to me.
