- I purchased a chassis from The Garage Vlog a few months ago and it finally arrived. Now it's time to see if I can get this build completed! My goal is to have this ride ready to haul my RC's around at this years Proline By The Fire!

Note the lack of storage space in the back of the Gladiator.
And the trike
I was looking more at how the trike has a better looking wheel and tire package then the gladiator
Should have bought a truck!
I easily hauled a couple 4x8 sheets of plywood in my wife’s minivan the other day with the hatch completely shut. Can you do that in a gladiator?
Looks awesome! You should build a mini trailer to haul the rc’s
i didn't know i needed a mini trike. that thing is waaaaay cool
Build a small trailer for the trucks
A matching wheel, RC trailer would look so crazy!
I’m really just worried about having to haul another big piece around.
That's just too cool Josh!! Thanks for the build vid.
SICK! I love it. Maybe incorporate a back rest into the RC caddy?(gives you room to stack two without them smacking you in the back) Cannot wait to see this RIP!
Great videos of the trike, I appreciate you putting them together, considering buying one but always like seeing other opinions and not just a company promoting their own build. Waiting for part 3.
That is one sweet unit! Can’t wait to see it finished!!
Love it! Can't wait to see it finished.
Trailer, handle bar/ front fender mount, rear fender mounts, rear rack... All great rc mounting/carrying ideas!
I think I would weld up a basket off of the back for those RC Racers like you typically see on a FWD
You’ve really stepped up your scale interior game. Awesome video lol 👍
Gator skin going in everything now!
To transport trucks, what about having them sitting vertically-ish - on their back wheels? There looks to be enough space to have two side by side.
Ya know, this could be a radio control with a few modifications... That would be a cool series...
Add a rack to the front fork like on a touring bicycle gives you a place for the transmitters or a 3rd rig
That’s what she said at 10:03 lol great build can’t wait to see more
If you haven't made a decision yet on the truck rack for the back, may I make a suggestion? A simple bar straight up the center, then mount a double hook on each side, the sort of rubber coated ones made to hang shovels or rakes on a wall. then simply hang a truck on each side by the axle. Then mount a plastic pelican style case on the top of the bar over the trucks, motorcycle topbox style to put your radio/batteries in.
That’s a unique idea. Interesting though for sure. I’ll kick it around.
I imagine that thing is going to be ridiculously fast with that motor and the cvt. I've seen guys getting like 35mph from the mini bikes swapping to that trans on a stock engine. 😆
I’ll gear down or limit the throttle if needed! That’s too fast!
Looks so cool. To bad we can't drive those things on the public roads in the Netherlands, I would have considered buying and building one.
Looking good so far.
Looks better than I imagined and looking forward to seeing more videos on this. I would probably go with a trailer. That way you could have a cooler with you too and some better padding for the RCs during transport. You could then go really crazy and add some servos to the trike so you can switch models on your Futaba and drive the trike to where you are. What ever you decide will be entertaining to watch.
I just don’t want to have to haul a trailer with me. The gladiator is short on bed space 😁
Refreshing change of pace great video 💯👍
Run a bolt on rack off the seat pan so you can remove it later for your backpack or rig. Design up a flat aluminum or titanium or carbon fiber belt guard, like custom Harley belt guards, to send off when you send out for the rear rack. A front platform for second rig mounted straight so you could use the rig's lights as your head lights on the front. Use a gopro style mount to connect it to your front risers so you can attach and detach easily. Will also act as front fender incase of dirty conditions. Or make fenders for the rear tires and make those your RC racks too.
Awesome mini build
Need ya a basket on the front with a 'ching-ching' bell. 😁 Can't wait to see you get it running. Those tires are perfect.
Make a tall silly bar 70’s chopper style and mount a basket for the rc rigs
Super cool!
Nice pit ride! Just to make it a little more comfortable, you might consider moving the foot pegs forward to the curve of the frame.
As for carrying RCs I was thinking a large basket with 2 pieces of 7/8" tubing attached to the bottom that could slide into some 1" tubes welded to the rear of the frame.
A basket would be easy I agree, but I am thinking of something more fabricated so it has a cool look. Still undecided.
That’s lookin fantastic n loads n loads fun u only need little plate to mount the springs for seat I’m supriced they didn’t use the sprocket as the brake disc as well all in 1 Carnt wait c it progress m8
It’s like the Oprah show… you get a collar, you get a collar everyone gets a collar.
Looks awesome
Been waiting on this all weekend
LOOKING GREAT SO COOL 🇬🇧🇺🇲🕊️✌🏼🤩👍🏼🤙🏼
My favorite part is that 3 mini trike wheels and tires barely fit in the jeep “bed”
You said it "silly" ha looks like a riot of fun!
I'm thinking a sissy bar like on the back of choppers then rig up something like how you display the tucks in your studio for hauling.
It needs a sissy bar up the back with mounting bars kinda like the shelves in your studio.
Pretty cool Josh!! I'm thinkin 18" ape hangers with a handle bar basket!! hahaha
If these bars don’t work like I want, I’ll do some 14’s maybe 😁
Dude...that Ghost is a BEAST BTW-Cool Seat!!
Looks like a fun toy.
I want one now !! So cool
So badass! 💪🏾😎
Any of those RC’s that are on the side. I clean up beat to death Rc cars and trucks one leg out to the crusher I clean up for you!!! I really like how the trike is coming along it really looks well made they didn’t skimp on material size that’s for sure . At the rate your going you’ll be riding to get coffee by Tuesday. Can’t wait to see more
Send it off to powder coating! Sweet project!
What about a pull behind cart to haul tiny trucks
Now you need a little wagon with some fat tires as well for those rc's 😎😎
Are your neighbors concerned about the amount of time you spend talking to yourself in the garage?
Can’t wait to see the trike ripping around!
Was literally gonnna ask the same thing! I imagined some old lady out walking her dog with her grandkid an her looking over and seeing him just having a full on conversation to him self an her grabbing her grandkids arm like "c'mon little Timmy you needa to stay away from that house that guys crazy!"🤣
That looks cool
Make alittle cart that you can attach and detached needed.
Do you have a parts list of all the accessories that you purchased to put your trike together?
That's gonna be a little ripper!. A good name for it to. Hahaha. Nice dude!. eBay turbo time!!!!! hehe
BMI has a motor plate #600839 which allows you to move engine laterally!
9:50 scary fun is badass 🤘
Les Schwab colab!
That trike is so awesome. Could you make a rack that would catch a front or rear axle and allow the trucks to hang vertically? This way it doesn’t take too much space behind you when you are not toting rigs
Wow love it man
That's gonna look sick in bright orange powder coat 😉.
Pearly white creamsicle!
This thing is sick. How about something saddle bag like for rigs over the rear wheels just an idea
I vote for a front rack for the RC carry setup. Look up bikepacking rigs.
Being harley designs this makes total sense
Little red wagon trailer with matching tires.
Or just a red wagon tub off the wheelie bar, you could mount it with more hiems.
love it
Great, now I NEED a trike!
Hey man really hope you know your gonna have massive interference with the lower frame rail where the secondary pulley opens under speed/power !!I Used to race shifter carts and so did my little brother and he was in the class that ran predators! And theres no way theres enough room for that to open!!!
I’ll look at clocking it upward.
Diggin the pit trike for sure dude! Extend the wheelie-bar & drop a plate with a couple bends (lip) in the open space to haul rigs?
Cool video Josh
Way cool. Where are you going to mount the servos?
Pretty cool dude, looks like just enough to seriously hurt yourself on.
Like when Frank Zappa wrote a symphony and conducted the London Symphony Orchestra. Yeah!
I think you were just supposed to flip the front tire around the other way... To move the offset the other way...
Rear fenders, you could carry 2 rigs and not get hit with rocks dirt or what gets stuck in the tires.
Looking great, Josh! Will it be ready for PLBTF22?
Could mount one rig on the rear and another off the forks. The fork mount could clamp on just above the bottom of the "trees" to make it easily detachable.
Left side / right side sitting on the vehicle. Rider is in the center.
Very impressive! I was into mopeds for a while. Still have a Honda elite & Spree🤦♂️! Lol. My wife makes fun of me for them. But I just can’t sell😁
You could fit 4 on the back easy and side ways, just put them behind the tyres. Make like a double T bracket then the rigs can go on top of the T's
I'd put a big 'ol tractor seat on that sucker! But then again, I'm old, it's all about the butt-comfort...🙂 As far as hauling RC's, Might consider just making a little trailer, or converting one of those Home Depot steel garden carts... then you only have to design a hitch on the trike, just opens up more options, INMHO
I don’t want to haul a second item like a big trailer.
@@HarleyDesignsInc I understand, but it doesn't have to be "big" necessarily, just a little 2 wheel job you can detach easily, doesn't have to "haul" a whole lot, but it might be a little easier than engineering a detachable basket, I dunno. I'm sure whatever you do will look great
Nice 👍🏽
Still in the dancing rider phase I see 😜
Trailer bro, fab up a cool pull behind unit, matching wheels and tires 😎 wrap it with your logo, or alligator skin ha
what size are the tires n wheels where did you get all the parts from
What if you just had a little trailer for it?
Sometimes the front hub would bolt into the other side of the rim to center up the load on the front tire maybe possibly why the offset was wrong
Could totally be!
I'm suprised it didn't come from Vanquish! 😆👍
Is that a 1" steerer? A lot of torque going into that head tube.
The trike addict has found a new low😅...low to the ground that is 😎nicce piece of kit ...but wayy over powered. by the way add some solid mudguards, and that will give you more room for a box for rc equipment and mounting your trucks....Simples🤓
Do you have any links or know where you got the frame from?
Cool little ride!! I have a few 1985 Honda 125m ATC's with Hoosier smoothies they came stock with electric start and 3 speed lots of fun great pit bikes and trash haulers. You got to revisit the FMS FCX24 been doing some awesome mods puts the SCX24 to shame. Matt over at 2FMRC and I have been having fun building them.... Great vid as always😄
Should be fun for sure.
I have two FCX24’s still. Just can’t seem to get into them. Just not a big fan still.
you will
I got mixed feelings on that frame but I'm still thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis jealous of the build. i wants another ruckus methinks 🤘🍻🤘
Make a trailer to match the trike, haul crawlers and tools, etc and you can drop the trailer if you just want to play!
My wife wants to know if you’re building a side-car for your cat to ride with goggles on. I thought “he’s gonna do that for sure”.
I still say the seat needs a fox shock or two instead of the springs. Maybe add some "Highway pegs" so you can stretch your legs a little. The only part that seems a little cramped to me is the foot peg position.
hey man u can us deep wall sockets for bar spacers don't it alot on real bikes..
y not make the crawler hual area where the rig is on its side or like a 45 to 55 degree angle then u can stack them on top of each other but sideways lol
Yeah I want one now.. thanks a lot.. :)). Is mounting the rigs on the front out of the question? .. just a thought
Josh: "How silly is this?"
Me: Very silly 🤷♂️ I WANT ONE!!!
Cool project, lookin great! That will be fun to ride. Electric conversion in the future??? lol
They built electric versions as well but I really had no interest in it. I wanted the gas build specifically.
@@HarleyDesignsInc Didn't realize they did that also, sounds good. Sort of a flippant comment on my part given all of the gas to electric conversions going on these days. 🤡 Looking forward to seeing more of this one!
I didn't even mess around, I'm waiting for a turn-key trike from TGV.
I say build a trailer for crawlers, LOL
Can you give us dimensions of the frame so I can try to make one maybe
Also put the rc cars over the rear tires on either side with the rc tires almost touching the trikes tires almost like fenders!!!🤣🤣
Awesome build! What if you held the trucks vertically and put one in the rear and one in the front? Another option for truck hauling would a cool little custom trailer, then you could make provisions for spare batteries and tools.
I’ll have a headlight up front that I forgot to mention.
@@HarleyDesignsInc cool, I think it’s gonna be stupid quick depending on the gearing.
