      Should probably make ur own structural frame for that thing. That composite & basic frame wont holdup as well as you'd hope. Not like you'd have a lot of ground to cover for frame work in such a small car anyway.

    DO NOT rely on it for a structural load bearing point. It's a fiberglass/aluminum composite with an edge fill, it's used in aircraft. I use to work with it building aircraft interiors.
    Your mounting points need to go to an existing steel/aluminum structure. The composite WILL disintegrate clamped like that.
    Edit: I watched again and it appears that he is using the existing factory mounting points for the new plates. Compare 4:12 and 7:22.
    Sorry I was in a hurry, I needed to get to work.
    One more thing, WILL, WEAR YOUR SAFETY GLASSES!!!

      This, I'm a mechanic and that comment kind of got a laugh out of me so I was going to say the same thing before I saw your comment. People seem to think that maintenance intervals are some grand conspiracy to get more money out of you (I mean sure they do make money off of maintaining your car for you) but to a point the manufacturer does genuinely want your car/bike/tractor to last and to run well throughout it's life. Those recommendations aren't just made up nonsense.

    Ethan's rant about coolant was personal for me. I feel the same way! If it isn't contaminated with rust, oil, or other stuff that isn't glycol or water, you leave it be. It doesn't expire, it just is. I've straight up drained coolant from a vehicle to replace something like a thermostat, and then put the same coolant back in after it was ran through a rag stuffed in a funnel as a filter. No issues, it just works.

    • @CRneu
      @CRneu Před 10 dny +5

      except that's not true at all. There are additives in different kinds of coolant to inhibit certain things/reactions. These additives expire and fall out of solution, which can lead to excessive corrosion inside an engine. Almost no coolant nowadays is just glycol+water. They all contain additives to extend the life of your engine.

    • @jaredlancaster4137
      @jaredlancaster4137 Před 10 dny +1

      The anti corrosion additives in the coolant can only prevent so much corrosion, and if your coolant is too old the inside of your block will start rusting.
      That being said, that takes a long time and i 100% have reused coolant, and will continue to in some situations.

    1:50 - A composite is any material made up of 2 or more components. Concrete is a composite (cement + aggregate). Carbon fiber is only a composite after you add the epoxy resin. Before that, it's just a carbon fabric. In this case it looks like an aircraft-grade aluminum + polymer composite designed to minimize weight.

    great to see the advancement in Wills' creative thinking. Moving from straight lines to ergonomically pleasing bends that look like designed parts. Leaving wiggle room in his brackets show he has learned from making things too tight too perfect and having to extend holes when they don't quite line up. Slotted holes are fine once the bolts are tight. He's doing stuff I was doing 20-30 years ago but with much more modern tools, CAD and plasma cutters would only have been a dream for me, although they existed it was still a gas axe and a grinder for my limited tool budget. I have to admit to pangs of jealousy watching you guys build this stuff. I miss it so much, enjoy it while you're still young.

    OH NO. I wanted this to be one of those hour-long videos that mostly completed the build. Now I feel like I only watched part of a GH video!

    Those batteries are insane. I'd love to see them mounted to the roof of the Chang Li.
    I was really hoping you were going to put an OP electric motor in the Solo, but this works too.

    Don't chuck any of the electrics or anything from this, send it off to Aging Wheels so he has backup parts for his 2 cars.
    I really love watching Will's builds get better and better with each one, he has a totally different ethos to stuff.
