  • Today on Grind Hard Plumbing Co we start a new build!
    We stole the engine from Ethan's dirt bike for the Barbie car so what should we do with the frame? Well, make a crazy mountain scooter with an old snowmobile engine of course!
    Special thanks to Rouge Fab. Check out our tubing bender here bit.ly/2LH2O5c
    This seems to be one of those when mechanics lose their minds kind of things...
    This will be the first episode of many. It all starts with a little grinding and welding.
    Watch us turn a car into a rally truck! • E36 Coupe to a Truck B...

Dude, I can picture that thing pulling a wheelie, it's gonna be sick!

    maybe add an s shaped bar over the top similar to a beach cruiser bicycle, it adds some strenght to your frame and helps with flexing.
    Also neat for placing a seat, adding footrests is easy with your lower bars. I love your builds! thanks for uploading

  • @jerrywooton2043
    @jerrywooton2043 Před 5 lety +16

    If u flipped the back wheel around so the sprocket was on the opposite side u could run the jack shaft across the the back the width of the engine and put the belt drive on the one side and a sprocket on the other side for the back wheel idk how the swing arm is but u might be able to flip it and fab up the shock just a thought don’t kill me

    • @alecfleming373
      @alecfleming373 Před 5 lety

      Jerry Wooton depending on next the gearing wanted... Having more sprokects lets you set a torque ratio. Like a mountain bike or manual drive car in a single speed. I vote future upgrades to the jackshaft to have a second speed!

    • @jerrywooton2043
      @jerrywooton2043 Před 5 lety +2

      Alec Fleming yes I am aware of the fact but considering that the snow mobile engine doesn’t have a transmission with gears u would want a medium set up meaning a smaller sprocket on the engine and a decent size sprocket on the wheel similar to what the dirt bike had originally if u put a smaller sprocket on the wheel it won’t be very fast it will have torque but will be slow at high rpm putting a bigger sprocket on the motor will give u top end but no power and be more strenuous on the motor and using multiple jack shafts I doubt will help very much you’ll trade power for speed unless u can switch the gear ratios like a mountain bike it looks like to me the reason he is using the jack shaft is to adapt from the belt drive of the engine to the chain for the back wheel another option I would vote for is a belt driven torque converter it would be pretty easy to modify to there set up and would be close to having gears reguardless it’s cool and I’m anxious to see how they go about doing it and thanks for the insight I just feel like what ever there final sprocket configuration is could be simplified by attaching them simply to the drive line
