This is why you use axles and driveshafts. The whole chain thing is just odd to me

Pretty good. Im sure u know that the suspension still way too soft, shouldn't be nearly bottoming with mild hils. 🤔

Im still recommending a bottom chainguard. Also, at least with dual chain drive, if 1 breaks, .. well, ya know. 😉

Sorry, but did he really think 'stomping on it with flip flops' would straighten the sprocket? 🙄

Rear view really shows how mush of the lean is from too soft suspension..🤔

i think you like just threw the chain then because you kept on riding it, it found its way down the side of the sprocket causing the damage to both chain and sprocket

I started watching your channel with this project and I have to say I love your content and found you skilled and looking easy and calm doing complicated stuff.
One thing I did not like about this project from the start is chain drive.

Your sprocket hit the ground need a sprocket protector when you slam into the ground when you jump the sprockets where hitting the ground

Steel sprockets might help. I stopped using aluminum sprockets in my dirt bikes because they always wore faster and I did have one bend. Are there any readily available shaft drives/transmissions that can be used in this application? I have a Kawasaki Concours with a 1400cc motor which is shaft drive. With a chip and a pipe they make 150hp. Might be something to try on the next project. I guess that’s the question that I’m sure you’ve thought about. I’ve always found chains pretty much continue to stretch on motorcycles. Maybe less so than when new but the stretching continues. In a dirt atmosphere even worse.

i think the combination of your trailing arms bending slightly under cornering and those cheap chains stretching so much is why you had no issues at first and then all of a sudden started losing chains. it sucks that happened but hey its not the end of the world like you said.

Chains on a 4 wheel vehicle is not a good idea…

Chain guards for sure and rerouting the front brake lines

Question... How is the center of gravity? It seems to have a bit more body roll than it should. I feel it is unstable around a corner like it is top heavy.

That tire was leaning just sitting there. I think you bent it. You might need a frame piece connecting the two suspension arms together to give it strength. That would reduce body roll but the back end would not have independent suspension. Maybe just a sway bar would help. But really you need to stop using chains and go to drive shafts, transfer case, and difs only. You also need fenders on EVERY build. Next time I would put the shocks on their side to give yourself more visibility up front. I would also do a heavy duty windshield and wipers with fluid. I also want to see you do some upgrades and repairs on the Grave Digger.

Turn that off-roader into a kit form and become a billionaire.
