Getting chased by a FPV Drone at the track!
I was lucky enough to meet up with Bluehornet_FPV (Wade) at RAM Offroad park. He's a FPV (first person view) drone pilot, and he chased me around the track some and got some really good footage. Thanks Wade! ✌
I hope you enjoy this as much as I did.

Hello there, In this video I got my Baja out to the track again. I did a video session on the track with audio. I think it's interesting to see what it's like on the tack. I hope you enjoy it.
More track time for Wratchet, this time was AWESOME!
Просмотров 4 тыс.2 месяца назад
Hey fellas, I had a really slow start to 2024, it took a long time to get things going with Wratchet. I was lucky enough to meet up with Dylan and Gavin from The Rad Factory (RUclips channel) and we had an amazing time at RAM Off-road park. I made some changes to Wratchet over the winter and he is much more drivable than he was last year. I hope you enjoy the video.

Big Jump (by accident) at the OHV park

Hello all, I was able to get Wratchet back to the RAM Offroad park, had a lot of fun. I accidently attempted a double and overshot it, and then found out it was a stepdown. So I really ended up dropping off the back. But Wratchet took it like a champ, for the most part anyways.

    Good basic video ..can I offer some suggestions ? If you rolled some strips of panel steel to go across the under side from side to side at the steel only stage , with an over lap of 3 inches both sides , and tacked them in place with your mig you would get a plug which resisted twisting .It also gives a rigid accurate trim . edge . I prime my plugs ( dye ) with a Duratec primer or regular 2 pk automotive primer . Any divets can be stop puttied with Dynatron or similar wet sand finished and buffed before the wax parting agent ( around 5/6 ) polished and left an hour after polishing between wax coats . Then pva before the tooling gel ..It will give you a mould which will need much less wet sanding to get ready to mould from ..👍 otherwise good info ..

    Man, you got me thinking about the steering setup on my toyota pickup. Its forward steer and im sure its just as bad as the demo on paper lol. I think im gonna try to make it rear steer and get better geometry. This might be the reason why my tires need rotation more often than i think they should is because they are scrubbing the heck out of the roads every turn i take lol... Thanks for the great explanation man 👍👌

    Hello Doug You helped me a lot , thanks to your videos I decided to do the wiring myself , my project is a 1/4 mile drag car , so I did the wiring and at Dino keep cutting off around 460 whp , my tunner said wiring problem on shielded wiring on crank , knock and cam sensors , he said it’s wrong so I need to have a visual sample how you did it if no much to ask

    • @DougBugBuilder
      @DougBugBuilder 17 дней назад

      For the Cam, Crank, and Knock I ran a dedicated (2) conductor shielded pair to each of those separately. I grounded the shield wire to the AEM ground wire. Also if you are running the J series keep an eye on the Cam trigger. That gave me some issues because the trigger cast into the cam wheel tapers off rather that just drops off. So it sends a weaker signal to the Cam sensor. I hope that helps.

    If the limiting factor on this setup is where the heim joint touches the mounting bracket for the steering would it have been possible to add longer spaces either side of the heim and space the brackets out abit more so that the heim doesn't touch? Or would that cause other issues?

    • @wesleybroughton6147
      @wesleybroughton6147 20 дней назад

    Great work and engineering. I'll do this to my buggy. One procedure I will change is before spot welding the caliper bracket to the spindle, Put the pads in the caliper and slip it in place over the rotor. Attach a regulated air line to the brake line port. induce to 10 psi air into caliper and if it's set in place correctly spot weld it. I did this before on a car and it worked great.

    Your car just launches and lands so so smooth , Makes me want to tear my car apart and do what you have done. Did you design your suspension yourself ?? . I don't recall if your first car had the same designed suspension. I believe you shared your design if I remember correctly . Have you had any cracking issues ??. I know if I launched my car like you do , I would be breaking arms and cracking the frame. Love that car you have.

    • @DougBugBuilder
      @DougBugBuilder Месяц назад

      I did design this myself, this suspension is much stronger than the first Baja I built. Originally I was getting some stress cracks in the front spindles, I remade them and added some bracing where needed. So far since then everything as far as I can tell is holding up very well. 👍
