  • Brilliant for someone so young.

    There are only two states in the Universe

    The first is the MATERIAL WORLD

    The second is the INNER UNIVERSE of the brain (of everyone!)

    Please don't waste your time with the FICTION of the SUPERNATURAL

    This relic of a nomadic pre-industrial era is a retrogression which will only delay your development

  • great work.......dont stop creating

  • keep up the good work :) from a fellow engineer

  • @sebadmz ....ugly i think it's bad-ass dood is spending his time on kool shit like this instead of dope..thumbs up to him

  • @KsCustoms Oh... and PRETTY hard-wood tool cabinet/work-bench!! So, you made that great looking "piece of furniture"??

  • @KsCustoms LoL! Im hoping you didnt take offense to my critique...

    Really I meant no harm.. because Id say.. your hard work,, and your overall intelligence defntly overshadow any other flaws that you might possess!!

    Good Job, man!! and Keep up all the hard work!! :-)

  • i was at daytona

  • lol hows it cocky what else is he suppose to say hi ime stupid i suck at buildin stuff

  • Hopefully you had Beer in the cooler and used the water to cool the engine!!

  • I'm so sorry about your sister, you seem a very nice guy and above all, your talent...don't give up. I feel like helping you, i don't know if it means much...i have experience with CAD programs, one of them is CATIA V5. Maybe you wanna put your future projects in 3D and virtual simulations. Let me know if i can help.

  • Nice work you keep it up now!

  • you should wear a helment on your lilttle bike

  • on the scooter you might be able to hook up an alternator to recharge the batteries. just put the mechanical post in the drive chain loop and see if you can get some gears for beter MA (Mechanical Advantage) to help spin the alternator faster so it would be feasable to use in the drive chain loop.

  • If you need help with any math or formulas just ask man and I will be more than happy to help you. God speed.

  • Way to Go, kid!!! Keep on improving. You maybe the savior of poor 3rd world nations!! God Bless You.

  • Wow man, I love what you are doing. I have a lot of respect for you for stepping out and doing something new and different. I'm a 19 year old Christian and musician looking to do God's work through the talent He's given me. I'm sorry about the loss of your sister, but since she was also a believer, she's in a much better place and I'm sure she is smiling with God as they both watch you. Keep up the good work and God bless.

  • put HHO fuel cell

  • 1) Spring suspension for the Forks on your scooter and transzilla (use bronze bushings).

    2) An articulated front suspension for your gocart (think baja sandrail front suspension).

    3) Powdercoating kit.

    4) Read the bios for Preston Tucker and Malcolm Bricklin.

    Condolences for your sister, god bless.

  • condolence bro! 

  • cool beans

  • DUDE YOU ROCK. THE ICE CHEST ON WHEELS TOTALLY AWSOME.

  • NICE VIDEO :( GOOD WORK

    

  • Dude you should build a bar stool racer. I'm Planning on building one when I get the money. I'm going to put a snowmobile motor on it. But great stuff you got there.

    From: another engineer

  • Your doing great with the building but there is very little you actually engineered.

  • Nice, i like your goals.

  • Great job!

  • yucky welds! engineering yes, welding noooo.

  • @shanklin07 some are ugly, but they still hold out amazingly well. I do not spend as much time on the ugly ones, but I should, because that's part of my own set of rules. I still have to reach my goal of giving everything 100%, lol.

  • @KsCustoms yea i was just giving you a hard time. You have some great ideas really. dont let your mind go to waist! Many people(myself) dont get the opportunities or let them pass them by to do something they were born to do. good luck.

  • @KsCustoms You remind me of me. Try to keep a positive attitude you only get more haters the more creative and successful you become. Don't become to attached to your projects they will keep you from starting new ones. And I'd say invest in learning CAD i use Solidworks. You didn't hear it from me but you can find it under torrent files. BTW use safety equipment! 

  • ya dick!

  • good luck with that dude ;) nice vid :)

  • Good stuff. You have a bright future in engineering. When you finish school come up here to Detroit and staighten this town out. Keep it up.

  • You got talent Kidd. Put it to good use;) fuck the haters

  • wow man awsome bruh i luv the inventions yu made all thtt by urself 4sho ii kno yu gone become a gud gud engineer one day man but yeh keep up the gud work nd im tryna be a engineer my self yeah im trying to be a robotic engineer though i wud like to create my own computer oneday and yeah im a christian too stay strong bruh nd yeah just keep at itt nd ur dream rite round the corner nd prayn 4 yah nd may ur sister R.I.P ::GOD BLESS::

  • You are a prodigy!!! AWESOME

  • @caj122 You have to be kidding. You think this is lame? How many 17 year old are doing stuff like this? Most 17 year old I know are out drinking and having sex.

  • @kstephen5 I always try to do this, and have some sex too :) lol. great stuff, am creating a mini CBR 600 with a scooter engine :) hope to finish it soon

  • for a 15 yr old bored suburban kid this guy is pretty dang good. but to say he is one in a million is quite a streatch. ive met kids who have built very similar machines in my highschool shop classes. my dad made a motorized scooter when he was twelve to get to school. and he isnt even a mechanic now.

    my point is that this kid is probaly brighter than me in this area, but I just dont think that this is the kid that is going to develop a car that competes with toyota. im rooting for ya though

  • I bought my car first at 14 and right away I started refurbishing the engine replace parts man lol I had fun with that car to bad I crashed it when I was 16. My point is if I had money to spend my free time on cars plus learn things along the process I wouldve but I wasn't born rich neither my parents so we don't have the same opportunities.

  • @EndofDays213 I'm sure he wasn't exactly born rich either, though money does create opportunity (however unfortunate it may be.) I'm positive he works hard for his cash seeing as how he works hard on everything else. Opportunity is around every corner, though sometimes you have to search for it, rather than let it find you. :]

  • @BunnieBooty yup your right, thanks i needed that to remind me what goal im reaching for.

  • 39 poeple missed the like button kid. God bless your sister and Very good job on your Machines

  • stopping power like in Call of Duty right?

  • good job bro!!! i'm sorry about your sister :( I'm a french guy and i think you've got talent in engineering!!! be proud of yourself. sorry if there are mistakes

    Peace

  • @dannydpro haha not quite

    I have plenty of shit of built not the least of which includes a 1978 cj7 that I have built or customized every aspect of

    btw I'm in college for mechanical engineering so it's not like I'm just a little kid wasting time in my dads garage

  • @bmxking1018 You may not be "just a little kid wasting time in your dads garage", but you certainly are more arrogant than most of said kids. Tell me now, has it ever occurred to you that perhaps he's not wasting time? Perhaps he's wisely spending his time so he can get to where you are: a mechanical engineering major. He has goals and a future, which is nothing to be scoffed at by people like you who really did waste their time but OUTSIDE a garage. I have no respect for you. Have a nice day.

  • respect kid!!!

  • well done keep up the good work

  • Comment removed

  • LOL talented engineer. there is no such thing. That is one of those mythological oxymorons. Just work your plan, dont let your plan work you.

  • Comment removed

  • trial and error IS how you learn. Just keep doing what you do and eventually you'll get where ya want. You might wanna change your name though as Kansas Kustoms already exists and build some pretty rad motorcycle bits! Don't let these wannabe web rockers get ya down man.

  • Good job dude

  • hey bro keep up the hard work and you great sense of creativity good luck god bless you got a cool logo too by the way stay sharp

  • you'll be an awesome engineer one day and who knows you might replace foose! sorry about your sister. may she be blessed :)

  • i have to tell you man, far from being a engineer. this shit you showed here today is nothing more than basic designs, any tard could have done this when they were 10. just wait untill your in engineering school. it's way harder it will definatly open you mind up and make you feel like a dumbass. all in all good video keep your head up, your on your way to success. sorry about your sister

  • @Jeffreyrno You realize you contradict yourself right? First you insult the guy, then you say keep up the "good work", which you only just insulted! You know what's going to make him feel like a dumbass? Nothing. You know what's going to make you feel like a dumbass? The fact that you are so false, that you cannot even convey a singular thought in a youtube comment. Goodbye, have a nice day.

  • @BunnieBooty wow man shows how much of a pointless life you live. it took me a year to read this, and still to this day your talking shit to every person that comments on this video and spreading propaganda about your false god, what a fuckin dumbass you must be. and the way i talked to him will get him ready for whats in store for him when he get to school. It was like a total different language to me and i learned it well

  • im 25, i grew up on lego's and erector sets, i wanted to go to college for auto mechanics but did computer repair in stead, I fix and repair anything that's broken without any knowledge either. I still dream of making that custom car that regenerates energy,self propulsion vehicle that hovers with 10 different blades in the back and drives 2FWD, that will one day power your home. there will be many obstacles and brick walls you will face, but hold true to your dreams and faith.

  • "trial and errors" is actually the WORST way to solve problems :P.

    Good vid nontheless, hope you'll like your engineering studies, they are great :)

  • @qcStarcraft Umm.. how to figure this, some of the greatest inventions were ideas that were applied, failed and tweaked and they have become great products. If you never fail, you will never learn. If you never try, you will never achieve. I don't think this kid needs advice from us because he probably has a dad that gives him great advice.

  • thats tottaly amazing you have done great projects and have great ideas keep up the great work, sorry bout your sister :(

  • Your gonna go far kid !!!

  • Hello, first of all, YOUR GREATIONS ARE GREAT ;D, the coolest vehicle was definetly the Tranzilla :P.. can really see you used lots of time on it !... and im sorry to hear about your sister :<

  • Props. Sorry about your sister. I lost my father when I was 11 years old. I started working on engines and machines every single day from that time onward. I started rebuilding motorcycle and car engines when I was 14. When I was 23 I reached my peak and built my own computer engine management system to control my car engine that I built and turbocharged. When you master engines and vehicles, you'll need to find a new challenge. I moved onto electronics! Props to your young intelligence bro!

  • my only comment is that trial and error is NOT the best way to solve problems. It can be effective but there is no "best way" to solve a problem, only things that are better than others.

  • Nice work and nice shop!!! Sorry about ur sister. I just lost my brother its to hard to lose a family member. Cant wait for the next project!!!

  • Dude your amazing, this is an awsome video. I like your attitude towards life. Yo behold a strong future. I am sorry about your sister but I know she's got to be very proud of you. Good luck with all your dreams and God Bless You. !!!!!!!!! GO KSCUSTOMS GO !!!!!!!!!

  • ur a beast!!! i also want to be an engineer but so far ive only built a gas powered gokart and fixed some motorbikes. i haven't had as creative things as you. sorry for ur sister

  • my bike taks it out!!!

  • Kid you have awesome ideas and are starting to put them into action. Its good you are becoming a "doer" and not just a dreamer. But as from one fabricator to another, on your welding....please please please do one of two things (in this order too)

    1. Buy a tank of argon gas for your welder (makes your welds more pure, penatrate more, and stronger)

    2. Turn the voltage (power) of your welder up. Your welds look very weak and you are going to have one break.

    just a couple words of advice.

  • Hope the best for you kid. I believe you have more than what it takes to make it.

  • 5 stars,

    Nice video, im sorry for the loss of your sister. Greetings from sunny Jamaica.

  • This isn't 15 minutes.

  • @nickers2 piss off

  • i am sorry for your loss son. i lost my brother and son it is amazing the drive loss will cuase take care young man!!!!!!

  • cool video man you can doit

  • My volume is up all the way and I still can't hear what you are saying.

  • Way to go K.S. I agree with MrCerebro11, young people put down the game controller and get outside and do something rather than wait for something fun to be shipped over from China.

    K.S. designed and built it himself! He has to supply himself with a warranty! Oh My!

    This is how our late-great country was built.

  • cool video man

  • dude u got a lot to learn so listening to critics might be useful

  • dude you r awsome.i want 2 be an engineer 2 but i never made anithing like u a can fix any car u can through at me but i never created anything like you u and me might be the best engineers of the futer keep working at it and i will 2 maybe ill careers will cross somday

  • this kid gives me hope for the future generations of america.

  • Amazing history. I will follow you because you have a lot of talent. Very creative. God bless you.

  • wow I wish I had a playroom in my parent's garage when I was 15. But my parents never had a garage. And I wasn't allowed near anything with an engine at age 15.

  • keep it up kid...this is very cool to see. i hope you've been knockin' out good grades in school 'cause to study engineering at a good college you're gonna need that (especially math & science). this is where your going to be able to work on projects like this (google: Formula SAE or Formula Student). otherwise if you don't hook up and study engineering for real you'll still be making the same sorta stuff 20 years down the road.

  • Awesome work KS, dont pay attention to the haters, they are everywhere! I have great admiration for what you are doing, great attitude and motivation! Keep it up!

  • 1 in a million?

  • I'm not religious by far, but I like your motivation and your dedication to your hobby/career thumbs-up

  • Sorry about your sister, my wife has viral myocarditis I understand you. I'm going through that. God bless you, hope your dreams come true...

  • i have been doing that kind of stuff since i was 9

  • @ACD19farmboy And what have you done with it since then, hmm?

  • keep trying and you really need to work on metal finishing(example shitty welds) i dont care for your stuff but maby if you take yourself off the pedistal you put ypurself on and seek some guidence you could go far

  • @nick3209 maybe you could learn how to spell before you try to correct anyone.

  • Comment removed

  • impressive man. Most guys your age only know how to play xbox. Don't let anyone try to hold you back with their negativity. Open minded thinking like you have displayed is a rare quality unfortunately in today's world. I attend Embry-Riddle here in Daytona Beach and I must say you put some of the guys in my classes to shame. Keep it up.

  • @Kscustoms dude i must ask....how old are u? i dont know but for your voice i think u are too yound to have degree in engineer...

  • Comment removed

  • Im sorry about your sister :(

  • @KsCustoms

    It is awesome seeing how you have found your purpose in life. It is also good that you realized that life is better when you live for God. No matter how many bad comments that you get it doesn't really matter because you are doing a great job. Also you will make History (His-story) because you are living for God and however far you think you will go: that is probably 1/100 the distance you will go.

    I encourage you to keep up the good work. I am really impressed by your craftmanship

  • @millnerperry It really is amazing what our Lord can do with individuals every day. I appreciate the fact that you give positive and true responses on YouTube. :] I respect you (and KS) very much.

  • where did you get your electric motor?

  • Nice work keep it up

  • good job

  • nice...if that pic at 1:19 is yours...its fyre rlly caught my attention...

  • Study hard kid and be a good engineer, consider it your patriotic duty... America is getting dumber every day..

  • @novak458 Agreed upon!

  • @novak458 Don't study what others have done, do it yourself. I think this kid is going in the right directions I work with 4 "engineers" who don't know a rivet from their asshole! The piece of paper is worthless unless you know how to apply knowledge and applying knowledge only comes from cross referencing experience.

  • "The piece of paper is worthless unless you know how to apply knowledge and applying knowledge only comes from cross referencing experience."

    you are smart! you just explained what I've been trying to explain to myself. love the quote, another of my favorites (not really a quote) is "Best of both worlds"

  • halo music @ 11:40

  • Wow. You are so incredibly full of shit. But your vehicles are still pretty cool, I'll give you that.

  • Nice video dude! I hope you have the best luck in your future endeavors.

  • awesome. the horns on transila look siick! you should get another pair for you next project and use them as exhaust pipes. i think that would look insane.

    p.s. i have one point of criticism... you sound really cocky at the beginning but once you start talking about your builds it gets better :)

  • What-A-Deal-Huh?

  • A verrry cocky kid. But... I guess that's a good trait to have in today's business world, at least to some extent.

    Nonetheless, keep on creating stuff. Its nice to see someone who has found their true calling so early in life. :]

  • @Yesrly1 Verrry cocky? He's trying to make it interesting and make a pitch to win the contest. This kid couldn't be more humble. Listen to what he's really saying. He's not cocky but you setting yourself on a tower to pass such critical judgment is about as arrogant as it gets.

    Kid, keep it up! You're heading in the right direction and do all you can to learn from your critics but ignore those who only offer insults.

  • @rugerstorm that's true, they do not even know me personally either.

  • @rugerstorm Nice comment and i agree totally, yeah Kc keep learning as much as you can, Also you might want to study a bit on machining. you will be able to make better parts especially if you can take some classes during the summer. I took a colledge level machining course and i do not regret it at all.

  • wow another greatwst achievement keep it up..... do me favor build a machine free from gas...use electric....cause it is the future car

  • KOOL

  • Did he build these himself? God, he mentioned it a million times.

  • Whats your major? You might want to think about Mechanical Engineering. Btw, trial and error is the worst way to solve problems, the best way is to learn from someone else's mistakes. Good luck in your company and future endeavors.

  • This kid will probably be the one who builds the world speed record car one day that breaks the 1000MPH barrier Bonneville salt flats.. THRUST holds record now!

  • Nice Job!! Very interesting.

  • This video is not 15 minutes long.

    So epic fail.

  • @SirJazz No where in the directions for the fifteen minutes of fame contest did it say that the video had to be fifteen minutes long. The fifteen minutes of fame video that I made is 12 minutes long. Some of the other participants' videos were 14:55, 14:59, 13:00. I've even seen a couple of fifteen minutes of fame videos that were under 10 minutes long.

  • wanna be Some fansypantsy program in tv (like overhaling) 

  • thats sad about your sister .but your good .

  • good video bro keep it up..

  • dont watch too much tony stark films :P

  • killer rides. SHOCKED me with the sis thing it's a shame that people pass when it's NOT there time yet. sorry to hear.

  • keep working kid you are going to be famouse some day

  • your truly a great person am sorry for your sister but i know that shes seeing you from above and shes proud

  • ego

  • dude, thats awesome what u made there!

  • Yo um nice job man but work on some more harderstuff man!!!! I did all of this when i was 7 and 8.... try working on some cars or some motorcycles its more fun and you will get more experiance!!!

  • hey if you have time please check out my modded mustangs here on youtube!!trial and error installing only ford engine parts and i have a 1990 lx foxbody mustang now that can easily put down 1200 foot burnouts and is still a steet legal car!! yes im proud of my work!! over 300 passes at the drag strips pounding the crap out of it and still running strong!!!

  • i see haters in the comment list...but anyways nice creation! and great video...

  • dude more power to ya dude, nice halo 2 btw, rip h2 ='[.

  • wagon-mode haha

  • wow, i build customs too... we're about the same age too... nice wheels man, though i'd like to test-run your bike sometime :D

  • you are full of yourself kid when i was your age i scratch built a 70 mph v twin pocket bike. not from a kit. calm down. your like the smartest kid in the slow class.

  • @h0ndaXgirl626 you claim to scatch build a bunch of parts companies made that you used didn't credit for suppling the matierials like kev buy the equip to build all the parts to "scratch build" before patting yourself on the back was your micky mouse rig better than kevins, probably ,shouldnt knocked the kid for starting out so what he is proud of his accomplishments and displayed it arrogantly, also bet you were full of yourself too at the time you built yours and bragged to your pals too so

  • hey blood I'm a Jamaican, I support you 100%, keep doing what you do

  • 11:34.......why the halo music?

  • Nice, man.

  • well i'm 1 in 19 billon lol according to the census lol ,hey in fact we all are don't ya know. and all haters are like 7 out of every 10 people cause their are way to many assholes on this earth than than productive usefull drug free good people.so all you hater just keep on a flappin those rubber lips of yours cause your bantering means absolutely nothing to the rest of us!!!

  • Good luck man, I like seeing things like this. I really hope you make a successful career out of your engineering talent. Just remember, there will always be critics, just push through and live your dream. You never know, one day you may be recognized for your work in ways you never thought.

    Cheers to KsCustoms! ^.^;

  • Keep it up, man. Stick with it. It's worth it.

  • @KsCustoms.... its nice too know that somebody wants to do something with their life and not just throw it away and drink and party nice vid man 5 stars and much respect....

  • so..you gonna make an airplane huh?

  • wow keep going kid im a engineer to you can do it just kepp your mind to it and im sorry for sister godbless.

  • good

  • Kevin you need to look at my first post on bottom and work you way up for them to be in order, keep at it you will someday make it big good luck and god bless >>>>>also sorry for your loss of your sis she looks in the pic like she was a sweetheart and god simply needed her ya know she is in a better place for sure!!!

  • becareful to take claim 2 selling them they might just sue you and put your parents out of their house cause they are legally responsable , for all those fuck heads who are slamming this youth for his dreams and asperations , yeah i know you're all stupid and and dont know what the word asperation means eat shit an fuck you p.s go kill yourself or get a life and learn how to spell i can hardly decipher your absolute destruction of the americain english.

  • I am very sorry for ur lost of ur sister she is now with the Lord and she would want to see u make it in life doing thing that u have a love for keep up the great work and let me know if u start to sell ur inventions God Bless and Aloha.

  • so every designer got to see my invention well some prick at gearwrench swiped 80% of my invention and changed it slightly and patented it and stole my million bucks again so even though you are smarter than the average bear doesnt allow you to be nieve you will also need to be partly caniving cut throat bastard to beat out these multimillion dollar cut throat caniving bastard designers take it a token of advice also your cooler cart has been patened and sold by a company already so .......

  • hey bonvivant55, can you weld? as for these kids being spoiled, i mean seriously, who cares, if you wanna do something with your life then DO IT, stop whining and playing a victim that someone else has an advantage. you just need to swim harder in the river of life to stay on top

  • im 36 now and have patents and at the age of 15 (1988) actually laced up bmx rear sprocket into a 21 inch rim on my redline freestyle 2 years before Huffy came out with the very first 3 speed wanted to patent it right away but being 15 and making 60 bucks a week lol never could of happened so i am supposed to be a millionare right now but huge buisnesses scoffed off on it before i could i also designed the gearwrench sold world wide now i patented and submitted to every tool company >>>>cont.

  • kid......you are so iggnorant.....you really think ANYONE can do anything? you think fuking 3rd world children can do w.e they want? you are a privleged youth. that is why you are capable of doing what you do....and if there was a god lil christian man why would he kill your sister if she was as nice a person as you or kill so many kids in africa? there are many things to question ur faith dont be so close minded thinking lifes a fukin fairy tale......

  • @ladysman1287 Bullshit.

  • @ladysman1287 3rd world kids can't do much with their resources. neither can this kid at a large scale. At least he is doing as much as he can with his resources. He is creating his own future.

    YOU are just another LOOTER.

  • hey keep up the passion and a few years and when you look back at this vid and realize you are a little full of your self dont be discouraged (that was constructive critt K) and keep up your good work i was and am in the same state of mind of creating keep at it and your skills will definately improve along with your assembly and welding skills you have already recieved some crap from haters brush it off you talk solid and confident this feature alone will get you places quick!!

  • Great video love the ending and sorry to hear about your sister. God be with you and her...
