100HP 4X4 Power Wheels Gets Long Travel Suspension and Off Road Tires! + FULL SEND!

Get 67% off or more on the Kove Split Speaker here: koveaudio.com/gp73 Code GP73 (works site wide). Today our 100 hp power wheels Barbie jeep gets long travel suspension. Ethan custom fabricated some (way overkilled) extended A arms and extended the axles to make this all possible. On top of the long travel suspension, we also added proper four wheeler wheels and tires for the ultimate off-road grip. This is the best Colonel Senders has ever driven. We went from 7 inches of travel to around 10! We painted and installed the shocks, and it's looking sweet.
The traction increase is pretty big, and the jumps have improved by a lot. Now we can really feel how different of a machine it is. Landing after a jump is now a whole different deal. The power steering makes it buttery smooth to handle. It's really amazing to see what proper steering geometry can do.
This beast is unstoppable. Looks like it is time for a new full send video! We'll be traveling to a professional off-road racing track, so make sure to stay tuned and subscribe!

I love watching Ethan problem solve. As an engineer myself, I can really respect his ability to design, fabricate, then build these incredible projects. Combine that with Edwin's amazing video and editing skills, you get content that is absolutely worth watching, literally every time!

[@Alex-xh1zi]

The sleeves you made for the front driveshafts are probably stronger than the solid shafts because of its larger diameter. Prop shafts are often hollow because the meat in the middle doesn't really do much in torsion. It's more effective to have larger diameter but hollow shaft. Excellent! 🤙

[@mitchlec8916]

Welds, grinds, paints and installs with bare hands.. now that's a real man! Lol This build is definitely my favorite. It's perfect in every single way, wish I could build something so magnificent.

[@j-beatsimaginationstudio1987]

You can actually see how much more stable it is, especially when landing a jump. Awesome job! Be safe:)

[@MichaelMossmanNZ]

Thank you to all at GHPC for another great episode ... aside from the awesome Barbie jeep mods & testing, I'd like to commend the clever drone footage. I've never seen a drone do a flip before ... cool trick =)

[@julanrisselada5228]

21 min of the best series in the world

[@rogerwoodvlogs7428]

The only way I've ever had success extending or shortening axles is grinding both ends of the work piece to a point. On a known straight valley like a piece of angel iron and fill the bevels with weld. I did it to my dune buggy been driving it for 10 years hasn't failed yet. Have to be careful not to over heat so weld rotate weld cool and repeat. Slow but effective.

[@marshy_4599]

Damn she looks like she's riding so much smoother. That helmet cam footage barely shuddered at all compared to the old setup. Great stuff!

[@johnnytwotimes7831]

Only thing I'd change is put a solid cylinder inside the void area of the shaft and drill holes and weld that area aswell

[@acurarl9929]

Heating an beating the interference fit on rear axals prolly helped break them.

Excellent work brother! PS: if I'm not mistaken it looks like a certain UAS pilot is learning a little acro mode. That better not be horizon mode.

If you don't crash your quadcopter every once and a while you aren't pushing yourself enough.
