My thoughts exactly.. that's the point in tracks is for snow.. studded paddle tires would have been enough for light snow and trails

My favorite part of the Colonel is your homemade muffler. It's badass! 😁

[@harryrenner4016]

The Colonel never stops being the most AWESOME build ever. and it still holds the top spot as the best build on You Tube no doubt. before you lower the gearing. don't forget to get a top speed run documented. I bet it will be right near a hundred miles an hour. or possibly even over a hundred miles an hour. I'm sure there's a way to build or machine some much stronger hubs. after all the Colonel shouldn't be left out of the fun just because there's snow on the ground. YEAH TOTALLY AWESOME !!!

When a Power Wheels car has more power than your own car..

[@tigattac]

This machine, is the best of the best on you tube, in all. Those belts have a lot of torque on them, no wonder the spindle breaks. Try Subaru parts on the front, and it will be fine. Best regards from Norway

[@Ameritude]

By the time winters over, the tree house is gonna have tracks...

[@bobbynate4271]

Hey guys I've been thinking about the Colonel's gearing problem and it seems to me the best solution would be to put a small chain and sprocket set from the engines output shaft. You may have to rearrange some stuff and make some bearing mounts. But I think it's right up your alley as opposed to trying to regear the diffs 👍. Plus it would be easily adjustable.

[@TrulyUnfortunate]

Would love to see how this thing would perform in deep sand as well as mud.

[@GrindHardPlumbingCo]

We will do a video on this for sure!!

[@maulerrw]

The Colonel would look excellent as a Half-Track. Wheels at the front, tracks at the back baby! Would probably also be much happier on the steering

[@tyronparke5410]

[@jensenmiller6410]

Hey guys! Depending on what aluminum alloy those knuckles are made out of you may need to age them (let them rest unloaded) before they get back up to full strength after welding. 6xxx series alloys need 48 hours to get to functional levels and around 3 weeks before it's at its full strength. 7xxx series alloys need 3 months before you stress it and takes 6 months to get back up to it's full strength. There are others that may need aging but those are the two most common that I know off the top of my head. If you start hammering them with load before they have time to age it results in stress cracks almost immediately and then eventually another failure. That is what I think happened here though I could be completely wrong.

[@davidd3377]

Now that’s a piece of work! The little motorcycle was a cool in a funny project.

Sick build. And thanks for the d&b, that was a perfect touch.

[@mastermaker666]

Fabricated and machined steel might be worth a thought, something that makes the part larger(clearance allowing..) so that the load would be spread out over a larger area(plate-steel and box-section..)

[@timwegman5776]

That thing is SICK with the tracks! Would love to see it in Deep snow where the torque on the front wouldn't be as rough. Could make the ultimate search and rescue toy!

[@tychoklapwijk8306]

jumping it on the first test drive is always the right thing to do. maybe try to give the front a bit more negative camber so the side of the track does not dig in when cornering

I am so waiting to see your next project. That looks amazing even my wife like the buggy. For your hubs maybe it is time for a homemade steel part?

[@alaska4229]

This is the build I've been waiting for

[@Rokynutz]

I honestly thought the general couldn’t get any more badass...then this uploads.....well played boys.

[@morpheus2913]

Just One thing... I drive Tracked Rigs for a living and the front tracks llok like they are on the wrong way round... To reduce the steearing and drive stress when turning the following information I believe will help you solve. The long end should always point to the rear... It helps with stearing and penetration on soft ground.. Imagine any Caterpillar Dozer, it is designed to go faster backwards than forwards... Because its desined to Push Forwards for traction and go faster and steer while going in reverse... So, to recap, place the left front track or the right side and right front track on the left side 👍🏻 Hope that helps guys 🍺🍻🍺

[@morpheus2913]

Okay, maybe a couple of things? The tubing size used to make and engineer those size tracks are also required to support them... Steering arms, lower arms, ball joints ets all need to be substantial compared to standard equipment, you guys are awesome, I just know you'll make it work...👍🏻🙏🏻👍🏻🍺🍻🍺

[@LVCMTB]

Nice video, greetings from Italy

[@michaelhickling6449]

You guys need to build a Powerwheels Tow Truck

[@tuscarora5457]

Larger tires on the front and tracks on the rear might work. I say larger tires because you said it's "geared lower" with the tracks on. Or turn the front tracks around maybe. With that much torque and the amount of tread farther out from the steering pivot point, you may need automotive grade steering and suspension parts.

[@D3thM3tal]

Look at how rock crawlers put hi-steel arms on top of the knuckle and them integrate them into the cast original TRE spot. Put it in the middle of the two and connect the top and bottom, it should help a bit.

[@Mark5mith]

Those tracks are superb, looking forward to more, think those hubs need some upgrades, they were getting a beating with the wheels, never mind tracks.

[@evanwortley5285]

You guys outdo your selfs every video🤩 love to see it

[@daviddetman5575]

I saw the sneak peek in your last video and couldn’t wait to see it fly off the top of a hill. Unfortunately in my opinion with the size, weight and leverage the front tracks cause, rebuilding what broke in a manner that it’s now unbreakable like perhaps out of steel, I think would simply cause the front tracks to find the next weakest link and break that! I’m down for watching the rides and repairs if your up for doing them! My suggestion would be like a lot of others I read, put it in 2 WD and skis on the front and take it in the deep stuff :-) Great video with great music!!

[@patricklion1201]

Now that is freaking AWSOME BRO! I love your work, man keeep on that grindd!!

[@LogicBeforeAuthorityOFFICIAL]

Maybe before sending it, you should calculate the potential breaks of certain actions? Just saying. But I love the video that looks really cool. Fix it recalculate and let's go again.

[@MrCptnawsm]

It looks like your running a fair amount of toe in which should put enormous strain on the hubs considering the lead the tracks has. New hubs in steel and adjusing the tracks straight would be the medicine of choice if the project was mine. Keep up with all the cool creative builds and what-if attitude!

[@frankrizzo5057]
