Epic Power Wheels Overland Adventure

This is the story of a group of friends that got together the most heavily modified Power Wheels on the planet and went on the worlds first Power Wheels overland adventure! We had Steve from Hessick Moto and his KTM 525 full independent suspension Land Rover Defender, Mike from Moto Mule and his giant 4x4 Grave Digger powered by a 454cc Quad engine, Chris from Rather B Welding and his Kawasaki Ninja 650 powered Grave Ninja, and of course Grind Hard Plumbing Co's Barbie Jeep with a CRF450 race bike engine and the Jeep Hurricane with a KTM 990 boasting 100HP and selectable 4 wheel drive!
Special thanks to ARB roof tents! arbusa.com/tents-awnings-camp...
We had a blast on this adventure and hope to do more go kart with dirt bike engine trips soon! There’re will be most off road extreme adventures coming soon!

[@porscheguy09]

This was one of the, no wait... this was the MOST EPIC overland trips I’ve ever seen. None of these machines were made to last or survive the torture of a long trip like this but considering what they were put through they all did surprisingly well even with the break downs.

[@madscientistlife]

You boys are crazy as hell. Keep up the good work! Also to the UAS pilot, build a 7inch 6S rig and run current stable release of betaflight, use bidirectional Dshot with RPM filtering (requires BLHeli32 ESC) or (BlHeli-S with JESC firmware) with highest pwm frequency for smoothness [either one supports bidirectional ESC telemetry] for gyro sampling data filtering based on RPM, tune it well and minimize gyro latency by reducing all of your other filters besides active RPM filtering and reduce harmonic filtering range. Set all your rates around 500-700. Keep learning, building and flying. To the Grind hard crew and friends: Great job.
