It was great. I really enjoyed this video. Well done to ethan and all the team for all their hard work!

[@blackbuttecruizr]

Love this!!!

[@wildvandee1079]

I would love to see the Barbie dream camper vs the colonel sanders which is better in performance and other categories

Can you make balls out of those hexagons?

[@EdwinOlding]

What do you guys think about the longer video format! So much work went into this video I hope you dig it!

[@jordanshobbies9701]

I’m really liking the longer vids, keep it up 👍

[@donowtube]

Absolutely, the short videos are teasers!

[@Ameritude]

I absolutely love it, love all your guys content

[@nitroXK]

Honestly I think the finishing touch would be adding working headlights and taillights

[@jakobsmith5575]

Always love more content from you guys!

[@Enigma-Sapiens]

Awesome welding, engineering, mechanical work, and madman ripping skills Ethan! Exquisite video work Edwin, the video and sound are both perfect!

[@QuestForTruth2012]

I love these longer videos that show how much work you put in! Awesome build!

[@GrindHardPlumbingCo]

Glad you like them!

[@djtechsane]

it should also earn them more ad revenue... So we get good content and they get more money :D win win? although its more editing for them

[@timbagmut5897]

​@GrindHardPlumbingCo I love the effort, but how thick is the tubing you're using for the Arms? I'm super inspired and want to build my own toys!

[@michfloridaman]

These longer videos are great guys, keep em up! I really appreciate the additional attention given to the technical aspects of the build and encourage the time lapse jig work you guys do to highlight them. The GoPro and drone interlaced shots are really creative touches, even the beats flowed nicely throughout. Great content to learn from and feel encouraged creatively by fellas! 👌

[@BAMFChuddyGCAG]

You guys should take the little hex cutouts and add some keychain holes then send them in random orders! Also, always appreciate you guys adding bonus doggo content!

[@BillyJoeJimBob28]

Yeah. Plus paint & stamp them with GHP. Then sell them for $5 or more? A hex coin for a raffle ticket! 😋 (course it will be more than $5 worth of work per coin) 😉

[@dylantucker1577]

I was gonna say the same but stamp it

Best episode ever guys well done. love the hour long ones. I have been asking u guys fo a while ti make them longer. Awesome builds keep up the good work and longer content.

[@walkerfablab]

Long videos are what we wanna see! There is nothing else to watch these days that is new and unseen! Keep up the great works guys! Hopefully to come wheel with you when our KiDz buggy is done!

[@mickmuzzmkmz1628]

Definitely beats most of the shit on TV!😉

[@Sneaky_snekk]

also we need to see more doggos

[@Stanton_High]

That came out PERFECT. The onboard camera really showed how incredibly smooth the ride is. Absolutely nailed it.

[@CLCIII]

The amount of time, effort and energy that you put into these builds is amazing. The camera work and editing production are TV quality! My OCD thoroughly approves! Once again I state: You guys NEVER disappoint! As Always, May God Bless you and yours!

[@yrmoma]

Calling this TV quality is an insult. This is way better than anything on TV!

[@derucktorez2260]

I do some really cool builds. But the fab work and time that these guys put into these builds is insane. I mean they almost double to triple the hours on a project. And it’s well worth it every single time.

[@BeaverBaister]

This video was amazing! It had everything. Long-travel suspension, new tires and wheels, Ethan’s OCD fueled obsession, insane send, you guys rock. I love your fab/build videos the most and this was great 👏

[@auburneagle360]

A suggestion when you sleeve and extend the next set of axles - cut a fish mouth in the sleeve. When we used to cut and lengthen axles for the Baja SAE races, they always broke at the weld just like yours did. We had far less failures after we changed the how we welded them. The fish mouth will spread the heat affected zone out and not create as much of a stress riser there.

[@robertrose1098]

Guys , you are definitely going to be hitting two million subscribers rapidly!!!! This is going to go viral for sure!!!! The Barbie camper is now officially my favourite, the trailer and jetboat are going to knock this out of the park!!!! Your a bloody genius!!!! I don't know what else to say... The most beautiful amazing epic video. Congratulations on the most amazing thing I have seen being built on utube, HANDS DOWN . Bloody genius. WOW!!!!!!!!!!

[@kobygrimes1234]

This longer video format is definitely the way to go!! Great video!

[@wmbpounder6840]

By far the most insane thing you ever built. I cannot believe how it handled jumping and flying over logs like it was nothing. Amazing

[@spudgun1590]

I have been watching since i think the first or second power wheels you built and the way you guys constantly out do yourselves is just unreal. This build is absolutely insane. I am really glad to see a roll cage on this one! I dream of giving one of these a rip. Awesome long video too, perfectly edited as usual.

[@x_ph1l]

It's pretty awesome to have a water bed for plasma cutter. Even a little bit of water underneath decreases smoke by A LOT and if water is quite close to the sheet of metal you're cutting, then it doesn't get warped and also you get cool metal sheet right after cutting. Recommend.

[@isaac.leonard]

YES

[@CrusaderSports250]

Out of interest does the water bed (steam), give problems of corrosion?, I have a hand held cutter and I am just curious as a cutting table could sometimes be useful.

[@x_ph1l]

Not really. Steel will corrode the same way as you would splash it with water. If you want zero corrosion from your water bed, then add a tiny bit of Sodium Nitrite powder to your water. About 1.53g of Sodium Nitrite (NOT Nitrate) per gallon of tap water.@@CrusaderSports250

[@MRMechanicRC]

Dude that has got to be the SMOOTHEST ride you guys have made so far! Soaked up every single little bump!

[@jeremyhusain6834]

Would you ever consider making a 6x6 power wheels? Like a mini Ranger. You can put it on the back of the big ranger. Kinda like me and my mini me. Love all the work you guys have put into all your builds. Keep up the amazing videos guys.

[@fenderflapper1551]

i say instead they should make a realistic mini trophy truck with a solid rear axle and tons of travel all the way around

[@garrett591]

@@fenderflapper1551 it’s near impossible to find a solid rear, I’ve been looking everywhere. If you know please let me know, and if you know about a solid front I really want one too

Damn, an hour long video! 😍 Hats off to you lads fully respect that and look forward to watching it. After the last couple videos being quite short, this definitely makes up for it. 💯🤟🏻🔥

I respect you guys so much, one you have the dream job of many people like me, you're making good money, and that you guys are actually doing something for videos, every video you guys are hands on working and enjoying every minute of it, lots of love

[@olekaarvaag9405]

Daaaamn thar thing is crazy. I'm calling Ethan as the king of the kart/kart-ish related builds. Everything about this is insane. You can even see how soft it is. Especially the first person view over the jumps. It literally doesn't move.

[@Drummerboykhari12]

Hearing that classic tune at 48:59 brought a smile to my face. I love your guys content and always have for the last couple years. Keep it up. Stay true to yourselves guys. Edit: The last FEW years. I can't believe it's been pretty much 4 years for you guys here, time flies.

Do you have a belt in there? if not you should get one hahah, so sick!!

[@Steelythestacker]

I have to say, not only do you guys build some of the most amazing machines around, but the production quality of your videos are unsurpassed. Keep it up, you guys allow a disabled guy to live vicariously with a big smile every time I watch your vids.

[@GrindHardPlumbingCo]

Glad to have you here man!

[@BroJamez]

Your builds keep improving and the content keeps getting more intriguing. I've looked forward to seeing each video you guys bring out for years and enjoy every min of them. Also wanted to drop in that small wheelie wheels mounted in the back would probably be so much fun to allow you to be able to 12'O'clock that beast as much as you want

[@nathaniellangston5130]

I feel like this is quite possibly your best video yet! I really like the long videos showing what went into each part of the long travel and how it was bent and designed and modified for shock clearance. Great video!!

[@DubDubJibber]

Let's be honest, we would watch a 24/7 livestream of you guys. 🤣 Long time fan, really enjoy the longer videos. Hopefully mo' work means mo' money!

[@ArizonaSusan]

I would suggest that you make a mosaic tabletop with all of the hexagon pieces you have created. You need an “end of the day” space to sit and relax 😉

[@GrindHardPlumbingCo]

The "Test" ended up being a full send...

[@UmmmmmmmWhat]

Did anyone expect anything other than such a "Test"?

[@brokensuave]

Looks like the steering has kind of opposite Ackerman, is this noticeable while ripping hard through a corner? Does it feel like it ploughs at all? Could it be reduced in severity?

[@todd_harrison4500]

Epic build!!🤘 You could throw all the little hexagons into a tumbler to polish them up, and give them away in merch orders!👍

[@YTDTETV]

Long videos are top 👍 one thing… I wouldn’t cool hot metal down in water as then it becomes brittle, secondly if you put the drive shafts in the oven for a few hours after welding it will re temper the steel so it’s slightly flexible instead of snapping ie on the drive shafts.

Love long travel suspension. Learnt my lesson about computer vs real life, mocked it all up as i designed it and quickly found out it cambered the wheels to much (As i hadn't taken into account the tread size on the tyre) managed to move the shock top mount to adjust it but then it got body roll :( - so i sold it Keep having fun and you guys have def turned this into a thing now

[@thedreadedgman]

wow really impressed by the enthusiasm, expertise, engineering, and entertainment value here.

[@DetroitMuscle440]

I've heard to stay off the throttle on landings. On throttle, you hit a high if not max wheel speed, the momentum of the drivetrain versus the wheel stopping suddenly when landing causes a spike in torque and your axle will lose. Nice build, keep the fun going.

[@benjamint.6797]

OK so definitely have a new sub w me after watching this pink bomber , and the fact that you guys do the building instead of paying to get the work done is a big ➕ .. This build looked like a blast!!!

Great idea. Hadn't gone that far. My kids were happy when they had those big wheeled stand up push scooters. And then I stuck a weed eater on it. And they were tickled. But I do have a CR500 dirt bike with an extended swing arm and I have or I'm currently building it with a CBR 600RR on it. It's only meant to go straight and up a mountain. Not done yet.

I love all your builds and content in general but the Barbie Dream Camper is, for me, your best build by far. Looks super smooth and so much travel to ride and it RIPS! Also, it just looks amazing :) New tires and rims are great but I was thinking maybe matching hot pink lug nut covers??
