bring back build and battle

Dude the channels about to die vin and hurt left and alot of ppl are abandoning ship now kens gone and the company sold out

Enjoy watching the death throes of hoonigan man.

Dude, Scotto doesn't even work there anymore

I heard that but havent found nothing saying that scotto left but yeah the brands is silently on life support.

Steph was a record-holding drag racer back in the day and it shows.

[@Meccanico208]

If he is a record holding drag racer he should have went up against Blake Wilkey driving the Scumbug, the only reason he won was because the driver did not know how to launch a Bug or that you have to wind them out before you shift.

[@Maaaaaax-07]

I love his youtube channel so much tbh.

[@1216jimmyz]

@@Meccanico208it’s almost like it’s only RWD going against an AWD with a locked center differential. Yeah must be that he “can’t launch it”.

[@mrwisher1250]

@@1216jimmyz Look at his starts, wheel spin isn't the issue. He just has zero reaction time. Its like he's starting from neutral or something.

BAJA UPDATE

[@Lilpetegr01]

Clearly coming to the end of an era.. Hope the departing guys will start something together

[@Javierm0n0]

this is a great race! steph really knows exactly how to drive his rav4 and scumbug can really take those whoops.

[@saltyfloridaman7163]

Not really. The rear end needs tuning. Way too much bounce. Needs about 10% more bump stiffness and about 15% slower rebound and maybe slightly more preload

[@BPlus-oz7cm]

I love that Rav4 way more than I should!!

[@badgermetal]

Such a cool build. The perfect balance between weight, power, cost, suspension travel, and parts availability. Sort of like a rally car.

[@tammyforbes2101]

I have a 18’ Rav 4 and I like it a lot real good vehicle!!

[@ubiquitous4045]

This makes me miss the old 99’ 5 door RAV4 that I had, they really are great little vehicles

BAJA UPDATE!!!!!! One of the best series you guys ever did

[@Grimm-Gaming]

I love the 3SGTE sound "Former SW20 Mr2 Owner but damn that buggy does sound great.

[@baddaddybrady2]

What an epic day. The build I was most excited about. Still being used to put smiles of faces. Racing an old friend A absolutely beast builder!!!

[@corvus400]

Toyoda ftw! Stoc suspension egometry and still moving throug those monster truck jamps! One of the best cars ever!

[@zackklapman3569]

Love that wing on the Scumbug. What a great-looking car!

[@RyTrapp0]

Kody is gonna take some work, gotta break him of that whole "rule following" thing. But there's potential here. That last pass was killer!

I totally forgot that those two built Scumbug 🤯 So happy to see it back.

[@Tailored_Creations]

“RAV4 with big turbos” bro did you even listen to anything Steph said about that car

[@mentat1341]

This was fantastic. Love that Rav4 guy asking for the hit after winning.

[@bx_718stryker7]

i think he was nervous cause that last part of the track forced him to slow down, and that's the only reason the scumbug caught up

[@joealex65]

"that Rav4 guy", that's an insult to Papadakis! Have some respect on that man!

[@Questionable_creations]

@@joealex65 yeah, he is a legend after all

wow! that rav4 did very well with so few mods! ill like to see it upgraded to be a little more crazier.

[@kyleberndt8315]

I mean it was engine swapped.

[@sepg5084]

Few mods? It has a ton of mods. Go back to the part where they were discussing it, even the shocks were custom valved.

[@dustinsonger851]

Thank you Steph for building the only interesting vehicle I've seen in this entire series haha

[@k5abuser]

It's funny how we travle to places like this and think how beautiful it is there. And those people would come to America or the uk and think how beautiful it is here. Roads we can get form town to town in mins not days. It's so great to watch your videos and how amazing it is to see you convers with the locals . The people are always so nice and dressed so pretty. Thanks for the views.

[@jayvan475]

Steph is an icon and I love his love for that little RAV4.

I wish Steph would have finished out his build videos on the rav4, he gave us a couple suspension build videos, teased the idea of an engine swap, then left us hanging.

3am in Australia coming off a straight 17 hr drive thankFRIK For the hoonies.

[@wesley8599]

Papadakis humbling himself to just a drift team, then proceeds to be the MOST drag racer on dirt. Handbrake drop, probably used a bottle for the 2nd race and says "hes getting that car figured out" like theyre changing shocks and boost ramps. Fkn love it

[@parkouratheight]

Them: Jump the light Him: Okay totally *doesn't jump the light*

[@MatthewHeiskell]

That Rav4 is sick! Also, coaching someone to jump the arm drop is so lame, fortunately, the scumbug driver was noble. Also, he smoked that 3rd run! Love this series!

never gets old hearing the roar of dune bugs etc

HUUUGE improvement on that last run!!!

Ehhhhh the bug ran almost the same as the 2nd run, pretty sure Pap sandbagged

@@NvwaAqoKy2kg I agree, I was saying the bug's first two runs were awful, and he learned how to launch the thing on his last run 🤌

greatest rav-4 build ever built by the greatest builder! steph papadakis! get it!

Dude driving the bug finally didn't chicken out going into the whoops in the 3rd race.

that rav4 gets me. The front wheels (hopefully just tire?) shudder on the scumbug seems chill

I remember Papadakis drag racing a focus back in the day now drifting and now this vs that damn let's goooooooooooooo

[@roach39739]

We need more of this show

[@bwright1991]

I love these offroad races because suspension and technique can really make up for not having as much power.

[@cheesefriesandgangsigns]

11:17 not Brad throwing his hand up in annoyance at the late leave like that wasn't the shittiest hand drop 🤣 Dunno who he's got dirt on to get to keep doing them

[@cheesefriesandgangsigns]

Holy shit he finally figured it out for the third race! Maybe the only time I've ever seen him put his hands up without snapping them down like something burned him before he could get them up. He does it like that more and he'll stop fucking up races

[@jimxiong04]

@00:26 rav4 is 2.0L turbo. Not n/a

[@Jakefrc]

Damn, that was a good race. I was impressed with the Rav in the whoops. That thing hauls.

Great race!

[@jakbparish]

Best race yet.

The Scumbug learned a little too late, but that full send over the whoops on the third race was mint!

Did he take a coffee break on the two rounds? At least he redeemed himself on the Bonus round.

[@johnanderson6401]

love to see both of the bugs go at it next season

AT the start of this I was like what a stupid line up. Literally one of my faves. lol

[@glzdad]

Im very happy to see the scumbug is alive and in different episodes!!

[@phillipmaciejewski9872]

In the intro "stats" card you list the Rav4 as having an NA engine but at 6:05 it literally says on the engine Turbo as well as Steph saying so. Is there a delete that wasn't mentioned or is the intro card wrong? I thought I was tripping but I looked back and forth a few times now as well as looking up the 3S-GTE.

[@1988orpheus]

It also mentioned a 4 gear manual is better than a 5 gear manual😮
