[@wirththewait144]

There is a lack of a certain vehicle on this channel, that being the electric tank, I really miss this fine vehicle that y’all set out to create almost two years ago, I would really appreciate it if y’all brought it back, yours truly me.

[@sid-ly7py]

I wish they would bring it back,

[@evank8459]

It stinks batteries are expensive and aren't as generic as fuel. In lieu of a steal on a bunch of battery modules for projects, maybe there's a channel out there that'd appreciate a collab to get it going!

[@neukin]

Sweet, pro tip on skid plate.. weld in thread all or bolts so its flush on bottom and then stud goes through rail and lock wash n nut on top. Those bolts on the underside are lower so will get ground down and then cant put a tool in them ;) Awesome build guys.

[@ThingsYouMightLike]

He ran over the camera four times in a row 😂😂😂

[@amcustomfab]

It's a good thing. Ethan scrapped that wing. Otherwise will and Edwin would have used it as three more seats and considered it a four seat. Go-kart😂 great content as always guys. Keep up. Great work!.

You have to share more on this build. That's incredible 👏

[@_XRMissie]

The song used at 3:57 is so fresh and funky, and with the chord progression at 4:26 being oh so juicy, I had to look up who made it... Anyone that's curious, it's "Distance" by Daniel Brown. Massive respect for using music from smaller artists... But GHPC, please credit the music you use in the description. I shouldn't have to Shazam a YT video to find who made the song. Also, that go kart is absolutely bonkers, what a build!

The electric Go Cart was inevitable! It is terrifyingly gloriously sketchy and fast! I am a huge fan of electric for torque and quickness. Whenever the range/weight issue is solved, they will be the best! As Always, May God Bless you and yours! 😇

[@alexislunchboxnelson5680]

These videos always are a bright moment to my Fridays! I watch these right when i get off and its become part of my routine. I think everything you guys do is great! If i had to choose one thing though I would say, I think we need a "Ethan Shreds His Unicycle in the New Shop!!" I'm just saying, it would be pretty great.

[@RC-fu6hg]

What fantastic kart. I love this video. Snow activities you say… hmm 🤔 Mini tracks on the back. Skis on the front. And that tad more ground clearance? Or how about a grind hard shop made electric snowmobile!??

[@TBButtSmoothy]

Will is the definition of "trust me guys" *jumps into incinerator*

[@squidikka]

Ethan as usual being the only one that knew how dangerous that was. A pond on a warm day is no problem. A frozen pond at 20 degrees is an entirely different animal. When your whole body hits that water, you tense up, panic, etc. Easy to drown without having experienced and trained what to do in that situation. Hopefully the pond wasn't too deep to pose an actual threat.

[@svenngunnarrustgard1228]

I was thinking more about water versus electricity

[@squidikka]

​@@svenngunnarrustgard1228 That won't happen. Water is actually a lousy conductor. The dangers of electricity in a standard house outlet for example, is not independently just the voltage, it is current that gets you. The battery won't harm you in any way with regards to getting electrocuted as it doesn't have the current capabilities to do so, let alone in such a big pond. In fact, the acid poses more a threat to you.

[@StanleyKubick1]

they're a few hundred feet away from their house

[@squidikka]

@@StanleyKubick1 This means literally nothing. Being close to home doesn't un-drown you, nor does it make medical help come to you faster out in the woods.

Nah he's just worried they'll hurt themselves. That's a really dangerous situation they put themselves in. 20 degrees into freezing water is no joke. You tense up, etc. Easy to drown without knowing exactly what to do, and how to react. A pond on a warm day is no problem, but freezing is a different story. Ethans right to be grumpy.

[@newagetemplar6100]

Lol that’s flipping rapid, far better than the bike engines ones I’ve previously seen . Word of warning guys , if it’s a hollow back axle it WILL snap near the rear wheel bearing! Had this happen to us on several occasions while racin 2 strokes with some quite ‘ close shave’ near misses . If it breaks on the chain side it can potentially flick round with the chain taking your elbow with it !!!!! If the breaks go a bit numb ( always do ) theirs a special break bleeding reservoir that eradicate trapped air . ❤🇬🇧
