World’s First Drifting Mini Bike | 3 Engine Drag Racing Tire Shredder GETS SENT!

[@CarsandCameras]

Charles really went full send at the end😳

[@LowMedow]

Sitting back a little bit really helps

[@jackmagnium6115]

add some badass zoomies or a custom exhaust(3 to 1) and make it killer

[@justinguerra7460]

Yall should add one LONG header on it . It would sound soo good and it would get more hp .

[@jeffrykopis5468]

John, if you were to have your driveway paved, with a 200 ft straight stretch, you'd have a great track to test acceleration, without going to the strip!

[@cliffcorbitt9494]

You basically made the Monte impossible Hill climb bike. Those bikes that don't have starters to keep the weight down they drive overseas up that hill that's about 600 ft long and straight up and most bikes do not survive.

[@johnnycarrizales3173]

I'm sure everybody is happy that Charles joined the team!

[@kpaintball3]

3 into 1 exhaust on this thing would be hilariously cool

[@4thgenelantra]

YES

[@mindovermatter3988]

It would definitely be cool but it would also hurt the power of each engine that has an exhaust pipe connected in front of another one. If you look up the episode of engine power when they Dyno two engines together you actually lose power that way

[@tomstech4390]

@@mindovermatter3988 Yup the engines aren't synchronised and some probably aren't pulling their weight which means not only are they not adding as much power but if you hook up exhausts they can be a power suck. Its the opposite of KISS in this case.

[@4thgenelantra]

@@tomstech4390 what if the exhaust pipe was 2X the normal pipe size there would be enough airflow right?

[@Todd_G_FPV]

And a long single gas tank!

[@williamcummings6562]

I’m so happy you brought Charles on the channel . He’s such a nice guy and pretty damn funny !

[@trumpfancardanostakepool4737]

Seeing Charles shredding on that thing at the end was awesome.

[@williamcummings6562]

I sure glad you took Charles on your channel! He’s such a nice guy and pretty funny !

[@oldshovelhead]

The look on Charles' face at 13:28 reminds me of a scene from the 1971 film On Any Sunday - it's the hillclimber right at 1:09:47 (if you don't have this film in your movie collection you NEED it!!).

[@gavincline209]

Definitely would love to see all these engines stage 1’d atleast. No governor, good carb/intake and exhaust. That’d be bad ass I bet. Especially on a drag strip. Definitely agree on a single kill switch on the bars. It’d just make more convenience if nothing else

[@jackmagnium6115]

and a better exhaust. like a badass 3 to 1

[@RealKlausSchwab]

Only idiots and ricers say stuff like "stage 1". Ain't no such thing as stages, especially with fully custom projects.

[@grantcrockett9547]

Just in case you were wondering.... Charles was a really good addition to the team. Also I laughed out loud when you said "bone stock 3-engine motor bike".... like there is any "stock" bike with 3 engines!

[@thelonewrangler1008]

I honestly thought this was ridiculous when you first started building it and that it was gonna put you guys in the hospital. Now I think it's one of your best builds, it just looks gnarly sitting still with those 3 engines🤙

[@axeami1354]

something I'd do for safety is add a kill switch to the handle bars that kills all 3 engines. A couple of decent upgrades could be to remove the governors, a 3 into one exhaust, and some better clutches, and maybe some better carbs. would love to see how much of a beast you can make this thing lol.

[@CrazyIvan1337]

1000% agree. The 3-1 exhaust would probably sound super cool, as long as all three engines are running properly.

[@jvsyoutube3298]

AND a real hydraulic discbrake, that would be a must if i did something like that

[@rydplrs71]

You have to sync the engine timing for a 3->1 exhaust.

[@kasuraga]

@@rydplrs71 the engines would have to be mechanically linked to do that. Considering every engine has its own clutch, this isn't possible.

[@contraband1543]

You could put one way valves into the pipe to keep that from being a problem. I don't know if they make valves like that though

[@jstephenallington8431]

That is the most fun build I think that I have seen yet. I can't wait to see it on a paved road! BE SAFE!

[@avbangers1341]

Daaang Charles had that thing in rototiller mode 😳👍🏻

[@Tampaboys]

Heck ya guys what a blast

[@trevorhalford8410]

After seeing Charles's response, Good thing you made the seat Brown. LoL

[@majorwedgie8166]

Adding Charles to the show was the best thing John and Issac have done so far!

[@jesseshelby4383]

Front suspension, delete all the fuel tanks and replace with 1 small container, carb, cam and ehxust would make that bike FLY! Awesome build! 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

[@FlyLikaEagle4140]

i smiled from 👂2 👂 when he said build those engines yea dats a good idea build dem up

[@timgroce1877]

Oh charles this is a family show! Spray and pray!

[@rickyapearman]

When you use a circular saw, adjust the blade height to match the material you are cutting. Much safer and you will get a better and easier cut.

[@thebigpest2138]

I literally laughed out loud (lol) at 5:44 with Charles comment about the shape of the seat ...

[@WreckedRevival]

Couldn't help but LOL when Charles let his arms go limp laying on that thing @4:38. 😂 🤣

[@nitroneal48]

Can't wait to see it go down the drag strip

[@reddog543211]

Great video guy's !!!..... Charles was really getting the feel of the power towards the end....great riding and drifting Charles !!!!

[@jeffrykopis5468]

3 racing clutches would really help it off the line. And with 3 engines, it has enough torque to pull a tall gear ratio, like 3.5:1.

[@neilpeart9322]

They’re super expensive but id love to see these guys use a manually operated clutch, Red Beards Garage used one a while ago, cool concept. Edit: they’re made by 3dmotorsports

[@16driver16]

Full racing clutches are expensive but gopowersports has higher rpm clutches they could probably get ahold of with their sponsorship

[@chrismarencik3593]

P0

[@williamstamper442]

Hilliard Inferno is a killer centrifugal clutch for $120 each. They are Nothing like the $20 clutches you are used to.

[@douglaschitwood8850]

Nice

[@GodschildinNC]

Nice build! Put a front brake on it, so that you Rev the engine against the brakes, for a better take off. When you build it up, raise the engagement speed of the converters for a better take off

[@jacewarnicke823]

And burnouts

[@karnesrussell]

You will need to wair a Nut Cup to ride that. Just add thicker foam on what you have already. Good luck and have fun with it. It'll be fine 🤠

[@JarrodBush-Creator]

You want to let the solvent flash off and the rubber cement to dry on both sides before laying down the foam. Instant bond that way. Usually 7ish minutes for the glue to be ready.

[@michaelhamburg9804]

The seat just paints a funny picture when you’re slid all the way back…. Loving it!!!

[@brandonfloyd6321]

Put that material in a pillow case and put in dryer. They turn stretchy while warm. Gotta work quick. That's how I've did my last couple seat covers. Learned that trick from KZbin.

[@bryduhbikeguy]

Thnx.Needed that tip myself.

[@igokarts4510]

Charles has the Dean and Hank Venture vibe going on in the thumbnail pic.

[@tough101]

Such an amazing mini bike! Huge fan!

[@Joel.Ravet88]

Ironically I was watching the 3 seater video from 11 days ago as of today, and this popped up! 😁😎 keep it going guys!

[@josephwantz4035]

You guys should definitely do a stage kit on them things that thing would be so fast I love your guys's videos by the way and I appreciate you guys making them cuz you guys teach me a lot when it comes to mechanics

[@gmfb33024]

Love this idea miss u guys hitting the track long live the rail car

[@jeffrykopis5468]

I'm excited about this one! And I'm 56 freakin' years old! Never grow up, boys. I didn't!

[@ryankopera7505]

You gotta build these engines! Great content guys!

[@SheDevilsGarage]

Looks awesome guys fantastic job she rips hella good

[@davidkuhn3058]

I would love to see a show specifically about what cutting tools you use.... like cutting wheels, Sawzall blades, ect. Brands and how long they last... curious if ever you've had a cutting wheel come apart and what damage it did.... I ask because alot of us like to get advice from real pros like you guys. Best show on the internet!

[@jamierushing8811]

Hi y’all and Charles from west Alabama love y

[@ЕвгенийЗадорожний-з8к]

fantastic minibike. you are awesome! looking forward to continuing

[@sirpressed9424]

Been following this project & many other of your great builds good work guys love it.I have an idea i don't know if this as been posted before.Wire all your cut offs to 1 switch on the bars or where ever.Because if you get a run away you will just be able to kill all 3 instantly.Also you won't have to walk down the bike turning the 3 engines off & on.Take care fellas & all the best.

[@alexytgaming4543]

You guys should add a rpm tach to see the max rpm because it looks fast keep up the good work guys

[@l.greenemachine66]

yes! You're finally doing what I hope you would,a drag bike! You guys are going to kick butt with that thing for sure!

[@mayberickcanfixit7468]

I love it! Its like the Mullet of mini bikes.

[@DavesWhips]

Yall need to run all the exhausts together! you would get a different note every time bc the firing order would be different lol

[@hill8203]

Great video Can’t wait to see it on the strip. That back tire you got planned has me scratching my head. I’m sure you guys will pull it off. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@garthpaul6216]

Slick tyre or .... Sandpaddle !

[@TwoGunToast]

I wouldve put two hinges on the side of the seat rather than one on the front. I can already see it somehow falling on my head the way you guys have it hahah

[@williamramsey4431]

Crazy build. TRIPLE TURBO!!!!!!!!

[@olekaarvaag9405]

It is the embodiment of minimalistic jank and I love it.

[@scottmoodysr9449]

That's pure awesomeness 👌

[@shrapnut7612]

I've had good luck with Super 77, I usually wait until both sides get VERY tacky, then you get 1 chance to line things up and lay it down. It gets instant bonding and you don't have to put pressure on them over night, just get the pieces right and put a knee or stand on it, that's all it takes. Dig the vids, keep em coming good work.

[@sandmanbub]

One more suggestion. Rake the front end. It'll be more stability in a straight line. I've done this to most of the drag bikes I've raced on and a few of the ones I've built for others. I'd like to see you guys touring the different drag strips. I'd be at each one in Maryland and also Maple Grove in PA. Please let us all know if you decide to do this. Your fans live all over the U.S.

[@ThatPartyDog]

Hey Ike John and Charles I have two honda dirt bikes both are pretty much just good rollers both engines have been removed and partly disassembled. Frames are perfect. if want em you can have em. Free of charge. One is a XR185 other is from what I can tell a XR100. they're rough been in the woods for years. I'd be honored to have yall as guests in the shop they would be a perfect tilitson 212 racing engine build or something else. Years are 1979 and 1976.

[@jeffrykopis5468]

40 years ago, Russ Collins had a MONSTER 3-engine (Honda 750s, I believe) Top Fuel bike, called Sorcerer. He crashed it, but survived. You could call this Sorcerer Jr, lol.

[@benjaminshelton885]

Yes he did survive the first crash. The second was fatal though. He was spinning the tire so much faster than the bike when he let off after the 1/4 the wheel caught traction and flipped the bike backward crushing him against the pavement. If I remember correctly he crossed the trap around 140mph.

[@jeffrykopis5468]

@@benjaminshelton885 Oh, I never knew that 😔

[@jeffrykopis5468]

@@benjaminshelton885 Wasn't he the first guy to hit 200mph in the quarter mile on a bike? The current Pro Stock bikes have only reached that speed about 5 years ago (Hector Adana Jr. was first). I remember when Elmer Trett died at Indy in 96, blown off the bike at 230mph. NHRA banned all Top Fuel bikes for 15+ years after that.

[@taylorshattuck5826]

[@briangingerich7632]

I'd build up the front to lay against like a street bike, great build it looks like a blast!

[@SketchyBuiltEm2]

love this content

[@theejabroni]

Definitely needs one of those stupidly long wheelie bars with a skateboard wheel on the end lol. Proper sick love it

[@stevedunning2843]

hey guys,when you make seats,instead of using self tapping screws,put some 1/4 -20 tnuts in the wood,and use bolts---you'll find after awhile that the self tappers will get loose,especially when the seat is meant to hinge---and someone else said use something instead of nuts/bolts at the rear--i was thinking a spring loaded pin into a hole drilled into your mounting bracket (i actually am an upholstery guy,and a mini bike guy,too!)

[@MegaKencam]

I ran across a bunch of neoprene knelling pads on clearance. They were nice and thick so I bought all of them. They make great seats. No layering needed.

[@wildman8215]

this is one cool bike so fun watching it in action

[@walterlarson5709]

That stash is killer john

[@SuperHamsterGaming]

Charles has that Commander Keen helmet.

[@dbomber69]

I still think a 3 seat drift trike would be the ultimate thrill ride. Plus it would look pretty cool going down the street.

[@awright9183]

Hey guys, hope alls well. Just a quick couple of comments. I live in Australia, and I've found a f1 kart from the 80s called a Malibu kart in your country. The point is, I found that they ran a 120hp 606 Rotary engine that looked pretty awesome. Just thought id through it out there incase you guys have more luck then I'm have down under finding one. Also I've been a subscriber since you guys started and seen all your builds... One thing I've noticed is that no one online is meshing a go kart that has a petrol engine and electric front wheels for acceleration. I'm not sure if that would even work, just thought I'd through it out there. Now, time to kick back and watch the new adventure. Stay well guys, Ad from Oz. 🙃👎🇦🇺

[@walkermediaworx]

This is one of my favorite builds

[@markmoats5702]

So pretty much the seat y'all built is a nut buster lol

[@Doggo_Bork]

You could probably drill out the back 2 bolts on the seat and use some clips instead of nuts so fueling doesn't need a tool every time

[@jeffrykopis5468]

Wing nuts.

[@Doggo_Bork]

@@jeffrykopis5468 I was thinking more like hood pins slotted through the bolt. Wont loosen with vibrations and if its the right size it shouldn't slip out.

Probably be a good idea to make a kill switch that turns all engines off at once

Probably be a better idea to make a kill switch. I have no idea what a kell switch is.

[@Earth11111]

Not needed though it would be a commodity

[@jeci8909]

Oh yes them darn kell switches be necessary

[@corygilbert5666]

I agree on adding a kill switch. Also, you could wrap thin wire around the spark plug wire, perhaps the pulses are strong enough to induce a slight current and could be used indirectly to blink some dash mounted LEDs. Like the tiny ones. This could passively displaying which engine is running without taping into the 600v ignition pulses.

[@shanedavis7684]

this is purely amazing, thank yall for the videos 👌🏻

[@larrybreuer4495]

Replace those handle bars with a set of drag bars…it will let you get a lot lower. Nice build guys! 👍👍❤️

[@Geequed]

I'm looking forward to the upgrades. Better clutches, exhaust, governor removal, carburetors, better brakes, slick on the back wheel, proper gearing, paint and most importantly naming and putting a racing inspired "nose guard" on the front...with racing numbers and all. niiiice.

Naw, one driver front and center on a solo seat, 2 guys slightly behind him on a bench seat, between or above the rear wheels.

[@johndudley1800]

Thats kool.i made a crazy trike from a leal blowing machine and couple bikes 20 years back.it was direct drive and kill motor to stop or it stopped when i hit old junk car too but it was hell on the bike front end.oh well still alive and kicking.have fun

[@Snake.br549]

Definitely join the intakes and the exhaust balance the engines run three carburetors or if you could build a good enough intake run one big carburetor and three into one muffler make it a lot easier to tune and probably get more power

[@MISTERR0BOT0]

if you are going to cover it carpet padding foam makes good seats too. I forget how much it was but they have big roles near the carpet at home depot

[@dankrafted]

a new front end with a proper disc brake would be a useful addition too. loving this crazy project

[@TheStevenchambers]

I think it'd be really cool to watch you make a small drag strip with the tractor you guys have. It doesn't have to be something crazy but you already have a circle track a smooth dirt track stretch would be a cool video to make and watch

[@jerryyoder877]

Anyone else see Charles holding that tire like a baby😂😂

[@allensandven0]

Like all top fuel drag bikes the slipping of the clutch disks are necessary to keep the drive train from exploding . That’s a bit of a stretch in terms of comparison , however once you buy all the performance parts and machining time to get all the necessary tolerance’s port,polished, balanced , blueprinted and a tripple shot of nos with a nitro methane backer to wash it down you’ll have a respectable mini drag bike at about the same cost and performance of a well used r6 or equivalent but the cool factor is where it shines

[@jamesbarley7463]

Yes here we go!!
