What do you think of the longer videos we have been making lately?
There much better
loving the electric stuff more myself, but all your vids are great
Love it ,
Good
It would be cool if you build a 8x8 or 6x6 power wheels truck
This is the type of content that basically has to be 30+ minutes if you actually want us to see everything because these vids are days-weeks of work and we’re only seeing short cuts. Top tier video🔥
Honestly that was a day or less to build. Not exactly complicated. But when you are doing a truly large build it has to be broken up

As much as being a Hooligan is fun I liked the fact that these dudes where like " the cool cop said not to take it on the street so we're not gonna take it on the street." Respect! That was pretty stand up of you guys!
Being friendly with authorities, especially in small, rural places that everyone knows each other is critical, when you're doing sketchy shit :D
Bike lanes me
Very cool of all involved. Let's be realistic though, they knew what they were doing was going to be frowned upon by law enforcement - they arent stupid!
Dude in drive thru not giving a crap made my day. 😂
Thanks so much for the Power Wheels content. You've become the foremost resource on PW mods. Now I can't wait for the 6x6 Power Wheels.
There is a fancy G-Wagon Power Wheels... 🤔 It's the perfect candidate. 🤣
This might be my favorite vehicle so far! The camera work just gets better and better. The content is "Premium" as always and he can build anything, I swear.
Oh yeah, the B roll is frign sweet
Premium is always better than anything else in the world

Bored this morning flipping through KZhead videos before I go to work and just came across this episode which is friggin awesome and definitely had to like & sub! A long time ago I thought about trying to build a crazy Power Wheels car with a 50cc dirt bike engine but only got as far as building a complete steel frame to start with before I ran into some financial hiccups. I ended up selling the frame I made which was bomb proof & crazy overbuilt for what I was using it for. Anyways, this episode got me motivated again and I would definitely like to find that frame if it still exists and finish what I started so, we'll see what happens. Thanks for getting me motivated again, guys I'm super stoked about possibly continuing my build
Step 1: have money
It's cheap not gonna lie

Step 1: hate money!
It’s cheap… if you have the parts and tools already.
You should have an adjustment on the tailstock that will take out the taper. In your case you'll need to move the tailstock toward the back of the lathe. Measure how much taper you have and divide by one them put an indicator at the end of the part and move the tailstock that many thousands and lock the tailstock back in place. The adjustments will be on the base of the tail stock and you'll have an allen head set screw on both sides and a locking set screw to lock the tailstock once it's been adjusted. You'll want to have the tailstock lightly tightened so it can move when you adjust the set screws. I'm sure you see how it works just by looking at it. Of course as you mentioned it's not a cure all since the lathe is pretty worn out. You can also rest a heavy piece of brass against the part from the backside which helps take out chatter and will help keep the part from pushing away from the tool. Oh and be sure to use an insert with at most a 1/64th radius.
I'm absolutely impressed that the power wheel frame withstood that much abuse. What a fun build to watch.
First time I've watched in a while, got to see it all start to finish instead of little snippets. Love the channel guys.
Absolutely keep the longer videos going! Loving every second of them.
I love that the bike path makes for a perfect scaled down two lane road to rip on for it. The lack of suspension must be fun for the tailbone 😅

bro i agree, the shots look like mini rollers lmaoooo
That bike path aftet the cops caught you was the perfect place to shoot this beast. The lane markings and the beautiful backdrop made it.
This is the vid that introduced me to this channel and it's still one of my favorites. I can't wait to see more of the little power wheels.
These videos really make me want to make something! Then i remember i dont have a shop or know how to do any of this 😂
Personally I enjoy the longer vids, you guys always build some of the coolest stuff on the planet. The humvee pull and burn out were awesome, keep the fun coming 👍🇺🇸🤘🔥🔥🔥🔥
I'm addicted by the content and the challenges that occur during the builds, doesn't matter how long the video is. You guys have definitely overcome many issues in these builds, with a very great success rate. I'm sure a lot of viewers would love to spend some time at this property. I know I'd love to put in work and learn about these projects! Thanks for sharing the content! Y'all are killing it!
Im down...let's goooooo!!
The grind hard guys need to make a drift car it would be sick!!!
Honestly I think it would be just amazing just to build the power wheels in general and then be able to take it to a race track
Really enjoy the long form videos
Sure they could find a go kart track to blast this around
I would bye it from them if I had the money
New motorsport? Modified powerwheels on full size racetracks would be friggin awesome!
It's called go carting lmao
This is the reason youtube was created, and these guys make quality content. Always amazing ideas and creative beyond belief! Grind hard!! 💪
I agree
Great job , and that's how you tow a 7,000 pound humvee, on little to none rubber tires , just awesome , was the gears still working good after that , cause if so , that's another awesome thing , it didn't even break a thing ...... awesome guys ....
Lol the best you guys .....i was feeling kinda sick and turned to you guys and forgot i was sick, lol until it was over , which i still had enough energy to smile 😊, oh and said thank you....
I don’t think a lot of people realize how much time is really going into these videos. It’s not a 1 day thing this it something that takes weeks sometimes even months. Really love these guys a lot been watching them since the first video and will always watch them.
What motor was used for this build
I know, 46 minutes is nothing when you consider how much work has been done. Class act guys, really enjoyed this video!
I can't believe those plastic wheels held up so well. So awesome!
That's what a engineering safety factor of like 12 does for ya. Kids toys and things that we know people are going to abuse are built to insane factors like that so it's actually hard to even try to hurt yourself with it.
No clickbait quality video! Great job and congrats for keepin it real!
I have the 750W EP2 PRO engwe and I love it - its my daily ride for my commute to and from work. HIGHLY recommend. Great vid lads, really entertaining
This was fantastic. I love that you don't care about the motivation type. Gas, electric, whatever. Crazy is crazy and fast is fast. Keep up the good work.
Yeah, they got bad advice for their first electric attempt. The guy who was advising them posted about it in an EV conversion forum I'm in and got roasted hard, and a while later GHPC called off the project, which was sad. The motor they're using is super popular right now, and it looks like they had someone professionally build the battery for them. I'm glad to see good EV conversion representation, as are my EVersion friends.
Which motor is it?
@@kkuhn they have a link to their US supplier in the description. I believe it's a QS Motors 138 90H, but it might be another motor type by QS Motors since they all appear very similar.
You guys need to take this to the next Cleetus & Cars at The Freedom Factory and enter it into the burnout competition. Take the limo down and hook it to that for the smoke show. It'll be a HUGE hit.
They should make like 2 more and bring down 3 there.
That’d be amazing to see🤣🤣🤣
i appreciate that the driver puts himself in peril so i can slack off at work... bravo
Sketchy to cool ratio is off the charts! By far the best since the mini boat!
Yip for sure
Ethan is like the father that every kid wished to have! :) good work!!
lol going through the drive through. It's the little touches that make these videos so much better.
Probably been mentioned in the comments already, but get whats called a moving steady for your lathe for turning long shafts. It fits on the dovetails of the sliding bed and has rollers or bronze tips that rest on the shaft directly opposite the cutting tool. It moves along with the tool post as you cut and keeps the shaft true and stops it flexing when you push the cutter against it. A must have to turn shafts accurately, even on an old lathe it will be a lot easier and way more accurate.
Follow rest or follower rest
Love it man
@@SecretaryBootyyJuice Call it what you like brother, but in the UK they are usually known as a moving steady....it's all good either way👍
Steady rest
Led me to think
Now this is one of the coolest things you have done
That policeman was very respectable, informing people, making sure nothing reckless is going on and continuing on his way.
full episodes like this I'm loving it especially since it's great content from start to finish.
I convey to you the greetings of the President of the Orange State
Loving these almost hour long videos guys!!!!!!!! Keep ‘em coming and deff want to see another one on the diesel limo!!!!!
More to come!
@@GrindHardPlumbingCo what would be a rough total cost of parts like 3k?
Maybe cheaper for me to just buy a real go kart and do a body swap
@@Partnerthedoghat's the quick and easy way which isn't really their style, they like to custom build to their needs and high performance options are limited and expensive.
@@MicRuLerZ yeah but the video is titled "how to" when this isn't a at home job lol. I found super nice track Go-Karts for 1500$ all over the place, 2 stroke ones. It would be easy to throw a plastic body on one. That's a how to video
I love how the bike path makes it look scale!!
Damn burning rubber simply amazing 🤩😤
I don't know why but I want to see Build a power wheel of six-by-six who agrees with me who thinks that would be cool to see?
The way that cop showed so much respect for you guys was awesome. Please Please build more , a pack of them tearing around would be so much fun to watch. So good thanks a heap.
This dude is a legend, the door came off so easy and nothing broke! Thank you!
Any video you guys put out is going to be a banger. Hope you guys are having a good summer!
Absolutely love it, actually looked like that bike path was the perfect sized road for it as well 😂. Loving the ebikes as well, that M20 in green looks premium with the brown saddle! 👌
I love the rotating assembly at 22:20 that allows you to mill circular things.
That's a dividing head. A similar device is a rotary table.
I love how quiet it is. I know that makes it more dagerous. But driving that thing around neighborhoods late at night would be sooooo fun
When hes driving on the bike path it just looks like he's a giant driving around like a maniac
Out of all the insane machines you guys have put together this one terrifies/excites me the most.
I know you guys are starting to make longer form videos, but I’m sorry….. I’m gonna need longer ones😂😂
That bike lane ride near water was so perfect! Felt like it was an original Porsche commercial just with a gaint driver sitting inside the car.
Guys this was an AWESOME video Thanks for keeping it family friendly too!
It would be sweet if yall turned that into the first street legal powerwheels! Keep up the incredible work!
Love it. And you guys are constantly outdoing yourselves. Wow. So much fun to watch. Looking forward to when you finally put your minds together to make the ultimate ultra light weight electric vehicle.
These guys are the bomb! Talk about craftsmanship and brilliant minds at work. Absolutely fascinating video experience. The worse part of the video is them burning out the car and destroying the little car.
This is the BEST video I’ve ever seen. You guys are living right.
Wow, is that a Porsche McLaren Aston Martin? Super rare and awesome! In all seriousness though, killer build!
Always taking it to another level guys! I’m working on my son Tacoma power wheel right now and this video is inspiring!
The power wheel towing was such a good idea! What a sick sight lmao!!
I guess it doesn’t get as boring up there in Sandpoint, ID. as one might imagine Keeping yourself entertained, nice job Wish I had that conversion for my daughters VW BUG 🤣 I use to love driving it around the neighborhood with my little girl
This is one of the coolest hot wheels cars ever! This one as a street hot wheels is cool! I’d love to see big sprocket top speed! Or salt flats world record fastest electric hot wheels car world record!
Best VIDEO EVER!!!!! that was some classy production work and incredible engineering as always. Far out you guys are beyond what I thought was possible with having fun. This excites me 😂
This is so cool!!! Being that low to the ground going that fast has go to be a complete adrenaline rush!!
Great video . Him chasing you with the 🧯 yelling “YEAHHH ITS FASTER “ was my favourite part lol
The fact that this man has a zipline going inbetween Sheds/Houses looks so much fun
Unreal how sick this thing is! I can’t believe it hasn’t blown the wheels apart… unbelievable how good it is…
This just turned out freaking amazing, I actually want one of those kits to build a EV dirtbike. Will is definitely trying to muscle up 🤣 Edwin still killing it with the drone and Ethan bro your a mad scientist with these things and a legend! Keep it up guys loved this
Electric Dirtbike builds are AWESOME. I just finished doing a 3000w 72v kit on a razor mx650 and it’s the most fun toy I’ve ever played with. I geared it down a little bit and it goes 45!
@@johnsherby9130 The modded MX650 community is so nice, welcome.
I've been wanting to do something like this for years, I think it's about time I finally do it
that burnout was absolutely legendary what a unit
Btw:As a Lathe operator,I can tell you you Have to have an adjustable center bearing for spinning axles over 3'.They aren't balanced and will vibrate.That's what happened.Also a higher speed of rotation and slower feed of the tool gives you the cleaner cuts on bearing surfaces.
You guys are having way too much fun. In my next life, I want to come back as a Gring Hard Plumbing employee, so my days can be full of destruction and construction while having a great time at the same time. Loved when the PoPo realized that it was only Nathan out goofing around. Because his son makes him watch your videos. To funny.🤣🤣
I have been mulling over the idea of turning some vbb vespa parts i have laying around, into a mini e vespa. Really good build video.
I have to say, i love and wish i had a couple of cool close buddies that all are equally inclined to build, fix, and do stuff, where we often put our brains together and come up with some of the best builds, fixes, customization, just good ol stuff, and have fun while doing it, but its just me here, oh and now you guys on here that i partner with as if we are all part of the same team, if only you guys knew i was apart of the team and would connect with me, and actually knew my name or whatever you guys want to call me, nick names are cool, lol , but yeah im here, so at least i have yall as my KZhead buddies, smh ....but i love you guys and yall don't even have any idea, but the day ypu guys say , hey why don't you just come out here with us, i would pack my stuff and think no more, only to what time is the flight ✈️.....smh , do stuff like that ever happens in real life, probably vary rarely right, which would make it even more the best ever, well if you guys ever heard of Richmond VA, its a place where nothing ever happens out of the ordinary, like we hardly ever get the chance to be our best here, we all are marked to be what we are, no big opportunities or tv blessings like we see on tv, so we all are mostly dreamers, and often forgot about for the big stuff, the big chances , if we don't move , its never gone happen for us, smh so thank God for KZhead and the chance to live through you guys , its the best thing to living the real deal..... sincerely your new found fan liker and subscriber, that you guys have no idea of, smh even the chance to have one of you guys special builds would be next to Gods blessing that we get.....
Turned this on to kind of watch the highlights. Ended up watching the whole thing at 3AM! 😂 This longer episode is filmed well enough, this could be on television as a regular series. Well done. And this one was a lot of fun. 💪😎👍🔥
Definitely my kinda TV
Too good for TV!
There's an adjustment on the tailstock of the lathe to get the taper out. You'll see it on the bottom of the tailstock. If your 2 out move it one. Use a dial indicator.
The work you do is amazing! Very impressed with this video and looking forward to watching your other videos and upcoming
Y'all have came a long ways in the last 5 years. Love the channel
This power wheels car actually lives up to it's name. This one has the power! Sweet!
This is amazingly ingenious work! Absolutely brilliant ingenuity! I enjoy watching when the build is being tested, first. I then go back and watch the How To Build Your Own video, that you're kind enough to share with everyone.. If KNOWLEDGE is power. Then KNOWLEDGE and the GUTS to actually do something with it and then see it come to fruition, gives a real CLARITY. When you see something's POTENIAL, then you can see things for what they really are. How we are only LIMITED because we chose to live inside of a box of our own creation. You don't live in it or even think outside of it. You simply say...WHAT BOX! Keep up the amazing work and thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. If everyone freely shared they're knowledge, then everyone would then hold the power to NOT hold DOMINION over ANYONE. ''History is written by the one's who share they're knowledge, those who don't, are the TYRANTS they write about''.
Dude ...... Seriously? I've seen some cool videos on your channel, but this one just earned a subscriber!! This has to be one of the most unique ideas for a custom build/ingenuity driven unique creation video that I've seen yet! EDIT: but please for the love of everything that we hold dear. Nobody let your kid drive one of these 🤣 EDIT 2: thanks to KZhead Now men are able to make a living doing things they wish they could do when they were kids!
Thats awesome... need a race series with just these... would make an awesome kart race
That was a premium show lads I loved every minute of it ❤keep up the fantastic work 👍
Well done gents. This is a fun video. I have a friend who is 42" tall. Hes has an extremely rare form of dwarfism where he is proportionate in every way. He needs custom everything. I dont have a shop but im handy with tools and fabrication. I would LOVE to attempt a build like this. It would change his life at a fraction of the cost.
I just came across your channel. It's cool to see someone in my neck of the woods doin it. Good job boys. Love the content.
I really enjoyed seeing you guys turn a toy car into a hotrod/ drift missile . can't wait to see what you guy's are gonna do next, I just got out of surgery & even though i cant get around as much,I enjoyed seeing you & your friends having fun,wish you the very best on all your endeavors.G.M./NY.C.
That .. has got to be the most epic power wheels ever ! .. the fact that it looks so clean and stock going that insanely fast is just 😮 .. can't wait until it's going even faster 😎 too bad about the fender though 😞
I'll watch whatever you put out..I'm a fellow builder and I love watching your ideas come to life.keep up the good work.
This is amazing! I'd love to be able to drive it around my town
I came on you guys by accident. Very glad I did. Subscribed, love the content
You guys are good at what you do 🎉 I think it's a lot better with the longer videos cause you guys are so good at what you do 😅
Super cool. Reminds me of when I hooked up the EGO 56v battery to my sons mini monster 6v electric truck. Thing was super fast. Only part is it didn’t last long. Eventually the motor to the wheels burnt up but it was fun while it lasted. The smile on my sons face was priceless.
I used 20v power tool batteries, good middle ground of not killing the motors and having plenty of juice for riding around in grass at reasonable pace. I installed a cooling fan under the seat for longer run time. My kid loved it and could ride for over an hour non stop without issue, the battery barely even had a dent in charge status.
Bike path was pretty cool looked like a perfect road for the car
I wish you guys could help me fix my motorcycle so I could go back to work and take care of my wife and kids. I'm just not mechanically inclined enough to figure out exactly what is wrong with the thing. I have no other vehicle, and nobody wants to give me anything for it. I just wish I could get a vehicle running so I can work again... Christmas is going to suck for the kids this year as it is already... anyways, I love your content. keep up the amazing work. I love seeing what y'all will come up with.
I love the longer videos. We get to see more of what you guys are doing and not just little bits of it
This is so cool can’t wait to see what else you’s do to it it’s a shame the wheels blew and rear got a lil ripped up but surely nothing yous fellas can’t fix much love from Australia 🇦🇺 ❤
What a freakin cool gig you carved for yourselves. It's literally like being a kid again in every way. Fawesome...
WOW!! Man, I wish I could just grab go-cart, power wheel or anything like that, and just make it into a MONSTER SLEEPER!!!!! I wish I knew my way around all the tools and machinery like you!! Seriously man, you’re a fkn GENIUS MADMAN!!!!! 👏🏼👏🏼👌🏼💪🏼🔥🔥💯💯💯💯💯💯
Next level as always! Every time I think you guys have used up all the ideas you could ever have... you always come up with another one! Great video and work guys!
I'd like to suggest some baby airbags for suspension before you go all out. This was so much fun. I think you started a great trend. I think these needs to be a race category.
Baby airbags LOL
