I love this channel. Great group of guys. Crazy but awesome
Could you guys do a couple speaker builds?
I'm sad, I've wanted to have a grind hard project and when I heard about the 6x6 ranger I wanted it as my first ever car (getting my permit soon!) but I went to the website and was already out bidded, maybe one day I will get a project from them
Sad to see it go
you should sell it to the cboys
Will talking to the bird about concussions was hilarious.
My favorite part of the video hands down
I will remember that for a very long time
Hilarious and wholesome both. Helping the little bird out and being like "I know how you feel, man, it'll be alright" very true for will 😂
Watched it ~10 times, hilarious 😂😂
Will's spirit animal is a Drunk bird 🤔
Petition for Grind Hard to collab with Surronster and build that thing into a beast 🔥💯🇺🇸
Nah it needs a gas motor fuk this ev shi
I agree
And drift the streets of LA with it
Yeas
Yes. Do more extreme electric builds please. I’m talking more power than colonel.
That little machine is insane! The combination of it being silent, powerful, and small is simply perfect. Can't believe how well it can maneuver in the woods.
Is use 2 Washing machine Motor. 2HP
Im actually surprised at how well this worked with a battery upgrade
We were too!
They should still put the better motor in it though
now i want to see ethan get 4 electric motors and make each of them drive their own wheel with independent long travel suspension all around.
that would be so cool! and take it up the mountain and rockcrawl with 4-6 ppl in it for the ultimate test
@@StephanieOrion I just Googled it... cool little thing... it would help if you got the front-wheel drive optional, to save power for when you need to play...
@@StephanieOrion hell yea that sounds awesome
Or swap a 1000cc gsxr engine
going back through this series. Not gonna lie, it's close to my favorite series you all have done. Will and the camera guy are very much part of the crew, and add a TON of enjoyable content. Keep it up! Good luck at the Freedom 500!
I love how the motor controller is universal and just needs some wires connected together to set it to a different voltage.
yeah I look at getting one to mess with and they are for $8,000
@@EGGaming296You can get a 48/60/72V one like the one in the video for a couple hundred dollars Edit: or maybe you meant the entire car? For that money you can literally pick up a Citroen Ami, Opel Rocks-e or Fiat Topolino. Doubt it'd be that expensive?
@@swecreations when you go to get one imported that is where all your money is going it really only costs $900. but you still have to import it
I always love how enthusiastic will is about everything
Honestly, if the price was $2000 in USA and EU, and you only had to drive to pick it up and drive it away, and it was legal to drive (even if limited in speed), then a lot of people would buy it. Add a tiny silent 3-stroke or 4-stroke engine, and the circuits and electronics to recharge the battery while driving, then even at $4000, a lot of people would buy it as a commuter car with the possibility to use it even for a cross-country drive without having to wait hours every time you want to recharge, as long as you get enough fuel to have it recharge overnight.
Where would you add the generator? It's already very limited on space. But yes I believe this would be a good purchase.
maybe it is still better than a scooter, or safer 😂
Why in China everything cost 50% lest
@@carkawalakhatulistiwalow wages. That’s the key. Too expensive elsewhere. Or not enough funding in places with even cheaper wages than china.
That's not a cheap car. That's a badass golf cart.
:yes me: 🤣
You guys are amazing ive been following yall for years and i cant express how much you changed my life I can say for certain you guys got me into cars and building cool, super dangerous, awesome stuff thank you so much!!
And happy birthday to ethan!🎉
like this video!! the way you design This process is amazing! The little car is very well made, very powerful and the compactness is simply perfect. It's unbelievable how well it can move through the forest.
dude the editing in this video is actually preeeeeemium! well done fellas
It really does look like a 2/3 scale Bronco. It's so cool!
Or a 4/3 scalp Barbie Camper
It’s better than a Bronco..they’ve offroaded it and the steering didn’t break immediately!
It's actually based of the great wall motors tank 300
I hope Cleetus buys the 6Wheel Ranger as a prize for the Danger Ranger race.
That would be a beautiful thing to see
@Ethan- from one Ethan to another happy birthday and I’m hopeful for many more years of videos and insites to what a life you and your team has built at grind hard. Will get some ice man, I would’ve done the same thing full throttle is better than no throttle… right? All in all this was one of the BEST grind hard episodes to date, giving us an insite to who you/your team is as a community outside of just work, as always stay Premium boys
Drone shot backflip edit at 18:38 was clean, next try that to end a chase shot behind one of your builds for a crazy transition! You guys are killing it with the edits
It was so smooth, I was watching for it after seeing your comment and still missed it 😂 that was slick
Hope you had a great 🎂 birthday, looks like a fun time was had for sure. And the amount of fun you are having with that little truck is brilliant. Nothing but smiles and laughs 👍
looks like a really large rc. maybe that could be the next project on it, make it remote control!
i got a few good laughs in this episode with the little tank. Cant wait to see more with this thing lol, need to buy a second one for parts and swap a motor into the front for full-time 4x4
13:07 Nick Kingswell - Never Lost 14:24 Susie D7 - Our Little Adventure It would be nice if you included music names Grind Hard.
It's about time you bought one of these. Many big KZheadrs already have a similar car (pickup-version), but no one has really "tuned" (improved) it yet.
Belated Happy Birthday Ethan ! It was great to see so many show up to celebrate.The new tank looks fun.You forgot the new 'lap time'.
Im just glad to be a part of these guys adventures. So dope. 🎉🎉🎉🎉
I'm jealous, seems like a fun bunch of bros and that property is a total motorsports playground
what were you guys thinking, with sam in the car it was always going to roll... should have had a camera on that at all times :D
You guys are crazy !!...... thanks for taking us along on all the rips !!
Remind me when I took my cousins club car golf cart through his woods. I did surprisingly good although I did get a stick stuck in the frame. Good job on the video. Also, I’m surprised you Guys didn’t get the truck one
These chinese rear axles like the one that you have there are just so impressive when it comes to torque at low rpm. I bought a little chinese offroad buggy with the same Rear-axle-diff thing and it is a beast when I drive it steep uphill or in a uneven forest.
Chinese off road buggy?
Yes, its a little Electric car with offroad suspension. Looks a little bit like a Willys Jeep and has the exact same looking rear axle.
You guys inspire me to wanna do stuff like this 🤣
Great job on the video folks! Thanks for making it.
You guys are Awesome to watch love your Channel 😊 keep up the Amazing Work !!! You guys always have the craziest ideas !!!!
I already know this is gonna be a banger!
I'd be in heaven working with you guys so much fun to be had
Always look forward to your videos, never know what to expect, never disappointed!
Love your stuff, keep up the good work
Only GHPC can have jumping over a bonfire with a dirt bike AS B-ROLL FOOTAGE 😂 That's the level of awesomeness they have.
Of course if Sam drove it he broke it. Sam kills everything whether it's his or not.
Oh yeah
Sam is GHP's Hert (Hoonigan).
I can’t believe it happened again
This content is so epic! Keep it coming! Keep the sent and bent podcast coming too!!
So impressive it had the beans to go up that hill, stock, with Will in it. WAIT!! BOTH of You! 😲The downhill was scary but Will didn't fold. He knows. Don't panic, follow the line and STAY OFF the Brakes! Excellent driving, Will!! If the traction is there, it can do it. Let's make it better. 😉
$1500. Did you buy it used. They are 8k on the electric import site
You have to make this electric car like the barbie van. Long suspension and a crazy motor.
Been waoting to see this thing for ages. Its hilarious. Love to see a grind hard plumbing drift build.
10:52 I just noticed that they have a Compuware no. 3 C5.R power wheels hung up on the wall. I had one as a kid.
Now you got a fake Bronco, now ya need a REAL Ford Fiesta, and set it up to go amateur rallying FOR REAL. Team GHPC.
That would be amazing, so down
Go for it! I bet Ethan would volunteer to be the driver...Maybe you as co-driver Edwin? @@GrindHardPlumbingCo
The fun part is, that you can buy one and make a remote controlled Military ground drone out of it. Just put some optics and a 50 cal on it and it would be cool. Better than all of the other Military drones which cost around 250000 dollars per drone.
The tiny tank is definitely a keeper. Now if only you could improve the storage, it would make a great camper
Thumbs up for Cars and Bids, great place to do business. Good luck with the sale!!
man you guys always have the best projects.
Nice weekend after all, 30 minutes of your videos it's like a all day of fun for me really enjoy 😂🎉
This is the first video I have seen in a long time that actually makes me laugh out loud 😂😂 I love it so much
Now for a motor that's still 72 volts but way higher amps, up to the max the battery will safely put out. Invest in a thermal imager though and make sure the thermals are ok, don't want a fire
I really like the editing in this video it looks awesome!
I'm really a fan of your videos I never bought anything from your videos but I love all your videos and love all the things you do. Video you should do build electric tank
You guys are awesome. Love your channel.
I want one of those TANK's now! it needs a 2nd powertrain up front with some homebrew knuckles and CV's and stuff.
silicone ear plugs make good diff lockers on small stuff. still have a little for shock on drive train . great vid guys
Finally seeing the little red monster, definitely lived up to the hype! Thing looks rad!
Thanks for sharing 😀👍
I love the Tank grill and headlights. If you don’t know what Tank is.. it’s China’s off-road brand of body on frame 4x4s. The Tank 300 is one of few Chinese vehicles I wish was sold in North America. It’s beautiful. Also… those look like 4Runner TRD wheels. Haha
Oh man Will airing down the front tires probably added more resistance 😅 your power curve at full throttle is below the 65 odd volts the speed controller is rated for in the smart car & not the "72v" lipo batteries. But since it dipped below 68v on max acceleration voltage demand but as soon as you let off the volts on the lipo go up to whatever the battery max charge is at. In a 72volt battery 50% charge is 72v exactly & low volt cut off is like 63v so the operational voltage range is very restricted being a 72v max charge would be 84v. So it wouldn't even lasted that long before you'd need to charge to 75% again not even worth draining a lipo to lvc "Dead" it literally will cut your battery longevity in half too. Thats awesome that it was already wired for 72v though just a little switch of a wire! Very entertaining video guys right up my alley! Cheers from Colorado!!
This is my favorite channel you guys inspire me to work on my own projects and im so sad d media went to trash they have so much potencial
Those trucks have a barrel switch built into the door latch. They get stuck from over greasing. Spray a ton of silicone spray into the latch assembly , slam the door ,spray, slam, repeat till chime stops. Your welcome.
👍👍 Never let the magic smoke out of the wiring 💨. Oops, too much fun, roll over, where is the in car camera footage. Amazed that little car stayed together.... next step 4 wheel drive?
roll cage, engine swap, suspension, wheels and it will be premium cant wait to see what you do with it. :)
Great little machine Happy birthday man great show ✌️
This is so cool! More of this please! 😁
The episode was a blast to watch 😂 looks like so much fun!
Ive been waiting for a video like this for so long
Get yourselves another motor / rear axle and build a little truck bed for it. Could even slap some tracks on the rear. Might notbe a proper tank, but it'll do as a halftrack :)
Happy birthday Ethan! Your party looks so premium!
You guys just can’t make bad content..everything’s good!
Curious what motor/controller is in the electric CRG go kart in the background?
I do a lot of electrical work as a maintenance tech. The smoke conversion cracked me up. When someone smokes a motor at work we always tell them, “well you aren’t supposed to let the smoke out” 😂😂
Happy Birthday man!!!!!
Grind Hard boys never disappoint!
Man i love this channel! Discovery can't touch this🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
This is amazing! It's like an adult sized power wheels!!
Grind hard test track?! cant wait to see more of that
You guys put the Chinese "old folk's joy" to a new limit....such a great works and fun.😆
Something clicked for me watching this and now I want a GHPC collab with Jason Torchinsky from The Autopian.
Another great episode guys .
At 1:00 I love how you can see the monster cooper in the reflection 😂
I really wanna get a chang li and mod it now XD That looks like so much fun!!
i'm ev enthusiast. I'll suggest u to 1. Change the controller to 72v support such Votol EM-150 / Nanjing Fardrive 2. change the battery into 72v Lifepo4 , 100Ampere will be outstanding. using the softpack. 3. See the difference Change my mind, make the new content after you read this comment
That "shakedown" made me laugh. That was good😂
Yessss, another reason to wait for next episod
This is awesome This is the best We love you guys Yeah Yall Definitely do the coolest stuff ever
Nice Bronco!!
You need to get a second axle and modify it to steer and add it to the front and upgrade both bldc motors to like 2500w or more
love the vids keep up the good work
Long Willie is pure gold. The shake down test😂😂😂😂 hahahahaha.
"Do you experience jealousy when you see a child driving around in a Power Wheels? Well, we have the car for you!" This is literally an adult Power Wheels. Okay, 'adult' is being generous. This is an immature adult Power Wheels. Needless to say, I absolutely love it.
The flip is wholesome content I love it
Hahahahaha, "I know how concussions feel...it sucks"' - Will ( THAT TOTALLY NEEDS TO GO ON SWEATERS, SHIRTS, HATS) THIS HAS TO BE ONE OF THE MOST HILARIOUS VIDEOS ON GRIND HARD PLUMBING!!!!!
after listening to the pod cast ive been eagerly waiting for this❤
Take that controller apart and look for the "shunts" lay some solder between it and you will notice a huge increase in torque
finally some real car content from my favourite channel 😂
You're the most honest car salesman!
Sam rolls everything (RBW's Grave Ninja)! 😁
