Seeing this machine on this channel has taught me that it’s possible to be completely surprised, and completely unsurprised at the same time. That beast is incredible! Looking forward to part 2!!
Unlimited budget, unlimited resources, unlimited possibilities. The Cybertruck is super heavy from the start. R&D for some serious out of the box engineering. Awesome to watch. Crazy interesting build. Hope you guys can get that thing to finally hold up so the rest of us can get to see the ultimate snow machine succeed...rooting for you guys.
Sticking those treads out 16 to 18 inches is a tremendous lever with all the weight of that truck. I can't imagine the torque loads on the suspension in that configuration.
@@jesperwall839 those kinds of spacers, and/or deeply offset wheels put the same kind of ridiculous overhung load on spindles & such, wearing out ball joints or worse much faster than normal. Also, it may be 'weak' from the factory, as many vehicle components are- especially when new, but that's the "joy" of R&D.
@@jesperwall839 bruhhh.. the CG of those tracks is out like 2-3ft from the factory wheels, most mall crawlers put 3-4" spacers and a slight offset and call it a day. Any vehicle especially one with IFS would fold like a pretzle with a similar setup, especially if it weighed the >8k lbs the cybetruck does. With that being said, the A frame design on the cybertruck is absolute shit, a Toyota Camry has a more beefy design.
Absolutely blown away by the incredible setup that Dave has orchestrated! Making it all come together seamlessly from the start is no small feat, my respect goes out to the entire team for their impressive work! Nice 1guys
The logistics of just getting it there, out when broke, back in shop, fixed, loaded then back to the snow etc etc has to be an insane amount. You could have a whole other channel on that alone!😮, Amazing.
You have so much extra leverage on that suspension part since you extended the hub and moved the tracks that far out. It's simply not designed for that. There is a great business opportunity for someone to design and fabricate all those parts as a kit for the Cybertruck.
Yes, very true. Ideally, a whole set of more robust parts can be made to accommodate this application. Also, it may be a good option for very hard core off-roading with either bigger tires, or stock tires.
Yup. Bits that were designed to deal with essenitally a vertical load are now seeing a major shear load from all that leverage. I'd be worried about the frame around the upper wishbone tearing itself apart without any reinforcement
The cost of manufacturing wouldn't even be worth it for the ONE person who would buy a Cybertruck to convert to this. If you want a Snowcat for the snow - you buy a purpose built machine. No one that could purchase a Cybertruck would buy this.
Epic build! Never liked the look of the Cybertruck but the Cybertrax is next level cool! Love the snow digital camo wrap also. Sad that factory parts are not beefy enough. Final break did not even seem like Dave was going fast down that hill.
The wide tracks, and pushing back against that angle of the spindle is MASSIVE ammount of preasure and leverage... I saw that snapping and thinking it was going to be the FIRST thing to snap... I though, all its going to take is the outside of that track to go up a rock or something, and SNAP that very tall spindle fast.... That is going to require a full heavy duty custom spindles to work right..
AG2 maybe? 😅 if you actually know how many ads are blasted at you from the moment you woke up it would change your life... the direction is up to you. How many brand names can you spot in a single pass of your own home 🤭🤫
Started with putting massive lifts and axles on everything to putting tracks on vehicles that have no business being on tracks. I love it! Keep it up Dave!! Your crew in the shop is killing it!!!
The wrap makes it look sooo much better. Those custom made parts for the suspension are going to be copied by every aftermarket supplier out there - the extra loading out sideways of the tracks, it's a lot of leverage. You're finding the parts that will break for anyone taking the Cybertruck seriously off road.
Regarding missing parts, there was an issue with the plastic hub cap wings rubbing against the tire causing accelerated wear on the sidewalls. I believe the hubcaps are going to be delayed for new owners until they reengineer the new hubcaps.
I'd give it a better than expected rating. Hopefully the failure points you've seen won't become issues for owners who just go for bigger wheels and tires. Looks wicked cool though and you guys will get it dialed in for a good thrashing soon I'm sure. 👍
The size of the wheels doesn't matter, the problem is the length of the wheel hub. This means that an estimated five times as much force is exerted on the suspension
The fab skill level is impressive every build is more n more impressive, to watch these guys in the shop is mental I would love to be there in person to see the in n outs... What a crew
Love how you guys are not afraid to bash and praise the cybertruck where it is deserved. It is hard to find videos of people to speak beyond their love or hate of the truck.
Amazing effort. Front control arms break, we'll design and fabricate new ones. Real steering fails. no problem we'll do the same redesign work. Maybe some people don't realize the effort this type of work takes, but then again there's many that do.
Such a friggen cool project and such a great feeling to know that ELON is excited about modifications to his product. You folks are sincerely rocking it out of the park with your modifications,,somebody with a pair actually took the risk. What a ride for the snow.
Engineering is applied Maths and applied Physics. Without Maths and Physics, you aren't Engineering anything. You are still building, fabricating, assembling, modifying, etc, but you are not Engineering.
The suspension work was definitely my favorite part of this video. How difficult was it to disable the air suspension? I was concerned that the user interface would freak out once its upgraded to real suspension but it seems to work just fine here.
represents well done as always gentleman i felt like i wanted to be right there with you while I’m watching all of these wrecker games youtube videos i’m sure i’m posting this in the wrong place but i had to tell you from one of your Canadian fans AWESOME Job from every perspective
Amazing! Thanks for do this! I'm sure people that live in the artics and extreme cold areas would love to have something like this. After making your improvements, then hopefully you guys can make lots of sales from this.
@@montegrifo You should put on your thinking hat, and not let others do the thinking for you. The cold will reduce the range, it doesn't' stop the batteries from flowing electricity to the motors. Are you not seeing the video showcasing an EV in the snow? Did they complain about the batteries not working?
@nightsurfer1 That's what I meant. You have reduced range and no charging infrastructure in the Arctic. What are you going to do, bring in a diesel generator on a truck to operate your EV?🙄
@@montegrifo See??? You don't ask Tesla owners. You just assumed. I charge mine with a household wall outlet. It gives me 5 miles per hour of charge. I plug it in after work and it charges and stops sometimes in the middle of the night because I only drive 30 to 35 miles a day. I still have to pump gas for my other cars, and hate the hell out of it. I have to stand there for 5+ minutes and chancing getting mugged or shot by some random idiot. I hate it! It doesn't take but 2 or 3 seconds to plug in my car and it does the charging while I sleep. I wake up with 270 miles everyday. It's like having a gas* station at home, and I don't even have to stand there to pump gas. Edited a typo...
A lot like the process that they are going through at Space-x. The design algorithm is tuned in to normal highway use to keep the cost down. The loads with those tracks are off the charts. A virtual aftermarket goldmine for someone for sure
Excellent efforts in pushing the envelope. Great video that seems like a mini-movie. Please keep innovating and help increase new reliable options for this type of vehicle.
Very very cool indeed - I should have my CT by this summer but, just normal truck life for me - watching you guys is still fun though - I bet the Tesla engineering team is loving this
I agree with another subscriber's comments. This would be a wonderful opportunity to manufacture a kit that is strong enough to replace the really weak suspension of the cyber truck and create an unstoppable snow machine
For someone that blows past all ads, 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍, the way you did this ad was outstanding, I couldn't give you enough 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍. Great job on this one. You're on to something here. And I hate ads.
They don't care about customers, they care about publicity. There's a huge difference. I will say I am impressed those tracks took the weight of the CT as well as they did.

Something that breaks after 10 minutes is hardly incredible
Every build breaks
Funny seeing you here
The actual lockpick guy? Never expected that.
Who needs OEM parts when these dudes can fab anything they desire . Just awesome
The fab work broke in 15 min

Cybertruck looking like it was designed to be a Cybertrak. It’s the only time I ever thought it looked good.
Agreed
Facts
absolutely, seems the Cybertruck was so happy itself too!
Built in Austin by my home seen a few they grow on you up close!
@@PandaLife-lp8knagreed, they do look better in person.
Sticking those treads out 16 to 18 inches is a tremendous lever with all the weight of that truck. I can't imagine the torque loads on the suspension in that configuration.
That's what I was thinking, too. With a build like this, I'd want custom CNC-machined billet arms to avoid this exact thing happening.
Most regular trucks have no problem with this. The Cyber truck is just weak.

I think the negative 4000 offset might be a help of snapping that thing:p That thing also looks absolutely sick, good job!
You may have underestimated it.
@@MontanaWelldigger Should have added another zero just to be sure:p
I love how the tracks are like little mini cyber trucks. Shaped exactly the same. This thing is super dope.
10:00 best way of fabrication, keeping breaking stuff till it breaks no more.
yeah lol, instead of over doing more parts just keep fixing the ones that brake
That's the only way in my book 😂
the BEST parts , are no PARTS.
@@markplott4820 just like my imaginary lambo

WHAT HAPPENED?!?
I glad to see you having a presence
Wow you here too
I didn’t realise you left the RC world love you kev
But can it survive the staircase of DOOM?!
14:15 Feels totally confortable taking this thing wherever, 60seconds later it snapped. Lmao
That was great r&d for the future off-roaders of Cybertruck.
Yup, literally replace every single suspension component because it's built out of balsa wood. 🤣
And Testla probably paid Dave 100K just for the Musk-plug 😂
Love the channel but love it when Dave says I can't believe the spindal broke like that with his 8in wheel spacers lol ready for part 2!!!!!
Exactly. No slam on them but the leverage put on by the spacers does huge stress.
Is that spindle made of aluminum?! lmao *facepalm
That and he made a comment about driving it all day which is not possible. Even super car Ron said the distance is terrible.
I had 2" wheel spacers on a vehicle once that I was sure something like this would happen. The 12" spacer made me go 👀
Wow your fabrication team is awesome. Literally designing parts on the fly 🔥
You broke the Internet! This thing is 🔥

Can’t wait for @WhistlinDiesel to take a cyber truck out for testing.
