Ethan cutting splines with a grinder, into an old snow mobile a arm, that’s being recycled as a steering pivot arm, on a power wheels vehicle, is probably the most Grind Hard thing, EVER.
And making the steering work backwards at the first mounting point @ 9.00 min they didn't say a word🤣🤣
Holy SHIT! That plasma cutter freaking cuts STUPIDLY CLEAN! OMFG That is definitely the tool to get when you are about to step your game up
Expecting grinder disc to explode: still no guard. Truly a man among men
I'm working on a bridge in my hometown and I can relate, I zipped my thumb last week with a zip disk
Amazing as always. You should revive the Mustang as a drift power wheels and make a trailer to make this camper carry it to the streets
It is great seeing you guys paying attention to suspension geometry and proper verbiage.. All knowledge that comes from Stock Car racers nationwide for decades..
You guys are so lucky to be in on the beta testing for the Arcdroid, I'm signed up for the early bird and can't wait. what a game changer. Keep up the good work.
This thing looks lights out. Saw some random yt ad and follow the progress. If I needed a plasma table this would be the unit I would buy. Thanks guys and more please! Make some merch I'm buying!
I just signed up for the Super Early Bird deal with shipping estimated for January. This video must be doing a lot because there were 15 spots available when I signed up, now an hour later there are on 5.
Every build you do is just more and more epic. When watching videos I feel anxiety of them having to end :D
Glad I'm not the only one. When I see a 40 minute ghpc video I get real excited lol
this is what we like! Fast updates, Keep them coming! Can’t wait to see this done
Generally, most of their down time on projects comes from having to wait on parts. Which is understandable considering all of their builds are custom creations. That's why they have to bounce from one project to another so often. Otherwise they wouldn't be making a video while waiting for things to ship. This one seems like it will go faster though due to them just cutting down a fully functional ATV instead of building a frame from scratch around a power train from something random.
@@sftworange6456 haha I think this is the first negative comment I have ever seen on GHP . congratulations I guess 😂
That arcdroid is a brilliant idea. So compact.
I'd maybe even mount it on a piviot, so you could flip it under the table out if the way when it's not being used.....just an idea.
It’s gonna be unstoppable! You’ll be able to Camp in the most Remote areas 😉👍
I was thinking that too have the camper pull the trailer with the tent, that will do it no problem.
Ohh man I've been itching to see the next installment of this build :)
@@GrindHardPlumbingCo do a power wheeler jet boat if possible. Everything had been amazing y’all have built I think that would change it up a bit🤘🏻
That Barbie camper van is rediculously awesome! You should put some tinted windows in it and make it look more like a class A camper! Add head lights, tail lights, a light bar on top. That would be the icing on the cake!
Holy Crap that is the coolest CNC I have ever seen and the price is off the hook. I'm not even a big fabricator or mechanic and I want one of these super bad. Very VERY cool guys. I predict the that tool will be on every man's workbench in the next couple years that is by far the coolest piece of technology/tool that I've seen since the 3D printer or the CNC machine itself wow way to go guys that is an amazing tool!
i can imagine wheel wells a front right side mounted snorkel lights bars a mean bush wacking bumper and rock sliders with a windshield
Just watching this and I can't get over how fast this one is coming together, it's beautiful.... I really need to find like minded people like this because I want to build one¡!
I love that they get bigger, categories for different types when racing might be needed cause u guys might be unbeatable
Like :no suspension and full suspension classes, and then also cc thresholds, so smaller engines like 250's an 125's don't Run with 650' an 1000's
That plasma cutter is cool as Hell!!!!!!
My older sister had the Barbie dream camper when we were kids. The one that was a play set for barbies.
I was always mad I couldn’t ride in it... so I appreciate what y’all are doing here.
Incredibly cool to see what I wanted done so many years ago.
That plasma cutter is awesome
Dude that plasma Droid or whatever its called is amazing
The Arcdriod is awesome!!! I can see that paying for itself fast!
I really like the little plasma arm... so smart to have trace. That is really a nice feature and I look forward to seeing you incorporate this tool into your workflow. I'm a cnc guy so I can appreciate the value of this feature. So sick!
Your video rythm is soo sweat, a lot of work done seamlessly. Always sense of making tubing that flow naturally as is they were from factory. Sure the roll cage will give you very high security level. As the pink harness will do. Very nice job. I have a quad waiting for me to work on, with one of my custom bodyshell. If only we have ,in Europe, meetings where we can show these sort if toys!
That arcdroid thing is seriously cool
For your "couplings" etc. stick an end mill in the lathe chuck and use the cross slide as a table (you might need to bolt something on to it).
I think this is std practice for milling on a lathe.. Look up 'milling on a lathe' :) for more..
I have never thought of milling using a lathe. There is always a way isn’t there?
@@NotJo4Ever13 I've not tried it.. some say it's difficult to do a good job without a collet Chuck or whatever but, if you don't have a miller or milling attachment and you take shallow cuts it should beat an angle grinder.. I think you just bolt a vice where the tool post goes and go crazy.. (crazy slow)
So cool, guys! I'm definitely looking forward to seeing how this one comes along. Please don't lower it much, guys! This one's already a perfect mini-monster without cutting it down any.
Dude that thing is going to SO legit! Thanks for another great project!
That little plasma cutter is SICK! So perfect for people with limited shop space, wow! You should see if they'll give you one for a giveaway to really hype up the product and sell a bunch of merch, too. 🤷♂️
We will be giving one away when they get to production! Stay tuned!
You guys should look at using the front cargo rack from the quad as a roof rack, could look really cool on this mini monster truck! Could maybe even toss a spare tire on it if it doesn't change the center of gravity too much
A little tip, you can use the lathe as a mill, just put a endmill in the spindle and the workpice in the toolpost!
The remix is getting AWESOME. It's trip. It's got a funky beat. And, I can Bug out to it.
I think if you lengthen the control arms right, you maight not have to cut the "fenders".
Love the Arcdroid cant wait till they come out for sale . For us hobby guys !!!! Love your videos too !!!
That is literally the coolest cnc plasma torch I have ever seen.
I've worked on quite a few 750 quads and just a heads up make sure to tune it properly if you change the headers up on it, it runs really lean out the gate oven stock and giving it more flow will compound it, also it usually will need the air box to run at 100%. send me a email if you ever have any questions on it
Scara arm fans are in awww right now, that arcdroid is fricken rad
I would never think to cut splines free hand with an angle grinder! Super cool that it worked
This build is the best candidate for a cage. So glad this is getting one and harnesses. That will definitely make the commit factor over 9000 lol.
That thing is super cool! My plasma cutter is a dinosaur compared to it!
That plasma cutter is great but honestly for a few hundred more you could get a Langmuir pro with a water table that’s way bigger. Great idea but unless it comes way down in price no dice. Love the build though awesome stuff.
That ArcdroidCNC is pretty friggin sweet. What a brilliant idea.
Every hot wheels build y’all do is a little better. This thing is going to be SO SICK! Can’t wait to see it finished. Great work guys! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
She’s coming along great 👍
I've done the same thing when it comes to grinding out splines for a newly recycled shaft, but I slipped up and took a chunk of my nail off. So now I use 2 vices then band them together or just hold the vices with my off hand
You guys gotta put the barbie logo in the new grille that you make it would look sick I think you could pull it off with that new plasma cutter
I wish I never grew up with just a mom, I never had a dad to teach me this kind of stuff so I look up to y’all , and y’all teach me to have fun with it
What's stopping you from learning all this stuff, I was in your boat aswell
I love the freaking arcdroid. So jealous yall got to use it. Good stuff
I feel like this is going to be the best barbie power wheels there has ever been hands down. This thing is in its infancy and it's already badass! I cannot wait to watch this build series and see this epic monster come to life. You guys really are the best channel ever for these types of builds. I have been watching for years and have loved every video you guys have made keep cranking out these bangers and thank you for all your hard work and dedication to keep us entertained with the madness.
@@GrindHardPlumbingCo Nothing to thank me for, we are here for it you guys keep the dope content coming. If you ever find yourselves near Detroit you will have to hit me up we will rip those all through the city of course prolly wouldn't be able to film for obvious reasons but we could definitely have a blast. 313 ALL DAY SOUTHWEST LONYO AND MCGRAW.
That plasma cutter is AMAZING. What a great idea!
You can adjust the amount of Ackerman By adjusting the length of the center link I felt like I was there with you and you were doing what I was thinking killer build makes me want to do something like this
I'm a little lit right now, but I think you've got it backwards. If the tie rods were in the front, that'd be how it works. But behind the axle the center link would need to be longer and the idler arms tilted outwards. He probably doesn't want to do that because he's steering from one side and it would turn at a faster ratio one direction.
Can't wait to buy the harbor freight version of that CNC in a few years!
i would love to see another camping trip with a couple other people with powerwheels when this is built because this already LOOKS AWESOME!!!!!
This might be the best build yet for a Power wheels love all your builds
The 5 point harness is Sick... You should incorporate an extra mount on the back for a spare 5 Gal gas tank for the Vanlife extended range.
7:13 theres a easy way to lock those sleeves in place. drill a small hole on the frame pipes the sleeves go in, then tag weld the sleeves trough that hole. that way they dont move when placing the other part in and it gives little better support for those inner pipes. other way would be is adding keying on the sleeves but thats more work and adds point of failure in the frame
They're getting welded. If you want more support drill through and add a roll pin, and then weld. but like you said that sacrifices structural integrity. Jest weld it like he's doing and call it a day. No need to drill and weld or mess with keys 🤷🏻♂️
Dude that plasma arm is genius. Love that thing
That arcdroid is pretty cool. I kinda want one but I dont know what I'd ever use it for
That thing is going to be epic!!!Super cool with the pink harness 👍👍!!!
Have to say you guy are the power wheel kings in my mind!!!!
Wow, is that CNC plasma cutter cool! I really need to fix one of my two broken plasma cutters. That would be perfect for making suspension brackets.
Great job on the steering and knowing how to fix it. It's not magic, just geometry. The setup you built is exactly what came on the Nissan Hardbody. I think even the 1st gen Frontier had the same setup until they went with rack and pinion on the 2nd gen.
I think a good number of Ultra4 racers would agree that independent suspension is better if you can build it strong enough.
Guys you rock, you really inspire us not to stop whenever there is a bump. Thank you for the nice videos and the nice ideas that unlock new ideas for us in our fields.
You’re a total pro; and in that small shop ,makes this an even cooler project. Thx for the entertainment guys!
Epic build. Ethan you have such efficient productivity you make hard work look easy. Well done. The steering system you designed is very impressive.
They make fancy looking off road go karts and its awsome.
I'd put hose clamps around the bolts on the frame where you made those to remove engine just so the bolts don't rattle out🤷
When that thing pops the front end up it's gonna be epic rolling by someone on a quad n just lighting it up... BBBrrrrrraaaapppp
This build is going to be epic when it's done, I find it funny how different countries call (what you call overlanding) in Australia we call touring or others call it adventuring. It's also cool how you guys are building this rig a bit more simply then previous builds. As to say anyone could build it. Don't get me wrong, I love the full custom builds! Keep it up!
You could use your lath like a mill for those small parts. Put a mill cutter in the lath head and mount the part to the tool head and mechine away
The music is always top notch.
The work that you do is very professional and lots of fun
You guys ideas are getting better and better keep up the good work guys
Awesome. You gotta use the original light positions ..and get a barbie dog fastened in the rear
I love how Ethan cuts splines with a grinder. Freaking legend.
First time he did that it was a jaw dropping moment for me! I was like "He did it! The Crazy son of a bitch Did it!" bahahaha splines have been a big problem for me in the past on some stuff. It was super nice to find a remedy.
That thing is going to be sooo good. The front suspension job is on point! You couldn't have done any better! Pretty sure it'll do great wheelies! Would be rad to have a quick release full suspension wheelie bar on the back. So you could just drive it like a maniac.. lol I mean, ya'll do that anyways. But still
That thing looks awesome. Amazing job😄👍
hey. i have an idea for your next project. from what i could understand the biggest problem you have with those builds is the seat positioning but what if you take one of those pedal tractors for kids as a body. you could simply sit on top of it and have plenty of room for your legs. the only problem i can see is that these tractors are not that wide and could tip over.
sry for bad english
I love independent suspension. Big fan
You guys are so awesome with your build that I watch every ad so you get comp’ed! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻👍👍👍👍🎉🎉🎉🎉🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Did anyone notice how the steering is going the wrong way at 9:10 haha I was like it looks so weird! Btw great build again guys love what you do!!!
I saw a heavy plastic body race car bunk bed with a steel tubular frame. For sleeping. I immediately thought it was a good candidate for what you guys do.
I forget just how good your channel is… you are both just awesome… it was great to see that you are showing the power wheels community builds as well. Thanks guys.
Room for a sick sound system? Maybe a tiny array of tang band speakers with a class d amp would be good.
You Nuts! Getting better every day. Triumph? Harumph? ;-) You make the agenda. I love every build.
Yeah that is the coolest tool i have ever seen
I challenge you to build an entire vehicle, any kind, using the new plasma cutter to make all the parts, apart from the standard equipment...... With that machine, you can build a modular motorcycle frame, or a really rad trellis frame..... Btw, hilarious tag. 🤣
I love how excited you guys are about this build! keep this energy, it's so addictive haha
Ethan is a fabrication genius! 🤘🏻🤘🏻👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
It looks like you have plenty of land where you are, but I don't know if you rent or own. What I am thinking is that you should make a new, much bigger, shop a project for the near future. Do you have three phase power where you are, or can it be converted to three phase? That greatly opens your options for building your shop regards machine tools. Even a small one or two thousand dollar mill would be a godsend, and used can be a good way to go because they tend to come with heaps of extras like rotary heads (or a full blown dividing head), collet sets and lots of end and slot mills and other cutters.
This is definitely going to fit in really well with the other builds but the quality is getting so much better over time such a great watch... Amazing fellas
Can't wait to see the suspension build.... long travel will be awesome...
I love the build quality yall do ive been watching for a long time and id have alot of trust in the things you do the welds you do are amazing and i love how you put it together and take it apart just to put it back together real quality 👌🏼
Yesssss I’m building a wood body 4x4 truck/gokart thing out of a Suzuki king quad 500 right mow
Yeah I was going to go the power wheels route, but decided I want to be able to ride 2 people side by side and have a bed and hitch on it
“As long as you can build it strong enough” couldn’t agree more! But straight axles are cheap and strong and cheap to build.👍
That CNC cutter looks really awesome! 👌
It will for sure make your work alot easier!
Cheers from Northern Sweden 🍻
Awesome builds guys! Just promise me you won’t forget about that tank!
I loooooooove the way this thing is turning out. I love the idea of a tiny overland machine. Should definitely build a roof rack for it.
The pink screen at the end perfect
Arcdroid incredible!
As a manufacturing engineer who has seen too many automotive prints of splined shafts and gears with ridiculous tolerances, I love seeing you make splines with a grinder 👍🏻
olbv
@@nickjordan9567 you smell burned toast bud?
Me too, everytime I watch them make splines with a grinder i cringe. Then it works!
They are absolutely amazing 👏
@@gixxersixx it’s not supposed to 🤣
