Excited to see the increase in content quality! This will give a ton of opportunity to put more work into every video, and provides much needed free time for mental health 🤘🇺🇲
Disappointed? No. Sad? Yes. But in complete understanding of why. I'm glad yall are making this change to better your own lives, and to better your content. Y'all are amazing.
i think it not about family i bet Ike had an eye injury and most likely said im done and im out i reckon they had a fight and he has to come up with an idea to cover his back. you cant just believe what everyone tells you.
Totally understand the once a week posting schedule. You guys have kept us entertained for many years now. You deserve everything you've earned, including a little relaxation time. This channel helped me through a dark time in my life, and ill forever appreciate that.
Man same here. My little boy turn me on to them about four years ago along with grind hard and helped me through a very dark time in my life and even though I'm through it I still wake up Monday and Wednesday excited because I know I'm going to get a video from them so this is very saddening but very understandable
its almost a week and still nothing i gave up last week, they have shot themseloves in the foot doing this they could have made some more crude videos they try too hard maybe they need someone to come on board that can do the editing. i dont think this channel will survive tis the end of another good channel.
It wouldn't hurt my feelings for y'all to throw some longer less edited videos, I found y'all at least 3 or 4 years ago and have enjoyed watching the projects and the personal progress. It's no secret that y'all are probably the hardest working creators. Will definitely keep y'alls family in thoughts and prayers
My brother wants telling me if I'm riding a mini bikes and go-karts with you then we fixing up people's minibikes and go-karts and he got to go to work he said he don't never have time to be by himself are chill with his son
There is no need to apologize, and I think k it will be for the best, honestly. I've been asked about doing build videos, and it sounds awesome. Except that I have 5 kids, one of which is severely disabled and a full-time job. I don't think I could do it the way it would need to be done. Looking forward to the new videos as I've been watching for years and years now.
Ehh, been watching from the beginning, they both had jobs and still posted twice a week, now neither has jobs AND they added Charles and want slip down once a week. Everybody watching works aleast 40+ hours a week. Just lost this subscriber
@@davidkuhn3058 You’d rather watch 2 videos of the same work that they can show in 1 video? Doesn’t really make sense to unsubscribe and stop watching over that but alright we will do just fine without you bud 🤷♂️
Agreed, I’d rather have one episode with more details and less rush on them. Not even gonna be upset if they had to miss a week or two either. Friends and family are more important!! Keep up the good work!!!
All I heard was "I'm not quitting, we're not quitting, we're just readjusting." and I'm happy for you to make this change. Been here since the beginning and I am super excited to see where this content will take you guys. Much love to all of you, and many well wishes to Ike and the family.
A weekly C&C video is still a treat in my book. The number of videos you guys have been able to produce is really impressive. It takes me days, not hours, to edit a video.
Im a 49 years old man and had learned alot from you guys. As a fan, I will support the channel always. Just keep living your dream and keep rolling brothers. Love you guys, satay safe and healthy.
The fact that your making this video to explain to everyone what's going on in y'all's world's, says SO SO much about where your heart is. You guys by far, are the best mini bike go-kart gurus on the UA-cam. I've learned so much from watching your shows. I greatly appreciate you for doing what you do. I'll tell you like I tell my son's. At the end of every day, no matter what happens, you have to do what's right by you. If you don't take care of yourself first. Then you can't expect to last for too very long. Thanks " carsandcamras we here in Fort Worth Texas, love y'all
As a video editor I've been blown away by your commitment to twice weekly uploads. Even with minimal editing, that's still a lot of content to produce. You can only give what you have to give! Excited to see what placing that boundary does for the finished product of your channel and your mentality overall.
I worked as a video editor for an over seas YT channel as a side gig and I knew it wasn't an easy job but I couldn't believe how much time gets eaten up just while editing a simple video...
between four people dedicated to making videos that have no customers and only build mini bike and go carts they dont have time. 160 man hours to put together one video? The editing is not special. also got patreon and sponsors. Simply just lazy. Pathetic that with 160 hours between four grown men that they cant get more accomplished
The concept of 12 hours a day, 12 days in a row is genuinely insane and I love your dedication. Health, of course, is top priority so I’m glad to hear that y’all are slowing down for now to take care of yourselves
you realise that many jobs are just like that, and many do that sort of work and make big bucks, they have killed their channel doing this i hope you know that.
You guys could post once a month and I'm sure most of us would not mind. I've been watching you guys for many years now and it is insane to see how large the channel has become. The only thing I ask is you guys keep the editing and production the same because you make the viewers feel as if we are there. Take all the time you need and remember that you are the one setting the bar for yourself. Also prayers to all of you and your family's and best wishes on a speedy recovery.
nope if they did their channel would die real quick see what you and others seen to fail to understand a lot of people watch this as they would a tv show and you should know that if a show stops comming on so much people get bored and go elsewhere sorry but i think they have killed this channel.
@@themarinerkommer4371 just have you know that 63% of America watch reruns after they have finished their shows so disregard what you thought because everyone else does not in fact think the same way you do look past your eyes homie see whats really going on
Although I will miss the twice a week schedule but as a long time viewer I do miss the quality of the older stuff where you were able to take your time and put out in my opinion a better quality episode, like when you were in your dad’s garage. Thank you and I am waiting to see you guys more relax and having more fun. Keep it up guys
you're not disappointing anyone! your content improves by every video! take the time when you need it to take care of yourself and others. gods going to put you through hell but you gotta keep pushing!
Glad to hear that you guys as a company are deciding to focus on your own health and well-being. It will provide the viewer with better content for longer, and make you guys happy!
One video a week is fine with me. Less pressure on the team and the opportunity for "surprise" videos! Stay strong Ike and wishing a speedy recovery to Charles!
It’s always good to see UA-camrs realizing that they are just as important as their viewers with you guys getting more time in between uploads the content will just get higher quality keep it up guys!
I love that you are making this change. You have to take care of yourselves first regardless of how hard that is to admit (pointing at myself here) You all were HUGE in driving me to make a channel and I could never believe how often you consistently posted. Your followers will be here and those that only want more are not the ones to have around. Thank you for the honestly in what it takes to do this! Go take a nap and enjoy a drive WITHOUT a camera. 🤘🤘
There is no need to be disappointed. You guys have been doing amazing work over the years. I thing this change is 100% for the better. There is no need for you guys to be stressed at what you guys love, that's not healthy. When you get stressed at what you guys love, that will end up in frustration and you guys will end up in not enjoying what you guys do for a living. Me being a viewer, I love seeing you guys enjoy what you do. Plus, with posting once a week, it keeps your viewers on there tows with anticipation. Keep doing what you guys do! You guys are awesome and have awesome videos! Every single build you guys build is so cool!! Don't feel like you have let your viewers down because you guys haven't!
I started watching back when I was in trade school (sometime between august 2015 and may 2017, so we graduated the same year!). Somehow I never subscribed until Power Tour last year when I saw Ike hanging out with VGG, Alex Taylor, etc. I didn’t realize how much this channel had grown. You guys do what is best for you. From a fellow business owner, I fully believe that doing what works best for you will only improve what you put out and frankly provide more income for the three of you. Best of luck, and here’s to many more years of having a great time!
No lie, I'm gonna miss my Monday and Wednesday C&C fix, but I think this is a great decision for you guys. Not disappointed at all you chose to do this after all these years! Keep up the great work and I look forward to many more stories and builds in the future.
l remember years back it felt easy posting twice a week. now getting one a week out is close. yt has changed. rewarding clickbait titles and shorts, then the big tv channels have switched to posting on yt. backing off on the 2 a week is a good idea in my opinion as enjoyment making them without so much pressure to perform will produce a better product,
We all want 4 videos a week, but rational humans will realize it's just not possible. You guys keep doing you and we will be happy with what we get. =)
You guys could post 2 times a month and I'd be just as happy. We all understand and are all so proud of where you guys have come in the years and what you've accomplished. Looking forward to more projects in the future, and all the best wishes to Issac and his family ❤️ love you guys
I've been watchin you for years, and let me tell you, there's no disappointment about changing your schedule. Do what you need to do. Take care of yourselves and your families. We'll all still be here.
I like that you’re so transparent with all of us. I love all your content and would rather have you all happy and healthy rather than have a schedule that’s always so packed. Personally I wish you all well
Definitely not disappointed. As someone who also had to take a step back from his career to re-evaluate things in life and change careers to compensate, I totally understand this and will continue to watch your videos for years to come.
Been around since the rat rod wagon series, and love the content. Could definitely tell recently that things were taking a toll on everyone. Glad your taking the correct steps to keep everyone happy!
I think I speak for most of the viewers here when I say that we want you guys to be around for a long long time, we want to watch you guys continue growing, and we damn sure don't want any one of you to get burned out on what you're passionate about, and what we have enjoyed watching for many years now. I've been a subscriber since 2015 and have enjoyed every video. I still haven't made it to a Mini Mayhem yet, but maybe this spring that'll change. We appreciate you guys, and I mean it.
Thanks! I'm in my 60's and been watching you folks for years. To be honest not a full time watcher, but when I do I can't stop!! I just keep watching until I notice that it's late and I can't start, or finish what I was intended to do. Lol. But as the saying goes "IT WILL BE FIND"!! A Big Thank You for all you guys have done! Most importantly take care of yourself and your love ones!! Ill keep watching ,in hopes to catch up on all your episodes. Thank you from us all in Tulalip Washington.
While I am sad to see less content, as I’m sure everyone will be, I am so happy for you guys! Your channel has been keeping me entertained for years, and the health and safety of your team is the most important thing of all. Can’t wait for these new weekly uploads!
Iv been watching your channel right from the beginning and it’s my favourite channel, us viewers would rather you look after yourself and your family’s! All I’m saying is you’ve got over a million of us right behind you❤️
To be honest I've been hoping for better quality video/build once a week or even every other instead of the recent content that's been rushed or incomplete. Quality over quantity of videos. Glad to hear
I am and still will be a dedicated fan. Y'all are the reason I started building minibikes and go carts. Love meeting up with you at Pate's or GPS events. If this is the step you 3 need to take, then this Loyal fan will stay with you. Love you 3 and tell Ike I hope his loved one has all the care and comfort they need. John, love ya bro!! Shout out to Cars and Cameras from Houston!!!
Take the time you need to take care of life and its challenges, everyone will adapt to the changes :] plus this channel's product is "fun" so keep it fun for you guys too
I’m cool with whatever you all need to do, once a week is better than nothing, hope everyone gets better soon, best wishes to Ike and his family, heal up quickly Charles
Health always comes first, good of you to realize that. Even if you started up a couple of small single build series it would be nice to see the different work styles and fixes of each mechanic seperately too. I honestly miss those old videos, simple projects that people like myself without a welder can mess with and enjoy. I'm in the final steps of finishing a 110cc street legal pit bike myself, inspired by the cars and camera crew (and maybe Jennies Garage). looking forward to the next mini mayhem!
One video a week is plenty my good man. Heck, with the great job you all do and with the quality of video that you guys put out, once or even twice a month would still be a blessing. Life gets in the way for sure, so what you guys have to do to maintain the enjoyment on your end. Thanks for the great content!
We have wondered for years HOW y’all do it. Granted you are full time, but getting out one a week for us was (and still is) a LOT OF WORK! Keep doing what y’all do, always have been fans and will continue to be! Just don’t cut out Mini Mayhem or we riot! 😂
between four people dedicated to making videos that have no customers and only build mini bike and go carts they dont have time. 160 man hours to put together one video? The editing is not special. also got patreon and sponsors. Simply just lazy. Pathetic that with 160 hours between four grown men that they cant get more accomplished
Hope everything is good for you guys...love you dude 🤙 Edit: Look..I love the twice a week..but the once a week is far more realistic and I am not disappointed one bit. Health is far more important and you are correct, posting twice a week is unrealistic..love you guys your content is rockin Good luck out there boys I fully support the channel
I started watching you guys about 2 years ago. The only thing that has me disappointed is that I didn’t find you guys sooner! I binged watched all of your stuff till I was up to date and what I have done lately is let some episodes go by and then binge again lol. You all have done so much for me! You gave me a hobby that I’m getting into myself and gave me so much knowledge and confidence in my own career! And also confidence to work on my own vehicles as well! I’m so sorry to hear the hardships you all are going through and just know that we your fans are so proud to see how far you have come and the amazing work and creativity you have shown throughout all these years!! And no matter the changes no matter what life throws our way, you’ve created a community that will stand by you guys for all the years to come!! Thank you for everything and all of you and your families are in our prayers!!! Stay strong!!! We got you!!!
I have been watching you guys for years and seeing the great content that has ensued because of it, but I am glad you are taking the time to let us know what you guys are doing and posting once a week is fine by me. Looking forward to more great content.
We’re not disappointed at all. Family and health is more important than anything else. You guys take care of yourselves and your families and we’ll see you Wednesday’s!🤘🏽🤘🏽
You’re still fairly young but I gotta tell you, when you’re a provider, you work so much that you miss things like soccer games, graduations, weddings, funerals, it’s so hard to balance a great career with personal time. I’m 36 years Air Force, I just retired in 2022 and for the first time in my life I’m able to go on trips and spend time with family. As a pilot I was always out of the country. My longest time out of the county was 2 years and 4 months, I had JUST gotten married before I was told to fly here and then I had to fly there and just over that time I flew so many sorties that they kept me busy. It’s good to be retrospective and take a step back to see the big picture. If I had done that there no doubt I would have retired earlier. But my family was so dependent on my income that I wanted to enjoy their super comfortable and easy lifestyle. They were the inspiration I needed to go on those long excursions. So take this time to go do what you have to do, you have loyal fans and we will always be here when you get back. Family is number one always
I don't know how y'all have done it this long. Honestly, one every 2 weeks is a lot with all y'all do. Don't get me wrong I'm sure everyone appreciates the hard work,but take care of yourselves. No matter what y'all will still be one of the best channels on UA-cam.
We all get busy with life. I find myself falling behind on episodes and then trying to binge watch to catch up. I’m actually excited for the once a week. It gives me time to enjoy each episode as I watch them. Really enjoy the channel and will be a lifetime fan. Praying for Ike’s family member.
Y’all are in no way disappointing us. Not gonna lie, been wondering how you guys find time to do ANYTHING other then your YT videos. All of You guys are awesome, just saying better health better videos. We love you guys and keep up the great work. I have been watching y’all for about 6-7 years now.
Only you can take care of you. True fans get that. Not disappointed at all and as a matter of fact, being a small business owner myself, I’m proud of you guys. 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Totally understand. Once a week makes sense. As others have said, please don't feel like you need to up the production quality though. One of the great things about this channel, and I am sure your crazy schedule has been a part of this, is that your videos are not overly polished. I don't mean that as an insult, your videos are some of the best content on UA-cam. But part of that is the raw feel of your videos. It makes us viewers feel like we are there in the shop with you. I swear I sometimes get a whiff of welding fumes in my mind when Ike skillfully cobs something together. Love it! Keep up the great work.
So in TLDR, kicking back to once-a-week posting instead of twice a week to keep up your health? Dude, I'm surprised you haven't done so sooner! Once a week is the golden spot for that kind of balance with most UA-camrs, you guys are already doing exceptionally well and your own health and family come before the channel always! Keep up everything you do.
I wish Shorts would go away. If there was a way to filter them out of my Subscription page I would. I have picked off multiple channels recently that I followed for years because they began posting multiple Shorts per day. That's way too Tik Toky,
I am sad to only watch 1 video a week but it is more important for you guys to stay healthy, spend time with family and not lose your minds from stress. And I look forward to what the new direction will do for your content.

My families from Charlotte, and I understand y’all operate out of that general area, if I’m not mistaken. Close by, at least. Well I grew up working on projects like you all do; working on go-karts, and small engines. You guys have taken it farther than I ever did, but to levels I wanted to take things, and could have if I had invested more into it. Anyway, I’m just commenting to offer my assistance, if you’d be interested in another set of hands to help out, even if it’s off camera. I’ve always wanted to hang out with you guys and work on projects together, because this is exactly how I envisioned my future as a kid. I was rebuilding flat top 5hp Briggs when I was 5 or 6 years old. Wonderful memories. Still have a yard full of karts and other machines, I’d be happy to bring some of my own things if need be
I'm excited for the future content on this new schedule and I truly hope that this minimizes some of the stress. ITS TIME TO HAVE FUN AT WORK AGAIN GUYS!
Awesome! Take care of y’all. I just found y’all a few months ago. Since then y’all got me to build a go cart, mini bike, chopper mini bike and a pw80. Once a week post, gets me a chance to catch up on your content. Lol
I’m just happy there will still be more videos. Love the content and have loved seeing the growth of the channel, been around since some of the early days.
Guys I get it. Good for you. You need to look after yourselves and friends and family first. If you’re not rested and mentally in a good place you can’t begin to make quality content. It’s amazing how much changes over time. Since I’ve been watching this channel I’ve had 2 kids and seen my spare time drop to near zero. A bit selfish here on my part, a drop in your content upload rate will give me a chance to catch up on all the videos I don’t have much time for anymore! Anyway look after yourselves and we all look forward to following you on this journey for years to come. Thanks for the content.
Family and health come first no need for the explanation,I think everyone understands,running a business is challenging especially when you have others and their families to think about and take care of,I personally would enjoy a slightly more polished video with more informative content and how too,always love y'all's restoration vlogs and really appreciate the backyard ingenuity this channel brings,I would personally like to see more of your car restoration videos the truck the caddy,maybe some of Ike's cars ,the backyard toys are awesome but I think there is a market for the cars here on UA-cam,builds drags ,shows ,cruisers,etc thanks for all y'all have done good luck with your future content
I remember watching the first monster Moto mini bike build as well as the why you should buy a vintage go cart video when they first came out. Now I’m a freshman in college.
I’ve been working for almost a full week to edit a video for my channel. It’s under 3 hours of footage. I can’t imaging putting out the amount of videos you guys have.
I prefer when you do a project that it's only one video with a completed, running project at the end. I usually wait for a series to finish before I get involved watching. I enjoy the finished project and watching you guys have fun driving it. Keep up the good work, you guys are great.
While listening to the video, I had a bunch of thoughts and ideas to suggest, but by the end of the video all I could think of is, most all of your videos ( and I've watched a lot of them) are entertaining to say the least. I'm unable to get out and bounce around on a "mud mower" or a modified "little red wagon" anymore let along bend over one for hours to peak its performance. So I especially enjoy watching you guys tear down, rebuild and then go "test" the results. That's what it's all about and if you make one or seven videos a week, us adoring (and drooling) fans will enjoy every minute 😁. You and the crew, along with your families are in our prayers so keep recording and we'll keep supporting👍❤️.
Its good you guys are deciding to take a step back, usually happens too late for a lot of channels and they get burnt out and you can see it in the content. Been watching you guys since 2015 and you've been going hard the whole time. Luckily Ike has a good boss who lets him take off the time he needs to deal with the family member, a lot of places would tell him to either deal with it on his own time or use his paid time on it. It'll be interesting to see the change in content, hopefully some more long form videos, could maybe keep in some of the bloopers you normally post at the end.
I love watching this UA-cam channel, gives me so many ideas on what I can build/fix, I loved the episode where ya put a predator motor in an ATV frame, that was awesome, I thought about doing that, I am a guy who is into ATV, side by side atv's, at heart I am a die hard 97 through 2006 jeep Wrangler guy, I had an 2004 jeep Wrangler sport, did lots of lift kit mods, big tires, sadly my 2004 got stolen, recently got a low mileage 97 Sahara edition jeep with 113.000 miles 5 spd hard top and soft tops with full doors for a steal, got it for 3,000 that's very cheap considering the low miles and how good of shape it's in, gonna eventually put a 2 to 2.5 in lift on it, I personally know just a two in spring spacers in the front and 3/4 to one one spacer will clear the 33 in tires and ride very well, I love this channel and how everything is explained and how much awesome things you guys build and do
Your content has helped me with mechanical projects I do, such as my Honda mini trail 70, that I'm building for my nephew. You guys are a machine that runs with a beating heart full of pistons, thanks for all your content and I hope this becomes a hobby and not a daily time burner taker easy an I hope all goes well on your end
I would love for you guys to slow down, it'll be great for you guys, it'll be great for the channel, and it'll be great for the quality of your projects. I love longer videos where you guys take your time and go in primed and ready and knowing what you gotta do. I love long term projects, that you guys love and feel invested in. I love the bigger projects, road trips, and i would love to see more actual car content. I loved the miata series, i love your truck, I want to see what you guys do there. Could be super fun! You guys haev been super great and fun to watch!
Been following you guys since the old “go carts racing around the parents’ back yard” days, and I LOVE that you made this change. Looking forward to seeing you guys more refreshed and able to take more time for storytelling and production. Thank you for sharing your passion with us and entertaining us for so many years. And may God continue to bless you all, your families and this endeavor, for many years to come.
We love y'all, appreciate all ya do. Yer channel has given me something to look forward to through out the years. Even inspired me to build my first mini chopper. Thank you Rob
Friends, family, and yourself come first. Your videos will be just as good if not better as they always have. I remember watching y'all put a 670 on the back of a small go-kart.
This channel is my favourite on UA-cam. Love the vids and the atmosphere in the workshop. Great ideas and a lot of fun. I hope these changes work out well for you guys, professionally and personally.
Trophy truck ep. 1 comes to mind. Your production quality was some of your best on that video. I think it's worth it for you guys to be able to match that level of entertainment and have fewer videos.
Honestly, I wouldn’t say the video quality has gone down, but I have definitely noticed major changes. It all clicked when you mentioned not being able to tell a story. The stories during the builds and the connections we used to get made the content just that much better. If it means less videos to have better stories and build, than that’s not even a question. Take care y’all.
NO sweat. Thank you for helping me build my CT200ex “225 till, race motor”…. Y’all (viewers) know what I’m saying. Thanks you guys. I hope to see you at Busco this year!
John. I think I see you correctly, when I say I see a man who fills his cup by filling others'. It is what makes the heart of the shop that keeps y'all having fun. What I hear is more quality from a healthier fam. You've done amazing. There's no rule against doing this and then adapting the format as time progresses. Keep everybody happy and well. Not because you must, but because you're good at it. Best Cars and Cameras video yet.
Excited to see the increase in content quality! This will give a ton of opportunity to put more work into every video, and provides much needed free time for mental health 🤘🇺🇲
Dude wth....get to work on your vids! Seriously love your stuff to
Disappointed? No.
Sad? Yes.
But in complete understanding of why.
I'm glad yall are making this change to better your own lives, and to better your content. Y'all are amazing.
I was going to say the same thing
Well said Dylan
Same here
Same here
Same
Happy to have 1 great video per week instead of 2 short rushed ones anyway.
Time is precious, never apologize for family. ♥
i think it not about family i bet Ike had an eye injury and most likely said im done and im out i reckon they had a fight and he has to come up with an idea to cover his back. you cant just believe what everyone tells you.
Totally understand the once a week posting schedule. You guys have kept us entertained for many years now. You deserve everything you've earned, including a little relaxation time. This channel helped me through a dark time in my life, and ill forever appreciate that.
Man same here. My little boy turn me on to them about four years ago along with grind hard and helped me through a very dark time in my life and even though I'm through it I still wake up Monday and Wednesday excited because I know I'm going to get a video from them so this is very saddening but very understandable
its almost a week and still nothing i gave up last week, they have shot themseloves in the foot doing this they could have made some more crude videos they try too hard maybe they need someone to come on board that can do the editing. i dont think this channel will survive tis the end of another good channel.
It wouldn't hurt my feelings for y'all to throw some longer less edited videos, I found y'all at least 3 or 4 years ago and have enjoyed watching the projects and the personal progress. It's no secret that y'all are probably the hardest working creators. Will definitely keep y'alls family in thoughts and prayers
Making some changes to our content, we hope you all understand that this is for the best!
I guess we'll be the judge of that (whether its for the best or not) via views. Lol.
My brother wants telling me if I'm riding a mini bikes and go-karts with you then we fixing up people's minibikes and go-karts and he got to go to work he said he don't never have time to be by himself are chill with his son
We definitely understand
😁Don't worry... I will still be here... lol love your video's
There is no need to apologize, and I think k it will be for the best, honestly. I've been asked about doing build videos, and it sounds awesome. Except that I have 5 kids, one of which is severely disabled and a full-time job. I don't think I could do it the way it would need to be done. Looking forward to the new videos as I've been watching for years and years now.
Nobody has any right to be disappointed man. You guys have given all of us so much already. You guys take care of you guys. We'll still be here.
Ehh, been watching from the beginning, they both had jobs and still posted twice a week, now neither has jobs AND they added Charles and want slip down once a week. Everybody watching works aleast 40+ hours a week. Just lost this subscriber
@every day Charlie I agree with you
David Kuhn that's sad you are un subscribing bc of health issues for them
@@davidkuhn3058 You’d rather watch 2 videos of the same work that they can show in 1 video? Doesn’t really make sense to unsubscribe and stop watching over that but alright we will do just fine without you bud 🤷♂️
Agreed, I’d rather have one episode with more details and less rush on them. Not even gonna be upset if they had to miss a week or two either. Friends and family are more important!! Keep up the good work!!!
All I heard was "I'm not quitting, we're not quitting, we're just readjusting." and I'm happy for you to make this change. Been here since the beginning and I am super excited to see where this content will take you guys. Much love to all of you, and many well wishes to Ike and the family.
A weekly C&C video is still a treat in my book. The number of videos you guys have been able to produce is really impressive. It takes me days, not hours, to edit a video.
Yeah, seems like an hour per minute type work...
Im a 49 years old man and had learned alot from you guys. As a fan, I will support the channel always. Just keep living your dream and keep rolling brothers. Love you guys, satay safe and healthy.
The fact that your making this video to explain to everyone what's going on in y'all's world's, says SO SO much about where your heart is. You guys by far, are the best mini bike go-kart gurus on the UA-cam. I've learned so much from watching your shows. I greatly appreciate you for doing what you do. I'll tell you like I tell my son's. At the end of every day, no matter what happens, you have to do what's right by you. If you don't take care of yourself first. Then you can't expect to last for too very long. Thanks " carsandcamras we here in Fort Worth Texas, love y'all
This is his follow up video after he took a vacation build a C5 pick up truck expanded his business bought property and now he’s complaining
As a video editor I've been blown away by your commitment to twice weekly uploads. Even with minimal editing, that's still a lot of content to produce. You can only give what you have to give! Excited to see what placing that boundary does for the finished product of your channel and your mentality overall.
I worked as a video editor for an over seas YT channel as a side gig and I knew it wasn't an easy job but I couldn't believe how much time gets eaten up just while editing a simple video...
between four people dedicated to making videos that have no customers and only build mini bike and go carts they dont have time. 160 man hours to put together one video? The editing is not special. also got patreon and sponsors. Simply just lazy. Pathetic that with 160 hours between four grown men that they cant get more accomplished
The concept of 12 hours a day, 12 days in a row is genuinely insane and I love your dedication. Health, of course, is top priority so I’m glad to hear that y’all are slowing down for now to take care of yourselves
you realise that many jobs are just like that, and many do that sort of work and make big bucks, they have killed their channel doing this i hope you know that.
it’s been a lot of fun watching you guys for so many years. I’m still trying to figure out how to get one video out a week
You guys could post once a month and I'm sure most of us would not mind. I've been watching you guys for many years now and it is insane to see how large the channel has become. The only thing I ask is you guys keep the editing and production the same because you make the viewers feel as if we are there. Take all the time you need and remember that you are the one setting the bar for yourself. Also prayers to all of you and your family's and best wishes on a speedy recovery.
It's not that bad….LOL….
nope if they did their channel would die real quick see what you and others seen to fail to understand a lot of people watch this as they would a tv show and you should know that if a show stops comming on so much people get bored and go elsewhere sorry but i think they have killed this channel.
@@themarinerkommer4371 no I disagree most shows stop running due to going bankrupt if i get bored i watch old videos that i missed
@@themarinerkommer4371 just have you know that 63% of America watch reruns after they have finished their shows so disregard what you thought because everyone else does not in fact think the same way you do look past your eyes homie see whats really going on
Although I will miss the twice a week schedule but as a long time viewer I do miss the quality of the older stuff where you were able to take your time and put out in my opinion a better quality episode, like when you were in your dad’s garage. Thank you and I am waiting to see you guys more relax and having more fun. Keep it up guys
you're not disappointing anyone! your content improves by every video! take the time when you need it to take care of yourself and others. gods going to put you through hell but you gotta keep pushing!
We the dedicated viewers, Respect your decision and will be here to support in anyway we can. We are proud of what y'all have accomplished.
i walked away im not gonna sit around to when they decide what they gonna do next im moving on more and more youtube channels are dying out the ass.
Glad to hear that you guys as a company are deciding to focus on your own health and well-being. It will provide the viewer with better content for longer, and make you guys happy!
One video a week is fine with me. Less pressure on the team and the opportunity for "surprise" videos! Stay strong Ike and wishing a speedy recovery to Charles!
Less can be more. Protect your chemistry, you three are great to watch! Props for doing so much for so long!
It’s always good to see UA-camrs realizing that they are just as important as their viewers with you guys getting more time in between uploads the content will just get higher quality keep it up guys!
I love that you are making this change. You have to take care of yourselves first regardless of how hard that is to admit (pointing at myself here) You all were HUGE in driving me to make a channel and I could never believe how often you consistently posted. Your followers will be here and those that only want more are not the ones to have around. Thank you for the honestly in what it takes to do this! Go take a nap and enjoy a drive WITHOUT a camera. 🤘🤘
There is no need to be disappointed. You guys have been doing amazing work over the years. I thing this change is 100% for the better. There is no need for you guys to be stressed at what you guys love, that's not healthy. When you get stressed at what you guys love, that will end up in frustration and you guys will end up in not enjoying what you guys do for a living. Me being a viewer, I love seeing you guys enjoy what you do. Plus, with posting once a week, it keeps your viewers on there tows with anticipation. Keep doing what you guys do! You guys are awesome and have awesome videos! Every single build you guys build is so cool!! Don't feel like you have let your viewers down because you guys haven't!
I started watching back when I was in trade school (sometime between august 2015 and may 2017, so we graduated the same year!). Somehow I never subscribed until Power Tour last year when I saw Ike hanging out with VGG, Alex Taylor, etc. I didn’t realize how much this channel had grown. You guys do what is best for you.
From a fellow business owner, I fully believe that doing what works best for you will only improve what you put out and frankly provide more income for the three of you. Best of luck, and here’s to many more years of having a great time!
Always cool to see the company grow!
I'm making a motorized bike and you guys were pivotal to my build. I owe you everything. thank you guys so much
No lie, I'm gonna miss my Monday and Wednesday C&C fix, but I think this is a great decision for you guys. Not disappointed at all you chose to do this after all these years! Keep up the great work and I look forward to many more stories and builds in the future.
Thanks for the update! I'm glad you're making the decision to make a change and I hope it allows you all to prosper.
l remember years back it felt easy posting twice a week. now getting one a week out is close. yt has changed. rewarding clickbait titles and shorts, then the big tv channels have switched to posting on yt. backing off on the 2 a week is a good idea in my opinion as enjoyment making them without so much pressure to perform will produce a better product,
We all want 4 videos a week, but rational humans will realize it's just not possible. You guys keep doing you and we will be happy with what we get. =)
You guys could post 2 times a month and I'd be just as happy. We all understand and are all so proud of where you guys have come in the years and what you've accomplished. Looking forward to more projects in the future, and all the best wishes to Issac and his family ❤️ love you guys
I've been watchin you for years, and let me tell you, there's no disappointment about changing your schedule. Do what you need to do. Take care of yourselves and your families. We'll all still be here.
Same
YESS!!!
I like that you’re so transparent with all of us. I love all your content and would rather have you all happy and healthy rather than have a schedule that’s always so packed. Personally I wish you all well
Definitely not disappointed. As someone who also had to take a step back from his career to re-evaluate things in life and change careers to compensate, I totally understand this and will continue to watch your videos for years to come.
Been around since the rat rod wagon series, and love the content. Could definitely tell recently that things were taking a toll on everyone. Glad your taking the correct steps to keep everyone happy!
The new format will be great. You and us will enjoy the ride if we are all having fun! Keep up the awesome work!
I think I speak for most of the viewers here when I say that we want you guys to be around for a long long time, we want to watch you guys continue growing, and we damn sure don't want any one of you to get burned out on what you're passionate about, and what we have enjoyed watching for many years now. I've been a subscriber since 2015 and have enjoyed every video. I still haven't made it to a Mini Mayhem yet, but maybe this spring that'll change. We appreciate you guys, and I mean it.
Thanks! I'm in my 60's and been watching you folks for years. To be honest not a full time watcher, but when I do I can't stop!! I just keep watching until I notice that it's late and I can't start, or finish what I was intended to do. Lol. But as the saying goes "IT WILL BE FIND"!! A Big Thank You for all you guys have done! Most importantly take care of yourself and your love ones!! Ill keep watching ,in hopes to catch up on all your episodes. Thank you from us all in Tulalip Washington.
P.S. where'd my hat I purchased 2 years ago? Lol. No worries. I'll be find.
While I am sad to see less content, as I’m sure everyone will be, I am so happy for you guys! Your channel has been keeping me entertained for years, and the health and safety of your team is the most important thing of all. Can’t wait for these new weekly uploads!
Iv been watching your channel right from the beginning and it’s my favourite channel, us viewers would rather you look after yourself and your family’s! All I’m saying is you’ve got over a million of us right behind you❤️
It’s about time. Had no idea how you guys were keeping up that schedule. Looking forward to continued high content with more relaxed hosts.
To be honest I've been hoping for better quality video/build once a week or even every other instead of the recent content that's been rushed or incomplete. Quality over quantity of videos. Glad to hear
Im sure we will all still be here !! Take care you guys !
I am and still will be a dedicated fan. Y'all are the reason I started building minibikes and go carts. Love meeting up with you at Pate's or GPS events. If this is the step you 3 need to take, then this Loyal fan will stay with you. Love you 3 and tell Ike I hope his loved one has all the care and comfort they need. John, love ya bro!! Shout out to Cars and Cameras from Houston!!!
I love y’all so much! Seriously if we can have one video a week, that’ll be just fine. You three gents rock!👏
Take the time you need to take care of life and its challenges, everyone will adapt to the changes :] plus this channel's product is "fun" so keep it fun for you guys too
I’m cool with whatever you all need to do, once a week is better than nothing, hope everyone gets better soon, best wishes to Ike and his family, heal up quickly Charles
Health always comes first, good of you to realize that. Even if you started up a couple of small single build series it would be nice to see the different work styles and fixes of each mechanic seperately too.
I honestly miss those old videos, simple projects that people like myself without a welder can mess with and enjoy. I'm in the final steps of finishing a 110cc street legal pit bike myself, inspired by the cars and camera crew (and maybe Jennies Garage). looking forward to the next mini mayhem!
One video a week is plenty my good man. Heck, with the great job you all do and with the quality of video that you guys put out, once or even twice a month would still be a blessing. Life gets in the way for sure, so what you guys have to do to maintain the enjoyment on your end. Thanks for the great content!
We have wondered for years HOW y’all do it. Granted you are full time, but getting out one a week for us was (and still is) a LOT OF WORK! Keep doing what y’all do, always have been fans and will continue to be!
Just don’t cut out Mini Mayhem or we riot! 😂
Agreed!
Yup.
Yep

Hope everything is good for you guys...love you dude 🤙
Edit: Look..I love the twice a week..but the once a week is far more realistic and I am not disappointed one bit. Health is far more important and you are correct, posting twice a week is unrealistic..love you guys your content is rockin
Good luck out there boys I fully support the channel
Gonna blow him?
I started watching you guys about 2 years ago. The only thing that has me disappointed is that I didn’t find you guys sooner! I binged watched all of your stuff till I was up to date and what I have done lately is let some episodes go by and then binge again lol. You all have done so much for me! You gave me a hobby that I’m getting into myself and gave me so much knowledge and confidence in my own career! And also confidence to work on my own vehicles as well! I’m so sorry to hear the hardships you all are going through and just know that we your fans are so proud to see how far you have come and the amazing work and creativity you have shown throughout all these years!! And no matter the changes no matter what life throws our way, you’ve created a community that will stand by you guys for all the years to come!! Thank you for everything and all of you and your families are in our prayers!!! Stay strong!!! We got you!!!
The "Less is More" paradigm is perfect for what you all are doing. Love your content! can hardly wait to see the finished new build!
I have been watching you guys for years and seeing the great content that has ensued because of it, but I am glad you are taking the time to let us know what you guys are doing
and posting once a week is fine by me. Looking forward to more great content.
I think it's a great step forward. Y'all keep it up!
We’re not disappointed at all. Family and health is more important than anything else. You guys take care of yourselves and your families and we’ll see you Wednesday’s!🤘🏽🤘🏽
I’ve been watching and keeping up since the old 670 lawn mower!
Y’all keep on keeping on, keep doing what you see as best, and stay cool!
You’re still fairly young but I gotta tell you, when you’re a provider, you work so much that you miss things like soccer games, graduations, weddings, funerals, it’s so hard to balance a great career with personal time. I’m 36 years Air Force, I just retired in 2022 and for the first time in my life I’m able to go on trips and spend time with family. As a pilot I was always out of the country. My longest time out of the county was 2 years and 4 months, I had JUST gotten married before I was told to fly here and then I had to fly there and just over that time I flew so many sorties that they kept me busy. It’s good to be retrospective and take a step back to see the big picture. If I had done that there no doubt I would have retired earlier. But my family was so dependent on my income that I wanted to enjoy their super comfortable and easy lifestyle. They were the inspiration I needed to go on those long excursions. So take this time to go do what you have to do, you have loyal fans and we will always be here when you get back. Family is number one always
I don't know how y'all have done it this long. Honestly, one every 2 weeks is a lot with all y'all do. Don't get me wrong I'm sure everyone appreciates the hard work,but take care of yourselves. No matter what y'all will still be one of the best channels on UA-cam.
We all get busy with life. I find myself falling behind on episodes and then trying to binge watch to catch up. I’m actually excited for the once a week. It gives me time to enjoy each episode as I watch them. Really enjoy the channel and will be a lifetime fan. Praying for Ike’s family member.
Y’all are in no way disappointing us. Not gonna lie, been wondering how you guys find time to do ANYTHING other then your YT videos. All of You guys are awesome, just saying better health better videos. We love you guys and keep up the great work. I have been watching y’all for about 6-7 years now.
Only you can take care of you. True fans get that. Not disappointed at all and as a matter of fact, being a small business owner myself, I’m proud of you guys. 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Totally understand. Once a week makes sense. As others have said, please don't feel like you need to up the production quality though. One of the great things about this channel, and I am sure your crazy schedule has been a part of this, is that your videos are not overly polished. I don't mean that as an insult, your videos are some of the best content on UA-cam. But part of that is the raw feel of your videos. It makes us viewers feel like we are there in the shop with you. I swear I sometimes get a whiff of welding fumes in my mind when Ike skillfully cobs something together. Love it! Keep up the great work.
So in TLDR, kicking back to once-a-week posting instead of twice a week to keep up your health?
Dude, I'm surprised you haven't done so sooner! Once a week is the golden spot for that kind of balance with most UA-camrs, you guys are already doing exceptionally well and your own health and family come before the channel always! Keep up everything you do.
I wish Shorts would go away. If there was a way to filter them out of my Subscription page I would. I have picked off multiple channels recently that I followed for years because they began posting multiple Shorts per day. That's way too Tik Toky,
I am sad to only watch 1 video a week but it is more important for you guys to stay healthy, spend time with family and not lose your minds from stress. And I look forward to what the new direction will do for your content.

My families from Charlotte, and I understand y’all operate out of that general area, if I’m not mistaken. Close by, at least. Well I grew up working on projects like you all do; working on go-karts, and small engines. You guys have taken it farther than I ever did, but to levels I wanted to take things, and could have if I had invested more into it. Anyway, I’m just commenting to offer my assistance, if you’d be interested in another set of hands to help out, even if it’s off camera. I’ve always wanted to hang out with you guys and work on projects together, because this is exactly how I envisioned my future as a kid. I was rebuilding flat top 5hp Briggs when I was 5 or 6 years old. Wonderful memories. Still have a yard full of karts and other machines, I’d be happy to bring some of my own things if need be
I'm excited for the future content on this new schedule and I truly hope that this minimizes some of the stress. ITS TIME TO HAVE FUN AT WORK AGAIN GUYS!
Awesome! Take care of y’all. I just found y’all a few months ago. Since then y’all got me to build a go cart, mini bike, chopper mini bike and a pw80. Once a week post, gets me a chance to catch up on your content. Lol
I’m just happy there will still be more videos. Love the content and have loved seeing the growth of the channel, been around since some of the early days.
Guys I get it. Good for you. You need to look after yourselves and friends and family first. If you’re not rested and mentally in a good place you can’t begin to make quality content. It’s amazing how much changes over time. Since I’ve been watching this channel I’ve had 2 kids and seen my spare time drop to near zero. A bit selfish here on my part, a drop in your content upload rate will give me a chance to catch up on all the videos I don’t have much time for anymore! Anyway look after yourselves and we all look forward to following you on this journey for years to come. Thanks for the content.
Sounds like a plan! You guys do what you have to do! I’m not disappointed at all!
Been watching since the begining. Hope all is well, and do what ever yall need to do. Take care of each other and family always comes first.
Excited to see the new structure! I am glad that yall are taking care of yourselves. That is important!
Family and health come first no need for the explanation,I think everyone understands,running a business is challenging especially when you have others and their families to think about and take care of,I personally would enjoy a slightly more polished video with more informative content and how too,always love y'all's restoration vlogs and really appreciate the backyard ingenuity this channel brings,I would personally like to see more of your car restoration videos the truck the caddy,maybe some of Ike's cars ,the backyard toys are awesome but I think there is a market for the cars here on UA-cam,builds drags ,shows ,cruisers,etc thanks for all y'all have done good luck with your future content
I remember watching the first monster Moto mini bike build as well as the why you should buy a vintage go cart video when they first came out. Now I’m a freshman in college.
I’ve been working for almost a full week to edit a video for my channel. It’s under 3 hours of footage. I can’t imaging putting out the amount of videos you guys have.
I prefer when you do a project that it's only one video with a completed, running project at the end. I usually wait for a series to finish before I get involved watching. I enjoy the finished project and watching you guys have fun driving it. Keep up the good work, you guys are great.
Totally understand. Do what you got to do. We will still be watching and buying merch
Thank you for all the videos! Looking forward to what you are able to do with less stress on you and the crew. Y’all are awesome!!
While listening to the video, I had a bunch of thoughts and ideas to suggest, but by the end of the video all I could think of is, most all of your videos ( and I've watched a lot of them) are entertaining to say the least.
I'm unable to get out and bounce around on a "mud mower" or a modified "little red wagon" anymore let along bend over one for hours to peak its performance. So I especially enjoy watching you guys tear down, rebuild and then go "test" the results.
That's what it's all about and if you make one or seven videos a week, us adoring (and drooling) fans will enjoy every minute 😁.
You and the crew, along with your families are in our prayers so keep recording and we'll keep supporting👍❤️.
I just started watching y'all a little over a week ago. Do what you gotta do amigos! I'm sticking around for the long haul.
Its good you guys are deciding to take a step back, usually happens too late for a lot of channels and they get burnt out and you can see it in the content. Been watching you guys since 2015 and you've been going hard the whole time. Luckily Ike has a good boss who lets him take off the time he needs to deal with the family member, a lot of places would tell him to either deal with it on his own time or use his paid time on it. It'll be interesting to see the change in content, hopefully some more long form videos, could maybe keep in some of the bloopers you normally post at the end.
I love watching this UA-cam channel, gives me so many ideas on what I can build/fix, I loved the episode where ya put a predator motor in an ATV frame, that was awesome, I thought about doing that, I am a guy who is into ATV, side by side atv's, at heart I am a die hard 97 through 2006 jeep Wrangler guy, I had an 2004 jeep Wrangler sport, did lots of lift kit mods, big tires, sadly my 2004 got stolen, recently got a low mileage 97 Sahara edition jeep with 113.000 miles 5 spd hard top and soft tops with full doors for a steal, got it for 3,000 that's very cheap considering the low miles and how good of shape it's in, gonna eventually put a 2 to 2.5 in lift on it, I personally know just a two in spring spacers in the front and 3/4 to one one spacer will clear the 33 in tires and ride very well, I love this channel and how everything is explained and how much awesome things you guys build and do
Your content has helped me with mechanical projects I do, such as my Honda mini trail 70, that I'm building for my nephew. You guys are a machine that runs with a beating heart full of pistons, thanks for all your content and I hope this becomes a hobby and not a daily time burner taker easy an I hope all goes well on your end
I would love for you guys to slow down, it'll be great for you guys, it'll be great for the channel, and it'll be great for the quality of your projects. I love longer videos where you guys take your time and go in primed and ready and knowing what you gotta do. I love long term projects, that you guys love and feel invested in. I love the bigger projects, road trips, and i would love to see more actual car content. I loved the miata series, i love your truck, I want to see what you guys do there. Could be super fun! You guys haev been super great and fun to watch!
Wishing y'all the best.... hope everything works out, your true fans will always be here for ya!
Been following you guys since the old “go carts racing around the parents’ back yard” days, and I LOVE that you made this change. Looking forward to seeing you guys more refreshed and able to take more time for storytelling and production. Thank you for sharing your passion with us and entertaining us for so many years. And may God continue to bless you all, your families and this endeavor, for many years to come.
We love y'all, appreciate all ya do. Yer channel has given me something to look forward to through out the years. Even inspired me to build my first mini chopper. Thank you Rob
Friends, family, and yourself come first. Your videos will be just as good if not better as they always have. I remember watching y'all put a 670 on the back of a small go-kart.
This channel is my favourite on UA-cam. Love the vids and the atmosphere in the workshop. Great ideas and a lot of fun. I hope these changes work out well for you guys, professionally and personally.
Trophy truck ep. 1 comes to mind. Your production quality was some of your best on that video. I think it's worth it for you guys to be able to match that level of entertainment and have fewer videos.
Honestly, I wouldn’t say the video quality has gone down, but I have definitely noticed major changes. It all clicked when you mentioned not being able to tell a story. The stories during the builds and the connections we used to get made the content just that much better. If it means less videos to have better stories and build, than that’s not even a question. Take care y’all.
NO sweat. Thank you for helping me build my CT200ex “225 till, race motor”…. Y’all (viewers) know what I’m saying. Thanks you guys. I hope to see you at Busco this year!
I'm just glad y'all still doing your thing on UA-cam instead of motor trend or something else
John. I think I see you correctly, when I say I see a man who fills his cup by filling others'.
It is what makes the heart of the shop that keeps y'all having fun.
What I hear is more quality from a healthier fam.
You've done amazing.
There's no rule against doing this and then adapting the format as time progresses.
Keep everybody happy and well. Not because you must, but because you're good at it.
Best Cars and Cameras video yet.
I did miss you yesterday. I'm glad you know what is most important, the health and mental health of your friends and family. Keep up the good work.
Just bought some merch to help out. Stay healthy guys and live your best life. Love what you do.
1 is better than none. Happy for you guys, hope all is well with Ike's family.
