@@GrindHardPlumbingCo hey guys I my name is Matt and I am fron NC wanted to see if there was anyway you would consider building one of these for someone in a wheelchair like me to be able to feel like I was back atving I miss it but that's things you lose when you get put into a wheelchair and having that but of freedom would be awesome thank for reading and have a blessed day my brother
@@matthewcostner2937 Hey bud there's a lot of builders here in NC. If I had the equipment I'd build s ol mething for you, can't say it would be anywhere as nice as Ethans work, point is you can have it made if you have the pockets. Reach out locally, you'd be amazed what might happen.
The Colonel never stops being the most AWESOME build ever. and it still holds the top spot as the best build on You Tube no doubt. before you lower the gearing. don't forget to get a top speed run documented. I bet it will be right near a hundred miles an hour. or possibly even over a hundred miles an hour. I'm sure there's a way to build or machine some much stronger hubs. after all the Colonel shouldn't be left out of the fun just because there's snow on the ground. YEAH TOTALLY AWESOME !!!
The Kernel has to be my all time favorite of your guys's power wheels builds sounds amazing, aggressive look and fully capable of almost any terrain. Absolutely love it!
That is SICK my dude! Absolute beast of a machine! Looks amazing from any angle too. Good luck to you reinforcing the suspension and sending the crap out of the thing in the mountains! No need to hurry with new vids, your content is always worth the wait. Hope you are having as much fun building and sending it as it's possible. Thanks for that awesome video, cheers from Russia!
Never mind the Channel being fun, and the skill level high.. You guys just seem like a good ol all around group of fellas! Much Love from the MudMonkey ATVs crew ✊🏻🇨🇦🔥
Wow! I like the production and the subject, I have been told a story the right way and I even enjoyed the time laps! that million subs is well deserved. Inspiring stuff all around
@@jacobdesaulniers1826 yeah in Idaho you can get a plate for your orv (dirt bike, quad, sxs) that lets you operate it on state roads so Pretty much any road other than highways and freeways.
This is the coolest channel on UA-cam period. I hate snow and cold weather, and I’d move up to Utah in a heart beat to work with you guys. Love the content.
That thing is SICK with the tracks! Would love to see it in Deep snow where the torque on the front wouldn't be as rough. Could make the ultimate search and rescue toy!
Hey guys! Depending on what aluminum alloy those knuckles are made out of you may need to age them (let them rest unloaded) before they get back up to full strength after welding. 6xxx series alloys need 48 hours to get to functional levels and around 3 weeks before it's at its full strength. 7xxx series alloys need 3 months before you stress it and takes 6 months to get back up to it's full strength. There are others that may need aging but those are the two most common that I know off the top of my head. If you start hammering them with load before they have time to age it results in stress cracks almost immediately and then eventually another failure. That is what I think happened here though I could be completely wrong.
G2 Can-Am Outlander hubs are what you guys should use. Can-Ams come with a high-output 1000cc V-Twin and we, at the dealer I work for, put tracks on them every single year without issues.
The biggest and baddest MFing power wheels monster on the internet. You are one hell of an engineer man. It’s no joke to build such a high HP in such a small package.
This machine, is the best of the best on you tube, in all. Those belts have a lot of torque on them, no wonder the spindle breaks. Try Subaru parts on the front, and it will be fine. Best regards from Norway
I saw the sneak peek in your last video and couldn’t wait to see it fly off the top of a hill. Unfortunately in my opinion with the size, weight and leverage the front tracks cause, rebuilding what broke in a manner that it’s now unbreakable like perhaps out of steel, I think would simply cause the front tracks to find the next weakest link and break that! I’m down for watching the rides and repairs if your up for doing them! My suggestion would be like a lot of others I read, put it in 2 WD and skis on the front and take it in the deep stuff :-) Great video with great music!!
Hey guys I've been thinking about the Colonel's gearing problem and it seems to me the best solution would be to put a small chain and sprocket set from the engines output shaft. You may have to rearrange some stuff and make some bearing mounts. But I think it's right up your alley as opposed to trying to regear the diffs 👍. Plus it would be easily adjustable.
You done broke it good! Love your videos, love Idaho, love your work - from an Aussie fan of your channel that lives up in beautiful British Columbia. Keep the videos coming. You blokes have way too much fun.
8:54 It looks like there is way too much toe in, so when you turn you have to give it may more input and the outer track just pulls itself further inward then breaks.
jumping it on the first test drive is always the right thing to do. maybe try to give the front a bit more negative camber so the side of the track does not dig in when cornering
It looks like your running a fair amount of toe in which should put enormous strain on the hubs considering the lead the tracks has. New hubs in steel and adjusing the tracks straight would be the medicine of choice if the project was mine. Keep up with all the cool creative builds and what-if attitude!
Tracks make any Vehicle 100 times as cool. :D. Frigging awesome. Gogo colonel senders! Part of me thinks you should have done a half-track, but full track just looks so sweet! I SO WANT a set for my car...
Larger tires on the front and tracks on the rear might work. I say larger tires because you said it's "geared lower" with the tracks on. Or turn the front tracks around maybe. With that much torque and the amount of tread farther out from the steering pivot point, you may need automotive grade steering and suspension parts.
Thats so friggen badass once u fix it (upgrade the steering ) I can't wait to see it in deep snow and climb so steep hills she is a monster bro love it so much with the tracks
To all my fellow humans... HOLDTHELINE!
Let’s go!! HOLD THE LINE!!
Holdinnggggg
That thing is sick the only thing like that I ever had was like that was a blue Razor Power Wheel i had like seven years ago
Hold
Love isn't always on time, whoa whoa whoa
Such a badass machine 😍 also can’t wait to see the Barbie Jeep’s new upgrades soon 😬
Very soon!
Nutt
Time to take it to the mountains and see how it dose in deep snow
Next video for sure!
My thoughts exactly.. that's the point in tracks is for snow.. studded paddle tires would have been enough for light snow and trails
I still can’t get over this build it came out so good, nice work
"Thats going to look approximately ... Amazing" 😄
So when are y’all gonna put tracks on Ethan?
As soon as we get cyborg components! Shouldn't be long now.
@@GrindHardPlumbingCo wait wut
Tracked Segway built into Ethan's legs ftw!

My favorite part of the Colonel is your homemade muffler. It's badass! 😁

That thing is a hill climbing BEAST! One of the coolest projects I've ever seen! Great work
I’ve come to the realization that everything it’s better with tracks. Awesome stuff!
“We’ll look into it” Next episode. The Colonel V2 becomes the Power Wheels Hoonicorn
They should totally custom fab that.
4 track burnouts are the bomb! .. ingenuity/welding/fabrication skills ... Stellar !
New drinking game, everytime Ethan says "done" ... buy more $GME
Yes!!!
How many times was that haha didn't even notice!

hahah, Love the reaction(laugh) to the done for the week comment! :D so good to see the joy in the process! :D amazing build!!
It was a super fun day glad it shows!
I love how you guys always turn every summer thing/toy into a snowmobile and every winter toy / snowmobile into a summer toy LOL. 🍺🍺
You guys need to build a mini flat bed or tow truck for when ya break things, it would make an interesting build..
I feel like you might be able to get a military contract on these if you want to build a few more........
I'll test them for you
You guys should have done a timed “snow-lap” before you broke it.
That is SICK my dude! Absolute beast of a machine! Looks amazing from any angle too. Good luck to you reinforcing the suspension and sending the crap out of the thing in the mountains! No need to hurry with new vids, your content is always worth the wait. Hope you are having as much fun building and sending it as it's possible. Thanks for that awesome video, cheers from Russia!
I have no idea why people ever try tracks. They break something every single time. But they do look cool as hell.
Never mind the Channel being fun, and the skill level high.. You guys just seem like a good ol all around group of fellas! Much Love from the MudMonkey ATVs crew ✊🏻🇨🇦🔥
who doesn't want to hear this with a turbo, and a blow off valve?
I love how often you guys break stuff! Build, fun, break, reinforce, repeat!
Send it, Bend it, Mend it? shout out to Isaac!
in a snowcrossGX game.

Nice work on the Colonel guys. Now get it fixed and bring it to the mountains for a full send! Tracks on Everything!
I saw the thumbnail and I was, " Whuuut? Holy shit!"
I'm glad I'm not the only one who slowly works on their house but full sends when it comes to a machine.
Someone needs to show ostacruiser this if he hasn’t already seen it lol he’d be a big fan of this build
That thing with a snorkel and one of osta's famous mud trails would be an interesting concept, wet suit may be required,😁
Wow! I like the production and the subject, I have been told a story the right way and I even enjoyed the time laps! that million subs is well deserved. Inspiring stuff all around
THESE GET TRACKS! That gets a track and those get tracks! EVERYTHING GETS TRACKS!!
Oprah shit...
i love this channel, it makes my day when im on lunch at work and i see yall posted! god bless yall!!!
Next episode: making it street legal 😂😂
That would be so cool!
@@GrindHardPlumbingCo I wonder if you could get a restricted vehicle plate for it.
@@justinlabar1733 is that like a quad plat ???
P

I saw a sneak preview of this in another video and was like no wayyyyy This is so sick that this actually works
that aluminum weld you did was awesome. big props for that, not easy at all.
When a Power Wheels car has more power than your own car..
Now that’s a piece of work!
The little motorcycle was a cool in a funny project.
"it's basically a tank"
this is your best project yet. you should take this to the dunes or the beach for some sand action
Would love to see how this thing would perform in deep sand as well as mud.
We will do a video on this for sure!!
I am so glad that they always just send it! Screw safety sally! Give it the full send every damn time!
By the time winters over, the tree house is gonna have tracks...
That intro! Hats off to your editing skill! Ethan's comment from the crash in the background with the slowy...nice job!
10:23 allow me to introduce myself
Kachow
The grind hard guys finally broke something they could not immediately fix! Incredible!
Fantastic work as always!! When's the odyssey getting tracks? 😂
Awesome job with rock climbing! Can’t wait to see in deeper snow, wish the video was longer!
Getting famous off of comments day 244,so I can live the dream, live every day like it’s your last🤙🚀
Subbed
That looked like a ton of fun! Hope you get it fixed soon and get it somewhere you can really open it up.
❤❤
you amaze me with your creativity of fixing things.
That thing is SICK with the tracks! Would love to see it in Deep snow where the torque on the front wouldn't be as rough. Could make the ultimate search and rescue toy!
Awesome video, portal hubs could be a solution to the gearing issues and a nice upgrade too. Great work! Continue like this!
The Colonel would look excellent as a Half-Track. Wheels at the front, tracks at the back baby!
Would probably also be much happier on the steering
We've had maybe 8 inches of snow here spread out over the last ten, fifteen years... But man, I NEED ME ONE OF THOSE!!! 😍
Sick build. And thanks for the d&b, that was a perfect touch.
Your builds are off the hook man. !!!!!
Just an amazing bit of kit guys , senders is a beast and I watch always 😉

Edwin, your drone skills are BOMB. Keep up the good work. Love yer show.
Now that is freaking AWSOME BRO! I love your work, man keeep on that grindd!!
This is the build I've been waiting for
Awesome machine you built 💪👍
You guys outdo your selfs every video🤩 love to see it
I honestly thought the general couldn’t get any more badass...then this uploads.....well played boys.

Those tracks are superb, looking forward to more, think those hubs need some upgrades, they were getting a beating with the wheels, never mind tracks.
I am so waiting to see your next project. That looks amazing even my wife like the buggy. For your hubs maybe it is time for a homemade steel part?
Just realized you guys are over the million mark!! Awesome!! And get that jeep fixed up !
Congrats on the 1 million followers guys that’s so cool
Another awesome episode of ingenuity and fun, great editing and a very good choice of background music! At least in my opinion.
You done broke it good! Love your videos, love Idaho, love your work - from an Aussie fan of your channel that lives up in beautiful British Columbia. Keep the videos coming. You blokes have way too much fun.
Way to much fun for sure!
Bad ass!!! I didn’t think sendy could get any better.
Senders looks AWESOME as a snow machine
8:54 It looks like there is way too much toe in, so when you turn you have to give it may more input and the outer track just pulls itself further inward then breaks.
Ethan, you are too modest. Edwin, you are so good with all the other facets. The other guy? He fits like a glove! SAM!
This seems like making a tracked 4 wheeler with a lot of extra steps. I approve.
I love how yall are just as proud of the destruction as you are the creation
Now all you guys need is a power wheels tow truck to go with the fleet
Looks awesome ....you will get it straightened out bro ....such a cool toy
jumping it on the first test drive is always the right thing to do. maybe try to give the front a bit more negative camber so the side of the track does not dig in when cornering
I Remember when this channel only had 10000 subs and that WAS A BIG Deal good job on the success
build it break it build it better!! I dig it nice one guy 👍
Now that a rig that deserves a big mountain slop and deep snow...fun stuff
It looks like your running a fair amount of toe in which should put enormous strain on the hubs considering the lead the tracks has.
New hubs in steel and adjusing the tracks straight would be the medicine of choice if the project was mine.

Tracks make any Vehicle 100 times as cool. :D. Frigging awesome. Gogo colonel senders! Part of me thinks you should have done a half-track, but full track just looks so sweet! I SO WANT a set for my car...
It’s so cool how he gets happy when stuff breaks
You guys make some really badass stuff, great work.

Holy smokes that is just super bad ass You guys bring out my enter child Pure awesomeness

That thing looks amazing with tracks..
Best machine on UA-cam hands down.
