Just wanted to drop by and say it was an absolute pleasure flying my drone for your Barbie toy project. The footage turned out fantastic, teamwork was outstanding, capturing all the fun and creativity you put into it. Keep up the awesome work, and I can't wait to see what other cool projects you come up with! Cheers!
Nice work capturing this madness Graydon. You got some awesome shots that took this video to the next level. Every UA-camr needs a talented drone pilot like yourself!
Look up go cart drag racing. There are dozens of classes available, from age bracketed to engine size to chassis type. And if straight line racing is not your thing there are also dozens of race circuits for curvy tracks, both on and off road. Then you have other crazy small vehicle races like lawnmower racing and even some lawn chair racing leagues. The less formal events will have a ton of goofy "toy like" vehicles, some of which are indeed quite quick.
Check out the Power Racing Series!!! It's not about top speed, instead it's a tight technical course. Many cars start off as power wheels before getting full metal frames and big electric motors. I've only completed in one race so far, but it's an absolute blast!
Power racing series. I've competed into it and it's a thing that's been around for years. I believe the base of the car that I used was a Barbie power wheels as well. Although I didn't start the project I took it over after someone did it. It is a blast.
Can’t help but think of Ship of Theseus when I see this “corvette Barbie big wheel ”. At this point it’s a custom build go-kart with a plastic pink shell around it.
Well, the only other way to get a Barbie 'vette to go that fast is to fire it out of a cannon. And you can only do that one time, unless you have multiple Barbie 'vettes.
Yeah but not everyone here is here for cars, I personally am here for crazy shenanigans with mad engineering like a barbie car that keeps up with real cars.
Imagine doing a street race with a brand new c8 Corvette, and you are about to win, but then this abomination just effortlessly passes you. Oh, the shame.
This is something I’ve actually wanted to see, I always knew it would lose to top speed but to see it actually put up a fight and race real ones was awesome!
My guy, I have long since stopped asking "why" you do things... I am very impressed at the relative dearth of fire and electrical explosions in this video/project.
I love the look on David's face at the idea. Edit: Also credit where it's due in all 4 cases you held on far longer than that Barbie corvette had any right to.
Dude,That red building on the starting line looks just like Optimus Prime! They should add 2 blue port-a-pottys on the sides for the arms , and a big gate or something on the bottom front for the grill, and weld an autobot logo on the front, and some big tall pipes for the exhaust. then maybe later add an optimus prime head on the roof.

@@antonliakhovitch8306 The motors are fine if they can handle the heat. It's usually the controller and the batteries that limit the power. The controller needs to be able to put out all of the amps of the battery to the motors. You can take a stock E-bike, change the controller to one that has more phase amps and more adjustability, and gain over 30% power without adding any more voltage. The more amps the more torque and the more voltage the higher the RPM. He can do so much tweaking with what he has already and make gains.
Speed isn't really the problem. It would be absolutely possible to get a toy car to beat the real thing. There's plenty of RC cars that can do it. The problem is driving a car this size at high speed, and not dying 😏
that was an absolute kick in the pants! it was so much fun to watch! watching that little car go from the starting line was hysterical! thank you for all the hard work you put into this awesome video! it was fantastic!
Man I enjoyed this video! I was stoked the whole time watching. Getting excited and crap lol. I like little weird videos like this. It’s showcases talent and pure brilliance from an engineer
Too cool! Great Lakes is a blast! Broadway Bob is looking down from heaven giggling lol! There's been some funny races there. I remember seeing Bowzer from Sha Na Na running down the drag strip racing a funny car.
I use those same batteries in a DIY battery for my cargo trailer in a 19p4s configuration. Yes, that is 76 of those cells!! It took me several days to build. They are barely doing anything though considering the largest load they see is 100 amps. Nice build! I like seeing the different builds people use these batteries in.
Oh, you can totally make that Barbie Big Wheels boogie. Zero motorcycle motor both ends of that thing with a high output EV battery from some recent hybrid car. You don’t need range in a drag race, you need power. I bet you could hit 60 in under 2 seconds easily. Holding on is the hard part.
Aye dude I remember you from flame way back. It’s cool to see you growing this channel and I’m excited to see where you can take it!! Good luck on future endeavors 🫡
What did we learn? Just spend your money on a Barbie corvette instead of buying the c8😂. Honestly, I didn't even expect the Barbie corvette to perform like that. That's really impressive and cool
That 3rd silver vett is the fastest car there, it does not matter that the blue car is newer. I was laughing so hard that you not only kept up with but actually beat some cars, amazing work.

Haha not a bad idea
Use a very tiny woman(or tiny man) driver and a carbon fiber frame. That's going to get your mass and drag way down.

Yeah, just like all the Pro Mod drag cars that claim to be the fastest X car but they share nothing from the real thing
Well, the only other way to get a Barbie 'vette to go that fast is to fire it out of a cannon. And you can only do that one time, unless you have multiple Barbie 'vettes.

Thanks for the help there!
Before you even finished saying "I need to convince my friend David..." I was like "Well obviously he's down."

More powerful motor controllers, and tweaking some field weakening settings would have helped but we didn't realize until afterwards
