      I thought it but never said it at the time. I'm stoked Ethan decided to paint those braces silver on the monster chopper. My only suggestion is to also paint the depression around the intake holes on the sides of the fuel tank silver too. Would be slightly reminiscent of the trim on an old Norton motorcycle tank. Add some vinyl/textured rubber to the seat and 💋🤌 chefs kiss. Would match the insane level of quality and detail on the rest of the bike.

      It's not like he had a choice but to admit his mistake, it's not like a camera was pointing right at the steering shaft, that Edwin put there and does all the editing for so it's not like it wasn't going to be known. .. I bet had that not been the smoking gun of why the crash happened he would have come up with some silly explanation as to what caused him to crash.

    That, my friend, is the hard lesson about nut & bolt checking. Everyone knows....until something like this happens. Then they KNOW. And I think the golf kart wanted to die. It knew it needed rebuilt with a better design. It was just trying to help. The fact none of your parts got wasted just shows it's destiny.

To what I love is how you do hand sharpen, and you have beautiful welds and it work great and I have also always hand sharpened Never paid attention to people saying it has to be at a perfect angle. Absolute nonsense.
    Keep on grinding hard and tig welding great. Cheers.

It happens so fast and without any warning...

    I'm not trying to sound like a fan boy, but Ethan is so talented in so many different ways of fabrication and he seems to be a key member of the team. I've been watching the Humvee LS1 swap videos and the suspension fabrication that he worked on and him knocking out those shock mounts, the shock tie bar, and the radiator shroud with the three electric fans was absolutely perfect...not to mention his TIG welds...I have been an amateur fabricator for years, and I have a nice Lincoln MIG welder, and while I taught myself how to weld, I am nowhere NEAR this guy's skill level. Between the plasma cutter, the mill, the lathe, and his TIG welding skills, that guy is an intricate member of the crew. I am 41 years old and I've owned 77 different vehicles in my lifetime (at least since I was 14), and I learned how to work on cars with the help of my uncle (at first), but I taught myself how to do it from my teens on. I was an ASE Level II mechanic at one point in engine building, but I never used my certification professionally.

    Looking forward to seeing this beast tear around the track again!
    You guys should clear some of the trees near the high speed corners and make some run off areas in case something like that happens again.
    Thankfully Ethan was lucky this time, and walk away unharmed, but having those trees so close is like waiting for something bad to happen.

    Always bend the end of the tig wire so you don't accidentally poke someone's eye out if someone walks by while you are welding.
    BTW love your videos.

    that speed, then the camera showing the steering fail, with the kart hurtling towards a corner/ trees, then that sound. that was a truly terrifying combination.

    If I may give a suggestion; That Compuware Corvette c5R on the wall in the shop, if you ever come to it please drop a V4 engine in that (like from a Honda VFR or Aprilia RSV4) so that it mimics the high revving v8 of the original 😍😍

    Well, that could have gone so very bad. In all of your videos that I've checked out, I don't think you've EVER missed a part, especially if it had to do with the steering. Glad Ethan is okay! Hey, could you guys do a video all about repairing the machines that had been damaged? That would be a nostalgia trip, as well as seeing Ethan come up with some killer improvements for his fixes.
