I always love how enthusiastic will is about everything
going back through this series. Not gonna lie, it's close to my favorite series you all have done. Will and the camera guy are very much part of the crew, and add a TON of enjoyable content. Keep it up! Good luck at the Freedom 500!
Honestly, if the price was $2000 in USA and EU, and you only had to drive to pick it up and drive it away, and it was legal to drive (even if limited in speed), then a lot of people would buy it. Add a tiny silent 3-stroke or 4-stroke engine, and the circuits and electronics to recharge the battery while driving, then even at $4000, a lot of people would buy it as a commuter car with the possibility to use it even for a cross-country drive without having to wait hours every time you want to recharge, as long as you get enough fuel to have it recharge overnight.

And happy birthday to ethan!🎉
like this video!! the way you design This process is amazing! The little car is very well made, very powerful and the compactness is simply perfect. It's unbelievable how well it can move through the forest.
looks like a really large rc. maybe that could be the next project on it, make it remote control!
Belated Happy Birthday Ethan ! It was great to see so many show up to celebrate.The new tank looks fun.You forgot the new 'lap time'.
i got a few good laughs in this episode with the little tank. Cant wait to see more with this thing lol, need to buy a second one for parts and swap a motor into the front for full-time 4x4
@Ethan- from one Ethan to another happy birthday and I’m hopeful for many more years of videos and insites to what a life you and your team has built at grind hard. Will get some ice man, I would’ve done the same thing full throttle is better than no throttle… right? All in all this was one of the BEST grind hard episodes to date, giving us an insite to who you/your team is as a community outside of just work, as always stay Premium boys
I'd be in heaven working with you guys so much fun to be had
It's about time you bought one of these. Many big KZreadrs already have a similar car (pickup-version), but no one has really "tuned" (improved) it yet.
The fun part is, that you can buy one and make a remote controlled Military ground drone out of it. Just put some optics and a 50 cal on it and it would be cool. Better than all of the other Military drones which cost around 250000 dollars per drone.
what were you guys thinking, with sam in the car it was always going to roll... should have had a camera on that at all times :D
Only GHPC can have jumping over a bonfire with a dirt bike AS B-ROLL FOOTAGE 😂 That's the level of awesomeness they have.
Hope you had a great 🎂 birthday, looks like a fun time was had for sure. And the amount of fun you are having with that little truck is brilliant. Nothing but smiles and laughs 👍

These chinese rear axles like the one that you have there are just so impressive when it comes to torque at low rpm. I bought a little chinese offroad buggy with the same Rear-axle-diff thing and it is a beast when I drive it steep uphill or in a uneven forest.

Yes, its a little Electric car with offroad suspension. Looks a little bit like a Willys Jeep and has the exact same looking rear axle.
You have to make this electric car like the barbie van. Long suspension and a crazy motor.
So impressive it had the beans to go up that hill, stock, with Will in it. WAIT!! BOTH of You! 😲The downhill was scary but Will didn't fold. He knows. Don't panic, follow the line and STAY OFF the Brakes! Excellent driving, Will!! If the traction is there, it can do it. Let's make it better. 😉

10:52 I just noticed that they have a Compuware no. 3 C5.R power wheels hung up on the wall. I had one as a kid.
I really wanna get a chang li and mod it now XD That looks like so much fun!!
I want one of those TANK's now! it needs a 2nd powertrain up front with some homebrew knuckles and CV's and stuff.
silicone ear plugs make good diff lockers on small stuff. still have a little for shock on drive train . great vid guys
Man i love this channel! Discovery can't touch this🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Those trucks have a barrel switch built into the door latch. They get stuck from over greasing. Spray a ton of silicone spray into the latch assembly , slam the door ,spray, slam, repeat till chime stops. Your welcome.
That "shakedown" made me laugh. That was good😂
I'm really a fan of your videos I never bought anything from your videos but I love all your videos and love all the things you do. Video you should do build electric tank
roll cage, engine swap, suspension, wheels and it will be premium cant wait to see what you do with it. :)
Can't wait to see these two Adventures with this thing.
Great little machine Happy birthday man great show ✌️
This is awesome This is the best We love you guys Yeah Yall Definitely do the coolest stuff ever
At 1:00 I love how you can see the monster cooper in the reflection 😂
after listening to the pod cast ive been eagerly waiting for this❤
This is so cool! More of this please! 😁
The flip is wholesome content I love it
Dude!! This thing is even more premium than you described in the podcast, and Doug Demuro!!! Noice!!
Get yourselves another motor / rear axle and build a little truck bed for it. Could even slap some tracks on the rear. Might notbe a proper tank, but it'll do as a halftrack :)
Happy Birthday man!!!!!
Sam rolls everything (RBW's Grave Ninja)! 😁
This was so cool that little thing can go anywhere
Something clicked for me watching this and now I want a GHPC collab with Jason Torchinsky from The Autopian.
Grind hard test track?! cant wait to see more of that
Love this EV. Great job guys
Now for a motor that's still 72 volts but way higher amps, up to the max the battery will safely put out. Invest in a thermal imager though and make sure the thermals are ok, don't want a fire
Long Willie is pure gold. The shake down test😂😂😂😂 hahahahaha.
That thing looks like so much fun! But I’m sorry to say that the Kei truck 6x6 is just unbeatable.
Hahahahaha, "I know how concussions feel...it sucks"' - Will ( THAT TOTALLY NEEDS TO GO ON SWEATERS, SHIRTS, HATS) THIS HAS TO BE ONE OF THE MOST HILARIOUS VIDEOS ON GRIND HARD PLUMBING!!!!!
You're the most honest car salesman!
Take that controller apart and look for the "shunts" lay some solder between it and you will notice a huge increase in torque
I was waiting for this video!!!
Oh man Will airing down the front tires probably added more resistance 😅 your power curve at full throttle is below the 65 odd volts the speed controller is rated for in the smart car & not the "72v" lipo batteries. But since it dipped below 68v on max acceleration voltage demand but as soon as you let off the volts on the lipo go up to whatever the battery max charge is at. In a 72volt battery 50% charge is 72v exactly & low volt cut off is like 63v so the operational voltage range is very restricted being a 72v max charge would be 84v. So it wouldn't even lasted that long before you'd need to charge to 75% again not even worth draining a lipo to lvc "Dead" it literally will cut your battery longevity in half too. Thats awesome that it was already wired for 72v though just a little switch of a wire! Very entertaining video guys right up my alley! Cheers from Colorado!!
Happy Birthday Ethan!!🎉
finally some real car content from my favourite channel 😂
I do a lot of electrical work as a maintenance tech. The smoke conversion cracked me up. When someone smokes a motor at work we always tell them, “well you aren’t supposed to let the smoke out” 😂😂
Happy Birthday WILL!!!!
