And after 6 1/2 years of building this channel with Ethan, I finally started learning to weld…

We should make industrial strength crab glasses...

Ethan looking on like a proud father as Ethan risking life and limb is bombing around at breakneck speed on a sketch overpowered mini quad. PREMIUM 😎.

I love that Edwin does electric builds while Ethan does petrol at the same time 💯💯

19:10 when you free spin it, it sounds a bit like the world's tiniest street bike bouncing off the highest limiter known to man 😂

Love it or hate it, you can't deny how much fun an electric setup can be. The instant torque is so addictive!

Nice to see Edwin doing Ethan stuff for a change

I worked with robots for years and am currently a lithium battery technical specialist, so take these as you will, but I hope they can possibly help with the monster chopper.

If you're having an electrical signal issue, and you're not finding the issue just by stripping the wires, try checking your crimps on your pins. Make sure you're not slightly over shielding, and do a slight pull test to check for suspect loose crimps. Either of those things can give an intermittent issue that comes and goes. The other thing I'd recommend checking out, is your sockets you plug into each other, for loose connections, a shift in a gasket that doesn't allow you to seat properly, a pin that isn't latching into the seat it should lock into, and it'll move as the connection heats up, and vibration can seperate it, or discoloration on those pins.

Hopefully this helps you, good luck with figuring out your gremlin.

Carbon Fiber filled PLA is NOT stronger than ordinary PLA!!! It has weaker layer adhesion! However, it is much more wear resistant.
I suggest print most of parts that would not be hot from PETg and parts that you need to be near hot stuff from ABS. If you want more impact resistance - print all with ABS.
p.s. 3D printed parts are NOT aluminum and they're not injection-molded plastic, so always make them thicker.

What I would love to see is a crop, cut and assemble video of Ethan's welding tips, he's so wholesome. This starts at about 14:00 and he's talking about uphill/downhill and angled welding with different techniques as to welding a thicker material to a thinner and angles about what you hope to achieve, he corrects the 'too fast' and the 'stuck rod' in a positive and encouraging way. This is the essential spirit of a true teacher. There's NO "I'm gonna show you how much better I am" .... It's ALL "I want to HELP YOU to BE better." Humble and wholesome. That 4 minutes of film made me a better welder and I've never even tried welding.

I love the childish smile at 52:30 because he looks so happy while saying that’s only half of the power

Mod suggestion to this quad: extend the rear axle and put the motor directly there, it will give more space for battery inside the frame and you won't need to worry about chain tension over a pivot.

10:15 "it does make my eyes sore"

I about choked on the sandwich im eating 😂

[blackryan]

21:14 - That made me feel warm and all that. Respect to bro's out there. You can't replace them

[dyrt]

I did a build very similar to this using an old rusty tao tao quad and a 1800w motor about a year ago. Man I wish I had a plasma table to make parts like that. To call the frame of my quad crooked is an understatement. Kids love it, though.

[wilderstewart]

damn dude. Edwin stepped tf up and is like "i could learn that why not" hell yeah.

[cROSSeyed]

That thing is sick. You guys should make a "builders kit" of all the custom brackets you made, and sell em. So a guy could buy everything and weld it together.

[jamesgarrison]

I love when yall are actually out just ripping the projects. We need some more videos of yall actually out playing on the bikes and toys you have built. Just seeing the joy of your creation!

[jw]

it doesn't get talked about enough how much the tunes add to these videos. whomever is producing these chill jams, well done.

[kevinsellsit]

At 36:00 you said "it is so crazy you can watch the steel melt".
I took TIG welding in college and the most important thing I learned is WATCH THE WELD POOL AND LEARN TO MAKE IT DO WHAT YOU WANT.
As for tiny high power controllers, there is a limit to how small they can get. That limit is thermal. Some small controllers specify the mass of heatsink they are required to be bolted to. While airflow is great, chunky aluminum in that airflow is ideal.
