I'm sad, I've wanted to have a grind hard project and when I heard about the 6x6 ranger I wanted it as my first ever car (getting my permit soon!) but I went to the website and was already out bidded, maybe one day I will get a project from them
That little machine is insane! The combination of it being silent, powerful, and small is simply perfect. Can't believe how well it can maneuver in the woods.
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.
@@Noahdea611You can get a 48/60/72V one like the one in the video for a couple hundred dollars Edit: or maybe you meant the entire car? For that money you can literally pick up a Citroen Ami, Opel Rocks-e or Fiat Topolino. Doubt it'd be that expensive?
You guys are amazing ive been following yall for years and i cant express how much you changed my life I can say for certain you guys got me into cars and building cool, super dangerous, awesome stuff thank you so much!!
Drone shot backflip edit at 18:38 was clean, next try that to end a chase shot behind one of your builds for a crazy transition! You guys are killing it with the edits
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.
It's about time you bought one of these. Many big RUclipsrs already have a similar car (pickup-version), but no one has really "tuned" (improved) it yet.
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.
@@ElectroFriedRiggin I just Googled it... cool little thing... it would help if you got the front-wheel drive optional, to save power for when you need to play...
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.
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.
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
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
Remind me when I took my cousins club car golf cart through his woods. I did surprisingly good although I did get a stick stuck in the frame. Good job on the video. Also, I’m surprised you Guys didn’t get the truck one
@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
👍👍 Never let the magic smoke out of the wiring 💨. Oops, too much fun, roll over, where is the in car camera footage. Amazed that little car stayed together.... next step 4 wheel drive?
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 :)
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. 😉
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 👍
We’ll just keep driving our 11 Ranger XLT super cab 4WD with the 4.0L V6, 5spd automatic transmission 3.55 limited slip differential with a tow pkg, custom 2 tone paint (Silver over Red metallic), custom upholstery to match the custom paint, custom wheels, pinstripes, window vent shades, rear air shocks, LineX spray in bed liner, tonneau cover, K&N intake, 3” FlowMaster exhaust. I changed the front and rear differential, transfer case and transmission fluid at 30K miles. I change the oil and filter every 6 months (about every 1,500 miles) with Valvoline High Mileage full synthetic oil. (High Mileage motor oil has additives to reduce wear). I run Cooper Discoverer A/T tires. Each winter I put 260# of sand bags over the rear axle for better traction on the snow covered roads. Our 11 Ranger will soon be 13 years old and has only 36K miles.
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
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” 😂😂
I am in love with this ,I never have drove or had a license , yet dream of something like this that's a Adult Mobility Scooter. so I can get around in all weather,and have some Independence.
"Do you experience jealousy when you see a child driving around in a Power Wheels? Well, we have the car for you!" This is literally an adult Power Wheels. Okay, 'adult' is being generous. This is an immature adult Power Wheels. Needless to say, I absolutely love it.
I love the Tank grill and headlights. If you don’t know what Tank is.. it’s China’s off-road brand of body on frame 4x4s. The Tank 300 is one of few Chinese vehicles I wish was sold in North America. It’s beautiful. Also… those look like 4Runner TRD wheels. Haha
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!!
If you like that little differential you guys need to check out the Arrma RC monster truck line up. They are little electric trucks that are built very similar to your electric car and they rip. You guys need to give them a try!!
What do you guys think is the speed of the tiny car after the upgrades comparing the the OG? Can swapping the motor controller and motor increase the speed and power? this video was so fun.
Go purchase a wrecked sport bike, like a busa, gsxr or a zx-10 Kawasaki that has a good running engine & put in that e-car . If you want to stay electric find a wrecked Telsa car & take the motor out of that & put it in your electric car. I think it will be a really fast car eith way.
i'm ev enthusiast. I'll suggest u to 1. Change the controller to 72v support such Votol EM-150 / Nanjing Fardrive 2. change the battery into 72v Lifepo4 , 100Ampere will be outstanding. using the softpack. 3. See the difference Change my mind, make the new content after you read this comment

I love this channel. Great group of guys. Crazy but awesome
Could you guys do a couple speaker builds?
I'm sad, I've wanted to have a grind hard project and when I heard about the 6x6 ranger I wanted it as my first ever car (getting my permit soon!) but I went to the website and was already out bidded, maybe one day I will get a project from them
Sad to see it go
you should sell it to the cboys
That little machine is insane! The combination of it being silent, powerful, and small is simply perfect. Can't believe how well it can maneuver in the woods.
Is use 2 Washing machine Motor. 2HP
Im actually surprised at how well this worked with a battery upgrade
We were too!
They should still put the better motor in it though
Petition for Grind Hard to collab with Surronster and build that thing into a beast 🔥💯🇺🇸
Nah it needs a gas motor fuk this ev shi
I agree
And drift the streets of LA with it
Yeas
Yes. Do more extreme electric builds please. I’m talking more power than colonel.
Will talking to the bird about concussions was hilarious.
My favorite part of the video hands down
I will remember that for a very long time
Hilarious and wholesome both. Helping the little bird out and being like "I know how you feel, man, it'll be alright" very true for will 😂
Watched it ~10 times, hilarious 😂😂

Where would you add the generator? It's already very limited on space. But yes I believe this would be a good purchase.
maybe it is still better than a scooter, or safer 😂
Why in China everything cost 50% lest
@@carkawalakhatulistiwalow wages. That’s the key. Too expensive elsewhere. Or not enough funding in places with even cheaper wages than china.
I went to the sight thru their link and it's $13K to buy the tank
I love how the motor controller is universal and just needs some wires connected together to set it to a different voltage.
yeah I look at getting one to mess with and they are for $8,000
@@Noahdea611You can get a 48/60/72V one like the one in the video for a couple hundred dollars

I can say for certain you guys got me into cars and building cool, super dangerous, awesome stuff thank you so much!!
And happy birthday to ethan!🎉
I always love how enthusiastic will is about everything
It really does look like a 2/3 scale Bronco. It's so cool!
Or a 4/3 scalp Barbie Camper
It’s better than a Bronco..they’ve offroaded it and the steering didn’t break immediately!
It's actually based of the great wall motors tank 300
looks like a really large rc. maybe that could be the next project on it, make it remote control!

It was so smooth, I was watching for it after seeing your comment and still missed it 😂 that was slick
Litterally just the car that the mom drives in the lorax movie

Only GHPC can have jumping over a bonfire with a dirt bike AS B-ROLL FOOTAGE 😂 That's the level of awesomeness they have.
I want one of those TANK's now! it needs a 2nd powertrain up front with some homebrew knuckles and CV's and stuff.

It would be nice if you included music names Grind Hard.

dude the editing in this video is actually preeeeeemium! well done fellas
I hope Cleetus buys the 6Wheel Ranger as a prize for the Danger Ranger race.
That would be a beautiful thing to see
now i want to see ethan get 4 electric motors and make each of them drive their own wheel with independent long travel suspension all around.
that would be so cool! and take it up the mountain and rockcrawl with 4-6 ppl in it for the ultimate test
@@ElectroFriedRiggin I just Googled it... cool little thing... it would help if you got the front-wheel drive optional, to save power for when you need to play...

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.
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

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.
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
Remind me when I took my cousins club car golf cart through his woods. I did surprisingly good although I did get a stick stuck in the frame. Good job on the video. Also, I’m surprised you Guys didn’t get the truck one

Cboys is bidding on this for sure
I'd be in heaven working with you guys so much fun to be had
silicone ear plugs make good diff lockers on small stuff. still have a little for shock on drive train . great vid guys
You have to make this electric car like the barbie van. Long suspension and a crazy motor.
The tiny tank is definitely a keeper. Now if only you could improve the storage, it would make a great camper
Im just glad to be a part of these guys adventures. So dope. 🎉🎉🎉🎉
I'm jealous, seems like a fun bunch of bros and that property is a total motorsports playground
I already know this is gonna be a banger!
Take that controller apart and look for the "shunts" lay some solder between it and you will notice a huge increase in torque
Excellent 👌👌👌 second time watching this put a Hayabusa engine under the hood of Tank
HAYABUSA ENGINE ON IT!!!
👍👍 Never let the magic smoke out of the wiring 💨. Oops, too much fun, roll over, where is the in car camera footage. Amazed that little car stayed together.... next step 4 wheel drive?
You guys inspire me to wanna do stuff like this 🤣
Happy birthday Ethan! Your party looks so premium!
Of course if Sam drove it he broke it.
Sam kills everything whether it's his or not.
Oh yeah
Sam is GHP's Hert (Hoonigan).
I can’t believe it happened again
Sam rolls everything (RBW's Grave Ninja)! 😁
$1500. Did you buy it used. They are 8k on the electric import site
Clickbait
It's that price on alibaba.
There are many cheap EV micros, if you buy direct from chinese factories as low as 2000 dollars
Thumbs up for Cars and Bids, great place to do business. Good luck with the sale!!
Now you got a fake Bronco, now ya need a REAL Ford Fiesta, and set it up to go amateur rallying FOR REAL. Team GHPC.
That would be amazing, so down
Go for it! I bet Ethan would volunteer to be the driver...Maybe you as co-driver Edwin? @@GrindHardPlumbingCo
The car is actually $8,750 on the website
The higher voltage should surely help with power alright , can't imagine it was so easy to do.
You guys put the Chinese "old folk's joy" to a new limit....such a great works and fun.😆
part 2 be like: completely new 4x4 chassis for the TANK!
roll cage, engine swap, suspension, wheels and it will be premium cant wait to see what you do with it. :)
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 :)
Turn the blinker off then it will go up that ramp. That will be just the power you need 😂
You need to get a second axle and modify it to steer and add it to the front and upgrade both bldc motors to like 2500w or more
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. 😉
This is my favorite channel you guys inspire me to work on my own projects and im so sad d media went to trash they have so much potencial
Get a holster for your phone dude! then use it ans save on pushups!
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 👍
At 1:00 I love how you can see the monster cooper in the reflection 😂

Something clicked for me watching this and now I want a GHPC collab with Jason Torchinsky from The Autopian.
There are hundreds of EV producers in China, some micro EVs are as less as 2000 dollars; exports well to developing countries.
Finally seeing the little red monster, definitely lived up to the hype! Thing looks rad!

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'.
It looks like an RC car center diff. If you guys have to replace it try to pack it with 20 million dif fluid. It's basically a silicone puddy.
If a Bronco & a Highlander had a baby, you'd get this baby Bronco, Smol Edition.
Dude!! This thing is even more premium than you described in the podcast, and Doug Demuro!!! Noice!!

That Ranger is independent rear suspension and solid front axle? Idk how I hadn’t noticed that before. That’s even more unique than a 6x6.
That is an expensive little red bean. $8,750 with a $250 deposit... but they are running a sale where the deposit is $249...

i'm ev enthusiast. I'll suggest u to
1. Change the controller to 72v support such Votol EM-150 / Nanjing Fardrive
2. change the battery into 72v Lifepo4 , 100Ampere will be outstanding. using the softpack.
3. See the difference
