Reviving a MANGLED $40 Doodlebug Mini Bike | Will it Run and Race?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 июн 2021
- Ike bought a Doodlebug DB30 for $40! The downside is that someone crashed this mini bike, bending the front forks badly. Since then, this abandoned mini bike has likely been neglected for years. In today's episode, we get the old mini bike running, fix the forks, and take it for hot laps!

Every time i shut my eyes when Isaac speaks i hear Hank Hill saying "I sell propane"!😄
Glad I'm not the only one that thinks that
Even years later, this 3hp mini bike is still a TON of fun! Way more docile than 6.5hp and much easier to learn on! Charles still managed to wreck it though!
you should look into the techumseh 10 hp snowking mentioned during the podcast. pretty much any snowblower thats not honda or yamaha will have one on it. revs to about 4500 but is very tourqy
What a Derk
Swap it with a 212 🔥
omg i love your vids pls heart this comment
You need an ultrasonic cleaning machine guys for your carb cleaning...it worth it..it works really good
When you’re in the middle of watching a c&c’s video then you get a notification for a new video that just dropped 😂 yes!!
When you stop yard work during a break to enjoy a new CarsandCameras video.
A Charles sighting . Was going to ask where he’s been
I look forward to watching your videos every Monday and Wednesday keep it up 👍
thanks!
love to see you all run the track on foot!
The little engine that could make 4 grown men smile for ages. Love it.
Love the content guys keep it up!
As Ike would say it’ll be fine
I think it’s an insult to horses to say this has the power of two of them. 😂
it is xD
Horses produce a peak of around 18 horse power. The horse power rating was the average amount of work a horse could do over the course of an 8 hour work day.
But the torque of an elderly squirrel.
@@kickboxs77 It was a joke, Science Guy 🙄
@@donellmuniz590 LOL 😆
You still need like a start/finish overhead line
Just something I’ve tried that has worked for me. When working with a old rusty gas tank, after tumbling like you currently do. Buy some cheap lysol lime and rust toilet bowl cleaner, fill the gas tank to the top and let it sit it’ll shine like new.
29:56 "Fast and Dumb"? That should be a new show on Discovery Channel.
A highlight of this video is Ike kinda doing the robot for a second demonstrating how he didn't want the forks to go all over the place when straightening them, haha, good video! This channel reminds me of spending countless hours in the summer trying to jury rig our old mini bikes and go carts to work after we beat the living hell out of them.
You Tube is really proud of you with all those commercials .
Who else loves when Ike says “she’ll be alright” true 🐐
“That thing is so slow, but the brakes work fantastic“. Ike
LMAO 😂 Classic Ike
Can we get a mini bike collection video? That'd be SWEET!
We're planning on building a showcase rack of mini bikes in the new shop, stacked to the ceiling
Of course I don't know the facts, I can only tell you what this looks like to me: A bunch of JC dropouts that are havin a KILLER TIME playing with this mini, giving the middle finger to normalcy. Respect, dudes.
I think y'all need to get a backpack with weights in it to equal out the weight difference. Then it will be skill that determines the times.
If Peyton's going to be the baseline weight, then poor Charles and John!
27:43 (Howard Cosell's voice): "DOWN GOES FRAZIER!! DOWN GOES FRAZIER!!" 🤣
Did anyone else notice all of the grunts and uggs and the running commentary on each lap until Charles, not a peep. Man on a mission!! The little bikes beat you up but are still a blast. Keep up the great videos.
All these guys will be peeing blood someday!
On your tech tip: if you pull the oil cap and it flows out, see if it smells like gas, cus if you forget to shut your gas valve off and park it for a long time your carb can overflow and the gas ends up in the engine crankcase somehow. Happened to me. It shouldn’t, but it can.
#CLOWN Isaac likes to clown around but he never clowns around in his role as safety officer for the crew . Its a hard job that should be taken seriously and Isaac performs the job admirably no one argued with him and his administration, a real inspiration to all on safety
Always dig the content, The budget stuff is always my fav. Doodlebug for the win !
24:00 John says, "Lemme show (Ike) how it's done". THAT would be a first! 🤣
Ahahahaha.
Sorry John
I absolutely love your air filtration device there 🤣
6:00
Thank you Guys been waiting for something good today!!!
I feel like John crashes everything 🤦😂
Neither of them are much at riding. As long as they don't get hurt, all good.
True I wasn't putting them down I watch them all the time I love their channel but the last three I watched John crashed them 😂
I was going to post this but you already nailed it son.
Crashings part of development. Ive crashed everything two wheeler ive owned/modified. Doing it on low speed machines is all about the bounce, Higher speeds are more about the slides and what stops you.
it was not john this time it was charles
I could see John doing the Hack idea of bending fatigued metal back without welding a quick gusset or strong back........ But Ike, I had faith in you man! your the only one with any knowledge or skills on the Team.
I love the longer videos, and having Payton and Charles in the video is awesome too, keep up the great content, and once again, I heard you mention rc trucks in the creek, please please please do an rc car or truck video, set up an obstacle course with a jump or two.
If u heat the end of the spring u can rebend it, it will work for quite a bit till it breaks
So impressed with how you guys handled all those horses. I bet that much power must be a real gas guzzler :)
I loved johns comment about the hat and the man bun and then says ..we are not gonna sell any now..lol.lol..tjat was funny..lol..still laughing
WTG guys! You all had fun doing it and it was fun to watch... :)
love to see y’all getting that minibike started
You guys are fun. I've been working on my old 2008 chinese GY6 scooter. Electrics played up. I'm not good at this shit. But learning. I bet you guys could help. Oh well. Have a good day guys. ❤
hi this is my first time ever commenting i love your videos keep on going and thanks for the amazing videos.
love the videos guys keep up the good work!
Awesome video guys that looks fun 👍🏻👍🏻
I just picked up this Same Exact db30 in the Same Exact shape... watching this video just motivated me to actually fix mine.
JOHN- "You gotta wonder how much more bump those forks can handle. I hope Ike makes it back sometime this afternoon." AKA THE DANGER BUG!
I have a mini bike exactly like this one and I used it to go to my job for almost two years !!!
I have a couple minibikes we have saved from fields and backyards, they never stop being a ton of fun
Glad you finally straightened the forks!!!
We may not know what happened with that bike, but you can be sure the rider went full-superman over the bars... :P
Yeah, full faceplant, aka a "Bentnose Jawbanger" 🤣
You guys are really starting to shine. Great future.
I didn't think that was going to be a good episode for me but I was wrong. Always good seeing the group
Keep up the great work guys! 😄👍
Y'all are creeping up on the 1M mark 👍. Keep up the good work!
You guys find one of these every month yet I cant find one on the whole internet.
I searched detroitmetro for year's and never one even overpriced. Wtf?
Where do you live, Manhattan??
@@carbide1968 It's a "country folk" thing...white country folk.
@@donellmuniz590 my point is they used to be all over Facebook and craigslist plus you could buy a brand new minibike frame for less than $200 but now the new ones are either $500 or sold out, and there's no used anything anywhere anymore because of people like cars and cameras who buy up every one they find, but what's even worse is most of those people make a shitton of money off them, just glad cars and cameras does it for fun and not for $.
@@donellmuniz590 it's hilarious you have to be rude because you have FIVE HUNDRED comments on this channel 😂
Hilariously funny stuff boys! LMMFAO!!!
You guys rock. I like watching all your videos.
Don't even have to watch to know this is gonna be good
Love your videos guys!
This was a really fun one, fellas. 👍
Wish I could find a mini bike project that cheap couldn’t find a bare frame for under $100 near me
What’s your location I got a doodlebug frame I’ll sell you for $60
We had one of these a while ago. I used to ride on the thing all the time. In fact, I think I liked it better than my CT200U. Just a whole lot of fun. Not too much power, but just enough. My cousin would literally take it out for over an hour and just do 100 laps on their backyard. Wish we never sold it lol.
I love these kind of vids
@ minute 3:00 there is a way to redo the hook... if u have a torch Bernzomatic
Or any torch lightly heat up the end and with some needle nose pliers make the hook.
Also applecider vinegar is great for removing rust. Fill that tank leave it atleast 24hrs and good to go.
Keep these awesome videos going.
Awesome video guys love the mini bikes 👍
Cool Dodge truck! Can I have it? I got a good runnin '67 383 and 727, but nothin' to put it in 😕. B, E, A, and even 2 dr C bodies are too dang expensive! 😑
@@donellmuniz590 I love the old dodges so much
Danger Bug! I love that name! Fix the fork, put a fast engine on it, same brakes and the name will still fit.
Just bought the cousin to this bike. a coleman c100u. Cant wait to start modding it.
I had a yellow one that looked a little more bear than that one, except it had a front fender. Thing had like 5 different engines on it throughout its life. It started with like a 2 and a half horsepower engine on it, and it ended its life with a 10HP crazy engine. It was eventually parked and scrapped when I got into actual mini dirtbikes.
I just custom-built one. 3hp Briggs, and its metallic black with black wheels
Its such a under rated mini bike I put a predator 212 in mine and it hauls I'm doing about 45 stock with the governor off
@@christianruiz7129 yep. the frames are about the best thing out there, the motors are terrible. Stock, they go like 15mph
do another build battle on a budget the real ogs will remember
Owen has to wear the helmet all day!
I swear! Payton has to be a long lost Belushi.
We need one!
Ike, it’s easy to rebend spring steel. Just heat the end to glowing and let it cool down. When you take the temper out of it, it bends easily.
And snaps off after you use it a few times. But, Yeah...done that lots of times!!
@@j.w.3345 Then bend it hot and quench it in oil. I’ve done it to fix small engine springs for decades now and it lasts just fine.
Yeah, heat to cherry red, bend, heat, final bend, heat quench, heat to dull red and let cool.
Hey! I have a 97cc Baja mini bike from the 90’s and my phone gps clocked me at 28 mph down the road today. Starts off slow AFFFF but once it gets going wide open it actually goes lol.
If you want to bend spring steel, heat it up red hot and let it cool slowly... You can then bend it without any issue. I do this all the time on lawnmowers.
I just got done watching duckman do an engine swap on his doodle bug. It's a monster
lots of fun you 3 have!
Psst...(whisper voice)...there was 4 guys there. 😉
@@donellmuniz590 you are correct forgot the cameraman
charles: im good!
I own DB30 it's my go to bike hurts me to see one like that😤. I put a predator 212 and the rest is history
Lol when you took your hat off you made me think of movie night at the roxbury you guys should dress up as them for Halloween lol
You have to buy a mudguard on make one because it needs one😂 but great guys i love watching your videos
I got one of those for free off the side of the road motor blown and threw a predator 212 on it That thing is wicked you can be Cruising and give it a lil more gas and it would loop you every time or if your leaning forward it would spin the tires
BTW guys to turn the choke on and it is towards the exhaust. I now. Allmost every thing about Small engine. I am building my 97cc 2.7hp to the limits
At 22:13 😂😂😂 what in the world happened to Payton’s Jeep
I need get over and have a go at some hot Laps 😃
That is the exact bike I use almost daily around my neiborhood but I've had to do a lot of the same work yall are lol
Ultrasonic cleaner from harbor freight with just water and dawn dish soap works wonders for quick carb cleans👍
The crash charles does is even better at 0.25 speed 😄
I love my DB30 with a 212 and a stage 1 kit it will do wheelies with no problem
I bet the original builder of this Doodlebug never imagined it would be raced competitively in front of 973,000 subscribers.
sometimes , less is best...this lil bug kicks butt
man i love these little bikes i cant wait till i come across a pw 80 0r 90 im going to modifi the hell out of it
Payton looks like Thomas Jacob “jack black”🤣
Was watching blues Brothers and got notification for this video got me thinking ike could be Elwood and John could be jake. A blues brother grand prix maybe?😁
Silly boy! PEYTON is Jake! LOOK at him! 🤣 He's Belushi 2.0! Ike would be Elwood, simply because he's tall, and laconic. John would have to be Murph, or maybe Mr Fabulous 😂.
Ahaha yes someone else thinking like me please don't be mad at us guys its a compliment!! I love cars and cameras channel and blues brother movie just be awesome to see a mash up! 🤣
Looks like the one I had like 5!years ago when I smashed into a tree and bent the forks
I'm convinced that they just brought Peyton on board because John doesn't want to get his hands dirty anymore.
Kinda funny cause it actually still looked fast on the POV camera. :)
Go kart on the street? You know you've done this 😂
I Think These Little Mini Bikes Are The Most Fun.
Ay Charles is back
Fast & Dumb sounds like a good channel.
Hi guys, when i was a kid, early 50's, the doodle bug was sold by sears or montgomery wards, i had one
soooo close to 1m subscribers!!!!!
