The fact that you changed your schelude from 2 videos per week into 1 video per week really shines. Better quality, more enjoyable to watch in my opinion. You guys have come a long way from reviewing carts and cars to actually owning your own place and building stuff from scratch. Really happy that you made this work! Keep it up and best of luck in the future aswel.
and it's clearly not just me who thinks this look at the views their vids from a couple months ago had 400k even 500k and theses new vid tops 170k this vid is 3 hour old and it only has 7,000
@@theLyzhendricks um have you heard of videos getting views over time? A few months ago is a long time to get more and more views. Also they did this for their own mental sake and so that they could honor the deal with Ike so that he is only part time these vids may be longer but they are better quality content and it makes them have less burnout. Remember they have been doing this for years
The video's don't get out there on Monday and Wednesday letting y'all know cause I be looking forward to watching the content I learn some things from and the other channels that do go kart and mini bike stuff
This Video was the same lame build ! in the history of cars and camera how many times you do that same thing over and over?? Lets see a build where you take a 670cc twin and put it on a trail bike that rips that track you have! that would be different and interesting to see ...... i think i sound harsh but i like the longer videos like mentioned and when videos are posted really doesn't matter its who watch's them.... i just like to see videos other then the 212cc style builds. seems like other you tubers are all building about the same and it be cool if c&c was different then the rest
Great video. I really liked the side by side hot laps both to mix it up, and to see who was faster where. I wouldn’t eliminate the first person solo runs, but it’s a nice addition.
I absolutely love the direction of the channel. Cars & Cameras will always be and has always been my favorite on RUclips. This video is a little long but the content is awesome as usual. With great content and long videos means there is a middle ground. This will be the area where Cars & Cameras will shine more than it ever has before. I know you guys will find that perfect balance of "not to long or not to short". I gotta say the crew is awesome but special thanks to John for all the hard editing work and pushing this channel. Without that you have nothing. And to Ike and Charles I say keep up the superb on camera persona and tutorial knowledge. With all of you combined, the mini-bike and go-cart world can NEVER stop you. With all that said I am very proud of you all and will continue to follow this channel as my absolute favorite and I know it will only get better. I hope you show my comment in a future video. As a 13yr Army combat veteran, I know close brotherhood when i see it. Always hoping the best and love you all. Take care!
Be honest, how much of this video did you skip? I fell asleep the first time I tried to watch it. And the second time I only made it through to the end by skipping there terribad engine rebuild tutorial. A couple guys bumbling around guessing about torque specs is not informative nor entertaining.
I have been watching since $50 go kart and I still enjoy every moment of watching your videos. This new chance to longer videos over more consistent has been amazing the quality has sky rocketed and you are able to get so much more valued information while still giving an amazing entertainment experience. Thank you John, Ike and Charles!
You enjoyed EVERY minute of this video? Ive been watching almost as long, not that its a contest, but I fell asleep more than once in this video. This video was WAY too long and full of fluff/filler. Watching a couple guys bumbling around, guessing about torque specs for 45 minutes, is neither informative nor entertaining.
I really enjoyed the side by side laps as well as watching the engine being built and learning tech tips from Isaac. The length was no problem for me; I’ve always wanted to see this kind of episode, but didn’t know how to put it to words.
Summary: I certainly enjoyed the longer format as none of you seemed to be rushed and seemed to be having more fun, which is what it's supposed to be all about after all. You 3 guys never fail to come up with unusual ideas for content. In this particular vid it had a been there done that before feel to it. However once y'all get to tossing your project ideas around and tackling them then this new longer format will really shine. People don't always dig having projects broken down into a couple or three episodes generally speaking. There are exceptions to that but overall I look forward to the next creative build and seeing it happen start to finish in just one episode. If that can't happen once a week then 15 min here on this, 30 min here on that will suffice...as long as it flows into a finished product. One more thought came to mind. Y'all have ALOT of former projects sitting around all over the place. I'm sure many are gone and no longer exist. I'd like to see one episode of all the completed projects that you kept and still have on the shelf. Maybe line everything up and do a start up of all machines and let's hear them all running at once. Then have at it and blast them all around your track. Have somebody else film and all 3 of y'all ride something from the past at the same time. Not necessarily a race but more like continuing action one after another non stop all 3 guys at once just making laps One more idea is more drag racing. At the track and dare I say on the street. If not on the actual street then it's time to build a side by side 330ft (1/16) mile track there at the house. Must run 2 side by side too, not just against the clock. Dirt drags at home could be a huge thing. See y'all on the next one!
I love you guys. I am 52 years old. Back in the day the old mini bikes. Wasn't too much to modify except for what we come up with. Today I still love mini bikes and I love to ride the hell out of them. I definitely like the long content. I rather watch a 20-minute to a half an hour video. Then a 10-minute video. That's what she said. Lol. You guys rock. And it's getting me motivated to build something ridiculous. Thank you once again for the great content. And I just want to say because you guys are crazy and you build some wild things and you take it to the max. May the Lord's blessing be upon you guys. And that he always takes you in his care.
Me personally I like the longer videos because they feel less rushed and you get to see more bloopers and funny parts which is great. I feel more intrigued about each video. The 3 way screens and the editing is amazing.
But they rushed themselves on the project because it seems like they never prepare much and they half @$$ a lot of things. There is a reason the channel hasn't grown and is stuck at a million subscribers and they get a 10th of it in views. I use to love this channel but I don't like hacky stuff either. Do it right or don't do it.
You know this video was recorded weeks ago, well before they changed the format to once per week. Any feeling you get of them being "less rushed" is in your head. They have been posting videos more than a month after record time for over a year now.
@@ralphhondaman True, they didnt know what they were doing. Atleast thats the way it came across. Which is great in their short format of three guys tooling around schtick. Now with a longer format and trying to be a tutorial, all the while, still not knowing any details, second guessing each other every second of the way, heck they guessed on the torque specs. How is that an informative experience?
Great video and I liked the longer form and content. The 3 way split screen was a great touch and made the timed laps seem like a race instead of watching just one person.
The longer videos are great because you guys go more in depth with the builds. I enjoyed the comparison of the engine before the mods and after. That really shows the improvement in performance.
@@theLyzhendricks Agreed, its not entertaining. Believe it or not, this is an entertainment channel. There are PLENTY of in depth tutorial style channels that do it way better. This was a serious step down in Cars&Cameras quality. A couple guys bumbling around guessing about torque specs is not informative nor entertaining. Know your role, stay in your lane and do it well.
These so called VIDEOS are turning into MOVIES……AND I FREAKIN LOVE IT!!!! These over an hour long movies are what’s up cars and cameras keep it up!!!!! Love from AR
how do u want to sit their and watch this for an hour and a half is terrible the editing has gone bad since the longer uploads and its harder to pay attention to
@@theLyzhendricks so I see all you do is post mean stuff about them so how about you either stop watching or support them…..idk what kinda daddy issues you got but they make more money than you for a reason just let them be them
@@johnathantaylor2059 nah this vid pissed me off so now I'm going to every dum comment I see and explaining y it's dum I've ben watching for 6 or 7 yrs their vid can be good but their ruining their channel with what their doing
I really liked the in depth content here. Once you showed all the tools laid out that you'd be using or that someone needed to do this work I knew this was going to be a high quality video. I know my 9 year old son would love to watch this video and even more do do a mini bike build like this. This video is definitely going in my saved videos list for future viewing. I think the long form content is nice once in a while, but don't over extend yourself to produce it regularly, your shorter form stuff is also very enjoyable.
Hey, this is Hayden here and I’ve been a long-term video watcher of you guys. I am subscribed send the racing riding lawnmower, because I am very in the lawnmowers and I very much appreciate the long video. It gives me some time to watch it like I can watch a little bit of a go, do something come back watch more of it and again, and again again and I really liked all the funny jokes in this video. It was really funny and entertaining to watch and you guys are very good job of explaining the engine love, John Isaac, and Charles. Hayden.
Love the lad but poor Ike isn't a naturally gifted rider. But he sure gives it the beans! Charles on the other hand has some and with a racing background to boot so I'd say he's adjusting just fine! Thanks boys!
Trimming the throttle arm is a must. I built my mega motor with a HF 224 and the arm is longer on it and I hit it with my leg and the bike went left and I went right. I hit the ground and broke my right collar bone! since then I also moved the foot pegs out further and a little more forward. I,m an old fart and it makes it easier for me to ride! I'm 71 years young!
@@mmaaddict78 It was a year ago Feb. I have other complications that have slowed down the recover! But the Mega Motor is a blast to play on! best investment I have made in a long time!
I think with one video a week it being between 45 minutes till like an hour and a half is a really good idea it gives you more time to go in depth about the build process and the nitty gritty details and it gives you more time to just goof off and do funny content like your mixologist bit and I would love to see more content like this that's more educational and more humorous and all around just filled with more personality but at the end of the day I understand if this is too much work and regardless if you go down this path or not I will still continue to watch and enjoy the videos and I wish everyone at CarsandCameras the best of luck going forward
An old engine builders trick taught to me back late 70s is to always take a new camshaft and very carefully remove the sharp edges using a sander, grinder or file to a slight bevel otherwise the machined edges often cut into the lifters or pushrod tappets causing premature wear which also accelerates the camshafts wear as the fine metal particles get between the hard facing of the shafts and lifters or tappets or valves depending on which type engine one has... Go slow and carefully until you have the slightest chamfer on BOTH sides and 360 degrees around each lobe.. Same goes for the cut or ground ends on rings,barely sand the ends that you've filed for proper ring clearance/gap before installing,AND ALWAYS use assembly lube or cam break in lube on every single rotating part everywhere throughout the engine.. Including valve stems,valve stem seals,all bearings,nothing installs dry...
Loved the detail throughout the video! Don't get me wrong I love the longer videos and more content, but don't stress yourselves out, 2 40 minute videos would have been A-OK in my book. Keep up the great work fellas!
The new format is much better - obviously this particular video is much much longer than the original 2x per week. But even the first couple weeks that were in the 40ish min range were a real nice change of pace. Overall better content - better editing - and it feels like you guys were able to commit further and "go the extra mile" on the project rather than quickly slapping that last bit together so its running and driving for the end of the episode! I vote this to keep this new format!!
You guys always deliver. The new format is excellent. The sarcasm is spot on. I’m not a mechanic but the technical aspects help me to understand what goes into building enjoyable toys. Great teamwork.
Now that the audio is fix, Just about the perfect episode. I like the length, particularly only getting one video a week now. The instructional aspect was nice, If I ever do engine work I'll use this as a reference. Not all videos need to include instructional aspects but every so often is nice. The 3 camera view of the runs was fun. I could use more footage of you riding though, really that's one of the best parts. Seeing you guys using and enjoying your builds.
this comment pisses me off it so backwards to what i think about this vid this has got to be one of the worst vids I've need on cars and cameras and I've Ben here since they where building the Rat rod wagon years ago
@@theLyzhendricks youtube isn't the same as it was a few years ago. You can't just make small videos anymore. People like watching videos that a better quality and even longer then normal. This video was like a step by step video to show people who might be thinking of doing this power mod them selves. I for one learned alot watching this. If this video is not your cup off tea then bugger off and stop commenting on everyone else's comments. Not everyone has the same taste of videos as you do mate.
@@lachlanjay1144 Except they arent a tutorial channel. This is an entertainment channel. There are lots of channels that do the tutorials MUCH better. Watching a couple guys bumbling around for 45 minutes GUESSING at torque specs and constantly second guessing/correcting each other is not an informative tutorial. As for telling people to bugger off, some of us have been watching this channel for years and are not happy with the quality and changes recently. How else are we to let our voices be known? You can already see from the view metrics this channel is hurting badly from switching formats. They went from several hundred thousand views per week to less than 90k on this video. This is all with over 1 million subscribers. This should tell you that the vast majority, 90+ percent of their subscribers dont like the new content.
I havnt laughed so hard since some of the original videos!!! I was sceptical on the longer videos but the more I depth information and the funny clips are making the videos even better to watch!
Yummy Yummy... let's put it in the motor. I thought the motor oil mixing skit was funny! Not a bad accent. You guys are an awesome team and thank you for all of your hard work keeping us entertained and engaged in what is going on.
Still loving the longer episodes!!! Plus the simultaneous views of all three riders laps was a nice touch. All we need now is the track silhouette in the upper right, it's always been a little difficult to visualize the scale and shape of the grand prix.
I think the neighbors could hear me laughing when Ike dropped the feeler guage the third time! You guys are priceless! Johnny does an entertaining Schtick too!
@@lucassarchet6712 u said i like everything in the episode I'm saying it was bad to long it was boring I've Ben watching for 6 or 6 yrs and their running this channel they need to go back to what they dud originaly
@@theLyzhendricks oh, okay. I've been watching from the beginning and I'm good with the new style. I just had to split it up because of .y job and having 5 kids. To each their own I guess.
as someone who isn't as familiar with building carts/bikes or working with engines i really enjoyed the in depth looks and insightful commentary in this episode! keep it up boys!
Loved the video guys (as always), the longer format means you have try to find the time to sit down and view it unlike the old style which i could watch on a lunch break etc, content wise always great and funny too !
I like everything about this episode I feel like not every episode should be this long but for something like this where we don’t see the minibike very often it’s perfect
The video was great! It's definitely noticeable that you guys have more time to put into making one higher quality video every week. I do enjoy the 20-25 minute videos a little more though. Just a personal preference as I don't always have too much time to sit down and watch a long video. Nonetheless, great job!!!
My thoughts shall be listed here: I very much so enjoyed the great quality of the video I don't love the huge length vid maby a little shorter because I know for me and others it is difficult to sit down and watch over an hour of content because our schedules don't allow for it. I do like the fact that you guys got more enjoyment out of making the video because who cares about the quality of the video if the video itself has no life to it if you can just tell that the creators are just doing it because they have to not because they want to. I am happy with the fact that you are making this change for yourself because while many will be upset the true viewers and the people who have been watching for a long time will support your decisions especially so you don't get burnt out. So all in all I don't have much bad to say maby a little bland but I think that's because of the type of video it was being that it was more of a engine build/ "tutorial". So keep up the good work and do what is best for you not just the viewer.
Ok, guys, I'm a long-time subscriber. I love your content. I personally have learned so much. I do like your new format! I dont mind the longer videos. I appreciate how yall explain things as you're doing it... the content, for me, has been more helpful and interesting. I like the fact that yall are producing only one video a week that still has high quality content. I love the dynamics of your personalities! I think it's apparent to the viewers that yall are true friends that appreciate and respect one another. You guys all seem to mesh well and bounce ideas off one another to get the job done. I watch many other youtubers, and I have to say, I enjoy yall and look forward to watching your video every week. Keep up the great work guys!
Loven the larger time taken to show and explain the details, the small stuff. Mfg instructions are not so 1st. time users complete. I've been watching you from way back. Adding some real people laughing is even so real also. Thanks for sharing.
I can say without a doubt I love the new format of one posting a week. I was a bit saddened that I would see fewer episodes but now I can say it was a good move by you guys. I love the longer videos and greater detail I think this was a huge win for you guys. Thanks for all the content!!
I liked how there was 3 videos lined up for each person's run, so you could really get a good idea of who was winning and were, ike won but John was real close to catching up in a few places. I thought it was cool to see!
A touch long winded but love the banter between you ' three stooges '. Do not change! Also John, doing the straight played mixologist was too funny. Enjoy all ya content, just don't comment much.
I liked the video (and I "liked" the video) the content was good, its fun to watch you guys pal around, I also love getting into the weeds of the project, the length of the video is a good thing, and ill just say I understand and support you guys on your decision to go to once a week, builds like this are expensive as well as it gives you time to focus on one project and get more accomplished by the end of the video. I subscribed when you guys were building the 70mph mower that Ike flipped and I haven't missed an episode! Thanks as always for the fun content!
The length was fine great information and the humor lol I had to double take to see that Isaac had his safety classes upside down 😆. Keep up the good work guys.
I think it was pretty cool throwing in the 3 camera view. Been watching for a few years now. I don't even have favorite person all 3 of yall are awesome on what yall do.
I did the same kind of wipeout that Ike did on his test lap but I broke my finger in half and broke 3 ribs and punctured a lung. Also absolutely love your content no matter how short or long. I have been here from the beginning.
I just wanna thank you guys for the inspiration over the years, I now own 3 Go karts, I have a vintage manco 400-11, a 1980 cal-kart intruder and just recently bought a yerf dog 3203 from a friend of mine for $160, which I plan on putting my 2020 tillotson 212R mkII engine on, that has a billet rod, gps mikuni vm22 carb and 18lb valve springs. I got my intruder up to 50 mph with a 60 tooth sprocket in it with that engine and just bought a .265 fire cam from gopowersports that I will be installing soon. Can't wait to see what this engine will do in the yerf dog after the upgrades and always looking forward to all your content, you guys rock!
I wasn't ready for a movie as long as my Charlie Chan movies. I watched it, but I delayed it a couple of days because it was so long. I generally like 20 to 30 minute videos on RUclips, because I'm subscribed to about 40 channels and I want to get through them in one day if I can. I would have preferred splitting it into 3 parts, but that's just me. One video a week is fine for me. I've got about 15 tool restoration channels, 20 Lionel model train channels, 10 big train channels to go through every day. I watch on my big screen tv and RUclips shorts aren't worth the time so I skip those. We've come a long way since John's parents garage and am looking forward to many more years of fun. I'm 75, so I'll probably be there for the end. Why me? Because my first motorcycle was a Fox Campus bike in 1962. I can relate.
Love the new weekly content, I know you do a few engine video mods, but I do like the unusual vehicle builds,ever thought of a child's battery vehicle & putting one of yr engines in 👍🇬🇧
Hi guys, been watching since the drift trike build years ago, I can tell with the 1 episode a week you guys seem to be more chilled out, love the content guys keep up the awesome work :) 1:24:40
You know this video was recorded weeks ago, well before they changed the format to once per week? Any feeling you get of them being "chilled out" is in your head. They have been posting videos more than a month after record time for a long time now.
Like the longer more in depth video. Also wish this kit was available when I built my tillotson. Keep it up, the editing will become easier as you do more videos like this
Great video. Wife and I love the comradery between you 3 guys. We like the way you work together and we like the way you have fun together. We love that you have a clean language atmosphere. God bless Cars and Cameras. 😎 Jeb and Reb
A slight technical jargon correction - at 25:00, Ike is using what engineers call a Vernier Guage or "Very Nears", as Rolls Royce engineers refer to them as, because minute skewing introduces inaccurate measurement readings. A Micrometer looks totally different and is screw thread adjusted plus designed so that skewing is impossible, hence a Micrometer will always give a far more accurate measurement reading than a "Very Near".
I liked the 3 video at the same time, we could see how close you race, not that we didn’t knew it already, and who was gaining ground during the track. You made a longer video ok, but you made pleasant to see. Keep the good videos coming. I’ll be fine 👍
I love the level of detail in the video but I both like and hate the length of it. I like it because you can get more details in it but hate it because then I have to make sure that I have the time to watch it. Either way, keep up the great work guys!
Talking of wide open throttle… When we were kids we used to help out my uncle with his stall at motorcycle shows and my cousin took his minibike to ride around, after some tinkering to get it started he got it running but it was stuck WOT and my cousin (around 7-8yr old) was heading for a row of very expensive vintage bikes!!! At the last second my uncle managed to grab the handle bars and yeet the bike up in the air and avert a disaster. Good times 👍🏼
The length didn't bother me. Loved the detail and the interesting trick with the rist pin change. I had not seen it before now. This was much more involved with information and detail, so I felt like it was really enjoyable. Thanks for taking the time to share this. Have fun and stay safe.
Always use blue loctite thread locker on side covers,valve covers,rocker box covers,and anywhere you will need to be able to remove but don't want the hardware to work lose or vibrate out...and yes that includes all small engines,motorsickles,chinkanese,yapanese,tilotsonese,brigssese,tecumsehese,etc..
Y'all started off rough. I couldn't tell who was having the personal issue 😕 y'all were feisty. But it ended humble fun and wholesome. Y'all really was moody from missing each other. Y'all do awesome stuff. Keep chilling and y'all will always have a smile 😁 much love. Y'all should do more activity stuff. Loved when y'all did the road trip. Good memories.
At first I was reluctant to watching this clip right now, I felt like it was too long. But it dawned on me I have no life so I watched it anyways, and it didn't feel like an hour and a half! It was very fun and educating. But I still think you need to keep the videos a bit shorter than this if people are gonna find the time to watch all of them, except maybe for a longer special episode now and then, like I guess this was. Otherwise pros and cons for one or two episodes each week.... I don't know, I could go on forever. But in the long run I think one episode a week is better, even though I've enjoyed the diversity week after week with two episodes. But one episode, even if it's a bit longer, will decrease the stress from you guys, making it more fun to make the videos, and I think that will benefit us all. Thanks for uploading! Greetings from Sweden
For someone who hasn't worked on a lot of engines this video is perfect. Just like looking over your shoulders as you explain what your doing. The video length was necessary to explain everything. The cocktail oil mix was funny. Maybe It would be possible to have the Mixologist stop by again with tips and tricks. May I suggest that you purchase Issac his personal gurney so he has an in house recovery place. Maybe better if it was mounted on a dedicated vehicle so he could be recovered more easily from the crash location. Wonderful video as always. Thank you.
I loved the length of this video. It made up for the once a week because I have my alerts on and watched it every day it came on. An hour long video was great and it was nice not having to wait for a second part of a video! Love yalls content!
I like the once of week posting. It allows for a longer more detailed video and I like the attitude from all of y’all during these one of week videos. I look forward to more
Big fan of the longer episode game me something to watch on and off all day. Only thing I dislike bout once a week is I still get excited on Mondays for a video and it's just not there.. Ha cheers guys
The surest way to start a small engine after fuel removal is to press and hold the kill switch down,pull the pull cord full stroke several times while kill switch is depressed,release,apply choke,wick throttle 1x,then yank the pull cord and if all is right it should start and run,if all isn't right then it won't..😮
I miss the twice a week but I was happy to see the longer video after being really sad when it was not up on Wednesday night when I tried searching for it! I’m really looking forward to more on the two rails! 👍
Funny story I have with the throttle wide open. I was putting around on a new to me motovox with a Predator 212 with a stage 1 kit. The previous owner couldn't get it to run right. I checked it and all it needed was the lifters adjusted. I was riding through some saplings on my property, I was going to turn around to see how it could climb. It had power and I was always careful with the throttle because I had the front wheel lift up when I didn't want it. All of a sudden it it went full throttle and the front wheel was off the ground. I remember rolling the grip forward to bring it down. It came down and I was going straight to a tree. I just thought to lay it down so I leaned it over and tried to get the left foot peg into the soft dirt. I missed the front tire with the wheel but the front right foot peg was broken off, the pull rope housing that I just repaired was smashed in and my right tibia, at the top, hit the tree. I rolled out and thought I had to shut it down before it drove off but the low oil sensor shut it off. I found my glasses, got my bearings and looked to see why it tried to kill me. A small stick, the width of a pencil, went between the pull start housing and gas tank and pinned the throttle lever back. I had to call my wife to tell her I think I broke my leg and needed a ride to the hospital. I had to have surgery to put in plates, screws and wire to let the tibia heal up. Your wide open throttle recommendation is very real and dangerous. It has earned the nickname "Bone Breaker"
The fact that you changed your schelude from 2 videos per week into 1 video per week really shines. Better quality, more enjoyable to watch in my opinion. You guys have come a long way from reviewing carts and cars to actually owning your own place and building stuff from scratch. Really happy that you made this work! Keep it up and best of luck in the future aswel.

Without that you have nothing. And to Ike and Charles I say keep up the superb on camera persona and tutorial knowledge. With all of you combined, the mini-bike and go-cart world can NEVER stop you. With all that said I am very proud of you all and will continue to follow this channel as my absolute favorite and I know it will only get better. I hope you show my comment in a future video. As a 13yr Army combat veteran, I know close brotherhood when i see it. Always hoping the best and love you all. Take care!
Be honest, how much of this video did you skip? I fell asleep the first time I tried to watch it. And the second time I only made it through to the end by skipping there terribad engine rebuild tutorial. A couple guys bumbling around guessing about torque specs is not informative nor entertaining.
I have been watching since $50 go kart and I still enjoy every moment of watching your videos. This new chance to longer videos over more consistent has been amazing the quality has sky rocketed and you are able to get so much more valued information while still giving an amazing entertainment experience. Thank you John, Ike and Charles!
Thanks!!
@@CarsandCameras Agreed!!
You enjoyed EVERY minute of this video? Ive been watching almost as long, not that its a contest, but I fell asleep more than once in this video. This video was WAY too long and full of fluff/filler. Watching a couple guys bumbling around, guessing about torque specs for 45 minutes, is neither informative nor entertaining.
I really enjoyed the side by side laps as well as watching the engine being built and learning tech tips from Isaac. The length was no problem for me; I’ve always wanted to see this kind of episode, but didn’t know how to put it to words.
Summary: I certainly enjoyed the longer format as none of you seemed to be rushed and seemed to be having more fun, which is what it's supposed to be all about after all.
You 3 guys never fail to come up with unusual ideas for content. In this particular vid it had a been there done that before feel to it. However once y'all get to tossing your project ideas around and tackling them then this new longer format will really shine. People don't always dig having projects broken down into a couple or three episodes generally speaking. There are exceptions to that but overall I look forward to the next creative build and seeing it happen start to finish in just one episode.
If that can't happen once a week then 15 min here on this, 30 min here on that will suffice...as long as it flows into a finished product.
One more thought came to mind. Y'all have ALOT of former projects sitting around all over the place. I'm sure many are gone and no longer exist. I'd like to see one episode of all the completed projects that you kept and still have on the shelf. Maybe line everything up and do a start up of all machines and let's hear them all running at once. Then have at it and blast them all around your track. Have somebody else film and all 3 of y'all ride something from the past at the same time. Not necessarily a race but more like continuing action one after another non stop all 3 guys at once just making laps
One more idea is more drag racing. At the track and dare I say on the street. If not on the actual street then it's time to build a side by side 330ft (1/16) mile track there at the house. Must run 2 side by side too, not just against the clock. Dirt drags at home could be a huge thing.
See y'all on the next one!
I really appreciate the longer format with more in depth explaining of what you are doing. Thank you guys keep up the great work
I love you guys. I am 52 years old. Back in the day the old mini bikes. Wasn't too much to modify except for what we come up with. Today I still love mini bikes and I love to ride the hell out of them. I definitely like the long content. I rather watch a 20-minute to a half an hour video. Then a 10-minute video. That's what she said. Lol. You guys rock. And it's getting me motivated to build something ridiculous. Thank you once again for the great content. And I just want to say because you guys are crazy and you build some wild things and you take it to the max. May the Lord's blessing be upon you guys. And that he always takes you in his care.
Me personally I like the longer videos because they feel less rushed and you get to see more bloopers and funny parts which is great. I feel more intrigued about each video. The 3 way screens and the editing is amazing.
But they rushed themselves on the project because it seems like they never prepare much and they half @$$ a lot of things. There is a reason the channel hasn't grown and is stuck at a million subscribers and they get a 10th of it in views. I use to love this channel but I don't like hacky stuff either. Do it right or don't do it.
You know this video was recorded weeks ago, well before they changed the format to once per week. Any feeling you get of them being "less rushed" is in your head. They have been posting videos more than a month after record time for over a year now.
@@ralphhondaman True, they didnt know what they were doing. Atleast thats the way it came across. Which is great in their short format of three guys tooling around schtick. Now with a longer format and trying to be a tutorial, all the while, still not knowing any details, second guessing each other every second of the way, heck they guessed on the torque specs. How is that an informative experience?
Great video and I liked the longer form and content. The 3 way split screen was a great touch and made the timed laps seem like a race instead of watching just one person.
The longer videos are great because you guys go more in depth with the builds. I enjoyed the comparison of the engine before the mods and after. That really shows the improvement in performance.
but is so bad tho it boring to long send its a re-upload cause the edit sucked and they had to fix it
I agree love the longer videos and the side by side runs and your in depth build help me with my build keep up the good work 👍💪
@@theLyzhendricks people make mistakes mate. Not everyone is perfect. Stop being a asshole about this
@@theLyzhendricks Agreed, its not entertaining. Believe it or not, this is an entertainment channel. There are PLENTY of in depth tutorial style channels that do it way better. This was a serious step down in Cars&Cameras quality. A couple guys bumbling around guessing about torque specs is not informative nor entertaining. Know your role, stay in your lane and do it well.
These so called VIDEOS are turning into MOVIES……AND I FREAKIN LOVE IT!!!! These over an hour long movies are what’s up cars and cameras keep it up!!!!! Love from AR
how do u want to sit their and watch this for an hour and a half is terrible the editing has gone bad since the longer uploads and its harder to pay attention to
@@theLyzhendricks are you for real?
@@theLyzhendricks so I see all you do is post mean stuff about them so how about you either stop watching or support them…..idk what kinda daddy issues you got but they make more money than you for a reason just let them be them
@@johnathantaylor2059 nah this vid pissed me off so now I'm going to every dum comment I see and explaining y it's dum I've ben watching for 6 or 7 yrs their vid can be good but their ruining their channel with what their doing
Every time John suggests something, MAKE HIM DO IT.
I really liked the in depth content here. Once you showed all the tools laid out that you'd be using or that someone needed to do this work I knew this was going to be a high quality video. I know my 9 year old son would love to watch this video and even more do do a mini bike build like this. This video is definitely going in my saved videos list for future viewing.
I think the long form content is nice once in a while, but don't over extend yourself to produce it regularly, your shorter form stuff is also very enjoyable.
Hey, this is Hayden here and I’ve been a long-term video watcher of you guys. I am subscribed send the racing riding lawnmower, because I am very in the lawnmowers and I very much appreciate the long video. It gives me some time to watch it like I can watch a little bit of a go, do something come back watch more of it and again, and again again and I really liked all the funny jokes in this video. It was really funny and entertaining to watch and you guys are very good job of explaining the engine love, John Isaac, and Charles. Hayden.
Love the lad but poor Ike isn't a naturally gifted rider. But he sure gives it the beans!
Charles on the other hand has some and with a racing background to boot so I'd say he's adjusting just fine!
Thanks boys!
Trimming the throttle arm is a must. I built my mega motor with a HF 224 and the arm is longer on it and I hit it with my leg and the bike went left and I went right. I hit the ground and broke my right collar bone! since then I also moved the foot pegs out further and a little more forward. I,m an old fart and it makes it easier for me to ride! I'm 71 years young!
Damn, broken collar bone at 71 has got to be rough. Get well soon.
@@mmaaddict78 It was a year ago Feb. I have other complications that have slowed down the recover! But the Mega Motor is a blast to play on! best investment I have made in a long time!
No rear suspension at 71?!?! Wow! I sold my 1970 ct90 to a man your age he test rode it with a foot brace on! He's gonna love that bike I sure miss it
@@jhaedtler Hope I can still enjoy riding at your age. Wish you the best of health.
You guys always make me smile, Ike with the unveiling of the chrome, lol.
I definitely like the longer videos. Keep them coming!
I like the length of the vid, seeing the build thru, with riding at the end to show results instead of breaking it up.
I think with one video a week it being between 45 minutes till like an hour and a half is a really good idea it gives you more time to go in depth about the build process and the nitty gritty details and it gives you more time to just goof off and do funny content like your mixologist bit and I would love to see more content like this that's more educational and more humorous and all around just filled with more personality but at the end of the day I understand if this is too much work and regardless if you go down this path or not I will still continue to watch and enjoy the videos and I wish everyone at CarsandCameras the best of luck going forward
Love the new format, the three in one picture effect works really well. Keep it up guys.
I love the longer videos it feels like we get more content since it's only once a week
An old engine builders trick taught to me back late 70s is to always take a new camshaft and very carefully remove the sharp edges using a sander, grinder or file to a slight bevel otherwise the machined edges often cut into the lifters or pushrod tappets causing premature wear which also accelerates the camshafts wear as the fine metal particles get between the hard facing of the shafts and lifters or tappets or valves depending on which type engine one has... Go slow and carefully until you have the slightest chamfer on BOTH sides and 360 degrees around each lobe.. Same goes for the cut or ground ends on rings,barely sand the ends that you've filed for proper ring clearance/gap before installing,AND ALWAYS use assembly lube or cam break in lube on every single rotating part everywhere throughout the engine.. Including valve stems,valve stem seals,all bearings,nothing installs dry...
Loved the detail throughout the video! Don't get me wrong I love the longer videos and more content, but don't stress yourselves out, 2 40 minute videos would have been A-OK in my book. Keep up the great work fellas!
Awesome work as always guys 🙌 I dig the longer format too 👌👌
The new format is much better - obviously this particular video is much much longer than the original 2x per week. But even the first couple weeks that were in the 40ish min range were a real nice change of pace. Overall better content - better editing - and it feels like you guys were able to commit further and "go the extra mile" on the project rather than quickly slapping that last bit together so its running and driving for the end of the episode! I vote this to keep this new format!!
Very ok with the feature length, hope the algorithm gods treat it favorably
You guys always deliver. The new format is excellent. The sarcasm is spot on. I’m not a mechanic but the technical aspects help me to understand what goes into building enjoyable toys. Great teamwork.
Thanks! We figured we’d really nitty gritty on this one. I like how it turned out.
Now that the audio is fix, Just about the perfect episode. I like the length, particularly only getting one video a week now. The instructional aspect was nice, If I ever do engine work I'll use this as a reference. Not all videos need to include instructional aspects but every so often is nice. The 3 camera view of the runs was fun. I could use more footage of you riding though, really that's one of the best parts. Seeing you guys using and enjoying your builds.
this comment pisses me off it so backwards to what i think about this vid this has got to be one of the worst vids I've need on cars and cameras and I've Ben here since they where building the Rat rod wagon years ago
@@theLyzhendricks youtube isn't the same as it was a few years ago. You can't just make small videos anymore. People like watching videos that a better quality and even longer then normal. This video was like a step by step video to show people who might be thinking of doing this power mod them selves. I for one learned alot watching this. If this video is not your cup off tea then bugger off and stop commenting on everyone else's comments. Not everyone has the same taste of videos as you do mate.
The audio was HORRIBLE, still. So much static.
@@lachlanjay1144 Except they arent a tutorial channel. This is an entertainment channel. There are lots of channels that do the tutorials MUCH better. Watching a couple guys bumbling around for 45 minutes GUESSING at torque specs and constantly second guessing/correcting each other is not an informative tutorial. As for telling people to bugger off, some of us have been watching this channel for years and are not happy with the quality and changes recently. How else are we to let our voices be known? You can already see from the view metrics this channel is hurting badly from switching formats. They went from several hundred thousand views per week to less than 90k on this video. This is all with over 1 million subscribers. This should tell you that the vast majority, 90+ percent of their subscribers dont like the new content.
I havnt laughed so hard since some of the original videos!!! I was sceptical on the longer videos but the more I depth information and the funny clips are making the videos even better to watch!
Yummy Yummy... let's put it in the motor. I thought the motor oil mixing skit was funny! Not a bad accent. You guys are an awesome team and thank you for all of your hard work keeping us entertained and engaged in what is going on.
Still loving the longer episodes!!! Plus the simultaneous views of all three riders laps was a nice touch. All we need now is the track silhouette in the upper right, it's always been a little difficult to visualize the scale and shape of the grand prix.
I think the neighbors could hear me laughing when Ike dropped the feeler guage the third time! You guys are priceless! Johnny does an entertaining Schtick too!
I liked everything about the episode! I just had to watch it in two sittings. Keep it up guys!
how it was so bad like thay have made such better vids in the past
@@theLyzhendricks what do you mean? And why are you replying to me with this?
@@lucassarchet6712 u said i like everything in the episode I'm saying it was bad to long it was boring I've Ben watching for 6 or 6 yrs and their running this channel they need to go back to what they dud originaly
@@theLyzhendricks oh, okay. I've been watching from the beginning and I'm good with the new style. I just had to split it up because of .y job and having 5 kids. To each their own I guess.
as someone who isn't as familiar with building carts/bikes or working with engines i really enjoyed the in depth looks and insightful commentary in this episode! keep it up boys!
Loved the video guys (as always), the longer format means you have try to find the time to sit down and view it unlike the old style which i could watch on a lunch break etc, content wise always great and funny too !
That Mixoligy bit was THE BEST . So funny and was awesome.
I like everything about this episode I feel like not every episode should be this long but for something like this where we don’t see the minibike very often it’s perfect
The video was great! It's definitely noticeable that you guys have more time to put into making one higher quality video every week. I do enjoy the 20-25 minute videos a little more though. Just a personal preference as I don't always have too much time to sit down and watch a long video. Nonetheless, great job!!!
My thoughts shall be listed here: I very much so enjoyed the great quality of the video I don't love the huge length vid maby a little shorter because I know for me and others it is difficult to sit down and watch over an hour of content because our schedules don't allow for it. I do like the fact that you guys got more enjoyment out of making the video because who cares about the quality of the video if the video itself has no life to it if you can just tell that the creators are just doing it because they have to not because they want to. I am happy with the fact that you are making this change for yourself because while many will be upset the true viewers and the people who have been watching for a long time will support your decisions especially so you don't get burnt out. So all in all I don't have much bad to say maby a little bland but I think that's because of the type of video it was being that it was more of a engine build/ "tutorial". So keep up the good work and do what is best for you not just the viewer.
Thank you for filming this in 30fps instead of 60fps. Looks so much more cinematic!!! Hate hate hate 60fps except for slow no things!
The length was good. Build Detail was perfect. Editing with split screen was so so. Once a week is cool.
Ok, guys, I'm a long-time subscriber. I love your content. I personally have learned so much. I do like your new format! I dont mind the longer videos. I appreciate how yall explain things as you're doing it... the content, for me, has been more helpful and interesting. I like the fact that yall are producing only one video a week that still has high quality content. I love the dynamics of your personalities! I think it's apparent to the viewers that yall are true friends that appreciate and respect one another. You guys all seem to mesh well and bounce ideas off one another to get the job done. I watch many other youtubers, and I have to say, I enjoy yall and look forward to watching your video every week. Keep up the great work guys!
Loven the larger time taken to show and explain the details, the small stuff. Mfg instructions are not so 1st. time users complete. I've been watching you from way back. Adding some real people laughing is even so real also. Thanks for sharing.
I love this format. Your half hour videos were fun, but this full week quality actually learns me something. I could watch this twice. 4x quality
Being honest with you guys. Since all we get from you all now is once a week to me the length of this video was perfect.
I had fun watching it TWICE, once without most sound, but enjoyed it more with sound!
1st time was like an old skool silent movie with a new skool touch 😂😂
I can say without a doubt I love the new format of one posting a week. I was a bit saddened that I would see fewer episodes but now I can say it was a good move by you guys. I love the longer videos and greater detail I think this was a huge win for you guys. Thanks for all the content!!
Absolutely loved it. I like the complete run down to hot laps comp thing. Very satisfying.
I liked how there was 3 videos lined up for each person's run, so you could really get a good idea of who was winning and were, ike won but John was real close to catching up in a few places. I thought it was cool to see!
I love the videos once a week only because the videos are longer. I like the one hour videos.
First long video I've seen in awhile. Great job yin's guys keep up the great work
A touch long winded but love the banter between you ' three stooges '. Do not change! Also John, doing the straight played mixologist was too funny. Enjoy all ya content, just don't comment much.
I liked the video (and I "liked" the video) the content was good, its fun to watch you guys pal around, I also love getting into the weeds of the project, the length of the video is a good thing, and ill just say I understand and support you guys on your decision to go to once a week, builds like this are expensive as well as it gives you time to focus on one project and get more accomplished by the end of the video. I subscribed when you guys were building the 70mph mower that Ike flipped and I haven't missed an episode! Thanks as always for the fun content!
The length was fine great information and the humor lol I had to double take to see that Isaac had his safety classes upside down 😆. Keep up the good work guys.
Great job guys! Love the triple screen that's awesome. Thank for the laughs! Loved the way y'all did this episode and keep having fun! 🔥🔥🔥
I think it was pretty cool throwing in the 3 camera view. Been watching for a few years now. I don't even have favorite person all 3 of yall are awesome on what yall do.
I like the long episodes. More time to go into more detail. Keep up the great work
I did the same kind of wipeout that Ike did on his test lap but I broke my finger in half and broke 3 ribs and punctured a lung. Also absolutely love your content no matter how short or long. I have been here from the beginning.
I just wanna thank you guys for the inspiration over the years, I now own 3 Go karts, I have a vintage manco 400-11, a 1980 cal-kart intruder and just recently bought a yerf dog 3203 from a friend of mine for $160, which I plan on putting my 2020 tillotson 212R mkII engine on, that has a billet rod, gps mikuni vm22 carb and 18lb valve springs. I got my intruder up to 50 mph with a 60 tooth sprocket in it with that engine and just bought a .265 fire cam from gopowersports that I will be installing soon. Can't wait to see what this engine will do in the yerf dog after the upgrades and always looking forward to all your content, you guys rock!
I wasn't ready for a movie as long as my Charlie Chan movies. I watched it, but I delayed it a couple of days because it was so long. I generally like 20 to 30 minute videos on RUclips, because I'm subscribed to about 40 channels and I want to get through them in one day if I can. I would have preferred splitting it into 3 parts, but that's just me. One video a week is fine for me. I've got about 15 tool restoration channels, 20 Lionel model train channels, 10 big train channels to go through every day. I watch on my big screen tv and RUclips shorts aren't worth the time so I skip those. We've come a long way since John's parents garage and am looking forward to many more years of fun. I'm 75, so I'll probably be there for the end. Why me? Because my first motorcycle was a Fox Campus bike in 1962. I can relate.
Love the new weekly content, I know you do a few engine video mods, but I do like the unusual vehicle builds,ever thought of a child's battery vehicle & putting one of yr engines in 👍🇬🇧
Best hour and twenty five minutes I've spent this year.
Hi guys, been watching since the drift trike build years ago, I can tell with the 1 episode a week you guys seem to be more chilled out, love the content guys keep up the awesome work :) 1:24:40
You know this video was recorded weeks ago, well before they changed the format to once per week? Any feeling you get of them being "chilled out" is in your head. They have been posting videos more than a month after record time for a long time now.
Love it all like the long episode learn a bit along the way just can't wait for the dragster episodes
Like the longer more in depth video. Also wish this kit was available when I built my tillotson. Keep it up, the editing will become easier as you do more videos like this
I'm 36 and I'm just got my first mini bike and this channel is such a good reference for me. And the videos are amazing.
Great video. Wife and I love the comradery between you 3 guys. We like the way you work together and we like the way you have fun together. We love that you have a clean language atmosphere. God bless Cars and Cameras. 😎 Jeb and Reb
A slight technical jargon correction - at 25:00, Ike is using what engineers call a Vernier Guage or "Very Nears", as Rolls Royce engineers refer to them as, because minute skewing introduces inaccurate measurement readings.
A Micrometer looks totally different and is screw thread adjusted plus designed so that skewing is impossible, hence a Micrometer will always give a far more accurate measurement reading than a "Very Near".
I liked the 3 video at the same time, we could see how close you race, not that we didn’t knew it already, and who was gaining ground during the track.
You made a longer video ok, but you made pleasant to see.
Keep the good videos coming.
I’ll be fine 👍
I loved the whole thing. Love the details too, better to have a bit more info than not enough.
I love how goofy ike is wearing is safety glasses upside down
I love the level of detail in the video but I both like and hate the length of it. I like it because you can get more details in it but hate it because then I have to make sure that I have the time to watch it. Either way, keep up the great work guys!
20:52 "you might be on it going for one heck of a ride."..... sort of like a radio controlled go cart!😂
Who else remembers that one?
Talking of wide open throttle…
When we were kids we used to help out my uncle with his stall at motorcycle shows and my cousin took his minibike to ride around, after some tinkering to get it started he got it running but it was stuck WOT and my cousin (around 7-8yr old) was heading for a row of very expensive vintage bikes!!!
At the last second my uncle managed to grab the handle bars and yeet the bike up in the air and avert a disaster. Good times 👍🏼
The upside down safety glasses that Ike wore for part of the video absolutely killed me!!!
The length didn't bother me. Loved the detail and the interesting trick with the rist pin change. I had not seen it before now. This was much more involved with information and detail, so I felt like it was really enjoyable. Thanks for taking the time to share this. Have fun and stay safe.
Always use blue loctite thread locker on side covers,valve covers,rocker box covers,and anywhere you will need to be able to remove but don't want the hardware to work lose or vibrate out...and yes that includes all small engines,motorsickles,chinkanese,yapanese,tilotsonese,brigssese,tecumsehese,etc..
Y'all started off rough. I couldn't tell who was having the personal issue 😕 y'all were feisty. But it ended humble fun and wholesome. Y'all really was moody from missing each other. Y'all do awesome stuff. Keep chilling and y'all will always have a smile 😁 much love. Y'all should do more activity stuff. Loved when y'all did the road trip. Good memories.
At first I was reluctant to watching this clip right now, I felt like it was too long. But it dawned on me I have no life so I watched it anyways, and it didn't feel like an hour and a half! It was very fun and educating. But I still think you need to keep the videos a bit shorter than this if people are gonna find the time to watch all of them, except maybe for a longer special episode now and then, like I guess this was.
Otherwise pros and cons for one or two episodes each week.... I don't know, I could go on forever. But in the long run I think one episode a week is better, even though I've enjoyed the diversity week after week with two episodes. But one episode, even if it's a bit longer, will decrease the stress from you guys, making it more fun to make the videos, and I think that will benefit us all.
Thanks for uploading! Greetings from Sweden
John the Mixologist was awesome!! Good accent!! Nice recipe.
For someone who hasn't worked on a lot of engines this video is perfect. Just like looking over your shoulders as you explain what your doing. The video length was necessary to explain everything. The cocktail oil mix was funny. Maybe It would be possible to have the Mixologist stop by again with tips and tricks. May I suggest that you purchase Issac his personal gurney so he has an in house recovery place. Maybe better if it was mounted on a dedicated vehicle so he could be recovered more easily from the crash location. Wonderful video as always. Thank you.
Oh my gosh, the Johnny Johnson skit was hilarious. Nice job!
I loved the length of this video. It made up for the once a week because I have my alerts on and watched it every day it came on. An hour long video was great and it was nice not having to wait for a second part of a video! Love yalls content!
I like the once of week posting. It allows for a longer more detailed video and I like the attitude from all of y’all during these one of week videos. I look forward to more
I like the longer videos. Love the in-depth motor build.
I agree with most of the comments. The new format is very good. You guys are checking all the boxes. Excellent job!!!!
Big fan of the longer episode game me something to watch on and off all day. Only thing I dislike bout once a week is I still get excited on Mondays for a video and it's just not there.. Ha cheers guys
You guys are funny, Charles is a good addition to your team, ..Even though it's been awhile, I thought I'd mention that...
Like the length, content is always perfect. Editing was awesome
Going into all the little details was great to watch, thanks guys!
The surest way to start a small engine after fuel removal is to press and hold the kill switch down,pull the pull cord full stroke several times while kill switch is depressed,release,apply choke,wick throttle 1x,then yank the pull cord and if all is right it should start and run,if all isn't right then it won't..😮
I miss the twice a week but I was happy to see the longer video after being really sad when it was not up on Wednesday night when I tried searching for it! I’m really looking forward to more on the two rails! 👍
New format is Perfect. Don't change a thing boys.
Funny story I have with the throttle wide open. I was putting around on a new to me motovox with a Predator 212 with a stage 1 kit. The previous owner couldn't get it to run right. I checked it and all it needed was the lifters adjusted. I was riding through some saplings on my property, I was going to turn around to see how it could climb. It had power and I was always careful with the throttle because I had the front wheel lift up when I didn't want it. All of a sudden it it went full throttle and the front wheel was off the ground. I remember rolling the grip forward to bring it down. It came down and I was going straight to a tree. I just thought to lay it down so I leaned it over and tried to get the left foot peg into the soft dirt. I missed the front tire with the wheel but the front right foot peg was broken off, the pull rope housing that I just repaired was smashed in and my right tibia, at the top, hit the tree. I rolled out and thought I had to shut it down before it drove off but the low oil sensor shut it off. I found my glasses, got my bearings and looked to see why it tried to kill me.
A small stick, the width of a pencil, went between the pull start housing and gas tank and pinned the throttle lever back. I had to call my wife to tell her I think I broke my leg and needed a ride to the hospital. I had to have surgery to put in plates, screws and wire to let the tibia heal up. Your wide open throttle recommendation is very real and dangerous. It has earned the nickname "Bone Breaker"
