Yeah the ending is one hell of a cliffhanger but I want you true fans and jump to conclusion internet fast tracker know it alls to know Unplugged Performance makes an amazing brake upgrade for this car. If you watch closely you will see one major thing I didnt do when installing the brakes. And that one simple thing almost took my life. Avi and unplugged have an amazing company and i want to repeat nothing from their product was the cause of the incident. It was still a Tesla issue in my opinion and Unplugged even warned me of this issue. Live on and do better is my motto this yr. But besides that the support from my family and friends that already know what happened, have been amazing and i could never have made it without your help and prayers. God Bless you guys!
One heck of a cliffhanger I’m glad that you’re alive and well and yes I’m sure He was watching over you!
Thank goodness you’re alive and well Chet!!
Get well soon Chet!! Im so sorry!!
Cleeter McSkeeter gave me a heads up about your crash.
Just a guess but aren’t the rotors supposed to have safety wires through the bolts?
Honestly, I’m just happy you are alive and wishing you a speedy recovery bro.
I don't think he flushed the old brake fluid. I see Motul 660 bottles on the table, but he only mentions bleeding. I suspect once he heated up those new brakes it boiled the fluid and caused pedal loss. Regardless, glad you're ok. Or at least ok enough for now...
Bingo.
You live and you learn. Good thing he is still alive and learned the hard way. He is lucky.
exactly
yeah, how is it a Tesla issue? lol
Garrett said on his channel that you were in a crash. Uncle Chet you are to important to us. You are easily the most underrated person in this Country. I’m a new subscriber. I’ve seen you pop up in pretty much every automotive channel as just an awesome person that helps people any chance you can. Then I did some research about you. Wow is all I can say sir. Like I said you are easily the most underrated person in this country.
Co-signed. Much love to you for verbalising this and to you Cheyenne. Your British brothers wish you a speedy recovery ✌🤘🇺🇸🦅
Prayers for your recovery Sir, I heard the news on Cleetus video and sent out a message on turbo world fb forum, and then saw this video notification. Love your work, ef a tesla.
Just finished the vid... Man was that a scream at the end? freaky shit, really glad chets alive and (hopefully) well.
Jesus, get off his nuts…
Glad you came out ok, like Matt from SXS Blog said “When you live close to the edge, it's easy to fall off.”
Personally, I’m thankful for your ability to even be making this video. That means you’re still here and breathing the same air with us. However, I am extremely sorry to know that you had to live through this. No one likes to be hurt and racers never like to breathe any of their mortality while in the cockpit of their race rig. It’s the worst…hands down!!
We know that we take associated risks from the day we first begin peddling of our bikes, ‘til the first day we get behind the wheel-but regardless, we just never expect when we crash… it’s all too surreal in our minds eye. Thankfully our rigs are just replaceable parts and you’ve made it to see your family, friends and later…1320ft again.
Bless you and your healing journey-those race gods want you to kick ass man, clearly!
Didn’t bench bleed the calipers, or bleed the system all the way and refill fluid is all I can come up with 🤔
Holy shit brother,, glad you’re still here to tell the tale.
Sometimes you have to be able to cycle the ABS for it to fully bleed. It may have auto cycled just enough to let some air into the system.
Damn. Heard Garret mention your wreck. Glad your still with us man and wishing you a speedy recovery.
Hope you’re all good mate, speedy recovery
Dang it, I was watching this video and going to sleep right after but with that ending, now sleep is being postponed for a bit. Glad your still alive to tell the story and get well soon.
Good call on upgrading the brakes for track work.
Praying for u to have a fast recovery 🙏 💓
Damn Chet! Sending positive vibes for a quick heal. That footage was scary enough
People care so glad your alive. I have had a few instances of me forgetting to do things on brakes and learning the hard way, i don't know whats more scary no brakes or having a tyre blowout at speed.
We all make mistakes best to learn from them and keep moving forward
The handle pivots on the old wrench so your force is on that pi oof pin to give you the correct ftlbs. If it didn’t an you choked up on handle the torc wouldn’t read right because it’s measuring the deflection not actually force.
Yeah, float the handle so the pressure is on the pin, not either end of the handle to get an accurate reading
Yo Chet, see if you can get an ammeter (amperage meter) and clamp it around the 400V wires. Do some pulls, note the amperage down, and then do the same on the stock Plaid. Should show how many amps difference there is. EDIT: Well, should've watched till the end. Nevermind, lol
I’m coming to reclaim my damn torque wrench.🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yeah I can't imagine those brakes without completely flushing the original fluid out and using full silicone based. 5 in there.
Cant Believe TBM doesn't have brakes for the Plaid, lol
Haha its a niche market for sure! Honestly they shouldnt even be needed but Tesla refuses to recall them and admit they are inferior for 5k”lbs and 1000hp
Hope your feeling better soon, sorry to hear you got banged up. I have always enjoyed your videos, very entertaining. Hope to see you continue to make quality content. Thanks for what you do!
Hope you make a full recovery and get back to racing soon Chet. You’re so full of life and we need you.
I hope you have a quick recovery!! love your videos
First thing I did with my track car was high temp fluid, this should be everyone's first move. Power is awesome and all, but I'd rather be able to stop safely 🤣
Damn Chet, hope you get better soon dude! Glad you are still with us brother. Would be a damn shame to lose one of the coolest dudes on the internet, and on the planet!
Oh geez, I NEED to know what happened. You would get into an accident and STILL make the content for another video lmao you're committed my friend!
Love the video Unc. Get well soon brother!
Love your content. The world needs more people like you in it. So glad the accident wasn't any worse than it was. Hope you make a fast and full recovery. Take care
I really appreciate the wide frame your filming in. I can finally zoom in to fill the screen properly on my phone without cropping any video
Can confirm the European IKEAs have rear wheel steering😂
How you feeling mate heard got into some mischief with another car..
He was definitely in the Tesla. Did you see the end of the video?
]
Wasnt another car…it was a wall. Next video will show it all. Viewers be advised its pretty graphic.
@@ChillinwithChet ok damn mate glad you're ok Chet..
@@ChillinwithChet pretty sure I can speak for everyone here.. We are all very happy that you are safe man. Get some rest and recovery time in. Hopefully any injuries heal fast. Can't wait to see what happened
@@ChillinwithChet Sooo, after you drove it thru water you thougt what is the next best thing? and you decided "Can you drive a Tesla thru a wall?" 😝
hope you're doing good and/or recover well 👌🏻
Just glad you are alive. Hope you recover well dude, heavy hit there. Best regards from Spain
I cant even find a Plaid in stock...Well not for asking price atleast.
Get well uncle chet long time subscriber. From new Zealand love your content and vibe you have around all your mates . And the shenanigans you get up too
this video is funny listening to the brake situation, you then do the brakes your self half ass it then crash and have zero safety features
Wow glad you walked away from that crash, Hopefully you recover soon, I miss Chilling with Chet!
If you turn those rotors and remove the spots the instant brake fade will go away.. the spots are pad transfers and as you are driving the spots make contact with the pads and heats everything up.. the pads were not designed for the heat that was generated.. need to change to a higher temp pad material.. I had this same problem when I put EBC green pads on a car.. cleaned the rotors and changed to EBC yellow pads and the problem was resolved. The factory brakes with upgraded pads would probably be a huge improvement over the stock from the factory parts.. once you see hot spots on your rotors just scrub them off or it will only get worse
Chet you rock! Wishing you all the best and get well soon! Love the channel and content! I'm here for the algorithm! Peace
Yewww Chet’s back let’s goooo
Take your time and heal up... we're not going anywhere! Hope you you at least feel better soon!
Most likely brake fluid was also "water damaged". It is hydrophilic.
Heat+hydro+ old standard liquid+ maybe air, and its the crash💥💥
Your Viper ACR is amazing. My dream car! Hope you get well fast!
10:43 did you forget to torque the calipers down and thread lock
Just glad your alive and hope you make a speedy recovery
I just died laughing at the scream at the end 🤭
I’m glad you’re alive but cliff hangers absolutely suck!
And the toque wrench has that handle so the torque applied is at the correct distance from the head of the wrench. You're supposed to keep the handle centered and not rocked in either direction, floating while using it
You can change the Battery Pack for a New One & it will Never Go like it did when it was New! Just like your Lap Top, they are never like a New One!
I rewatched the install and didn't see anything out of the norm. Did you forget to bleed them? Forget thread locker?
I'm guessing they bled the brakes without running the bleed procedure and there was air in the lines? Most modern cars with ABS have to go through that process. You can't just bleed them in the traditional way.
160 and a crash hope your ok and recovery goes smooth
About torque wrenching.
First you tighten the nut until you hear and feel a click in our elbow, then tighten a little bit more until the same happens in your shoulder. Then all good 😁
I just changed the upper control arm on my first car the 2003 Ford ranger V6 3.0l RWD no more clunking noise
I hope you have a speedy recovery!!! Thanks for sharing. Shit happens. Love your style bud
On the rear The steel rotors are you supposed to put like cleaner on them first?
Just a suggestion, maybe the difference came from less weight = less traction on that surface. Try a clean street that may have actually made a difference maybe
Except the gutted one u crashed cause u said the brakes failed but not like the computer quit working the brakes
Hell yeah brother! Likes seeing your Tesla videos.
Holy cow man glad you came out of this! Wish you a speedy recovery sounds like a bad deal.
The pizza box work tray is genius
He looks like the kind of guy that uses one of those belt receiver clips to keep the chime quiet since he's not wearing it.
I feel like moving to Arizona. Pretty nice place! And Chet being a good lad! I would have up-sold a racing harness to you, sort of keeps you in the seat!
Whan I grow up I wanna be just like unc chet. Ur my spirit aminal (prayers for a speedy full recovery)
Glad your ok man! Speedy recovery!!!
Garrett mentioned something in his video. Glad your still with us. Hope you get feeling better soon. 👍
What about brake lines reinforcement and brake fluid specs for severe working conditions?
I had no idea that u were in Chandler. U ever go to the pavilions?
Damn Chet glad u are ok! Hope you’re not injured bad and heal quickly.
The world needs Chet, get well soon dude
Yo I heard you got in an accident I wish you a speedy recovery
Watch the fucing vid holy
@@1hunglow582 I did lol what about it? I was wishing him a speedy recovery can I not do that?
Omg just watch it
Let’s go on a test at 170mph after doing this 🤦🏻♂
I'm one of those not shady mechanics lol, I don't wanna do more work than what I need to 😂
Well.. atleast you don't have to replace the battery or computer anymore. Lol
Hope your doing well Chet and wish you a speedy recovery. Saw on Cleetus channel that you gave him your rooms on raceweek.
You should talk to the engineers at ev west and consider a standalone solution!
The real ones are here for it brotha.
Hey brother I hope you recover quickly praying that everything will be okay 👍
Uncle Chet hope you're ok. Well say a prayer for you. I hope your not hurt to bad. I heard about your accident it scared me . Hope you get over your Injury fast so you can get back to your part of you life racing.
Come on people give uncle chet a subscribe. Dude deserves way more then 60k.
Love your content brother. Your funny AF.
By the way hope your feeling better from that crash man.
Is it possible to have the same performance while taking half the battery out dropping the weight by a lot and keeping the same performance
Hope you’re okay and have a speedy recovery
Glad your ok. Might be time for a full roll cage. 🤔
I was thinking maybe a new Tesla.
Took the hatch off. Might as well lose the doors and hood! Lol
Tesla jeep mod
Chet, keep going with the gutting boss. Cut everything that isnt structural. Regarding the torque wrench.. The handle wobbles so you dont add preload by forcing the handle. That's an Inch pound torque wrench :D It relies on the rods bending. When i was young my dad brought me one of those.. i used it as a breaker bar and you can guess how well that worked out :D
Damn Chet glad you survived I need to see more videos!
Thank God you're ok
Great content thanks for sharing
Ummm....yeah. Didn't see that coming. Completely shocked.
Ikea carts got rear-wheel stearing
Here in Sweden to😐 got the same relation to them 😂
Geez man put a helmet on that Brain Bucket. Glad you’re okay. Well good luck getting it back into drag mode now lol.
Did you not torque and loctite those caliper brackets/adapters. Kind of looks like you used that gold 3/8 drive icon to snug those up. Hope you get well soon. 👍
Glad you're ok 💪
Starting to think George installed the master….
Reconsidering my living vicariously through you…
All kidding aside hope all involved are ok. Walls don’t give to easily. Rest up.
Thanks for the content Cheyanne
Glad your ok bud. Hope you have a speedy recovery.
Glad you’re alive to tell the tale. Quick recovery Unc🙌🏼
everytime I've had tie rod or ball joint snap on me (more than once unfortunately) it was at 15 mph or lower. it's my theory that they take more tension and other forces at low speed.
Unless you have agressive air ride or hydraulics.. balljoints take a hella beating from that
what if you tried adding some weight back and see if it's just you can't put down the power it sound like your spinning more than the stock car.
You should try Pirelli P Zero tyres, same as some Porche uses. Might be better on the track.
Good thing the video cut off, he could've gotten hurt from the accident.
Damn I have the same old school torque wrench.
Hope you got a sexy nurse in hospital and get well soon bud! Glad you’re ok!
Well...there are carbon-carbon breaks too. So, essentially carbon fiber breaks.
But those are indeed carbon ceramic rotors.
And oh yeah...I'm from Sweden. 4-wheel steering is the best. 😜
Great video! 👍
Dang hope you didn't get hurt bad and recover quickly. Was there air in the brake lines?
you sir are a mad man!!!!!❤❤❤❤
