The fact that a lot of people including myself are saying "I'm not into this, but love your vids" or "I've found you recently but I love your vids" are clear early signs you're about to blow up on RUclips, it shows that people that dont have interests surrounding motor space are getting your vids on their recommended, but they stay for the wholesomeness of your age and your sweet smile while your beard flaps in the wind doing exactly what you love, plus the karts you design and produce yourself really stand out with their steam punkish design style, these are things people love and want to see outside of a badass kart flying down the desert. Robert, keep posting your most exciting content and I promise you'll hit a million subscribers by the end of the year. and that kind of channel traffic would easily provide enough money to not only go full time but let your dreams fly into some crazy builds.
A million? How about 15 - millions that is. And still counting. I just happened on a Facebook reel that a friend sent me this morning and had to find out more!
My job sucks. I punch out sheetmetal all day. I'm not complaining. It warms my heart to see people follow their bliss. The passion is unrivaled. Keep up the good work. Glad I found this channel.

I am a pipefitter. You have done a lovely job pipe bending. That is a lost art in pipefitting today.Most young pipefitters do not know how to bend pipe and tube by heat or machine to precise measurements. To heat bend pipe .It is 6 X the diameter of the pipe. Mark the centre of your bend .Center to End of pipe measurement , 2/3 of the bend behind the measurement . 1/3 in front of measurement. Heat the pipe to amber red. and bend. Enjoy your videos. Thankyou.
This is just unbelievable. This is why America is the greatest country on the planet: because of people like this guy. I came for the awesome beard, and stayed for the mind blowing videos.
Robert I'm 74 years old and used to watch the altered coupes every Sunday less the 1/2 mile from my house. Love what you do, enjoy life it's way to short.
@@setra23 idk man I have yet to burn off my eyebrows with much worse. Man. Looking back I really shouldn’t have agreed to a lot of bets. Don’t agree to anything that might decapitate you. Not more that 6 times a week. Because then your chances go up.
@@THESLlCK You're not nearly as funny as you think you are. Quit hijacking comments to make lame jokes. Look at anyone messing with jet engines.... Maybe 1% have a beard
There is nothing more inspiring than someone who lives their life like you do!!!! You are super smart and calculated crazy... Never change Rocket Man!!!! The world needs you...
The best part of your channel honestly is your passion for these projects and the fact that you got the biggest damn smile on your face when you’re cooking across the desert in these things I love it keep doing what you’re doing man!
I'm amazed at your engineering genius, explaining in layman's terms what used to be somewhat of the joke, "It's not rocket science" is in itself what actually is rocket science explained. I love your video's!
You're a superb engineer and I'm sure I'll learn from you. I especially like the sheer unalloyed joy when you're riding around. Thank you and keep it up!
Posting for engagement so RUclips can continue to spread your awesome carts and smile, good sir. Respect from NC and this small town artist who knows nothing bout engines! Cheers!
I love that you are gaining a following Robert. You deserve it. I love watching because all I see is an expert, having a blast doing what he loves most. Doesn't get much better than that. I hope you all the best!
THANKS ROBERT !!! And thank you for giving us a guided tour of your shop and the way you do things. That means a lot to an old fart like me! I think you need to mount several cameras, pointing at you, one pointing behind & also getting your rocket fire, another on top of your roll-cage, looking down on the whole unit. That way, you don't need to manipulate the cameras at all & know that you will have 4 or 5 different feeds to edit in...to where you can make every ride a real SPECTICLE !!!
Robert Maddox. I'm looking at something wild and crazy. But you tell me "you don't wanna be on something uncontrollable" and my brain explodes. I've gotta go back and rewatch all your videos. Truly mind blowing engineering to me.
Good to see someone with passion. Today's youth don't care about anything except video games and the internet. I wish this man would shield himself more from the hot metal. If and when he has an accident and that glowing metal folds up on top of him he will go from the Rocket man to the "Sizzler" really quick.
This channel is the coolest crazy-grin-inducing thing on YT. Just wanna ride that thing off into the desert and roar like a wild man right along with it! What a fun channel!
man i love your beard ,, you reminding my grandpha ,, even crazy my grandpha is also a mechanic , he was solving big problems in old London cotton machines back in 1950's ,, i love my grandpha and now i love you too..
This man has balls of steel. I do an all out mile race for top speed In my Corvette race cars and I’m strapped in with harnesses, helmet, fire suit, roll cage, air bags, etc. and I would never ride this thing.
YesSiRr! It's ROB the KRAZY ROCKET RYDER MAN!! LOL! LOVE YOUR WORK MATE!! It's SO Kool we gotta WATCH it TWICE!! Lol!! Thankz again for sharing Mate... your a Bloody Legend!
With all that's going on in the World right now, your videos and enthusiasm and the fun behind your creations are just what we need!👏 Can't wait for the maiden flight !! 😨😂
Hey Rob, I love the design of this cart. subscribing for more pulsejet based insanity! I have a suggestion to help cooling when the cart isn't moving, by extending the end of the heat guard at the back a couple inches past the end of the engine tube and flaring this extension slightly, the exhaust of the engine may be able to pull a pretty significant draft through the gap. It may require the bottom of the heat shroud be closed off on the back end of the engine to properly direct airflow though. the idea is the exhaust gasses would drag air along from between the layers a bit like those venturis you see on some diesel exhausts, helping move the heat out from under the shroud. The Lewis gun used this concept to help air cool it's barrel back in the early 1900's, using the gas that escapes after the bullet left the barrel. Not sure if it would be enough to protect against shroud overheating while stationary entirely, but it may help extend the runtime before that happens a bit.
Greetings from NZ. Love this guy's enthusiasm. Such headlong barminess lifts the bleakest spirits. BTW.. Doesn't that magnificent beard cause a lot of drag? 😊
I just found this channel. How have I only just heard about you. I love watching people build crazy stuff like Colin furze and I’m happy to add this channel to my watchlist. Keep it up!
Congrats on 15 million views, thats amazing!! This is a super cool kart build, I cant wait to see it dialed in as well as a longer running video. Keep up the great job
I really hope you can do this full time, its a channel i only have come to recently but loving it all ready. It have a " worlds fastest Indian " vib to it. Taking a passion and running with it no matter what. Will be following along and look forward to seeing the Dragon roar.
I absolutely love the project aswell as you, inspiring me and hopefully also others to maybe also do something fun like that! So interesting to see and so contagious.
I LOVE IT!!! PURE GENIUS! I think the " Metal" look is the way to go. Just " bluing" and japaning. Love Love Love METAL. It is the most Beautiful material in the world...
Hopefully this will inspire the youngsters. Engineering can be so rewarding when you build the stuff you design and you get to see it work... it hardly ever works on the first try though!! Trial and error.
Just found your videos, you and your machines remind me of Dr. Seus and Chitty chitty bang bang, had to subscribe, thank you for making me feel happiness 😊
I have no real interest in jet or pulse engines. But I watch this channel. Seeing this guy live his best life is so worth watching. Have a blast Robert!
On the other side of the spectrum is me. I don't care about Robert at all. I just wanna go FAST!!!!!
Joke. You're a cool guy👍

Plays with homebuilt fire breathing pulse jet engines. Manages to cultivate that magnificent beard...
This is a man not to be underestimated.

I could have sworn he already uploaded this, but I’m happy to have any chance to see that beautiful thing
I thought i time traveled again..
We seen it to. We are all in, the twilight zone.....
Lol
and the previoun video was reuploaded. I hope it was just a mistake.
I thought the same, but then I figured he must've gotten it up to 88mph and got stuck in a time loop. 😁
(his last video was also a re-up)

Thats the realest definition of a hot seat I have ever seen, sweet build!!!
These strike me as the natural evolution of kid's toys from decades ago. Beautiful! 😍
Just a guy living his best life, love your stuff man
I’ve only just arrived, but this guy needs a patron ASAP. None of this being frugal stuff! I wanna see what’s built being able to full send 🤘
You're a superb engineer and I'm sure I'll learn from you.

THE best thing on RUclips, hands down. Bob, you make me smile and laugh out loud everytime!
Can you imagine being his neighbor...how much fun that would be!
And everything is right with the world, when i watch your content. You sir are amazing.

Love the enginuity and effort put into getting away from old fashioned pistons!

Love the fuel alterds of the 60s u didn't know if they were gonna go straight or into the wall the winged express always put on a good show
Liked, commented, subscribed.
Following because of the fab skills and charisma! I'm sure your 16yr old self would be proud
I loveeee this channel omg. This man is adorable and living his best life!!!
Hats 🎩 Off ❤️
Love ❤️ From Pakistan 🇵🇰
Honestly i dont even know what this "engine" is. However, watching this dude experience pure joy brings happiness to my heart ❤
*continues to watch and the lad explains it* 😅
Man so wild love the break down of the build too hope you can keep the momentum going on your channel 👍
Best thing since sliced bread.thumbs up!

absolutely a craftsmanship work of art, looks great man and sounds wild
Can't wait to see this "Sack sizzler 2000" out for a run! Awesome!
Jeremy you hit the nail...amazing human!!!!!!!!
With that jet exhaust right below the seat, this is madder than the mad max machines...
I’ve loved seeing your mad creations ever since myth busters xD this new engine is mental!
Just finished the whole video to see that smile again ^^
It's like riding a bomb on wheels! Hats off to you, buddy!
Pretty awesome! Love your workshop!
