Nobody Was Expecting The Cybertruck To Do This... 

What do you mean? lol.. Litearlly everyone in the comments expected this to happen. You can't put 16" wheel spacers on a stock spindle and expect it to survive.

How cool is that - load up the helicopter and head to the job site - that is fabulous

Let’s not kid ourselves everyone was expecting it to break 😂

Considering just how much wider the tracks make it and how far away they need to be from the bearing and spindle mount it isnt surprising it broke.

That's an awesome day! Im jealous! Flying a helicopter, mountin' up with tools to get a brothers truck off the mountain, and fixing something no else has done before...EPIC! You got this. Keep your chin up!

You HAVE a Cybertruck with a ton of electrical outlet power. Add a 3in1 laser cutter/welder/cleaner and you have a modile repair shop!!!

Glad everyone got out of there safe including the Cybertruck

Man those tracks put such wierd loads on the suspension.. Completely different than what it was designed to do... I'm impressed with any independent suspension vehicle that can hold up to them..

Everything is 10x harder working in the cold wet snow. Keep being the great examples brothers.

You guys are awesome! If I hadn't had some injuries, stupid moments and bad relationships I'd be having as much fun as you. Thank you for your ingenuity and out of the box thinking! Always enjoyable to see.

love that Dave can laugh at himself it's a quality a lot of people lack today

Something under tension can be unpredictable - be it a tow-strap or spring.. Glad everyone is OK.

that was me a month ago! stuck tracked suburban, then broke tracked sxs. although my walk out was NOT to a fancy helicopter, then to a shop with tons of resources! HAHA. fun video to watch! you guys are awesome!

Definitely a lot of force being put on those spindles, but I'm sure Sparks Motors will have no problem finding a billet solution!

You guys are so epic love how you guys love to help anyone out and take time out of your busy day to help a stranger 👍🏻👍🏻

Those big tracks put a massive moment on those suspension components.

Hey I'm not over the moon about a cyber truck but you have to admit this one is pretty badass

Awesome machine. Nice to have the tools to fix it. Cool video.

I'm blown away by what you guys are doing here, this is a legendary series. I couldn't put my finger on what the Cybertruck was truly meant to be, until I came across this. Bravo sirs.

@5:12 drilling metal with no safety glasses, that’s just brilliant

Guess I'm a Nobody since that was what I was expecting. That was a lot of leverage to be expecting the stock knuckle, arms and frame to hold up to without some substantial reinforcement. Best!

I said it last episode and I'm saying it this one, you guys should fab and sell reinforcement / upgrade kits for others on these

Seen that Cyber truck and the brodozer last week when I was out there last week. Always awesome to see the crew out and about when I'm helping work out by going over there.

I came by your shop the other day and took a look around, saw the cybertruck and it’s a lot bigger than I was expecting. A lot of cool stuff around the shop, even saw Alan walk into the shop through the windows!

nice safety glasses with shards flyin! metal rusted in eye patient here.

Jeep gladiator weighs 4,000ish pounds, cybertruck tips scales close to 7,000 pounds. Mods will need twice the amount of structural support required in previous tracked vehicles you've built.

You guys are amazing, designing on the "fly" no pun intended, serious skills dudes, love watching how you problem solve.

They should take a look at where the spindle broke to see if there are any voids (it would look foamy, with gas bubbles in the metal). Tesla has had issues in the past with cast aluminum parts where suspension parts broke because of poor casting techniques. I think they ironed all that out, and that probably isn't the issue here, but it would be useful to check.

Be very careful getting your fenestrom tail rotor that low to the snow! Ive seen them vacum up a snof drift and relocate it down flow and destroy the blades leading edges in the process.!

*Video title: "Nobody was expecting the Cybertruck to do this.."* *20 seconds into video: "Yup. Saw that one coming."*

Fun to see how they never gives up! A one of a kind Cybertruck made by a one of a kind crew! Keep the videos coming!!

Great clip so glad they found Allen he is always fun to watch and his thoughts he did say much on this one but never complains about anything and always willing bro help great team

The tracks match the body lines of the cyber truck so good ❤

Honestly never seen a cybertruck look better.

“You aight?!” Yea…….that look and that yea’s tone…….he was not alright! He was squalling on the inside 😂😂😂😂

lOVE YOu GUYS, we all have been there... broken track on cybertruck in the middle of nowhere... keep it up !!! greetings from Poland

Alan is a real one

I love how every video is 98% mechanics and 2% actual driving scene but in straight road that every car in existence can already drive on.

It really is wonderful to watch.People who have unlimited resources go out and have amazing fun and don't worry about any kind of cost. I live vicariously through them.

So glad you got her home! Love following this series

As difficult as such a mod sounds, i feel it would be a bit more robust if the tracks were moved under the body a little bit. Would probably improve handling too.

It’s just crazy to me that they didn’t look at the control arm and the 5foot wide tracks there gonna throw on and go hmm that does seem a little skinny.

This is a beauty in the snow, beautiful truck with caterpillar wheels, I love it, heavidispar and heavidavid, a good all-terrain truck, I love it, built by esparks motors, beautiful workshop, I love it 😆

Your videos make it feel like anything is possible. Your shop is amazing.

That piece is designed to break to let the wheel separate in a partial headon, not take 3 feet of offset.

No wonder it broke like that. If looking how far that track is, it puts huge bending torque on that part of the arm when normal tire practically nothing more than straight up. Still can't stop thinking if this structure is too weak. You can get similar force when sliding sideways and have the tire hitting some ridge.

@2:30 reminds me of my dad going through the shed trying to find that specific piece of steel amongst 100s of pieces 😂

I like the onx trail location share. I recently moved to SLC and this helps me find cool places to ride and explore.

Expected with 12 inch wheel spacers.

My right ankle is repaired exactly like you fixed the spindle.

You guys do a magnificent job,how do you deal with the cold, etc,thats unreal to see from sitting here in ,Melbourne Australia, you really are such a fantastic crew ,dedicated mechanical experts, fantastic team cheers be safe guys

Always great videos Dave. Hoping to see some more helicopter videos in the near future too! 👍👍👍

The more cyber truck videos I see on the internet I'm beginning to thing that the weakness is the whole truck

parking the helicopter under the high tension lines is kind of crazy no?

😂😂😂😂😂😂😭😭 Blud spoke to soon…. He even wanted to take a picture of it😭 5 mins later it broke

The Cybertruck looks INSANE in this set-up.

Such a cool looking machine. Love the paint job.

Holy crap guys, take 2 seconds and put on safety glasses.

Same thing happened to that spindel that happened to the bolt. Looks like some sort of hardened alloy the way it sheared, and not the thickest for an already heavy truck. Those tracks really put a lot more leverage on the suspension, compared to the stock tires which are pretty much straight underneath instead of way out to the side of the vehicle. Basic physics in action, like Archimedes was calculating over 2000 years ago, the longer the lever, it either takes less effort in to get the same force out or the same effort to get a much greater force....

Good to see egg on D's face at the off road games, was so funny to see. It made my day.😅😅😅

Putting that much more leverage on the factory parts pretty much did what i was expecting. Parts broke. How predictable.

The landing of that helicopter in the powder on its belly is so fucking gangster. Dude can fly fuuuu

Always fun to see what you guys do with your videos and love the content

Bro onyx company is GENIUS at marketing!! For adding the ability to share your location!!!

The first minute of this video he says I saw that one coming... Adding an extra 2.5ft of leverage with all the weight on it would break any hub

Allen is the Swiss Army guy.

Awesome video... good music! Good times! Great 👍

Fulley expected failure. I see you employed the nothing ever tears along the perforations theory of repair and maintenance often used in aviation . I first became aware of that theory when a aerospace engineer who spent his life working at the skunkworks told me that if I have a stress crack occurring in my main Spa just stop drill it and then drill several more holes and it will never break because nothing ever tears along the perforations then he demonstrated with the role of paper towels that I had right next to me and sure enough it did not tear along the perforations! Ps when you said get a spindle for it I laughed out loud . Lollollollol

HELL you should have took a welder up there! The Truck has 240v 50a!!!! NOW that is a TRAIL FIX!!!!

Grinding and drilling metal with no safety glasses. Really? Hard to fly a helicopter with a piece of steel in your eye. Cool truck

Y'all stay safe and ready with this storm sending some love👊😁🇺🇸🙏😎

13.05 mins You probably already know the reason: the chassis is simply overloaded due to its design. The enormous width - as you can clearly see when loading - is simply too much, because the tires are normally much closer to the center of gravity than they are now. In my opinion a crossbar connecting both sides front and back would be a solution. This would absorb the lateral forces much better. Since the snow covers the larger bumps anyway, off-road mobility should not be restricted too much. All the best and thanks for the video. How much such a conversion would cost would be interesting. This construction is also interesting, where the actual supporting structure is fixed with simple steel strips instead of building a steel structure underneath - but you probably can't get one off the shelf anymore today because aluminum looks so nice and strong and doesn't rust... - just a dishonest metal compared to steel

Great job great crew give a hand to Sparks Motors and there team thank you and for the great video as always David

Overkill, gaff tape and zip ties fixes everything

Actually, after a recent Munro video of the Cybertruck under-body and suspension, apparently the design of the suspension is greatly influenced by safety factors in case of a side collision to sort of "fold" the wheel in ways to protect the occupants and absorb the impact. Many videos show the Cybertruck off-roading over rocks and steep slopes quite adequately with regular wheels. But many factors go into a design; collision safety is one of the most important. Snow-tracks put very unusual forces on the standard suspension. Lots of other cars and trucks modified for this application have encountered similar failure modes, as mentioned in the video.

Honestly having a helicopter is so killer man. What a life dude

Send the Cybertruck to Whistlindiesel for some testing. It will eventually be used as scrap, to build some new stainless home appliances.

All it takes is money . ..but it’s fun to see these issues cleared up quickly and competently . The rest of us have to do these things more slowly, after choosing your poison and going for it.

Looks great guys

Thanks for a detailed video, it was awesome!

I'm pretty sure everyone was expecting this to happen (cybertruck breaking)

Channel hasn’t been the same since Hunter left…..

Man I’d give anything to experience stuff like this it’s amazing I love the snow living in Michigan i can’t even enjoy the now anymore miss the days of trucks breaking down and keeping are sleds running awesome content guy’s living my dream lol

I love the cyber truck. You guys build some amazing stuff

Dave did such a good job with the ad take

Curious of the range with those tracks and obviously being freezing cold outside.

That Dolphin was close to the powerlines!

So much to unpack in this week’s video. First and foremost Dennis. Mountain top crazy man, as said in the introduction video to the go to guy in remote repairs. Diesel Dave- ie Wreck it Ralph. It will hold; should hold, hope it holds. 🤣. Wreck it Ralph leaves. And the Cyber truck makes it back to the trailer. 👍🏻. Not bashing. Laughing with. Always enjoy the Videos.

I love how he said “we brought basically everything you can think of” and then say “did we bring the torch?

13:12 loved doing that behind a car in the streets of Duluth MN after an ice storm. nothing like car skiing 🎿

Sickest mod ever❤ can't wait . I can't wait for the next episodes

With the width of those trax it seems like they should allow for flex at the attachment point. They work on the beefed up solid axle, Jeep, though. I imagine at a certain point all the vehicle side attachments can be made to withstand the tq and lift the track up on edge. But letting the track articulate like an ankle joint would probably work better

Dave killed another vehicle loll

Bro, I hear you. I hate when my Cybertruck breaks down and I have to walk to my helicopter. Lol

Glad you made it home!

That chopper landing pretty close to those overhead lines.

That cyber truck is insane. Hope you guys are able to find a way to strengthen that suspension before you head out to the sand!

Heavy D Sparks is epic. He makes his own content even when things don’t go to plan.

Loving this series.

That thing is like an occ chopper. All show and goes while leaving bits behind lol
