If you ever wanted to witness a group of heavily modified Power Wheels vehicles taking on rally races and rock crawling challenges, only to end up completely broken in the process, then this is the kind of content you’ve been waiting for.
True confession time, folks: I never had a Power Wheels as a kid. I could definitely appreciate how fun they were, but that wasn’t my experience growing up. And while I don’t know if the team at Grind Hard Plumbing Co. had their own Power Wheels as children, what I can confirm is that they now have them—albeit as adults with adult interests, tools, and money.
This means they’re able to take their Power Wheels in directions that their original creators probably never imagined. While you may have already seen what happens when someone installs an e-bike motor inside a Lamborghini Power Wheels, what you might not have expected is watching a full-on Power Wheels rally event take place. Or perhaps seeing a high-performance Barbie Van, which looks a lot like Lowly Worm’s Apple Car from the Richard Scarry children’s books, tackle rock crawling. To everyone’s surprise, it actually does quite well at the task.
For Kids Of All Ages
One of the most interesting aspects of these modified Power Wheels is that they’re not just for kids anymore. For a couple of hundred bucks, you can give your child something that resembles a real Ducati—sort of. There are also unique creations like the Honda Cub House Ultra-Limited Hot Wheels-Branded Monkey, which blends classic car culture with toy design in a way that’s both nostalgic and innovative.
Of course, many of these homemade vehicles end up breaking within minutes of being tested. This leads the Grind Hard Plumbing Co. team to bring out their F1-wheel-fitted Can-Am Maverick side-by-side to help manage the chaos. Naturally, this vehicle also ends up getting a little damaged during the process.
Honestly, it’s all a bit of a mess, but it’s the kind of fun chaos that comes from doing silly things with your friends. What makes it even better is that you’re the one who built it, the one who broke it, and the one who will (probably) fix it. If not, at least you know you can dismantle it and use the parts to build something entirely new. It’s the cycle of life, and as some wise lion or two once said, it moves us all.
Is there a reason I now want to see an official Busy Town Rally event? No, of course not, why do you ask?
