- This thing is built like a tank.
Are you kidding me Hot Wheels?
(dramatic music)
Welcome back to What's Inside, I'm Dan,
this is Lincoln, and we've got our friend Gage,
he is a pro at all things racing.
Thanks to our sponsor Hot Wheels for partnering
with us on this video.
Today we have this Ballistik Racer that Hot Wheels makes.
This thing has a two-sided flipping body.
You can run into a wall, it will flip,
and do crazy stunts.
- Where are the motors placed?
The tires are huge, so I'm thinking that the motors
are in each tire.
- We are going to go play with it and have some fun,
then we're going to cut it open.
- And we're gonna see what's inside!
- Hey, you're already a pro! - Hey!
- Listen to that!
- Rain just hit my finger.
Here we go. Wow!
- [Gage] Whoa!
- [Lincoln] This is fast!
- [Dan] Hey it goes good on the grass.
- Whoa! - Whoa!
- [Gage] That is awesome!
(suspenseful action music)
- That is so cool.
- This is a really cool all-terrain vehicle
that you can off-road, so we're putting it
to the test on these red rocks in southern Utah.
Mountain, blue sky, red rocks,
please don't fall off the cliffs, get over there people.
(suspenseful action music) (kids cheering)
So we are off-roading right now.
It's actually really fun off-road.
It works very well, it has the big tires.
There's a button on the back, the red button.
When you push it, you basically go ballistic.
When you do that it enables different modes
of things you can do, like a 180-turn.
- So whenever I go ballistic, the back stops.
- [Dan] If you're going straight and you want to
turn around and go the other way quick,
you can turn it.
- Woo hoo!
- [Dan] Alright go ahead Lincoln and turn it!
Look at that, look at the front how it turns like that.
That's super interesting, like, how does it work?
How do the wires not get tangled up when it's spinning?
It's like a drill.
See this blue cloth right here?
- This is a special blue cloth.
- [Dan] What's the deal with that blue cloth, Lincoln?
- So we have a helicopter.
- [Dan] Right there.
(heavenly music)
- [Dan] Helicopter.
- Yes, and we have this Ballistik Racer.
And we are going to go put it in the helicopter,
and then we're going to drop it out of the helicopter,
and hope to hit it on this blue cloth
or somewhere near it so then we can get a really
cool shot of hopefully it breaking.
- I mean we could probably use a screwdriver
and get into it, but what we are going to do is
we are going to throw it out of a helicopter
and see if the thing can explode 'cause
it's built like a tank.
And we don't recommend that you try this.
This will be a good experiment.
This is our buddy York.
We've done some other projects together.
- We've done some good projects together,
watermelon, black box.
- York has actually camped up here before.
Like they just come here and they just camp.
Just land and camp.
- Yeah you're not gonna get here
unless you're an expert climber.
- This is really only accessible by a helicopter.
Look at this beautiful mountain right here.
I am not joking,
right on the edge of this cliff right here
is an actual cliff that goes thousands of feet down.
See you in a few minutes.
This is happening.
(uplifting synth music)
Okay we are heading up.
We're really high right now.
- [Lincoln] Super high!
- Hopefully you can hear me right now.
We are above the cliff.
We have a short landing spot.
Check it out!
(suspenseful electro music)
Oh my gosh, did you guys see that?
I don't even think it broke.
I don't think it broke at all.
Wow, it didn't even do anything.
At all.
Just so you know, we brought two of these.
Check it out, we got another one.
We are going to go much higher 'cause that didn't do much.
Good to go.
Alright, take two, here we go.
(deep electronic music)
Let's go see how the racer did!
So we actually threw two,
I don't know if you saw that on the film.
The first one was from around 300 feet,
and it didn't look like it did much from up there.
The second one was from about 700 feet.
- Oh whoa. - Whoa!
- It's just connected by some wires.
- Aw yeah!
- What?
- Look at this guy!
Alright we got into the wheel, look at this thing.
That is from a 700-foot drop onto sandstone.
- Wow.
- It hit this mound and it just tumbled around.
The whole body didn't break one bit.
Not even a scratch on it, from 700 feet onto rock.
This thing is seriously built like a tank.
- One scratch.
- Oh, there is a scratch.
I totally lied, there is one scratch.
Thanks for pointing that out, Lincoln.
The first one, let's check that one out.
Oh, this is the one that we did from 300 feet.
The body is a little bit damaged.
Same one, the red one.
This must be the heavier end
because the motor is inside of it,
that it falls down and it hits like that.
So, that's pretty good.
It's not good enough.
I think we need to give another go at this.
- Yeah we do.
- [Radio] Testing now.
(jazzy upbeat trumpet music)
- Oh my gosh.
I don't think I got the shot, but holy cow!
It came down like a torpedo!
Alright we didn't have good audio up above,
so let me just tell you what I saw from above first.
We dropped the first one that already
had the wheel that was broken
and it almost fell off a cliff.
There was this sheer cliff wall, it hit
and I saw the wheel go, and when it hit,
it looked like just an explosion of like
10 different pieces going all different ways.
(clapping) - Let's go find this.
- Let's do some hunting! Ballistik Racer hunting!
♪ Bum bum bum bum bum bum ♪
- We're on the edge of a cliff.
- I believe I can fly!
- This looks like number one.
This one's number one and what!
We're still not into the body on this one really.
Oh, kind of. - Wait a second!
This is for the second one!
- The wheel is just broken off.
Really the second one is the one
that completely got demolished, so we need to find that.
Whoa!
- Oh! - Found it!
It's way out there!
Alright, Lincoln, come on down.
- Oh! Yes!
- [Dan] There it is!
- The whole, like, motor is right here
and it's demolished.
- [Dan] Both of the wheels actually
came off, look at that. - De-molished.
How is the body still intact?
- This body is still intact.
Are you kidding me, Hot Wheels?
Alright we're gonna collect all of these pieces,
take them back to our office and see what we have left,
and we might need to take off a few of these screws
surprisingly, just to see the inside of the motor.
This is becoming quite the task.
Good job, Hot Wheels at building the Ballistik Racer.
- Definitely.
- It is definitely built like a tank.
(laughing)
Back at the office with the graveyard of Ballistik Racers,
and surprisingly these things are super tough.
They're like tanks.
- I mean we dropped it from multiple times
from a helicopter. - Multiple times.
- Multiple times.
- The red one's took a beating,
now this is where the motors are.
Both of the bodies stayed intact.
Now I pulled this off with my bare hands
and you can see the inside of this right here.
This side right here has the chip board, it has the motor.
And you can see those gears and how they work.
But yeah, really really well built.
And we still have a brand new Ballistik Racer
that Hot Wheels sent us, so we can ditch
all this broken stuff.
- Eh!
- This video was paid for by Hot Wheels
who helped us create it.
So here are some of the remains.
- I had so much fun doing this,
so thank you Hot Wheels for sponsoring this video.
- Don't forget the next thing you have to do right now
is click on the video that we're linking here.
We filmed a video with Hot Wheels
of Lincoln taking cars to space.
To space.
(crashing)
- To space!
(dramatic electronic music)
- Don't try that at home.
- Ballist?
I've never even heard the word ballistic
before, well.
No, not really like in a sentence.
