This was one of my favorite projects EVER. If you end up trying it, I wanna hear how it goes!!
I'm in my 50s. I would play with this all day!
I'm with you 😂 I've been out there on it every evening since I finished it!
You need a life then.
@@zach4425 you watched the video and then came to the comments to be negative, seems like maybe you're the one who needs to get a life
@@lawrencedimmick4852 👹he's troll, Larry .... nothing more, nothing less.
zach has no self-respect & no friends.😭
Love this and we love DannyGo!!
This is incredible. I need more content like this!
Appreciate it, Jon!
AWESOME for kids and kids at heart. Nothing like racing Grandkids and knowing you might just win!
Absolutely!!
Wow...how ingenious and how obvious. Ive been following 3d Botmaker and their diecast racing for a few years....but never figured out how i might develop a track. I can customize the cars and now you've given me the inspiration to develop my own racetrack lay out. Many thanks...Mike
Oh man!! This is exactly what I was looking for!! My gransdson will LOVE this! Thanks!
This is awesome! What a cool dad.
Thank you, "Danny Go", this will be awesome for my toddler's Matchbox and Hot Wheels vehicles.
I honestly Can't wait to do something similar for my daughter this week. Thanks for this video!
that woke up feelings of nostalgia. Subscribed.
I am a lady at 35 and even I would LOVE this! :D
Right on time for summer vacation!
OH MY GOSH! We have to do this for our grandkids!!!
Fantastic idea
I was confused as to why Maddie subscribed to this channel but now I understand.
Exciting! The 3rd one specially
Danny Go!!❤
Go Danny Go!
My boys would love this!!!
so would mine, & they're 26 & 27 yrs old!
FUN!!!
GOOD job, creative and fun!
I’m going to use this for my homework
This is the best one so far, the creator has taken much/most/just enough of the tedium of figuring out; the yellow tape speed bumps, exact angles for jumps, width of the jump- through-dirty-water-bucket measurement etc etc...
And to think I clicked on it by accident! You definitely need more fun content like this on your channel!
BTW I can see adults racing marbles and or golf balls, while drinking, at the barbecue, of course after letting the kids play with their toy cars. LOL
Perfect parent and child family build project for young kids all the way to preteen, imho.
I've recently turned 50 and only just got into hot 🔥 wheels... This post is exactly what I've been looking for... Many thanks 👍 😘... The wife thinks I have completely lost it! 🙄... Jez 🇬🇧
Only 50! 😂 Been looking for track ideas age 57! and this whole drainage concept is far more practical and easy to get than the track 3DBotmaker uses! 👏
LOWES IS ALWAYS AWESOME WITH Ideas EVERY TIME!!!
Omg... it's Danny Go!
We Love Danny Go! As the weather gets warmer, try this out with your family! - th-cam.com/video/AeOK1c08aUM/w-d-xo.html
Im 28 with my kid being 4 months, I can't wait till he is older so ima have to get some practice tracks set up before, you know... To master it by the time my son wants to play...

This is epic Daniel! Dare you to make it a wall feature in S2 of the wall 😁
NOW you're talking, Daniel 😆 You never know!
Why isn’t this viral?! So fun
WOW!
cool idea can you join the tubes into one to determine finish
Though I didn't use rain gutters for my track, I did make many trips to Lowes while building our diecast track.
Awesome! It’s linda like the pinewood derby 2.0
Lol. This looks like sooo much fun! Maybe something like this for a dog?
Can I get a hello from Lowe’s employees who also have kids and know who Danny Go is?
Brilliant, thank you!
This would’ve been the greatest crossover of you added a Jimmie Johnson Diecast to race there!
It is cool
Thanks for sharing
This is brilliant
Danny go needs to do a hot wheels episode of sorts!
This is so dope!
Thank you sir! thank you for giving me an idea❤

What is the structure behind you @ 2:28? Do you have a video on that?
C.A.F design
You can make a duck race thing too with them

Great video!!!!
Can't tell wife's but we have super fun as well. :-)
Unbelievable
When i can have my own money i will make this hahaha
This is an awesome idea. I think I'm going to Lowes tomorrow to find some new hot wheels track lol.
What funcion made the dome you have on your back on the minute 2.31 any information thank so
Would there be a way to make a loop too? Or is that too much haha
You could use those maxx tracks rc cars in it a well, or small rc cars.
🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾
sent this to me boys, who are in their late 20s😄
How could you make a banked turn with it?
Hi Lowes Home improvment I need to know if you can connect a mercury vapor bulb to a street light or a traffic light. In addition to how to install a floating floor.
Hold on. IS THIS DANNY GO??????
You are correct!
They don’t have flat bottoms anymore
The family Gon hate that I found this video
What camera were you using when following the cars and the ending scene?
GoPro HERO8 Black 👊🏻
Man I wish I could do this, my dad doesn’t let me use his tools even tho I know how to use them
Are you making a 45 degree grade at the start gate?
I didn't have it that steep for any of these designs, but you certainly could! Would make for a quicker start.
I hope they gave @DudeDad his credit
I think if you remove the electrical tape and raise the corner, you’ll have even better results because it’ll come shooting out of the corner.
P.S. ask the woman in your life what a hairpin looks like. Once you see one, you’ll think, “oh that’s what they mean when they say that.”
I don't even have a backyard 😒😓
that's a bite 😢
@colleenbalanger
Thanks for this video!
