Whoa. Ambition with cool kid toys - not sure where to put that in my brain. Mind-blowingly, slacker-ishly cool. Hard to believe that was one continuous run - do they claim that or is it a given that it is edited? I canā€™t believe one little powered car could run that long and strong going up some steep inclines - must have a batteryā€¦ ---

Well, theyā€™re not Hotwheels cars but rather Darda cars. They run on wind up motors (roll the car backwards to wind). Their running distance is limited so itā€™s not one car running the whole track. But they do make a ā€œbump-and-runā€ car that sits idle until it gets hit in the back. They may have had a bunch of those lined up in a chain reaction. Iā€™m not sure why they put all the ping-pong balls on the track though? ---

Umā€¦guys, thereā€™s no conceivable way thatā€™s one track or one take. You did see the part where it went from the inside of the house to a skateboard park? Nice editing and camera work, though. Considering that the two guys shown at the beginning of the video look like they should be sitting on a couch doing Beavis and Butthead routines, itā€™s amazingly professional. Which vaguely makes me suspect itā€™s viral. (Actually, I just watched it again, and itā€™s definitely professionally made. I donā€™t think amateurs are going to be able to reproduce the tracking shots. Not to mention that thereā€™s probably 10,000 dollars worth of track used in the video.) ---

Maybe thereā€™s a treadmill moving backwards at exactly the same speed the wheels are travelingā€¦ šŸ˜ƒ ---

I thought those tracks had little spinny wheels that gave the cars a boost forward every so often and thatā€™s how it kept going. I believe it is the black thingies every so often on the track, they have wheels on the sides that are continuously spinning and send the car flying when it goes through. ---

They lost me when they went to the park. Until then it seemed like a crazy-ass long track that these guys made in their house, once they broke that wall it became a stupid editing spectacular that Iā€™ve seen 100 times before. ---

They had to go to the park to set up the ending. Thanks to those who explained that Darda is a type of car and track. I had no idea. I thought it was just the surname of the 2 guys in the beginning of the video. And even knowing itā€™s got edits (it obviously does), I still think itā€™s very creative, very well done, and tons of fun. ---

Itā€™s possible that the background sounds were loud enough to throw the apps off, assuming thatā€™s an actual studio recording of a song. Alternately, it could be a song thatā€™s been rerecorded and changed enough to throw off the anti-music-pirating automated efforts on YouTube. ---
