It's off one of those kmart Drift trikes surprisingly good fit for an adults ass. Litteraly every inorganic or tip ship will have them

Finally this is running pretty reliably it's pretty twitchy on tar seal but on grass it's absolutely magic.

Got confident yesterday gave it wide open throttle in 3rd gear it had no issues spinning the wheels for 200 meters while probably going 90kph! And makes awesome doorts out the carb that's just under your chin.

It also does drift but requires absolute commitment as it tries to both grip and wheel stand.

Pretty handy fits in work ute perfectly and can be loaded by comfortably just on my own.

I enjoyed that read ! Another video please !

Finally fixed the weak rear axle situation. 

Chopped the whole ass end out replaced it with a chunk of steam pipe and welded it in with everything straight this time, and chucked on a 5 litre fuel tank

Me and my son beat the absolute shit out it for 2 hours with no let up and it spins the wheels endlessly lock to lock stable as. Does donuts like a mad thing to and just loves it!. Video below.

I did roll it on its side doing some donuts was still running so flipped it over and did more.

Hmm I think I might need to strip it down tidy up some of my early welds with my old dying welder and paint it.

One handling characteristic im not enjoying is it darting on tarseal small inputs equal sharp turns and 3 wheeling, it doesn't do it on grass exact opposite it'll go flat out on grass feeling stable as anything. On sealed surfaces it gives me the shits above 60k.

I've measured it all up found the track front and rear vary by only 2.5mm so can string line it, took some toe out of it was even worse put more in it went back to how it was.

What's the trick even more toe? Get rid of the second hand front tyres?? 

[Muncie]

Borrowed a go pro, and got my son to try break it, success takes beatings like a boss even with me on it.

Shit it sounds ace too!

Kept killing spark plugs which were unobtainable due to covid. So once I found some I bought lots.

Switched to 100 octane and it's way happier.

Enjoy, only short but I was getting utterly pelted.

Finally found rear wheels almost gave up and bought new, not as wide as I originally intended but pretty meaty none the less had to buy rims and tyres separately too.

Will try get these on this weekend the old quad wheels are falling to bits and the tyres roll when doing donuts.

[Muncie]

Got them on took for a quick spin yuss gearing is now what I expected 1st isn't geared to moon 2nd is brutal and 3rd pulls like a freight train 4th and 5th go.

And it's not trying to flip over when you turn now.

Has a rake that looks purposeful because of smaller wheels.

[Muncie]

Got same tread tyres for front too.

Not used to proper sticky tyres.

[Muncie]

Wound this thing up to 5th gear on weekend fair fucking flying and still pulling at a guess it would probably be good for 150kph I backed off well before then though.

The front suspension has a bit of a wobble when you back off as the weight comes back on, needs some bushes to tighten up as there's some play.

Dead keen to see if my son could race it in the junior dragster class..... after I sort the suspension.

[Muncie]

Got around to last few things that have bugged me, the suicide shifter has always been a difficult to use made a foot shifter out of of some go kart bits I scored its absolute bliss makes it dead easy to ride.

Last thing I want to do is lower the seat height and paint it. 

Rev limiter 1st through to 4th is a blast need to find some places to use it more often probably be good on the beach.

[Muncie]

First time editing a video forgive me.....

 

 

[Muncie]

Anyone keen on this? I need some extra cash for my commodore project. 

It's probably suitable for hard as nails kids its still a hoot for adults though will fit in a wagon too. Just the thing for ripping up tge lawn this summer.

See the for sale thread.

Fuck this Lifan engine...... its got so much blow by the PCV is basically a 3rd exhaust 

Honda GX610 Can go in itll eat CVT belts but their cheap 

[zach_munce]

Pulled the Lifan to bits blown head gaskets. My plan is put it in a coffee table since it's all chrome. Have started mocking up the jack shaft gonna 420 from the motor then 520 of the jack shaft to the axle, shifted motor as far forward as it'll go to try put some weight on the front

Thanks to @MaxPower for donating from his stash this thing has received another bike engine, I was going to put the engine in my Moped but It fit this so bloody well it was meant to be so many things fit from the old engine.

@zach_munce cleaned the frame up today it's been through so many changes it had old mounts everywhere for things that are long since gone. All of those are gone now and degreased ready to make now one's.

Even the VROD Pipes aren't miles off from fitting.

Its one of my favourite projects I've made its now too small for me or Zach however it was made for the weight of an adult so whatever its just small.
