Drift trike

Finished this morning. My two youngest did most of the work and design. Bike, old table legs, metal struts, scraps, and @squidskc a new predator engine. Fiberglass tube over the tires for better drifting

That looks fun…I’m setting in ER with my youngest…he wanted to go a lil to fast taking a turn and rolled go kart and landed on his arm…

Be careful. The tubes aren’t coming off these tires until we get a roll cage on it. Hope he is ok.

A fiberglass tube. I think it was a mold of some type. It fit perfect over tires when inflated. Was a dud today. At the shop on smooth concrete the front tire just glided perfectly. On asphalt the tire kept popping of the rim. Gotta find a solid front tire

Well tomorrow gonna be another day at doc…could have been worse…

IBS take tube out of tire get u some spray foam. Drill hole at top and one on bottom fill till comes out top hole then find screws to fit holes till sets up. Probably 2-3 can to make sure it really fills up…did my lawnmower tires that way worked great.

If you haven’t filled your ladder rungs with spray foam it’s like a dream come true if you have them over your truck cab. So much quieter. Got that from @Innocentbystander

We filled all my brother in law ladder rungs yrs ago takes care of the sound going down the road…

I stuck a shop rag in each rung. Was on a 2 hour drive and couldn’t take it anymore!!

Duct tape works well to for rungs on the fly

a buddy built this one for me. too much fun! he used some plumbing pvc for the tires.got a big scrap piece from a construction site
