Default TRAKTOR (something crazy) NEW VIDEO

Due to serious computer issues I can only export short videos (if I'm lucky) so this is all I can show you at the moment but there will be more.
Lots more.

And

A big thank you to everyone who's inspired me, helped me with ideas comments and support.
All of you contributed in one way or another to this being possible.
You know who you are

Here's a bit more.
I've since adjusted the throttle cable and it revs a lot harder now.

That's a retirement village across the road by the way.

Looks like a blast DVP.. You should consider extending the front end a few inches...It looks like it could tip over quite easily..

Can somebody say... DONUTS!!!! lol.lol.

Yeah it's great fun to drive.
Definitely needs to be lengthened as it's prone to tipping.
Especially on the tarmac.
Those rear tires grip the road big time.

It's up on blocks at the moment as the final drive sprocket keeps coming off.
I'm going ot take it to someone with a lathe on monday and get them to make me up something so I can mount it better on the rear axle.

Those poor old pensioners lol.
Looks bloody great mate, i agree it could do with a couple of inches added to the wheelbase. Now you just need a feral tractor body and your really in business

I'd love to come and have a coffee with you Lars, but it's a bit far.
I took the sprocket in to a little engineering shop today and they're gonna make a mount for it.
Should have it by tomorrow or the next day.

Awsome work man. Its cool to see you got the angle grinder gearbox working.
Looks like it handles the bumps pretty well too



Next you will be putting a tuned pipe on it, won't you

The grinder works a treat.
Finally found a straight cut one too.
Stuck the nut on with the strongest loctite, as it's spinning the wrong way, and it hasn't come off yet.
I think I left it for about 3 days before I even touched it so it should be on there ok.

Tuned pipe eh..........mmmmyesss......

Took it for a brief spin on the beach today.
Very hard to control as the rear wheels keep spinning out on the soft sand.
Will try again at low tide.
Should work better.

Nah it all just caked in the air intake after that last rollover.
Next time I'll tie a rag over it or something.
