This was great. I was so pleased to see that it wasn't just another janky death trap, but a well thought out project. The steering was well engineered.
Hearing protection around high speed tubines. And try get the intake higher off the ground. The higher the longer the lifespan. Maybe behind the driver.
@Ron-l9d if you crash and die, you don't need to worry about your hearing, but if you live or not the one on it Hearing damage can't be fixed and you will eventually regret it that and wearing ear pro is easy and fast so why not unless you like tinnitus or going partially deaf
To fix your wheel ballooning issue, use carbon fiber or similar thread in the groove of the tires and tie them down really tight. It'll act as support to prevent the rubber from swelling as much without changing the actual tires themselves or posing any characteristic changes.

Lots of Superglue & shorter and more tire screw pins more evenly spaced out. If you can keep the inner bit of the tire stuck to the rim you'll get less gyroscopic force multiplication with any 'flailing' of the tire that occurs. Also a possible smoother ride.
The year was 1976. Me and my #1 home slice, Mike G mounted a McCulloch go kart engine on my little red wagon. We had reinforced the axels and used air tires, but kept the steering handle. Probably didn't go much over 25 MPH, but we did it. And we're not sorry.
I have to admit this video is the most interesting I have ever watched , you are amazing your planning and attention obviously paid off. Congratulations Job well done.
You may have competition from a person a friend saw in Nevada's Black Rock desert, years ago, prior to the the 'Burning man' festival. While it did not conform to using only 'Flexi Flyer' flyer parts (what this wagon was called when I was a kid), it was very similar. Where it distinguished itself was its use of a pulse jet engine. He said it both accelerated and traveled at extremely fast rates.
That was so cool, Louis you never fail to inspire. Also nice surprise to say Daniel from The Waterjet Chnnel pop up! That guy is legitamately hilarious.
Wow, congratulations on the new record! You definitely wouldn't catch me out there on a fast-moving skid-inducer, but it's fun to watch someone else do it! Happy New Year!
Video came up while researching turbine engines, and I was just dumbfounded. I sat there literally, with my jaw open in disbelief. At 53, I have done some things that would border crazy and insane. You beat em all. Enjoy that pride of accomplishment but be ready, others will now step up to try to dethrone you. I look forward to seeing more., Shea G, owner, MMO Radio
That was so cool. Right before you took off on the flats, I was like those wheels are too thin, that frame is too thin!! But they weren’t and you did it!!
I think you should also have to steer with the handle. As kids we would bend them so they were lower to the wagon. That thing isn't the dashboard its the steering wheel.
Earned many subscribers with that record and with that commitment to creating the framework around which others may compete. I'll join the chorus of people saying to wear hearing protection: I made the mistake of growing up awesome but neglecting hearing protection: motorcycles with just a helmet convertible cars on the highway cars with limited exhaust damping :) a straight piped 1960 Austin Healey Sprite is quite loud drumming/fifing in a fife and drum corps shooting guns These things combined to form the Voltron of tinnitus, and if you don't protect your ears, you too will suffer from this insanity inducing debilitating problem. My right ear always, 100% of the time, has multiple tones like the sound of this guy's jet engine. A high pitched tone. 24x7. Left ear has a different set of high pitched tones always playing, but ALSO sometimes clicks like a Geiger counter if the slightest wave of pressure hits it, so I wear an ear plug in my left ear almost all the time. The left ear also sometimes wooshes with my heartbeat, which is super annoying to chill out at the end of a long day and hear woosh woosh woosh woosh. I have been wearing hearing protection when riding, driving, drumming or fifing for about 10 years now, and it hasn't gotten any better. But no, can't have nice things. There are dips in the hearing right around the pitch of human voices, and if someone isn't clear and annunciating properly, if they whisper or are just a quiet talker, I can't hear a single thing coming out of their faces. They may as well be pretending to speak. If they turn the volume up, but look the other direction, or there's a lot of background noise, I can "hear" them, but can't understand a thing they say. I can't have a conversation in a crowd that isn't shouting at each other. When I go deep into the woods hiking or hunting, and you can hear the wind gently blowing through the branches of the trees? I also hear high pitched tones, clicking and wooshing. Sometimes, deer make noise in the woods, and most times I can't hear it.
I feel like a step that should have been taken would simply be getting the wheels up to the goal speed to see if they can handle it. The bead lock idea sounded good, but that extra step would have been nice too, I think.
I feel like your next logical step is to graduate to lawn mower racing. I've never seen a jet powered mower. 😂 The jet wagon was cool. I'll have to check out more of your videos.
There is no one thing that makes people do this kind of thing. You discover stuff about yourself, while checking if the front wheel is still attached. 😲😆😎 Get Hungry, get angy, get after it...
Well done. Suggestions,,,,,,,,, 1. With your feet out of the wagon. Fully extend them, like a luge racer, ( a must look up) Then under the wagon and on the steering. Mount a plate that goes to as close to the ground as possible. Make a say a 3 to 4 inch gap. The take plastic edging and mount that to the plate until it touches the ground. Ride the wagon around until it stops grinding the plastic skirt. 2. Wheels,,, Major ideals. take the wheels apart. separate by sides. Heat the tires in hot water and measure the growth. Increase the diameter of where the tire touches. 1/16 " diameter. put real low friction sealed bearing in the wheels. Then full expanded assemble the wheels. The have the wheels and tires trued on a lathe and balanced. 3. Put side skirts on the wagon tube. close to the ground and grind them to. 4, put a filter on the intake of the jet. If an intake is needed. Make a cone to the front of the steering. (high pressure area). This will force CLEAN air into the engine. Enjoy.
Riveting project congrats to everyone involved that it didn't turn into a bloody mess. The steering damper gas strut was a smart idea to mitigate the treaded speed wobbles resulting into a critical crash. Cheers, #SeattleRingHunter
I still have the scar from being pushed in a wagon into a bench and having the handle cut my forehead. Good thing the neighborhood kids weren't going for record speed.
I don't understand why you didn't test the wheels with a tachometer to gauge whether the tire would depart at higher speeds, but great job getting her up there! Can't wait for someone else to go faster ;)
Very well done. I’d say the next step is aerodynamics. You need to lay down so you can punch a smaller hole in the air. What was left of the plastic bushings? And have you actually corresponded with the SCTA about participating in speed week?
That was pretty crazy. Great video. I can see that you’re gunna need some more rules on cart modifications . 🤠 I’m surprised there was no link in the description to buy a jet engine!
Yes, the Salt Flats are the place to go to set land speed records. It has been since 1912. But with that said, it wasn't intended to be done in a toy wagon. Much less by strapping a jet engine to it. The dudes that set records have like hundreds of thousands invested. And even some of them failed. But as we advance as a species, safety concerns became in an issue.

Imagine just driving on the interstate, and some dude casually passes you doing 65mph in a kids toy wagon?
Ditch the idea of using 2 springs! Use only 1 to keep the steering in the middle!
But WHY ? Well, whet happens if 1 spring fails (detatch or break) ?
