- Finishing up with the controls and then test riding the variable traction drift trike build.
This is a variable traction drift trike that is able to vary the weight of the trike between rubber and plastic wheels with a control lever. I call it the Grip-n-slide.

This is literally the most over engineered piece of badass driftory I've ever seen. GG man, this thing is rad AF.
Someone spent some time in engineering school - the concepts are excellent and your designs on the extensions look like artwork to me 👍🏼
underrated channel!
Dude what the hell?!?! This is the single most technical and intense build on youtube!!!! Was variable traction even a thing until now?#?! Has anybody ever done anything like this before?!?!,!,!
I have never seen it done before, I think this is the first one. I hope this build will spark interest in variable traction and other people will try some builds using the concept. It will be interesting to see what other people come up with.
Imagine A World I've had a thought or two come up about it... But I've never had the tools, skills or knowledge on anything related to actually planning or building it.
It's so good what this guy has done tho, when I read the title I was like "get the fuck outta here!". So excited!
One of the coolest things I've seen ever. An inspiration!
Someone give this guy a BEER!
Literally was watching on TV and opened phone to comment. You deserve more exposure so here's 2 comments:)
All I got to say is dam !!!!!! That has got to be one of the most incrediblely enignierred drift trike I ever seen
Lonnie hand agreed!
And your spelling is the most awesome
Lonnie hand I was going to comment but you said it brother BADASS for sure !!
Timothy Picciuolo why because you couldn’t build it
This is the best designed drift cart hands down
Amazing to be able to multi function like that
My hat 🎩 is off to ya💪🏾
First off WOW. I have to admit I didn't fully appreciate what you meant by variable traction or the benefits it provides but having watched your videos several times i'm sold. Your corner entry speed and exit speeds are unsurpassed and the drift on demand stick is genius although I would probably prefer a foot control. I'm currently in the process of building a "standard" electric trike which I think ill continue with but now you've got me thinking of a mk 2 already. Very well done, I hope in time to do my own interpretation.
Beautiful craftsmanship on that trike.
That thing is what I always imagined my old plastic ass Big Wheel was when I rode it up and down grandmas driveway as a young lad. Outstanding build sir, !👏! I can only hope for a fraction of such success on my upcoming project. I been wanting to do either a drift trike or a cross kart type thing. Though If I had the proper tools, materials, and facilities, I would very much love to build a kart sized replica of a D1 formula drift car. Something close to about 1/2 scale or 1/3 scale would be super nice...
Liked your design and the way you did the linkages
What a great machine u've built dude!! I woul'd love to get one of that.
Too complicated to build without much experience.
Well done!
best trike build i have ever seen very well done
Man what an amazing idea you have come up with! I hope it gains traction!! 😎
You do some great stuff and that’s pretty good riding for 20 min seat time. I’m going to follow
Wow that is cool. Nice concept. Love the shifter.
Very nice shots dude. Most people give one angle of riding but amazing job with the different povs
This is the most incredible motorized drift trike I have ever seen and I want one
Damn it man, that 360 though! Nice set up much different then others ive seen
You sir, win the internet this year. Take my money.
All I can say is your driving skill is amazing
Yeah by far one of the best built and coolest things on here!!!!
Twist throttle, variable tires on right foot, and paddle shifters! and GO! - haha nice work man.. looks fun
Wtf? engineer gone mental, love this thing!!!! Why because drift trike....absolutly crazy!!!
So amazing, I’m blown away!
Sick fabrication work man
This has to be one of, if not THE MOST, amazing thing I've ever seen someone MAKE! DAMMIT MAN! I hope you work for NASA or some shit!
Sick work Cameron
Engineering is amazing. Ride looks bad ass. Good job sir.
Nicely done mate!
Dude I got mind blown. Didn't see your channel yet so don't understand at all how it works but... IT WORKS! Suscribed! Sick gear shifter BTW!
WOW! That's all I will say. Can't wait for the frame kit to be out.
Wow your drift trike is no joke, very very cool
Great Job! Hope you do more like it in the future.
wow, This is insanely awesome. Great build man, amazing concept on the mechanics and design, awesome skill on this little monster. Keep that fire burning Sir.
I dont mean to be so offtopic but does someone know of a tool to log back into an Instagram account..?
I was dumb lost the login password. I appreciate any tips you can give me!
@Josue Draven Instablaster ;)
like how you machined the parts. nice build. from another builder
Awesome job, great video.
Sweet build bro.
You should name it "the smile maker".....damn fine work sir
Amazing work hats off to you sir
That's an impressive project!! Awesome.
I have cero experience in drift trikes myself but maybe it would be easier to control the trike with a CVT engine and an electronic actuator (controlled with the left foot) to lift the rubber tires.
Keep it on!! Looks so much fun!
Truly amazing! You know they make a single brake lever that operates two cables. They're mainly used on motorized bicycles. ✌️🍻
Awesome work!
That thing is fucking awesome. Get ready for the orders to start pouring in. Good luck with your next build
Engineering marvelous well thought through trike engineering something I would like to see in professional racing. My current build is 196cc 15 hp motoriced fat bike but this trike takes the cake.
Very impressive shifter idea is great
speechless........very nice job I LOVE IT!! What kinda money do you have in parts and material?
Brilliant idea. Love it
Wow really nice set up . Does not look easy to ride ? But with time u can shed with the best of em . I seen ya first vid on this and seen 4 wheels was wondering why but makes sense now and makes a great way to really control ya slide.
Masterpiece, sir!
AWESOME build also!!!
I would surely buy it, awesome....truly awesome.
That is badass man!!
awesome mate well done
There's awhole lot going on here! Killer job!
This is pure badassness!!!
You have made all of that work i have made a gokart but an easy one 125cc shifter, u can make the gaz at the wheel and the shifting for +in the right foot and shifting for - in the left it would be more easy to ride drift and comfortable, nice job anyway.
Amazing. Dangerous, but amazing.
That entry speed though👌
That thing is so badass
That is one of if not the best build I have ever seen on a Drift Trike. Please keep up the good work and I really hope that can be out to the public someday if it is not already. If so where can you get the variable traction setup at?
Pretty ingenious
I mad one but not near that caliber. By how you built that, I’d say you have to be an engineer. Pretty dope
OMG that thing is insane, I Luv it, look at it Go...
That's awesome!!!
bro u r superb
bike is incredible
whaaaat!? buhahaha that is the dopest thing ever.! Im not too sure about the elbow shifter but kudos for coming up with such a nifty mechanical solution. I think that an electric version of a toy like this would have some serious market potential. Perhaps petrol power was your choice of preference but in order to make it easier to learn how to ride it i'd say trick is to simplify the controls. Would a variomatic clutch or maybe an electric servo shifter be an idea for a next version? great project man, looks like a ton of fun
Great job
freaking awesome!!!
looks like one of those projects that runs away and gets way over-engineered but this thing works great. I imagine the foot controls aren't ideal because you're transfering so much weight to your heels. can you put make a twist throttle on the slide lever handle?
Damn...sir you a legend...
I'm 70 years I'd like to try it I think it's cool
How much for you to build me one your is the best I have seen on in internet so awesome
So cool!
Yep, you're nuckin futs.😂😂😂
Amazing build
Make it paddle shift and the grip control leg activated, that thing is awesome
Dual tires without the cringy pvc covers...AWESOME!!🤙🏾🤟🏾👍🏾
Things things dope 🔥🔥
Beautiful engineering!!! But i would have done some of the controls different
Looks like shit ton of fun
wow very cool!!!
Have to take a class to ride it!!
Beautiful 😍😍😍😍
Awesome 👏 that’s bad ass
dam that thing is badass
Best! Drift! Trike! EVER!
Just great!!
Hey how much would it cost if somebody asks you to build and change the kickstart for the electric start also the clutch for the automatic
Wow! Just wow! 👍👍
this things so dope
3:30 hehehe pareceu cena de filme kkkk muito bom,otimo projeto
Awesome🤯
If you had a sweet easy clutch/brake lever combo, foot shift lever, a twist throttle and maybe foot lever for traction I bet it would be way easier to ride.
You should open a drift trike shop that is badass
great man
Killed it
Awesome build! Truely a bad ass trike... but that grip n slide lever is a broken arm waiting to happen. That being said I'd ride it anyway
Man I think it's because he used full manual engine,, but using a semi or full auto he can remove the elbow shifter,
