Been thinking of doing this I've got some old power wheels laying around and a small 5 hp engine that runs amazing just wondering how hard the task would be to do it
if you view the linked imgur gallery build link in the description you will get an idea of the equipment/tools required for this build (lathe, mill, welding machine etc) as well as the mechanical types skills to put this together.
yup. If you click on the Imgur link in the description you can see the build with pictures. I used a 1970?ish mechanical ski doo brake on the rear end.
surprisingly it doesn't run that hot and cooling so far hasn't been an issue. Max run times so far have been around a half hour. But yeah, i was either going to cut out the grill, or put louvers or a fake ram on the hood to help the hot air get out.
Nothing to be ashamed of at all on this build did an awesome job and I've been racking my brain on where to even start on mine.
thanks!
Even sounds awesome, like a way bigger motor
I like it!
Well done sir 🤘

@@eyesacb9113 thanks very much
1:58 - there is always a car coming!
I mean this is cool but put rubber wheels for better traction
The plastic wheels make it a drift missile. . .also i dont want my kid to put it sideways and flip it, the plastic wheels are a safety device.
Got brakes ?

Put holes in the front grill so it can get better cooling

The only thing I’ll do to that is if there the original plastic wheels is to cut up some old bike tyres and screw the tread to those wheels
