havent done anything onn this for a bit, been busy trying to start up my own drift trike company "JR Drift Trikes"

Here's me and my cousin doing a bit of product testing. He's a racing car driving instructor, as you can see his racing instinct takes over and he stuffs me into the curb, haha

I've got a meeting today with a guy about getting maybe a hundred made in taiwan, watch this space...

rakas17 · « **Reply #78 on:** December 03, 2012, 12:05 PM »

They're seriously fun, and really easy to use!

Whoaaaa

They drift just as good in the dry

Saw the original Trike night car park edit

It's not before time we had an update

Good to hear from you and your progress Joe

Yep, infact its more fun in the dry cos you dont get pis5ing wet

But yeah, you dont need rain, the back wheels are gokart wheels with polyethylene gas pipe over them. They step out as soon as you give the front a little flick, you can hang it out for ages, it scrubs quite a bit of speed off though so once your sideways you have the dilema of holding your drift for longer or keeping more speed for the next corner. When theres 2 of you side by side arse end out at 20 odd mph about 3 inches from the ground its the absolute bollox!

This is a great thread, I'll be watching this one.
Your eye to detail is first class.

BTW your fancy dress costumes are 1st class too.

Absolutely

... There are those who found these threads already, and those who haven't seen em yet
Hey Joe, where'd you think you're going with that unfinished model in your hand?
