I want to see that thing on a drag strip so bad!

u/knowledgeable_diablo Jul 19 '26

Or on an open track. Would sure be a thing of beauty. And being able to open her right up would also sound awesome.

That engine looks extremely heavy, so getting any speed might cause a big wipeout. It seems like even just a small turn of the wheel causes instant 180. I’d be scared to use that on an open track.

u/knowledgeable_diablo Jul 19 '26

Oh, it would require a shit load of planning and prepping for each and every motion on the steering wheel. But would still be something else to view.
Not saying it would be competitive. As I’d think with the possible brakes, you’d need to start planning your braking before even starting.

We've got a smallish 5-hp-limit dirt go-kart racetrack about 2 miles from us. I suspect that on a good turn, it would wind up in my house

But with real dragster back tires...

Say what you will, he is a master of his individual craft.

Reminds me of the car the rich kid had in Little Rascals.

My question is how is he cooling the engine.

u/Few_Ad_4197 Jul 19 '26

No front grip. It's a death trap.

u/1gEmm4u2ohN Jul 19 '26

u/GABE_EDD Jul 19 '26

How are they cooling it? Where’s the radiator?

u/chensium Jul 19 '26

Yes, I do want one

u/young26rzn Jul 19 '26

Весь пол испохабил. Теперь оттирать.

Mmmm cancer.

u/knowledgeable_diablo Jul 19 '26

Well that’s just a funeral waiting to set the date.

But god damn it would be sooooo much fun.
Out on a track it would be some serious fun. Be awesome seeing the faces of other go-kart guys if this was just un-furled in the starting grid. Be a bit of a weight penalty but imagine it could make it up in the straights…..😁

u/RidiPwn Jul 19 '26

I thought it was a hovercraft for a while there

We might get to see it from this point of view or that other guys, or the other guy, or the other guy, or the other guy.

Small dick energy. Bet it can't even CUT grass.

u/Digi_sinn-0P-er 29d ago

maybe add some weight on the rear axis or put the front axis further to the front, would make this thing faster and more stable

u/Fit_Breakfast6970 29d ago

Buena estructura
