Congratulations to all involved. Incredible engineering reflected in your great video. The team behind the entire journey over many years deserve the sincere thanks of all South Australians.
Cheers for this vid Tom. I been thinking about taking the missus and kids there for a while but there basically no good video or pics of the place. Sailed past it and fished near it a ton of times when I was younger but never got to stay there.But thanks to this video Im going to take the family there for a few days (when its warmer).
Thanks man for making this video. I purchased two gas struts for assisting the lowering of a drop door, not realizing they were only for assisted lifting and not for lowering. Instead of purchasing two dampers (which are much harder to find than a normal gas strut for some reason) I came across this video and it worked great for me in converting my struts to dampers. Just so anyone else reading this knows, my struts were rated at 100N, powerful but I could still close using one hand. I had no problems drilling with a tiny drill bit and there was no extreme gas release or explosion of the chamber - although I was wearing eye protection and a jacket just in case :) Once the hole is made, the force required to pull the damper can be easily adjusted by adding or subtracting the amount of oil that you suck up. Also, I taped mine like Tom said but for added strength I am going to seal the hole with epoxy. Thanks again!
I don't know if you can tell the difference but a 4 stroke and 2 stroke sound very different, besides that, the engines are both mechanically and physically different. And there are lots of 4 stroke pocket bikes.
@GrueliusE30 Its a 4 stroke which has no trouble spinning the wheels, and it has no pedals so no pedalling at all, and yeah it could go very sideways as the bike steering can turn as far as needed. The rear slides very easy because of the solid axle - no diff of any sort.
I have this great feeling that drift trike racing is going to be the next big thing in a couple more years. If it catches on like pro bmx or skating don't be surprised to see some form of drift trike action in the XGAMES by the end of the decade, I predict it. Im gonna design and build one myself, and maybe come up with some innovative ideas along the way. If there's any groups or websites anyone can refer me to, I'd appreciate it. I want to check out the scene.
@gayan123451 Couldn't say exactly but heres some rough maths - i think i pushed with about 20Lb, against roughly a 1/2 square inch piston, that means it was no more than 80Psi in there, just use one you can compress by hand and the smallest drill you can find.
