Rick and Lex put the final touches on the Widowmaker drift trike, Rick also cuts some laps in a Supercar before they attempt to fire the trike up for the first time!
Totally dig that your son works with you and is excited about what your both doing. Reminds me of working with my Pop's in the garage when I was a young un'. Bas ass trike also!!
Haha brother. That is one epic trike. I mean there’s a thousand trike builds out there but this is the one I’ve been waiting for bro. Beautiful work, hopefully next episode you get used to that beast so we can see you rip. Beautiful beautiful machine brotha..
Hey mate, thanks so much for your message, we really appreciate it. It turned out pretty well, still so things to tune, and some cool additions to come, but most of the hard work is done. Looking forward to riding it a bit 👍🏼 Thanks again
The oil light comes on before you start it because there’s no pressure when the engine isn’t running. It’s a simple sensor either there’s pressure (light off) or no pressure (light on)
That’s a good question, the key design attributes to a drift trike in my opinion are: short wheelbase, big front and small rear wheels, low centre of gravity, fixed rear axle, and lots of steering lock 👍🏼 a normal rear engine trike would be hart to control with plastic wheels, as it would have a lot of weight/momentum over the rear wheels..
@@HellBentGarage that's why your the expert. I have a Harley trike but after your explanation, it would be wasted money to get the same outcome that your build performs..thank you & love your channel.
Awesome work.. did you end up buying a whole new harness or make something up? I assume the original harness was fried, And how did the floor pull up after the burnout haha
Hi Philip, I brought a second bent frame that came with a harness, bent forks, brakes, handle bars etc. that made life a bit easier on the wiring side of things 👍🏼
@@HellBentGarage yea I hear that but u got a wicked set up some rely cool toys in the bak ground to go with it and top noch side kick to help you out mate can't go rong lol
Thanks, yes we worked out after we brought it that it was a breakout 👍🏼 Someone else mentioned the one way valve idea, but once you release the clutch you need the fluid to return to the clutch reservoir Right? You can’t just keep pushing the fluid one way… you just need to be able to shut the line momentarily….
