Hey Guys

Alot of money, trial and error, many burnt motors, controllers and broken bearings this is the end result.

WOW!! looks like fun, but NOT for ME!!!

I side swiped a tree last year and spent 6 months getting back on my feet. I look at the trees you're passing (SIDEWAYS!!!) and I just cringe. Other than that, it looks like a blast!

What are you using over the back tires; looks like PVC pipe?

Yeah we try not to think about the trees LOL. Though it has disk brakes and looking at ABS to. Wheels have PVC, PE or HDPE depending on traction we want. We try and be as safe as possible no roads and helmet is not optional.

Hey Fowler

We should have some more soon, as we may have a track that we can video and test on to get certified.
The aim if it all goes through is to get some fans to come down for the Testing. Everything new i post on our Facebook but i will try update the forum to.

I just came across something on facebook that got my attention. Are you guys going to be at the hunter valley electric vehicle festival? Just saw a post with the video linked in it.

Looks awesome, I'm in one of the school teams for the endurance race a week later.

Hey Jman

Awesome, I'll keep an eye on the Facebook page in that case. Hopefully you haven't got the dates mixed up either, the race is on Sunday not Saturday. Can't wait to see the trikes, such a great sight even without motors.

I hope you see this before the weekend if you did get the day wrong. Anyway, I might see you there at some point, I'm in the Macquarie College team.....Believe me, you wont miss us, we'll stand out quite well
