Beer Case Racer (Project Log)

[Redneck]

So I saw this crazy movie on youtube! And I just thought… I want one!...so ive decided to build one, and this Is my project log on building it!

Crazy germans with all their ideas, makes me wonder who´s the idiot, the man who came up with the idea of a motorized beer case, or the man riding it fast, almost naked!

specs on my build:
• Chainsaw engine
• RWD (two wheel drive)
• Motorbike chains
• Sprockets from a moped/snow thrower
• Steering from bicycle parts

… there isn´t much more to it! The problem is to make fit inside the tiny little beer case!

if someone knows what engine the guy in the video has in his "Beirkiste" please tell!

can you weld, make things much easier. also bike fork ma be a bit large for that unless you cut it down.

 

[freakboy]

I vote the guy riding half nude is the idiot here....

 

[r97]

agreed

 

[KieranM]

typical germans haha, just from the sound id say its a 2 stroke chainsaw engine, no more than 35cc


Or strimmer...

 

[r97]

either use this engine http://www.tboltusa.com/store/lifan-110cc-manual-clutch-engine-fits-pit-bikes-minis-p-158.html or one like it, or this engine http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120596530666&rvr_id=129381750424&crlp=1_263602_263622&UA=WVS%3F&GUID=cedcf8cd1260a0aad2e47214ff2e2e33&itemid=120596530666&ff4=263602_263622#ht_4698wt_1137 you may want to change the ratio though, or get a similar motor

It looks like a box taped to this...

Cruisin Cooler.

We see these a great deal at car shows.

forgot to mention i started this project 3 weeks ago...
and the guy in the vid has an sachs engine (probably 50 cc)

for my build Im thinking: as durable as possible!

 

[r97]

nice, looks like its gonna be tough to fit that engine in there with the axle and steering though

 

[KieranM]

this is one dangerous thing, there is a reason why beer and work dont go together and a reason why karts have belly pans

but how about a nice cold beer after work!!
its not the beer case racer who´s dangerous, its the amount of speed while driving that makes it dangerous, and probably unsafe!!

kieran have you noticed this guys user-name?

jupp, those are nice, but a gas powered beer case is way more awesome than an electric-powered cooler, especially at car shows. lets just say a cruisin cooler would turn more heads at car shows if they were gas-powered, and doing wheelies

 

[Redneck]

I´m staying positive!! although the limited "workspace" inside the litle case is a pain in the ***!!!
I have to tripple-check everything before doing anything!

 

[r97]

cool, at-least you have some wiggle room

Indoor car shows require you to drain all gas and oil out of non show cars during the show. When we take karts to sell or display they must all be drained. I'd say its mostly for ventilation though I can see some other safety concerns, as far as outdoor shows I think you'll turn some heads for sure, just try to make it noticeably loud but not so much you annoy people.

I have never seen a better way to use a chain saw motor .

Good build

How you going to steer it?
