Beer Case Racer (Project Log)

[Redneck]

that things awesome. i want to build something mini as well so i can just take it places with me. like to the beach and stuff.

thanks man!

thats exactly what had in mind while building! although i´ts not suited for the sandy beach, i figure this vehicle would be ideal on car cruising!.. pop the trunk, take out the beer case racer, start it up and drive of... while drinking beer!

Get some small snowblower tracks and take it to the beach. With some skis for steering. Just a wild idea lol. If you have the extra time and money sitting around.

yeah actually running on the beach while a ford pickup went by i thought of this total idea to make a really portable beach basher. i was with my friend at cape cod. nice flat beaches there. well its going to be winter soon... bummer! im not stopping, even if it wont be done until next spring. tomorrow i get to pick up a 8 horse motor (huge for a beer crate). its prob gonna be a 3 wheeler, one front wheel, that way its easier

That will tip easily. With such a small wheelbase and high COG.

 

[Bluethunder3320]

Yeah i know, but so will anything pocket sized.

This build is turning out pritty nice. I saw a video on youtube once, cant find it now. But this guy mad a kart out of a bear keg, the wheels stuck out the sides and he sat on top, it was cool and funny at the same time.

They most have some crazy flat roads - one good crack or dip and captain cooler would be nursing road rash.

I have a old 72 gallon Igloo that would make a school bus sized ride.

they should have a beer crate demo derby, just saying.

That's called crashing bodies at decent speeds. AKA American football.

 

[Bluethunder3320]

Lol, definately.

quite a while since last update, now im dealing with all sorts of minor adjustments, and ive got the fotpegs done, brakes are almost the only thing left, and seat of course.

considering making a better exhaust, because the oil that does go right trough the engine is ending up greasing the whole front end of the frame, you can see the current exhaust-setup in the 5th pic
