Franken buggy revision 85673A

[Master Hack]

After the recent series of broken stuff the mobile scrap heap was sent back down to the skunkworks division for the latest recall.
l figgered out why they are called the skunkworks! Its cuz their work stinks!
Anyway, the revision included a divorced transmission, beefed up mounts, stabilizer struts, and afew other things, including an engine rebuild.
there were purdy shiny things, purdy blue things, shiny round things, black things, even smelly things.
Egor said its just a coupla more days.

 

[Master Hack]

I can tell by all the replies that everyone is sooo excited to see this project is moving forward.
yeah the anticipation and excitment is off the charts!
well, buckle up buttercup! Take yer heart pill, or whatever, cuz.....
here it is! The propulsion unit has been reinstalled!
yeah, yeah! I know! Calm down!

here it is: (scrap yard engineers will not be held responsible for injury or any kind, due to excitement caused by this news release)

The engine is back in place!

 

[Denny]

Did you replace the block or just weld it up?

 

[Master Hack]

Couldn't afford to screw wiffit.

Genuine Honda Block for GX390 and UT2 GX340

Electric start version can be used on either recoil or electric start engines.

This rolling pile o crap was taken out secretly to the Mt. Top proving grounds for performance evaluation of the new modifications.
Somehow word got out and the media and our fan club showed up at the track.
I want to take a moment to thank our fans! Both of ya! Yer great!
So back to the blue scrap pile, it works great! Nothing broke, fell off or caught fire!
A blazing 45 MPH was recorded on the back straight.
as per the rules video proof is included.

Too bad I don’t have the tube, I can’t see it.

 

[Functional Artist]

Hey T,

Glad to see 'er back together
&
The blue & black look good together

Your "video proof" says it's private
...so, I guess its just for your (2) fans??

 

[Master Hack]

Should be fixed now! Looking to increase our fan base to 3!

 

[Master Hack]

Too bad I don’t have the tube, I can’t see it.

HUH? I think everybody has the tube?

 

[Functional Artist]

Should be fixed now! Looking to increase our fan base to 3!

Hey T,

Um...I'm a fan
...don't I count?
...& nope still comes up private

 

[Master Hack]

...don't I count?

You are one of the original 2.
Try it now

 

[Functional Artist]

Hey T,

Wow!

&
Bad Azz!

Hail Yea!
...that's what Ima talkin' about
...& having that dust cloud, following ya reminds me of a cowboy riddin' outta the desert

Give us "fans" some more details?

How's the ride?
...acceleration?
...top speed?
...etc?

 

[Denny]

Now that I can see it the video is much better. Them invisible ones kinda suck. Might have to give Egor a raise? You can count me as half a fan, it’s kinda heavy and the tires are too small. But it’s way cool!

 

[Master Hack]

You can count me as half a fan

Hey none of this half A$$ stuff. Either yer in or yer out! Only want truly dedicated fans.
Yeah its way heavy, Way over built and purdy safe for two pre teen grandbrats bent on destruction! For what it is I'm happy with it. There is very little actual $$$ invested in this thing. ( that should be pretty obvious)
Will I built another? probably. Will it be mo cooler? probably. Bigger lighter and faster. Plans are being laid....
Will I live long enough to finish it? doubtful. But I'll have fun with it whatever happens.
So, now I'm making a few small improvements to some little things that could be mo bedder.

Give us "fans" some more details?

Full performance report pending review by Engineering and final declassification.
Stand by

 

[Denny]

Sorry, but I can only commit to being half a fan. I only do things half way.

 

[Master Hack]

While we are waiting on engineering to declassify the performance data, we can show you some of the previously unseen advanced features designed into this finely crafted vehicle.

Full 5 point safety harness. If you will notice the freshness date is current.


Parking brake



Emergency two way radio
Since kids can get lost.



APRS (automatic position reporting system)
Since kids can get lost.



Interstellar
crystal ball position location system
Since kids can get lost



Stay tuned for more "advanced technology from the scrap pile"

 

[Master Hack]

In the engine compartment Some serious beef has been added and with beef comes FAT and as Denny says "She's too fat"

In addition to gussets that gusset other gussets, we added some gussets. Adjustable, to move the fat around!



View from the drivers seat (steering wheel removed)



Auto loading winch and trailer securing system.




Denny, please read and retain only half of the above, as per the terms of your fan agreement.
Stay tuned for more exciting adventures from the scrap yard!

Give us "fans" some more details?

Our fan has been impatiently waiting the results of the performance report! I can happily say that report has been declassified! so without further ado...
For a crudely assembled pile o scrap and used parts it runs purdy strong, despite all the fat she carries around!
Steering is not the best at low speeds due to a "solid" rear axle. Throttle steering is a simple matter of depressing the skinny pedal. Acceleration is ample, making it to top speed of 45MPH in just "a few seconds". Fact is its easy enough to pitch the rear end out at almost any time.
The suspension is supple and soaks up the bumps well. The ride is smooth and not jarring all the way up to max.
The "new" engine runs clean and crisp. Starts instantly and pulls strong all the way top speed. Top speed appears to be limited by gearing. I believe there is more to be had, by installing bigger tires. It has been pointed out that the tires are too small, thus f**K**g up the whole thing.
Due to the superior scrounging skills at Egors disposal those tires and wheels were obtained for four score and twenty dollars.
Egor and I can proudly say that everything you see there was hand built here at the Mt Top Lab. with the exception of the obvious. Seat, tires, chain, basically anything that looks good was bought! The rest was made here.

So there ya have it! and thank you to our great fan and 1/2 for inquiring.

 

[Denny]

Daddy, what’s a vampire breast lift?

 

[Master Hack]

All seriousness aside, l don't disagree with the tire/wheel situation, l ve heard that more than once.
The rears are 20"
l'm not sure how big to go, before it starts lookin stoopid.
what say you?
