Here is the pitbike and as you can see the reason i want to convert it to a trike is because the inner tubes wear quickly and the chain keeps falling

Inner tubes don't wear at all, they're encased in a tyre. If you're going through inner tubes, it usually means there's something in the tyre or on the rim which is piercing it...As for the chain, more than likely, there's a simple solution to that problem...
missing "nipple tape"?
I think chafing band is your term ...
stiff rubber or canvas tape to protect the inner tube from sharp corners on the spoke nipple...

Yes- simple as a few wraps of electric tape or a strip of old tube......

Other than these 2 problems guys i saw videos on YT of some drift trikes and i really liked the idea, so here is what i'll do i'll buy an old Chinese quad and get the rear axle off it and just figure out a way to connect it to the back of the bike so what do you guys think

Yes to buying an old quad, no to joining it to that bike: A drift trike relies on a low COG which, by its very nature, no part of that bike can provide

I agree. Besides, that's too nice still to hack up.

It doesn't look very straight from the rear, what happened?
So, how did you get to this point? It's not just about what you start with & how it ends up, we like to know what you did to achieve this...

Can you modify the the quad rear swing arm to bolt into place of the pit bikes swing arm pivot ?

yea i did some sketches yesterday and i thought of getting some 1inch square tubing and weld it on the quad swing arm of course i'll cut of the round tubing that has the bearings in it and then weld the tubing and weld some flat stock on the end of the tubing so i can bolt it to the frame so ya thats what i might do today i hope it works
