Title: Mini sand rail
Post by: gregvhen on March 16, 2010, 12:10:53 PM
Hey, my friend and i built a mini sand rail from the ground up for a whopping $18 dollars and 8 cents. for spark plugs and a bolt and nut.  We got a free Katana 600, not GS500, engine from school and cut up a free 4 wheeler frame and started building.  Havent had enough room to even get out of 1st gear yet considering the whole thing prollly weighs less than the Kat did, and the rear sprocket we have is smaller than the Kat's was, and the rear wheels are bigger than the Kat's were hahha. The thing will pull like crazy.  We've been having all kinds of sweet fun power drifting burnin out, and doin donuts.  Did i mention the damn thing pulls like crazy?! did a 62 foot burn out without dropping the clutch, and without using any brakes. just stomping on the gas.  more pics to come

Well, the rule is "pics or it didn't happen".  But in this case We gotta see that thing run!
