Drift Trike?

Recommended Posts

There is actually a very big following of the down hill coaster drift trikes and now the motorized ones are starting to really gain interest.

 

There are a few sites out there that sell the coaster versions and a the motorized versions.

You can buy a Huffy Slider at Wal-Mart for like $80-$90, then there is how to's on youtube that show you how to add sealed bearings and race Kart wheels on the back to add the 10" PVC.

I need to find some 10" PVC, you can buy the precut pieces from the sites for $20 a set but I would like more than one set and at $20 that gets kinda pricey.

I know a few guys that work out at the old Kardex building in Reno that I am hoping can talk to the owner and see if he would let me play in the huge unused parking lot that they have out there.

For the most part, John Layman owns the building and there are still a few companies in there doing stuff. I used to work for Airolite before they were bought out by Greenheck and moved to Wisconsin, Airolite was in that building for about 2 years. The shop floor out there is HUGE and smooth as silk, Would be an awesome kart track or fun on a motorized drift trike. Last time I seen the shop floor there was hardly anything in there but that has been about 5 years ago and I know a lot of the other companies that were in that building have moved out and left.
