Bar Nuthin 278 #3 Posted Friday at 01:56 PM (edited) You need to make a PTO driven version so you can just sit and watch them turn green! Maybe an 8-speed so you can keep score. Edited Friday at 01:58 PM by Bar Nuthin 2 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ri702bill 8,387 #8 Posted Friday at 02:49 PM Nah, go big or go home. Use a 4:10 ratio axle!! 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 62,945 #9 Posted Friday at 03:03 PM I’m sure there are plenty of Covid barriers left in stock at some warehouse… stick those up so Waldo and Skunk can still play together! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
clueless 3,006 #10 Posted Friday at 03:11 PM I've got an old 4:11 out back somewhere if you need one, and I'd slap some 13" tires on it. like my man said "go big or go home" 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 62,945 #11 Posted Friday at 03:53 PM I imagine with a little ingenuity it could have a secondary drive system to invert the rider too. Like a real circus ride! 1 2 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dana 60 axles can have a 7(+):1 ratio. Get a splitter. Go 14 to 1. Park an adventurous human or two on there and GET BACK! 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wouldn't smaller tires rotate the axles faster for a given ground speed? You just wanted to see @elcamino/wheelhorse and @squonk launched into orbit faster.

ri702bill 8,387 #14 Posted Friday at 05:34 PM (edited) Kind of like the "Granny Launcher" Stair Chair in the movie Gremlins!! "Step right up folks, take a ride on the "Twirl & Hurl" Family fun for all!!". Edited Friday at 05:37 PM by ri702bill 3 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kpinnc 12,175 #20 Posted Saturday at 12:13 AM While I can think of several reasons not to ride that thing- the first thing in my mind is how much trust I’d have for those tiny bolts holding that big frame on there. And I absolutely would use a set of scales to match the occupants weight! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wallfish 17,023 #21 Posted Saturday at 01:35 AM Better have trust in the driver towing it. That guy kept it pretty tame but being at the mercy of some yahoo say'n hold my beer and watch this could really test the welders skill and the capacity of the bolts. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
