This guy is amazing. [video=youtube;0d5ntPLnn78]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0d5ntPLnn78[/video] By the way, I love the fact that ubisoft supports this. It really is a clever way to get some attention.
That rear axle is going to be a problem. He hard mounted the back wheels on a frame with very few welds. It could crack and break off. But perhaps big wheels are going to compensate for that.
Colinfurze is an absolute nutter, good to see him getting some proper cash behind him.
Holy shit, I can't wait to see the final product.
Any reason why he put the engine in facing backwards? I'm kinda disappointed he didn't drive it in this video.

[editline]6th November 2014[/editline] this is gonna be awesome, got me pumped up to see it in action.

This guy is nuts In a good way
I can't wait to see it drive.
[QUOTE=Tippmann357;46425764]Any reason why he put the engine in facing backwards?[/QUOTE] so long as the wheels spin the right direction, it's just about convenience/efficiency in how it fit together
Makes me wish I had a tuk tuk
Mad scientist at its finest.

But i suppose tuktuks aren't famous for their Fox Racing Shox plush ride, now are they?
The original madman

This guy is great. Love that song too, shame I can't find it anywhere.
I really enjoy how enthusiastic he is
This guys a mad man. He'd fucking build a fucking rocket chair if it were in a game
[QUOTE=Rocâ„¢;46427020]Mad scientist at its finest.[/QUOTE] More like mad engineer
I just spent the past hour and a half watching this guys videos Jesus christ he makes some awesome crazy shit

[QUOTE=Chickens!;46429432]More like mad engineer[/QUOTE] Mad engineer is kind of a more accurate description of most mad scientists anyway
I highly recommend watching the 60mph mobility scooter
That's gonna be one hell of a bumpy ride without shockabsorbers, looks like he just welded the axle to the frame without any kind of suspension.
[QUOTE=Failgrenade;46433796]That's gonna be one hell of a bumpy ride without shockabsorbers, looks like he just welded the axle to the frame without any kind of suspension.[/QUOTE] That is indeed what he did.
