Discussion in 'Shows Events You've Missed unless you went' started by physiopro, May 28, 2014.

  1. Anyone up for the castle olympics or club challenge?
     
  2. Four I think inc you then we pick up top banana racing and a bug in Tewkesbury :)
     
  3. Ha ha beaver, loving your style! I am up for all or any of it, just not organising it! If you or anybody else wants to make a team up to enter into any of the above count me in!! :)
     
  4. Just got back from collecting part one of my soap box racer and waiting to find out when I can collect the other bit.

    I had a read of the rules, sounds fairly straight forward, max size is 2m wide, 3m high and 4m long, needs 10cm ground clearance, brakes on 2 wheels and some form of steering.

    The only permitted power is a push start and gravity, so looks like the Buick motor is staying in your garage a bit longer @topbananaracing

    I'll keep you posted and hopefully I can get something functional together before the weekend
     
  5. I bet we could get a reasonable team together,
     
  6. I bet we could :)
     
  7. Three wheeler? Kiddy trailer at the back and the bmx forks at the front

  8. Surely better having two wheels at the front and one at the back, that way you can use the pedals from the BMx!
     
  9. I'm thinking 4 wheels will be take me longer to topple over.

    Kiddy trailer for rear wheels and chassis, then the forks, stem and handlebars from the little pink bike for the steering and somehow use both wheels from the blue bike at the front, chop up both frames and weld together for a front axel/ something to somehow attach the wheels to.

    I don't really know how it'll work unitl I can get all the bits together and start hacking it apart.

    Then paint it all brown and make it a tail. "The flying beaver" is going to be "interesting"

  12. We will be watching from the side cheering you on.
     
  13. Pedaling is not allowed, but I hadn't considered single rear wheel.

    It's the steering that is going to be the tricky bit I think

  14. I like the idea of four wheels! I would consider the bigger two wheels at the front as it would be easier to steer! :)
     
  15. perhaps I should also give stopping more than a passing thought.

    And some kind of padding. Motorbike helmet is coming with me

  16. We always used the heel on our shoes against the wheel rim!
     
  17. Brakes only slow you down, the object of the game is to go fast, ergo no brakes are needed.
    FACT.

  18. Rules say I need 2 functioning brakes, doesn't say how much I have to use them.

    Hopefully I can get the bike brakes to fit
     
  19. I agree u will stop at some point!! And if worse comes to the worse you could aways ghosty it down the hill :)
