RX-7 Rotary Drift Trike is Finished!
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
We finished the 13B drift trike! This week was all about painting welding and putting all of the finishing touches on the RX-7 rotary drift trike. This is the most wild drift trike we have ever seen!

Pro tip: use gaffer’s tape to mask surfaces from sand/media blasting. It is stronger and doesn’t leave as much (if any) adhesive residue. I have 5 years of aircraft parts processing experience and assure you, I have tested MANY masking materials for almost any parts finishing/preparation process and Gaffer’s is gold

As an automotive painter for over 20 years I can attest to how good Duplicolor self etching primer is. I have used it extensively and have nothing but success with it. I have nothing to gain by making this claim other than helping people out. Edit: I don’t mean that it is the best product for every situation. But for a rattle can primer, it’s the best I’ve found. It dries fast and is very sandable.

Duplicolor’s one-step self-etching primer comes in a conveniently easy to use pressurized canister, with a pre-installed spray nozzle that was designed by NASA for painting plastic & steel enclosures that housed return system CPUs of the Gemini rockets. collect the whole spectrum, no assembly required. always wear a respirator when using product in enclosed spaces & the capitol of Nebraska is Lincoln.

Absolutely love the build but I would recommend looking for a custom triple tree online, they make them for dirt bike to atc conversion kits and essentially just spreads out the front forks to fit a wider front wheel and it'll make a nice difference in safety and high speed stability, will also allow you to float over bog and sand easier without trenching and will make it better in snow... not to mention overall look imo... Anyways I love the build just thought I'd offer my suggestion:)
I know you were concerned about a cable snapping and you losing steering, but have you ever thought of replacing the cables with either threaded rod, or just 1/4 inch solid rod with threads cut into the ends to accept the heim joints?

Some of the ridiculous stuff you guys do just breaks my brain. Using the frame to route coolant surprised the hell out of me.

“The argon are gone”. I could stop watching the video there 😂
Rotary is one of those units that sounds awesome no matter how crappy it actually runs. Looking forward to the full send.

freakin love watching your channel! Another epic build, great job as always!
I am loving this American boy boasting good foreign parts. Making such an incredible American built frame, to lovingly hold all those foreign components. This is what the world needs. Love for and from everyone. How is this 1 KZread channel showing what America is supposed to be about so well with just an EPIC DRIFT TRIKE?!
Will there ever be a final followup to this build?
Tip for the next time, the right order is two wheels in the front, one in the rear. That way you have much much much more control over the trike, much less chance of flipping over, which will cause bodily harm. One wheel in the back is also easier to drift with and it provides a easier geometry to work out. I speak from experience.

It's literally a different vehicle when you do that. Anyone that is driven both types of bikes or trikes, that's the whole reason why you want to ride it. When you put two wheels in the front, it turns into a car feeling

They built a reverse trike a couple years ago. Youre probably right I don't doubt it, but I think they were going for two rear wheels this time to switch it up

This is a great video as like all your videos. My Uncle and I would do the same thing to vehicle, buggies and bikes, my Aunt would holler at him saying , your gonna hurt our nephew. Gents, you have absolutely brought back some excellent fond memories for me and the early 70's. Yes, I am old. But you never out live your dreams, passions and your attitude of "I can do that". I have a Son now (Adult) he is a Mech Engineer and we love tearing into things together. It's good to see younger generations doing this. Thank you very much for sharing. Stay safe and keep building.
Love the new color scheme! Now you gotta play with the headlight and make it look like an arc reactor!

The Crusty Dorito! Nice! Lol Great name for the trike! 😁
The frame is beautiful and so is the color scheme. Definitely looking forward to the next installment.

Is anyone else still waiting for the full send video of this trike? I have looked through the entire list of videos and can't find it. Did I miss it somewhere?
These guys are pretty incredible. There’s at least one genius in this group. Probably 2 1/2.

It's been a year, will this ever get the running driving video?
This frame is very DIY powder coating worthy. A couple oven heating elements and a worthy structure and very little in money to get up n running, more effort than cost :]
Hanging there, all primed up, it reminds me of the star wars speeder bikes in the woods!

Love to see the trike back, that color scheme is fantastic! Like Ethan I didn't think it would turn out this awesome in the end.
You are basically riding a drivetrain and enough tubes to hold up a seat. Awesome idea to use the structure of the transmission as part of the frame.
That is absolutely insane! Nice build!
So i have a 98 a4 with a paxton e92 blower on the 2.8 liter v6. Haltech elite 1500 ecu, 6 speed swap. I pulled the front axles off and hub splines off the shafts, bolted them back up to keep the hubs together. This was just an experiment but, 360 whp rear wheel drive b5 a4. It worked and that stock rear diff was a CHAMPION!!!
Bro! You and the gents are killing it. Quite the fire!
Gave those fingers a good workout with all the rattle can painting!💯💪🥵
lol who else was disappointed to not see this thing run 😅 I was so pumped it looks so freakin cool great work
Looking forward to it ripping in all its rotary glory and sound!
Fantastic! I wish you would have covered the primer with white or silver, clear, red and clear again.
Honestly very excited to hear U-132 made its way back into a video. The music was something I always enjoyed in the beginning videos and makes your videos that much better.
Shoutout to all of my powdercoaters out there. Keep her looking premium.
Always a joy watching y’all videos
That looks surprisingly amazing, night and day difference from before. Amazing what a bit of paint and patience can do
Buy some kitty litter to keep around the shop for small oil/fluid spills! Works amazing and easy to clean after and smells decent. Plus you have extra jugs for misc fluids
thats how you do a sick paintjob!, it takes time and alot fo prep but omg you nailed it
This is hands down one of my favorite builds
This came out looking amazing! Great job guys
this is by far the best build yet
Can't wait to see this thing rip!
I’ve been using that metal spec paint forever the more layers of it the sicker it gets, I’ll also do like 4-5 coats of clear on my valve covers, looks like the depth of a candy apple
That thing is gorgeous the colors look great together a true piece of artwork! And it looks pretty bad ass as well ! can’t wait to see this thing ripping around ,great video and build guys ! keep up the great work!👍🏼🤩💪🏼

Such a brilliantly unique piece of art right there I must say. Cannot wait for the full send. be safe
I can’t wait to see how this performs, it looks so unique!
I love seeing people succeed !!! Awesome build sirs
i would recommend putting blast plates around the transmission, the stock FD transmissions are kinda weak and the outer casings can shatter. I cant imagine it should be much of an issue with that, but being a drift trike the transmission will get alot of abuse,, as for the steering, superfastmatts straight line racing trike has a VERY similar steering system except it uses 2 sets of hardlinks and heim joints, if you are worried about safety (lmao) those are what i would look into. Love your channel, looking forward to more awesome videos :)
Catchy custom work, well done!
Need to have the Vargas Brothers give her a top notch tuneup. The trike came out amazing!
this is my favorite duplicolor commercial ever...
Looks like you've harnessed a chariot onto a wasp. Pretty cool, although i'd prefer steering rods instead of cables and attach them to slightly wider arms to make steering easier and stress the components less, especially when the front wheel deflects off things etc.
You guys are just crazy nuts. Lol seem like y'all would be a bunch of fun guys to hang around with.
first youtuber to weld the gears to the housing thankyou lol mines still going after ten years of aussie skid abuse in many different cars and engine forms
