Here's a little longer video. With some unknown kids walking down the hill blanket in hand. Hope I didnt disturbed them to much with all the noise. Lol. But as you can see it is a hand full now and and having bald tires don't make any better.

Going to get some new rubber as soon as I get new hubs. so I can get new wheel and better tires. I would like to get some paddles to for when I hit the dunes or the river.

Rcdad I wish I could grade the hill cause it has some deep ruts. But I don't think the city would like that. Lol

Yes it is. I am real happy with the performance it has now. I know now I am going to need some metal gears. The nylons aren't going to hold up very long.

Yup yup. I took it out to play yesterday and tore up one of tire to where the foam came out. I will get a speed run soon. I do think I can more rpm out of it if I had a different pipe. I think the ddm dom isnt the best for hight rpm.

The pipe you have is going to work for rpms,if you can't get a good high rpm look at the tail pipe and see if got a 1/2" ID hole or not.

But looking at your youtube vid your on the right track with this little engine.

Are you talking about the very end of the pipe. If so it only 3/8 of a inch.

Yes this is what i a talking about, but don't change it yet and see what you can get out of the combo.

You might cut this end out and put a 1/2" but might be to large,you might need a insert it size it back down.
