Beautiful build for a red bull gravity racer... wish your wheel had not taco'd on the water hazard. I did a local bar to bar downhill race about 10 years ago where I was probably doing 30+mph over a double set of railroad tracks and caught a lot of air. 20" wheels and I definitely felt it landing, but my Greenspeed GTO recumbent trike took no damage... smaller stiffer wheels with high spoke count well tensioned. Definitely not a home brew build... a high end fast trike with 81 speeds at the time. I like your bodywork, the thick bodywork under it makes sense for a gravity racer where weight isn't a significant issue... more the better until you can't steer... but as someone who pedals their stuff, it hurt to watch that part of the build :)

Beautiful build. I bet it wouldn't take much to convert the rear wheels to electric with that huge trunk space for batteries.

[@dylanbrookes9501]

This looks awesome, my only issue is the use of the bike wheels. In hind site it seems like a great idea but as demonstrated, they can’t handle the maneuvering the races require. Great build nonetheless.

[@kdoust4644]

Enjoyed all your build videos too, very good, very thin aluminium sheet probably would have been a better choice for the body shape though, I look forward to seeing your mk2 version. Keep up the good work 👍😊

[@muneebakhtar6378]

Great success, with this classy gold.. I would be going to make this with instaling motor in it..

[@DasGaneshRAKESH]

I think your rear wheel got bent, bcus you didn't install any shock absorbers for those wheels

[@JuanPedrazaxXXjk]

[@itsthorondil7608]

Id love to see a little generator motor thrown in the back to turn this beauty into a go kart

[@questofknowledge8788]

[@SpareTimeShop]

Thank you, picture of pig 😜

[@fbrickerlp]

@@SpareTimeShop maybe you could motorize the build with an electric motor

[@jackofnone599]

I'm no wheel doctor/scientist, but that doesn't look right.

[@Dan_Kornfeld]

Sweet build! What’s the build plan for the 2020 race?

[@SpareTimeShop]

Bigger wheels! 😁

[@bigronxxxx]

Ruben i watched the the 4 part series and i think you did a incredible job it's sucks you bent your rim on that ridiculous set of speed bumps because you would have finished with a much faster time if you don't mind me asking what place did you finish in and also wanted to say thank you for sharing the series with us,all the best

[@SpareTimeShop]

Hey Ron, thanks for the support. I would have finished a lot quicker if I didn't have my handbrakes on the whole time (I didn't notice at the start) And I don't really know what place I was in, not first, thats for sure :) But I had fun and survived that, for me, is the most important thing

[@faridalrangkuti3882]
