Hey Guys,
Here are some teaser pics of my latest build. I am not saying what the drive-train will be yet. But, this will give you an idea how serious I am about building a ROCKET!
This is a KMX Typhoon project. I started with a stock KMX Typhoon, then I stripped it, sand blasted it, and cut it apart. The frame was widened 5 inches, lengthened 3 inches, and lowered 3/4 inch. After that, I decided to make the frame into a Space-Frame by using the seat framework as a stressed member. Trusses have been added between the seat frame and mainframe, ala Ducatti, to connect the seat and frame member together as mutually stressed members.
The total itme invested so far is 12 hours. I still have 3 hours of work left to do to the frame before it goes in for powder coating. The frame and rims will be gloss yellow with clear powder over the top and everything else will be gloss black (also cleared). Then the seat will be embroidered with yellow accents and the trike will be professionally pin-striped.
It will use 203mm Hope 4 piston hydraulic brakes.
It will use CNC machined battery boxes anodized black, containing 40AH of 12S lipo.
Total wattage will be 30,000 continuous.
I am pushing for 0 to 60 time on par with a ZR1. It should corner similar to a go-kart.
Anyway, enjoy the pics for now.
