Team SAU Billycart.

[Snowman]

Saw this advertised on TV and has got me thinking about orgainising a Team SAU Billycart!

http://www.redbullbillycartgp.com.au/

We can make a billycart that looks like a little GTR! I volunteer to be the driver! Engineering side of things I'd suck ass at but there are a number of guru enginners on here that Im sure could help build a pretty kick ass billycart!

What do people think?

[doxximus]

yes lets do it! with clear bonnet and a lil mock engine with big high mount single

[sammus]

put a roll bar on it so you don't break your neck, like some look like they will in the advert...

[funkymonkey]

i'm the smallest so I should drive... lol

if we can collect $200 then I can bring this down...

or in alternative colour...

or the super deluxe modified version...

Nothing a lil chassis stretch (get troy to do it), a go kart seat, rollcage and tyres can't mend. Its already got the peadls all set up, i'm sure we can rig up bike breaks to it...

[sammus]

that steering wheel looks like it'll snap off... get a momo

[funkymonkey]

dun abg the steering wheel moite...

[DJ_L3ThAL]

lol wtf

i was thinking the EXACT same thing last night

can i do something really stupid to do with this ? lol i wanna be the stupid guy

[ylwgtr2]

hmmm this is bringing back some nasty memories....in the very early engineering days(about 10 years old i think)i built a down hillcart setup for drifting with big rollerbearings for rear wheels...now on the tarmac this thing drifted like a muther ****er!!!I lost control of it at high speed done a 720 spin and hit a gutter at highpoint shopping center.....then i proceeded to roll the ****er....it broke the front steering head off and i had gravel rash...that was the end of the drifter

[R31Nismoid]

They boys at work were just talking about this and taking the p*ss outta me

anyone guess why?

Because my car has no motor... so it kinda counts as a billy cart as we have to push it Fred Flintstone style

I'd be up for this. I reckon it'd be hella-stupid fun

TEAM SAU - Bille Division (take that as you will)

LOL! Lets get organised!

[DJ_L3ThAL]

[GTRgeoff]

Count me in if this gets off the ground. SAU Race team engineer will look great on the resume.

[Jamezilla]

This would be awesome!

Let's do it

[Horus]

thats ccol

Im down

[funkymonkey]

i've built a billy kart from my childhood bicycle and my old babyseat stripped down to plastic... unfortunately the metal wire that I used with the steering wheel always snapped and I always ended up eating grass.

I remember the old days of billycarting down highpoint s/c

cant really do it now though...

gee that was a long time ago, my dad and his mate built a go-cart a while back...[long story]

[Silver-Arrowz]

I volunteer to be the team panel beater. Give me a hammer and 2 mins and it'll be brand spanking new! I'll throw in a few stickers to make it faster!

[DJ_L3ThAL]

i used to have one of those super dodgy wodden ones with rope to turn the front wheels, snapped it in half at this MASSIVE hill near my house, hit someone's letters box but luckily i jumped off just before it hit LOL

[xRHETTx]

Im in!!

I remember at my mates farm we'd hook up his billycart (which was a gokart with no engine) to the back of his dads 4WD with a towrope. Anf then drive around the paddocks drifting the billycart with the car going 50km.

It was awesome until my mate got so sideways he got infront of the car backwards and the rope went slack. And then the car took up the slack and flipped the billy cart. The tow rope came off and the metal tow hook flicked up and smashed the windscreen. And my mate broke his arm.

But it was so much fun...

Should make a drift beast - put rubber tyres up front and plastic wheels on the back.

[doxximus]

im gonna try design something
