Finally finished my project after 5 years

What feels like years ago I set out to break the record for fastest coin operated ride. So I built a 6x4 140hp coin operated ride. Nitrous, paddle shifters, launch control just to name a few features. It's geared to go just over 250km/h, just need a place to go real fast.

Having a 5 year project makes me feel better about this car in my driveway for 3 months. Great work!

Is it geared for that speed with the outer diameter of the tires in the equation? I'm genuinely curious. I also know those tires will tear apart before you get there but the gearing alone would be massive on the countershaft and I'd love to see it all.
MichaelCraneRacing@reddit (OP)
Yes the gearing calculation was done with the correct wheel size. The tyres are fine at that speed, plenty of superkarts running faster speeds. I've also had in on a dyno running full steam so I know it will handle it

That's fucking crazy! I didn't know they made little Z rated tires. The gearing must be interning. I love the thing.

Incredible, great job! I don’t know if I had a picture of what you’d look like in my head but you so perfectly fit the profile 😂

That thing rips. The coin operated ignition is hilarious.

This is something i’d see on marketplace, and there’s no way i wouldn’t want to look at it. What a cool project!

Please tell me that you have/are going to contact Guinness for that record. This thing is wild!
MichaelCraneRacing@reddit (OP)
That's the plan. Looking at doing the run in november
JonnyOgrodnik@reddit
Awesome! Would you be doing a quarter mile run, a runway for top speed, or just a circle track?
70elcoss@reddit
I fucking want it
bacillusasparagus@reddit
Best project ever. 😀
Unfair_Salt_9671@reddit
So how many quarters does it take to run?
MichaelCraneRacing@reddit (OP)
Just 10 cents

Why do I feel like I’ve seen that character somewhere in a cartoon as a kid… is it from a cartoon?

250kmh … insane, you’re mad.

This thing is fuckin awesome.
Organic_South8865@reddit
This is amazing. Your videos are awesome. You just need a bit of help with editing and I think you could get a lot of views. This took a lot of effort and dedication to build.
Obese_taco@reddit
what spurned you to think about building this, and what then convinced you to actually do i?

Sometimes, one just wanders a flea market and stumbles across something that makes you go "I have a really silly idea..."

shupack@reddit
Fucking fantastic.
MagicGator11@reddit
The fact it still needs a coin to work is absolutely hilarious! Great job! I'm impressed at the amount of dedication over the course of 5 years.
