Last weekend on Gearz w/Stacey David, he put one of those together and drove it. Pretty cool, even did a wheelie with it. Sure beats a Briggs & Stratton.

I don't know if you watched the video, but I was just waiting for him to stuff it into one of those parked cars. I guess I have been watching too many youtube videos.

That's what I was trying to see. I see the chain drive, but what clutches the motor? A giant go-kart centrifical clutch?

Uses a trans from a riding lawn mower. Static drive, or fluid driven? Something like that

Those can barely handle the power of the 12hp Brigs & Straton engine & they are using it on a V8? wow. Originally Posted by GBodyGMachine

I read it is a hyrdostatic transmission, not sure what one exactly.
Seems to be hydraulic of some sort. It would be fun to build one, and I can figure everything out but any trans I think of would be too large.
Hydraulic pump with hydraulic motors on axle might be way to go, not sure on speed control and how that works.Jeff

Mine is not quite so crazy-motorized wagon
I built this on a much lower budget and it is lots of fun to run at car shows or in parades, plans are to build a few more and add a killer paint job.

Talk about expensive. I'd rather have a shifter cart or an LSx motor for one of my cars for that price.

They use some type of John Deere hydrostat trans. They only get up to about 30 mph which is pretty fast on a bar stool I guess. They are made by the Boss Hoss motorcycle guys.
