Ever Seen a Power Wheel do 12 MPH?

[Jolly Roger]

That is awesome!

 

[El Cid]

Yeah, that's awsome. Reminds me of my dad destroying big wheels a radio flyers in order to construct the ultimate snow wagon!

If those floppy coverings get worn you could always try wagon wheels in the front and wheelbarrow wheels in the back. You know kind of like a kid's funny car edition.

Nitrous baby!

Okay, new update in the performance of the power wheel. I now have new tires, real pneumatic rubber, and a "NOS" switch. The video for this explains it best, but its basically a 6V power boost on demand. That baby is SWEEEEET now!


Joel's Super F-150

Enjoy!

AWSOME!!! Simply awsome... so, have you clocked its top speed?

 

[Slammer2]

that is freaking sweet!! I think the coolest thing my dad ever did was throw a baseball at me really hard a couple of times when I was 8.

 

[jg5343]

I think the best it ever did was 13.2mph but will sustain 11-12mph after the initial charge has worn off the batteries. He is afraid still to go full speed all the time, and always lets off the gas. I don't blame him, though, he's only 3.

 

[El Cid]

That's wicked! I mean serioulsy f*uck'n awsome!!! Dad of the year award goes to... jg5343!

BTW:what community are you in?

 

[jg5343]

Was diving community, soon to be SNA.

 

[GVSURob]

Just wait til he turns 16...
Officer: "son where'd you learn how to do that??"
Joel:"...oh about 13 years ago my dad showed me"

 

[El Cid]

I knew it! Had to be a diver puff! Seriously though, why do you want to switch? Had enough down time and figured you give it a go in the air? Sounds like you're going to have some cool stories to share with kids and grandkids!!!

As an officer you don't get to dive nearly as much. You become an administrator mostly. I love diving, but hate being on the sidelines. Plus flying is awesome too. So why not.

Exactly... I'm trying to go pilot because it is about 1,000,000 times better than being a Nuke! Remember those guys from class that would raise their hand at every question the teacher asked then gave about 200% more information than the teacher asked for? Yeah, that's like 80% of Nukes!!! :shake_125 It's enough to drive you crazy!!!!!!
