I got into work late because I was so excited about this video and had to get'r done.

Watch it WITH sound for best results:

2018 Koni Power Wheels Downhill Attack presented by Red Line Oil


Remember, when you go to Hyperfest, don't forget to bring your toys.

Man I feel bad taking the faster pink/blue one now! Thanks again for the wheels!

Wish my video came out better, I unwittingly had my GoPro pointed pretty much straight down. sad

Found a Corvette C5-R Power Wheels for sale locally for cheap. GRM might bring some next year.

In reply to Ed Higginbotham :

You can put an appeal for free ones out on Nextdoor.com or freecycle. Ask if people want to be rid of their old toys taking up space in the shed. Turns out they do.

But yeah, it's now proven that the sports cars with the narrow wheels seem to roll best, and beggars can't be choosers. So snag that Vette!

Time to find a hill nearby, and unleash the “inner takumi”

Power wheels racing

There is a local team in town I was helping until my shoulder exploded.

They now have a tube frame built, and the body will be AE86 inspired.

We are trying to figure out a way to rig up a thing to the throttle that will play BOV noises over a little speaker.

It’s silly fun!

I like that Koni and Redline oil both have their names associated with a race on toy cars that have neither suspension or use motor oil.

The control boards on the C5R vettes go bad all the time.  Easy enough to find. Plus, they have rims and a wing and an LS engine that can be flipped after the fact for decent money.
