Ok so I bought this like axle with bearing mounts (one bearing bad woop dee doo). Anyways 10" diameter tires with a sprocket attatched. Way I see things I'm a 20" donor bicycle away from being able to make this. Using the headset and forks off the bicycle. I already have the engine sitting around. What would you do with this if you had it?

What is that axle from? It certainly is pretty darn chunky looking. What is the track measurement? - The lack of a diff could be a problem for road use, but otherwise using it as the basis for a Briggs powered trike would certainly make for a fun build.
 
Hmmm, this video looks like something I am very tempted to make a five hp version of. Now these guys have wheels made specifically for drifting so they have little grip. My wheels are rubber and will grip, I however do not intend to drift. Just get around from A to B in my neighborhood.

Jared:

I run a solid axle from a Polaris quad in the back end of my trike

It corners better than I thought it would. Of course I have a fairly low CG.
