Still a long way to go before I can run a race but here are two videos of the initial road test. Still no exhaust system and the fuel is coming from a small bottle right now. On the test run, I also only had the linkage adjusted for the outside tiller arms which control the brakes. The steering linkage was hooked up but not adjusted at the time so turns in the videos will probably look rough.

First one is backing up hill on my driveway past my truck which probably wasn't one of my smarter moves. Had no issues but probably should have moved the truck out of the way in case the vehicle spun on the concrete.

Backing Out

Second video is coming down the street in first and second gears. Accelerator linkage needed to be adjusted to get more power which I did after getting back into the garage.

First Road Test


This is a shot of the driveway I have to back out of uphill...


Made it to the top


And one while driving on the street in case anyone can't access the videos.
