    And I'm obviously no expert on drag racing, or the physics involved, but when a powerful, rwd car takes accelerates quickly, does not the front end rise off the ground?



    Again, I'm not trying to be an ass, I'm just curious. I've driven fast quads before, and due to my ignorance, they have nearly tipped due to me giving them too much gas.
    yeah but look at the tires of this red stang in comparison to the quad, also consider that this quad is extremely front heavy looking. I think you wouldn't have the traction to flip backwards, maybe VERY light steering and hard to controllness, but I don't think it'd flip itself over, just melt the tires, which are probably not something like 315s for that very reason.

    Now the lack of a seatback, is something I hadn'tthought of that was brought up in this thread.That would suck to have to hold yourself up while going to 120 in 6 seconds.

    ^^ Yeah, I drew a frame of a man running on each fan blade. That is him running at idle

    If this thing comes with seat-belts then that would be a truly scary ride. Just imagine going the same 120 in 6 seconds and then you loose control while your strapped down to the Quad.........well you get the idea.

    The last thing you want is to be strapped down, that's why Motorcycles don't have them.

    And I don't see neither of the 3 quads lifting the front on the street with those tires.
    EK needs a new tune? baby needs more boost so a good tuner is needed....anyone?
