Does 60 Mph.
Might chew tires up ferociously, unless they're custom jobs.
Braking, hmm.
Wonder if it's got custom stoppage ability?
(I didn't notice any brakes mentioned.. 'course I didn't look specifically for that info.)

Brakes? Just bolt on a couple three foot long metal bars, one on each side with a single bolt strategically placed in the center of each, and watch the sparks fly. Helmet and saftey belts are a must though. Maybe even a roll cage. LOL
To: Jim Robinson
LOL!
Would have to get pics of the sparks and such for posterity.
Chro-moly tubing roll cage, and five point safety harness.
Hmm.
That would be really cool to see.
It'd probably do well with some slightly larger tires with better tread and grip.
(Where's our forum car enthusiasts to help give ideas for this?)

Sounds like a job for MeekOneGOP. He designed our last custom rig, the bulletproof FReepmobile:

I especially like the little steering wheel there.

Meeks, your job in the vein of the FReepmobile: Mod out the jetchair mentioned in above article.

Honestly, I have zero talent with photoshop.
*chuckle*
So photoshopping stuff really is the arena of others.
(I'm merely weird, with odd inspiration for poems and sketches..)
I'm looking forward to see what comes from this thread.

Brembros are extremely tough extremely expensive brakes used in expensive high performance cars.
(Hear tell their brake discs glow red when stopping a fast car.)
Thy have excellent stopping grip and dissipate heat really well.
But, of course, the price is astronomical.

Ah, I see now.But, of course, the price is astronomical.
But, of course !
I won't concern myself with such trivialities as brakes. I just gotta get
the wheels turning. Stopping? That's someone else's job! LOL! :^D
