Finishing up with the controls and then test riding the variable traction drift trike build.
This is a variable traction drift trike that is able to vary the weight of the trike between rubber and plastic wheels with a control lever. I call it the Grip-n-slide.
For 3d CAD files of this trike you can download them at

This is literally the most over engineered piece of badass driftory I've ever seen. GG man, this thing is rad AF.
Someone spent some time in engineering school - the concepts are excellent and your designs on the extensions look like artwork to me 👍🏼
Dude what the hell?!?! This is the single most technical and intense build on youtube!!!! Was variable traction even a thing until now?#?! Has anybody ever done anything like this before?!?!,!,!
I have never seen it done before, I think this is the first one. I hope this build will spark interest in variable traction and other people will try some builds using the concept. It will be interesting to see what other people come up with.
Imagine A World I've had a thought or two come up about it... But I've never had the tools, skills or knowledge on anything related to actually planning or building it. It's so good what this guy has done tho, when I read the title I was like "get the fuck outta here!". So excited!
All I got to say is dam !!!!!! That has got to be one of the most incrediblely enignierred drift trike I ever seen
Lonnie hand agreed!
And your spelling is the most awesome
Lonnie hand I was going to comment but you said it brother BADASS for sure !!
Timothy Picciuolo why because you couldn’t build it
Literally was watching on TV and opened phone to comment. You deserve more exposure so here's 2 comments:)
One of the coolest things I've seen ever. An inspiration!
This is the best designed drift cart hands down
Amazing to be able to multi function like that My hat 🎩 is off to ya💪🏾
Someone give this guy a BEER!
What a great machine u've built dude!! I woul'd love to get one of that. Too complicated to build without much experience. Well done!
You sir, win the internet this year. Take my money.
This is the most incredible motorized drift trike I have ever seen and I want one
Beautiful craftsmanship on that trike.
underrated channel!
That thing is what I always imagined my old plastic ass Big Wheel was when I rode it up and down grandmas driveway as a young lad. Outstanding build sir, !👏! I can only hope for a fraction of such success on my upcoming project. I been wanting to do either a drift trike or a cross kart type thing. Though If I had the proper tools, materials, and facilities, I would very much love to build a kart sized replica of a D1 formula drift car. Something close to about 1/2 scale or 1/3 scale would be super nice...
So amazing, I’m blown away!
Liked your design and the way you did the linkages
best trike build i have ever seen very well done
First off WOW. I have to admit I didn't fully appreciate what you meant by variable traction or the benefits it provides but having watched your videos several times i'm sold. Your corner entry speed and exit speeds are unsurpassed and the drift on demand stick is genius although I would probably prefer a foot control. I'm currently in the process of building a "standard" electric trike which I think ill continue with but now you've got me thinking of a mk 2 already. Very well done, I hope in time to do my own interpretation.
Damn it man, that 360 though! Nice set up much different then others ive seen
All I can say is your driving skill is amazing
Sick fabrication work man
Wow that is cool. Nice concept. Love the shifter.
Sick work Cameron
Yeah by far one of the best built and coolest things on here!!!!
Twist throttle, variable tires on right foot, and paddle shifters! and GO! - haha nice work man.. looks fun
Man what an amazing idea you have come up with! I hope it gains traction!! 😎
Very nice shots dude. Most people give one angle of riding but amazing job with the different povs
This has to be one of, if not THE MOST, amazing thing I've ever seen someone MAKE! DAMMIT MAN! I hope you work for NASA or some shit!
Wtf? engineer gone mental, love this thing!!!! Why because drift trike....absolutly crazy!!!
You do some great stuff and that’s pretty good riding for 20 min seat time. I’m going to follow
Truly amazing! You know they make a single brake lever that operates two cables. They're mainly used on motorized bicycles. ✌️🍻
wow, This is insanely awesome. Great build man, amazing concept on the mechanics and design, awesome skill on this little monster. Keep that fire burning Sir.
I dont mean to be so offtopic but does someone know of a tool to log back into an Instagram account..? I was dumb lost the login password. I appreciate any tips you can give me!
@Josue Draven Instablaster ;)
Nicely done mate!
Brilliant idea. Love it
Engineering is amazing. Ride looks bad ass. Good job sir.
Awesome job, great video.
Great Job! Hope you do more like it in the future.
Wow your drift trike is no joke, very very cool
Sweet build bro.
You should name it "the smile maker".....damn fine work sir
WOW! That's all I will say. Can't wait for the frame kit to be out.
Awesome work!
Masterpiece, sir!
Amazing work hats off to you sir
Dude I got mind blown. Didn't see your channel yet so don't understand at all how it works but... IT WORKS! Suscribed! Sick gear shifter BTW!
like how you machined the parts. nice build. from another builder
AWESOME build also!!!
Very impressive shifter idea is great
That's an impressive project!! Awesome. I have cero experience in drift trikes myself but maybe it would be easier to control the trike with a CVT engine and an electronic actuator (controlled with the left foot) to lift the rubber tires. Keep it on!! Looks so much fun!
That is badass man!!
That thing is fucking awesome. Get ready for the orders to start pouring in. Good luck with your next build
speechless........very nice job I LOVE IT!! What kinda money do you have in parts and material?
awesome mate well done
This is pure badassness!!!
Engineering marvelous well thought through trike engineering something I would like to see in professional racing. My current build is 196cc 15 hp motoriced fat bike but this trike takes the cake.
Wow really nice set up . Does not look easy to ride ? But with time u can shed with the best of em . I seen ya first vid on this and seen 4 wheels was wondering why but makes sense now and makes a great way to really control ya slide.
I would surely buy it, awesome....truly awesome.
That entry speed though👌
Pretty ingenious
There's awhole lot going on here! Killer job!
Yep, you're nuckin futs.😂😂😂 Amazing build
Great job
That thing is so badass
Amazing. Dangerous, but amazing.
Things things dope 🔥🔥
Damn...sir you a legend...
bro u r superb bike is incredible
looks like one of those projects that runs away and gets way over-engineered but this thing works great. I imagine the foot controls aren't ideal because you're transfering so much weight to your heels. can you put make a twist throttle on the slide lever handle?
That's awesome!!!
You have made all of that work i have made a gokart but an easy one 125cc shifter, u can make the gaz at the wheel and the shifting for +in the right foot and shifting for - in the left it would be more easy to ride drift and comfortable, nice job anyway.
So cool!
freaking awesome!!!
this things so dope
Hey how much would it cost if somebody asks you to build and change the kickstart for the electric start also the clutch for the automatic
Best! Drift! Trike! EVER!
Beautiful 😍😍😍😍
dam that thing is badass
I'm 70 years I'd like to try it I think it's cool
I mad one but not near that caliber. By how you built that, I’d say you have to be an engineer. Pretty dope
Just great!!
OMG that thing is insane, I Luv it, look at it Go...
wow very cool!!!
How much for you to build me one your is the best I have seen on in internet so awesome
That is one of if not the best build I have ever seen on a Drift Trike. Please keep up the good work and I really hope that can be out to the public someday if it is not already. If so where can you get the variable traction setup at?
Awesome🤯
great man
Awesome 👏 that’s bad ass
Make it paddle shift and the grip control leg activated, that thing is awesome
Wow! Just wow! 👍👍
Dual tires without the cringy pvc covers...AWESOME!!🤙🏾🤟🏾👍🏾
Wow,Damn it...How you build it??
Looks like shit ton of fun
perfect !
Build some more..so you can sell it in..i would like to buy it.. Greet from malaysia..
Killed it
Have to take a class to ride it!!
Hey man sweet ride I do got a question tho would you build one of those for someone if they paid you to do it
you can email me at info@grip-n-slide.com
bravissimo veramente bello🖒🖒
If you had a sweet easy clutch/brake lever combo, foot shift lever, a twist throttle and maybe foot lever for traction I bet it would be way easier to ride.
