Hay Guys...thanks for the good comments

Engine is 6.5hp petrol (ebay) 72/12 gearing, which gives aprox 30mph top end, sproket gizmo on the side of the engine is a touq convertor, sort of a step-down auto gear box, gives a deep down pull to get you up and riding, then steps up to give you topend speed..frame was cut and welded with mig welder (1.5" box section).. spool is 12" ally discs with 7" internal dia, holds at the moment aprox 700 ft of line, line is 6mm dyneema (about 1200ft braking)...but could mod up to 1000 ft by larger spool....

Will post some funky vids up as soon as... ...going to build a kicker and hook it up, then rip it!!

Anybody fancy a self build?....there you go, just to get you started in the right direction, any questions or help needed, ask away!!
