This is a very old project I have decided to blow the dust off and continue working on.

So you can get an idea how old this is this originally started as space marine bikes back before there was such a thing as Scout bikes and real world quad bikes.

The conversion itself is based off of a standard SM bike going forward I may switch to scout bikes but since all of my scouts came with these bike I going to stay with them.

Version 1 was made by removing the bottom exhaust off the bike attaching a sheet of plastic and a box from an oop rhino and then attaching an oop whirlwind missile launcher arm as the back axle





Version two uses the same material but I removed both exhaust. This one will require me to make new exhaust out of plastic tubing and having them come out the back.





Please have a look I am looking for some feedback on how to continue or improve on it. Such as should I keep them as trikes or switch to quads.

These are extremely wip as they are being help together with blutac and lots of finishing work need to be completed.

Thanks,

Mond

I like them both - the back 'suspension' really adds a lot, and gives them a different look to the numerous trike/quad conversions out there. The second one's raised back looks a wee bit goofy unless you can somehow raise the front as well, but offhand I can't think of any easy way to do so.

The only downside is that those OOP Whirlwind bits will be very hard to get more of - unless you only want to build a couple of bikes, of course.

easy way to raise the front. cut the 2 down tubes between the front fender and the bottom of the triple trees. use some plastic rod the same diameter as down tubes. you can lengthen it and make it look like a trike chopper
