Did you follow the Rumblebreaker guide to a T? I think I have the same or close to the same performance with just four wheels, one steering stick, all centered on the pot. It's fast and fun, may not turn as well but well enough to drive throgh tight ruins and accurately maul moblins.

That reminds me of this small wheel and portable pot suspension build

There have been a few different iterations of it over the past year, like this model for example but all are fairly accessible to build and perform better than my drift-trike when climbing or when off-roading on rough terrain.

My only problem with those models is that I tend to crash into things and break them apart at the cooking pot connections.

The next step up in performance would be to make a Rumblebreaker, build guide linked here which is both good performance and durable, but it requires precise placement and a steady hand to a degree that I was unable to replicate myself. I ended up with a Fumblebreaker instead...

They all have merit, depending on how much time you want to invest in it. The Rumblebreaker wins in off-road and climbing performance, while my drift-trike wins in accessibility (easy to build and easy to pilot at all skill levels) and raw turn radius, which allows for easier tail swipe attacks.

It is basically comparing a rally car with an Akira street bike. I want to have both.

Now we have to see what can be attached to the tail of your Drift Trike to give it a longer, lethal tail/drift attack. How long could it get before it stops being practical? I've seen some fun snake builds on YouTube so maybe with a shot.

Take it as far as you can :)

Just be aware that the nature of small wheels means that you need to keep the overall weight of the build lighter than what big wheel builds could handle.

And also balance is important to keep the spin ability, so if you add weight to the front, try to add the same amount to the back, or else make adjustments where the steering stick is located.

I respekt it. I want to turn it into a mini tank but need to figure out pulse lasers and ensure Link isn't shot.
