Well, Dustin, you soon will make modifications and improvements that will definatley make the car "your own". That's as it should be. I was tired of work on it...
Alex, Well you certainly are right - your Vortex is quickly transforming into Dustin's vision. We did some work on it again this weekend as Dustin wanted to...
Well, you guys are certainly getting 'into' it, aren't you. Glad that the 'Green Machine' is going to get all these improvements. Moreover, glad that it is...
Hi all, I started this project with the objective to build something that I haven't seen before. I acquired a T-bucket frame and body to give my project a...
Frank, I learned this week end that vehicles in California with three or more wheels must have fenders. I have never been able to open the group pages so I...
I just wrote to fiberfab and got a reply...He said the SCARAB molds were destroyed before they acquired the other molds,BUT they are developing a new 3 wheeler...
Im getting ready to purchase a set of vortex plans. Before i do is there by any chance a set that maybe someone isnt using and wants to get rid of? The...
Joe, I am currently building a Vortex and went with the Triumph front end but there is no reason that you could not use something else such as a Mustang II or...
I agree with Jerry: the Trimuter is somewhat unsafe. That rear swing axle, coupled to its high center of gravity, does not help the vehicle. The coolness of...
I've just seen the new Scorpion photos... WOW!!! that vehicle looks totally insane in black! I can imagine the kind of looks that Scorpion is going to get once...
Going to try to make a go at it have ordered the plans they should be here by Friday. I have a few buddies saying they are sure they can make a better ...
If I remember correctly; there are several pictures of a 2r1f, 3 wheeler, with a front wheel drive unit, mounted in the back, in a tube frame, somewhere in the...
Dear Robin, I think it was a great suggestion. There are many VW front ends out there
that would benefit from the 4" drop. The Fiberfab Scarab kit car and the...
I saw in the Misc. collection of pictures that someone built the electric version of the vortex. Are there any stats on this version that anyone knows of?...
... Though I must admit I like the idea of just ... all ... I have seen several posts reguarding the use of a motorcycle swing arm and never did I notice this...
... The Electric Vortex was a modification that the designer Steve Pombo, made of the original Vortex. There is some minor confusion as to the total number of...
I agree with you Michael, that the motorcycle frame method is quicker and
easier, like the dark side of the force! Just kidding. Both the Tri-magnum
and the...
It is easy to say how easy it is to use a prebuilt motor system and a prebuilt front end too. Trust me, I am installing the 3rd bike in my car and it has been...
Michael, In my opinion the rear swing arm, subframe and motor mounts actually were relatively easy to fabricate for my Vortex that I am building. I do have a...
Shep is where I got the idea of using the whole motorcycle chasis and such. I have actually read you're entire log Daniel. I was just thinking of electric...
I am not sure but I think Chevrolet used ball races in front wheels into the 50's. They also did not use pressure lubrication in engines for a long time. I...
Dean, From what I have seen on Alex's Vortex and mine the real problem is in keeping the rear seals in the axle tube. When we tied his to the flat bed trailer...
I noticed this group in looking thru sites about EVs. It's called GRAVITIC_SOLUTIONS and is about "Vortex Implosion based Propulsion systems. It's over the...
After doing a search on GRAVITIC SOLUTIONS and reading about it. I think we will need Scottie, Jordii, or maybe Mr. Spoc, to explain it, to us. :-) "Robin H...

I can vouch for that. I have to replace them! I am planning on cotter pinning them or some such. Actually, we were luck it happened, otherwise I doubt we...
