ive quit selling used post holes by the truckload cause charlie has cut my price !

Did anybody get any ChainDrive pics at the Hillclimb?

Not sure on the Dyno but someone here probibly is. I believe your top end dyno #'s come from top gear or drive in auto at wide open throttle. Well based on that it would be way off on anything with gear reduction without something being changed to recalibrate for the reduction. Put a 4x4 truck on one in 4wheel low and I'll bet it drops like crazy.

Usually you pick up with an inductive lead though, otherwise they can be miles out.

Does anyone know what type trans Kevin Thomas runs?

Automatic bus. Built by Mr Burns.

Unreal!!! I've stood at the top of this hill and I was nervous I was gonna slip and fall to the bottom. Scary that anything would climb this. Man I gotta have one!

I said if folks drove one they'd have one Now like everything else you got the good with the bad.They are some that won't get out of there own way but for the most they are awesome. The thing that sold me was the durability

i was there when kevin climbed that MOUNTAIN in the second video..see how small kevin f's 2seater looks at the bottom i have rode past that bluff for over 10 years and never thought that anything would ever attempt it..much less climb it one of the baddest hills ive ever seen and kevin leveled it

Well lookie what I found, a thread about "CHAINDRIVES"!

Hello gents, I reside just outside Louisville Ky, and believe it or not there is 3 CD's in my hood and 2 in a 50 mile radius, and I know of 1 more about 200mi from me. All but one, was copied from Bernard Burns original design, with his permission. They were all except 2 built right here near me. The other 2 was built by Burns Bros. before Dennis, Bernard's bro passed. They both belonged to me. I was the first to bring a CD to KY. I'm the only one to my knowledge that Mr. Burns gave the rights to copy his designs and improvements to these innovative offroad machines. We did not build to sell, we built to ride! This was the reason I got the rights! There have not been any built for a few years now, mainly due to cost. We use a local machine shop that has most of the parts & pcs programed in their CNC. That would include the full floater rear axle assembly, bearing housings, engine adapt., & many more parts. It would take a few weeks to get a quote together to build a chassis, but if there is some interest to build 2, I'll see what I can do. "There is no one in KY that knows more about the original design than me"!

I'm not sure I can post pic, but youtube kychaindrive to see some old vids.

I haven't been on this forum for a couple yrs, but I'll check back.

The first CD I finished in 1996-2007








I acquired this in 2010

You Have My Attention!!!!!!!!

I just got a big woody

Any one can build what they want... You just may need some inside intell to help out, i think if some one is giving the intell they are "giving permission."

You can attempt to build anything you want. I just happen to have the low down on the tried and trued design that the Burn's Bros spent many years improving upon.

Rockrocket correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure a fellow by the name of Terry, located in Ga, was the first to do a spin off of the Burns design, which looked similar to Rockrockets.

I need some axles I will go direct to the machine shop or go through you it doesn,t matter give me a call 931-628-6943

We use bus axels

Actually mine was built befor Terry built his. Mine was the oldest non Burns buggy built.A lot of people have asked me to build them one but Mr burns and Curt are two folks I have nothing but the up most respect for so I never built one for sale to the public.I'll do nothing to get in the pocket of mr burns he is a close friend! But I don't know if mr Burns is gonna build anymore.

Do any of you CD guys know where any are for sell?? Like a good water cooled efi or propain that is durable and climbs well.. not junk

Call Mr Burns he has a single seater for sale I think.V6 turbo. It's the one Firebug drove at Wilborns.Then all you need to be a bigdog is a big ass pair of lug nuts
