The topic starter - he only has 3 posts, which IIRC means you can't get into Gen D. meh it's hardly the end of the world.

ok a weedwhacker runs at like a million rpm, but all it does is spin a piece of string, or at most a saw blade, around.



there's no weight, if you put any real resistance against it it stops instantly.



they arent strong motors, there only job is to spin fast so they have no real power just speed, im thinking you could probably prevent a weedwhacker from spinning with your hand if you could grab it, plus those things are carbed, how you gonna get a carb to work right on rollerblades? unless you use an electric one but....



whatever, i dont even care, it wont work. and no i didnt read the topic.

I think a skate board would work better. Put a fifth wheel sticking out the back just to push it.



I'd use a chainsaw though and just modify the sprocket to put a bicycle chain on it.

I thought I saw this on mythbusters or something. The preferred method was to put the motor on some sort of backpack, and use a flexible cable-drive thingy (not sure what it's called, like in the dremel flexi-arm thing) down to the roller blades or skateboard. This way you could use any motor you could carry on your back.
