3 wheeler project

Has anyone on here ever thought of building a 3 wheel locost?
Seen a car from the states called the t-rex which uses a zx12r engine and has one large wheel on the back



This thing handles really well, it can pull 2 lateral G's

A mate and I were thinkin of a new project like this, but built from scratch. Wat are your thoughts on something like this?

Cheers

Sorry for the mix up

Do you know wat wheel it uses? I'm guessin its a chopper wheel but not sure.
I am really tempted by one of these, when it gets closer to build time if you could get some details it wud be great.

the company that copy it is finally back in business.
G2

the rear wheel is suposed to be a custom one. it have 5x100 front hub on custom billet 2 parts uprights... the hubs have a plus for a sensor in the middle in the back... but i dont know where they are from. the g2 use a single shock in the rear ant the original t rex use one on each side.
