top class build man. one of the best on youtube.

[fatmanbitches]

where did you get the breaks hubs shocks and things like that from?

[jeepander]

iv whanted to buld something like this for a long time but my dad wont let me cuz he thinks its to much money but i have a job that can pay for it and plus i would have to build the holl thing pritty much by my self cuz hes all most never home wich sucks

but the buggy looks kool and i bet took qouit a bit of efert to bild

[glassglowz]

The only real problem with my swing arm setup is whenever I hit some big bumps, the carb gets flooded for a second and almost stalls the engine. I don't get any inside wheel lift with my setup.

[butane8]

nice build mate... ive put my donk on a swing arm too, curious if you have any in sight into the solid axle and swingarm setup. any bad points? from watching all your vid's seems pretty flat when cornering? do you get inside wheel lift or does the live axle keep it rigid?check mine out Buggy VF750, later butane8

[pedrofile91]

how much did it cost to make ??

[glassglowz]

Around $4 to $5 thousand Canadian.

[shotgun8left]

cool buggy looks like it was a hell of a lot of work!

[glassglowz]

It sure was! I'm just putting the finishing touches on it now... fresh paint, cleaning up the wires, side panels, etc. Its been about a year and a half so far. I'm anxious to get this project finished.

[glassglowz]

It's 8.5 inch and I found it on eBay.

[lorddelapepsi]

how fast can it go??

[glassglowz]

Top speed is 85 KM/H.

[lorddelapepsi]

ive wanted to do something like this for so long

[glassglowz]

Top speed last summer was 85 KM/H. I'm shooting for 90 KM/H. Would like to hit 100 at some point... would probably need different gears.

[glassglowz]

Thanks. Top speed was 85 KM/H. I think it will go faster this year with my new tires. I'm 26

[ryno490]

nice work dude

[htmlvisions]

What a great build!

[HondaOdysseyGuy]

Tat is pretty sweet buggy great job. I was just wondering if you mounted the motor on the swingarm or the frame and if you did mount it on the swingarm how did you hook up the shifter.

[glassglowz]

Yes I did mount the motor on the swingarm. I used a push pull cable to hook up my shifter.

[HondaOdysseyGuy]

You have a very cool buggy ther keep up the god work and thanks alot i was just wondering for my project.

[gumpdy]

Nice work, but remove those fake shocks up front and get something with rear damping. Look for a pair of good banshee shocks on ebay

[dan3sam]

I watched your build on the forum you should be proud of what you achieved so when you starting a cuda?

[glassglowz]

Thanks! I am very proud! I was thinking about a Piranha next... I think I cuda is a little out of my skill and price range right now.

[nbkmg3m]

Very cool man. Great job. It looks like a hell of a lot of fun.

[ALake2244]
