[ndown15]

[iwillnottypemyname]

first impression: aww look at the little go kart, *starts it, AAAAAAAHHHHH

[joerb101]

LOL u switched the back and front tires dude

[Theman6771]

I think you put the wheels on the wrong ends... lol

[jasongiddensviper478]

Thats it?

[bakerv3]

@jasongiddensviper478 Yes, what else do you want? I've put separate onboard videos up of the thing in action etc. This was just a view from the outside.

[jasongiddensviper478]

@bakerv3 Setup a tripod so we can see it in action not just a walk around.

[1531naruto]

wow you are the best but how did you do everything ?? i mean did you did it all by your self ?

[8576688]

voce e louco !o tanque de gasolina do lado !capotou voce pega fogo junto!

[pyroballer]

you can only buy the plans unless you find some one who build one and is selling it

[SHELL5O]

i want one

[hungryforcash]

excuse me, how much are these?

also where can i get it from?

[bakerv3]

@hungryforcash

Hi.. This one cost me about £1,000 to build. You can probably find one nearby on eBay, but it's not like building it yourself. Get the plans (and even parts) from The Edge Buggies.

[eirexira]

@bakerv3 hi real cool buggy im buying the plans for the pihranna aswell just wondering were did u get the sterring from and the suspension and the 2 back drive shafts tanx

[Donone0021]

thats just cool man !!!

[darkeyce02]

wher you get the horns? they look like the ones in my truck

[rkelley94]

that thing is sick you should do some more videos

[thecardrawer10]

that thing is bad ass dude.. put bigger tires on the rear ;)

[robiztheshit]

what kind of A-arms are you using?

please respond.

[bakerv3]

Hi. They're just single A Arms, which is the same as I put on the later Sidewinder, but if I ever build anything else I'll build with double. It will just take a bit longer, but make everything work better.

[robiztheshit]

oh yeah, that would prolly be better. you should make more vids

[bakerv3]

I would finish the Sidewinder off and do some vids of that if I was able to be back home in the UK. Currently I'm working in Holland due to there being no IT work in the UK. :-(

[robiztheshit]

oh that really sucks.

i wanna make something similar to this, i have some videos of mine on here but its not as advanced. haha but im getting a welder soon so im gunna make a buggy with a motorcycle engine. :)

[lilgeezy45]

which donor vehicle did you use for your driveshafts and hubs?

[bakerv3]

The front hubs were trailer hubs (from local trailer manufacturer)

The driveshafts were bits from a Lada Niva 4x4 (inner CV Joint and Ford Sierra (Outer halfshafts). I welded them together. FYI.. You need a good 220Amp welder at least as the welds don't like 100bhp pushed through them ;-)

[lilgeezy45]

I was thinking using a complete driveshaft and hubs off a vauxhall corsa or something similiar then I wouldn't have to weld then because i dont have a that much power of a welder. would that work?

[bakerv3]

It's hard to get enough travel without the Universal Joints hitting their stops. Porsche cv joints evidentally have a good angle.

[Afallingpian0]

@bakerv3 the edge products will try to tell you that you need porshe cvs but it is easy enough to find a much much cheaper option, cuase some of us cant afford them.

[mforte4]

hi, very nice work with the buggy btw. Im really wanting to buy or make my own. Where did u get all the stuff for it from, and especially hings like the exuast system, speedo dash and suspension? cheers bud

[bakerv3]

Cheers.. Most of the bits and pieces came from either eBay, or car boot sales. The suspension came off an old Datsun I believe (front suspension struts) ;-)

[dan2col]

can you tell me if you put a diff in it

[bakerv3]

Hi, No. Because the wheels spin all the time there's no need.

[THEoDANGEROUSoMELON]

does anyone know where you can buy these, or buy the instruction build manuals (download them)?

cheers

[phillywilly92]

I just found a torrent for plans for this. Hoping its not a fake, You would normally have to pay for the plans. If you dont know how to download torrents search it on google and you will soon learn. I really want to find the plans for the st2 buggy!!

[flatlined69]

I have plans for st2 and st3 may be interested in swapping

[fischerskidude]

Just google Edge Buggies they make these they sell for about 8 grand or you can build them

[afd703]

very nice. i would just change the tires though lol.

[airsoftking19]

sounds real nice.

[villinpb]

lol nice struts on the back

[CrunchieDan]

Where from, how much?

[elliotmotocross]

holy shit what engine is that?

Get some massive rims and tyres

[icup4real]

[97demon97]

how much does it cost for all of it?

[bullstorm]

hey is that a stock muffler???

[bucz]

[KoenPEPEPE]

boerke

[immortalfabrication]

[nolanmckendry92]

good buggy. what are the back shocks from and how well do they work? i am in the middle of building one myself.

[ironmaidenrdabest]

nice an all that, but you should have saved up a bit more and got a 180hp rage

[paulmorrice]

oh yes..! and rage buggies are cheap aswell..!! spare £19,000

[gijifercus]

great job crappy tires, how fast does it go?

[theunknown2142]

What engine is that?

[taik466]

i might be making to traxll from the edge and i will be putting it on youtube

[gangsta44g]

good buggy, crappy tires!

[gmscr]

nice looking buggy ,good job.hey could you tell me were i could get the plans of one of those machines ,me and my son have been looking to build one for a while but cant get decent plans

[tonyz400]

you seriuosly need some bigger tires in the back

[bronzebro8]

holy shit nice sound

shity tires in the back

[frosty24uk]

hi wot kind ov engine are u useing in that me and my mate are building one with a cbr600 motor

[peugeotfer]

You've done a good job

[dirtdigger69]

sweet buggy sounds awesome, ive started collecting parts for one and was wondering if you would email the plans to me? thanks

[bakerv3]

The Edge have been very helpful to me. I would not spread their plans around. If you can't afford the cheap plans, then you definately can't afford to build one!!

[dirtdigger69]

I have been emailing the edge and they are very helpful but im on a small budget and if i can bet the plans or anything for the buggy for free then its a plus thanks for the fast response and hopefully youll beable to see videos of my first build in a few months

[ResidentPhysco]

what ur implying is getting a copy of the plans illegally

[lilgeezy45]

Have you still got your plans could you send them to me plz

[farmboy146]

just a question,My brother and I are going to make a buggy similar in size. About how much did the raw materials cost( metal for, the frame suspension seat and all.)

[bakerv3]

The main frame cost about £150. Seat was about £100, suspension was off an old car etc. All in the buggy cost about £1500 to build. Engine was cheap though (£100)

[xl177]

did you buy this as a kit?

[bakerv3]

Hi, No, I just bought the plans and made it up from raw steel and various parts.

[xl177]

You've done a good job.

[sebsebsebbernier]

watch?v=nwO7IccH7-k

[HyperG36]

why does'nt the fan of the watercooling start?

[bakerv3]

It's controlled by a thermostat, so it only cuts in when the rad gets to about 90 deg Centigrade. (as per the standard Kawasaki ZX6-R)

[HyperG36]

Nice, mine starts automaticly when you turn the key.

[Chiarboss]

XD

really nice

[gixer24]

how much did it cost you all up? howd you get the exhaust to sit that way, im building one atm and want some details

[bodompure]

back tires look gay, why dont you put the fronts on the back

[bakerv3]

'Coz they would have shredded themselves to bits. The ones on the front were old and cracked. PLUS they were a different hole pattern. I couldn't justify spending £250 on decent wheels. The new bugy I'm building does have proper "Front Max" and "Bearclaws". That looks cool...

[amrishz]

What way did yoy work the drive shafts cause i have bilt one and the drives are pto shafts and they are breaking with me.what part of the world are you from?

[amrishz]

Thanks for that what part of the world are you from?

[bakerv3]

About 80 miles North of London in the UK.

[amrishz]

your not so far away just as i thought i can hear radio one in the back ground i am from northern ireland.i have just orderd a pair of drives from edge products its costing me 275 pounds i didnt want two have two do that but it less borther for me

[avison69]

sounds nice,,

[jonesy19841984]

[Dawnmarie708]

[jonesy19841984]

[amrishz]
