Do you have a reverse gear on that bad boy. We built a custom buggy but we need to figure out a reverse gear. Can you help us?

[Midwestfabrication]

@01jeepgc try a starter from a car and have a large gear water jet cut out that can bolt to your drive line

[Midwestfabrication]

I wish I had the time... there are guys on ebay selling chassis check them out and on mini bggy.net some as low as $800.00

hey im building a buggy simular to that one and im just kinda stumped on axles was gonna go with 930 cvs but i like your set up way better just wondering what kind of axles those are and if you designed your suspension yourself

[Midwestfabrication]

I used a 14 series u joint and slip yoke for the drive shafts. they use a 1 3/8" shafting. I had to drill and tap 5 more set screw to ensure they would not move on wheel stub shafts. I have had good luck with them they only cost around 300 for the whole set up.compared to 1500+ for 930 CV's most farm stores have them in stock.

Ya I will post the link

Did you make any plans or parts list for this that a person could use to build their own?

How long was the build

[hitmanskilz]

the suspension travel looks pathetic, looks like you would fuck your shit up if you go on any jumps higher than like 3 feet dude

GREAT job.

@gavenschwarze1 toyota car axles are pretty the standard for this sort of thing. Much less weight than the driveshaft setup seen on this car, and MUCH better angle out of the cv's single ujoint setup is not at all ideal, and you dont get much angle out of before they bind. 930's are the way too go, but pricey esp once u get into hubs and stuff. Just take the rear end out of a old supra. diff, cv axles, hubs everything you need right there. extend the axles with tubing.

@01jeepgc if you dont want to spend a butt ton of money on a reversing gear box {quaife etc} get the primary chain reversing setup off a snow mobile. easy peasy! cheap too. Just need to do a little mods, nothing big.

Hi, i knw this has probably been asked, but what shocks did you use? also, what kinda of material is the body made from? Steel? Aluminum? I know its pipe but whats the type or pipe? ID, OD? I am looking for an engine this weekend to start my project soon.

[baconator127]

Can you please tell me what shocks you used? I want to build a similar buggy but need to figure that

[MegaAtvlover]

how much did it cost?
