Default Re: wanting to build a mini buggy

You need to figure out what powerplant you are gonna use then build around it.

A good way to build is to find your powerplant and the wheels. Build IN from the wheels around the powerplant. The suspension geometry has to be good. Get the balance where you want it with the motor then make the frame connect the points. You need a good understanding of frame design and whats done and why. If not and your frame folds up and hurts or kills you I don't need to tell you thats not worth it.
