I would like to open a thread but I could only able to work for 2 days for 1 month because of my work schedule. So if Daniel let me I would like to write my questions here.
My question is in fact related with others projects also. Did any one put a R1100GS engine it its buggy? I think it is oil cooled engine and I am concerning if it is enough in low speed off-road conditions.
By the way I make the bottom chassis with 40x40x4 mm. hollow section and upper chassis with Ø33,7x3,25 pipe. I also draw most of the plates in the plans with ACAD by myself in metric form in order to avoid mistakes. And I cut them with laser cutting machine. If anybody needs I cant sent CAD file via email. Thanks.

Hi Skmergen

Shure you can post your questions here - but remember i'm also a newbie

As for materials i used colddrawn precision steel tubing ø35x2 and 40X40x1.5 square tubing. for the a-arms i used Ø35x2.5 and ø28x2.5 - since the thing haven't been run yet i do not know if these thicknesses are heavy enough...
