Re: Welcome to Minibuggy.net
Well I guess I never really introduced myself.
I have been a welder for a long time mig and tig a lot of aluminum then went to work for a company called Agco started out welding then went to a different department and got into machining parts on CNC lathes after 9 years the company closed and moved to Kansas.
So I went to school for computers and became a computer technician and Microsoft certified worked in that field for a couple of years I hated it.
So I went back to welding I now work for a company where we do a lot of ASME and pressure vessel welding I have also got my x-ray level 1 tech cert.
We use live x-ray I can shoot through up to 1/2 “inch thick steel we have to x-ray most of are welds for DOT. Specs.
So anyway my family has been into riding 4 wheelers for awhile they had a go-cart when they were younger it was a yearf dog they drove it into the ground they took it every where.
Me and my son were talking about how much fun they had on it on the way to get parts for his traxxas RC truck (hit a concrete wall at 35 mph ouch.) and a friend of ours had just brought a china made cart on the first ride the reverse went out the lights quit working and it started making a popping sound going forward.
So I told him I could build one better I had an idea in my mind of independent suspension so I started looking on the internet for plans and came up with the panther I had never built anything like this before and did not know at the time sites like this were around.
I have loved building the buggy and can’t wait to get it done.
