Re: First Desert Mini Buggy Build
We spent most of the day on sunday working on it but didn't get a lot done. *Some days are more productive than others. *If I had it to do over again I would have forced myself to do a complete 3d model. *It seems like we spent half the day figuring out what we were going to build instead of actually building it. *There is still some triangulation missing in the tubes we added, hopefully next weekend we'l have some real progress to report. *I also got my front hubs and rear micro stub kit from RBP Manufacturing, so I need to get going on drawing the suspension.

Re: First Desert Mini Buggy Build
We worked all day today and got a lot done. *We got rid of the mitered hoop at the pedal box and replaced it with one tube bent in three places which took a while to fit. *We sanded flat on two angles so it would fit nicely on the fron shock tower and gusset. *We also got the main cage tacked up, and realized we can move the seat back, which will free up some room for the pedal box.

Re: First Desert Mini Buggy Build
So we worked on the car all of sunday. *We got the main cage welded out, except for some triangulation and gusseting. *when it finally cooled, the warp was 1/8" at the top most bar, the floor and bulkhead didn't move at all. *we also started to reposition the seat. *I've finished designing the rear suspension kinematics but now need to wrap it around the gearbox, thats this weeks homework.

Re: First Desert Mini Buggy Build
I think we will make our own pedal assembly, but use the tilton remote mount master cylinder set. *Does anyone have an opinion of cable vs. hydraulic actuated clutch? *is hydraulic worth the extra $$$?

Re: First Desert Mini Buggy Build
So its been a long time since I posted any pictures. *We have gotten the rear bulkhead parts back from the laser cutters and welded it out. *We have welded it to the rear and mounted the motor. *We have built new headers and started on the wireing. *We succesfully welded the case as well. *this weekend we are going to install the control cables.

Re: First Desert Mini Buggy Build
all of the A-arms and jigs are out to qute with the laser cutters, so they should be all mounted up in a few weeks. *The rear suspension has about 30% anti squat with about 4in. of wheel recession. *Both arms are at the same angle as the front lower. *I kept the plunge to less than .5 in. but I need about 40 degrees of cv articulation so I'm going to try non plunging cv's with 930 pattern and a regular coated splined slip joint. *I'm hopeing since I have little plunge I wont need ball splines, but if stiction is governing the axial force then ?
