When I said "you" I meant anybody reading this. Enjoy your vacataion.

In order to stay on topic I have a couple questions. Ragtop, am I missing something in the pics or are you copying the "trophy kart"? If you are, why not use your skills & an original idea for a build?

Copying, I would say not at all. A trophy Kart is 10hp, live axle and so on. What I have is a modified trophy kart body. Other than that it's mine. Different material, different construction, different weight, length, width, different is just about every aspect except that I am using a modified Trophy Kart body. I don't even have a trophy kart or one near me to COPY from. I have my own idea's and standards that I will build mine from.

Are you going off the plans found here: The Plans, for Mini Truggy, Long Travel Sand Rail, Long Travel Rhino ? If so, how are they plans (detailed, not-so-much)?

I only find a problem when you copy something and sell it. Profiting off someone else's work is forked up IMO. Copying it for yourself, eh whatever. Who cares?

Anyway, Are you going for something kinda like this?eBay Motors: Awesome Truggy-Buggy-Sandrail-UTV WOW! Check it Out! (item 150286479577 end time Aug-29-08 13:17:05 PDT)

I bought those plans, but they are not detailed. Many many dimensions are missing and I am making a 2 seat version and I plan to make a few bodies for myself. Their plans will get you in the BALLPARK!

i was wondering if there was a way to get a 3-d look at that cad?

Have you done anything with this build? I really like thse things. With the longer cab, I think It's a winner
