    I have been following a local Powder coating business on facebook... and they posted a picture of a buggy frame. I reached out to them to get the details and they sent me the website.

    I didn't realize there was a local company making these:


    TORQ

    anyone heard of them?

    Yeah, it's cool bc they are electric. But it looks like they didn't spend much time designing.

    That would be a big part of it.

    The front end is about as simple as one can get. Nothing wrong with it, and I seriously doubt than anyone that purchases one of them would notice a thing.

    We here on the board tend to get a tad over focused on things at times - always looking at others' designs and such going "Hmmm.... if they moved that piece a hair and increased the angle of that a bit".

    It's what makes this place so much fun!
