Trail buggy???

[chuckorlando]

Any one no of any 2 seat plans for a trail buggy? I would like long travel yet as slim as I can get.

Thanks
Chuck

I quess I will have to just hack up some plans to make a trail buggy huh.

So if I took some plans and just made the buggy slimer would the suspension beable to stay as the plans are drawn? Provided all but the width stay's the same, and theres enough room in the rear for this

Yep. You might want to see what Rorty has to offer in plans.I don't know if he has a narrow one but his plans are pretty damn good and well detailed.   www.rorty-design.com

I dont know how well these guys are but they have a two seater as well.   Dont look bad.

I think Rob is a member here...
There have been good and bad reports on his stuff...His shop is only a little over an hour from my house...But I have never taken the time to stop in :-\

I've heard the same thing. Well read any way. Team moto's cars are way to big though. Rorty has them in the right size but single seat. I think it would be easier to widen the cockpit on Rorty than to slim the whole design on the team moto. The only thin I dont like is the fact that it say's some parts have to be purchased from them. Makes me feel like they may be over priced or something

I'm alittle foggy on the overall foot print you are looking to get...Are you looking for a buggy that will fit on quad trails?

[chuckorlando]

I would'nt want to be wider than 70in. It's alot to ask for but It can be done I'm sure. I dont need alot of power cause most of what I like to do stay's under 30mph. But when you hit the flats I dont want to be a slug either

[Voodoochikin04]

under 70 inches wide... good for slow speeds.. good for 60mph on flats... and even room to expand with bigger rear sprocket...

[chuckorlando]

Is that the moto car? If so it looks wider on their site. 60 is good for me. My china buggy does what I need. It just dont have irs, has a small motor, not so stable at odd angles, but most it's not as safe.

I will be working on the suspension for my son so when he's old enough he'll have a buggy. I could redo this to my liken but I've determined that the only thing I could use without changing it would be where the seats mount. It would be easier to just build one

TaDaa! THat's a cool little effer!

That is a hell of a cool little buggy, just don't wear shoes with laces in it!

I was kind of wondering about a floor pan and a driveshaft tunnel myself. Still a cool creation tho.

Could make a light weight tunnel out of PVC tubing. Paint it black.
