I sympathize with the  drowning part.  ;D
"There can be no divided allegiance here.  Any man who says he is an American,
but something else also, isn't an American at all.  We have room for but one
flag, the American flag... We have room for but one language here, and that is
the English language... and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a
loyalty to the American people."

I want to ask a question put to me by a friend
i know that buggies are very costly if we could get the cost down of a buggies and be able to reach a broader market wouldn't that help our sport. instead of selling one or too buggies if you could sell five or ten
parts drives this industry...... you would have that many more to sell parts too
this would mean going to empi and other manufactures to get there prices down also its just pipes and a motor with wheels whole cars cost more you can buy a 2011 camaro ss for less than some mini buggies
two buggy builders are out of buis now maybe more.
just a thought
for example micro stubs assy. by race trim 1295.00 that's allot of money for that part
compared to a camaro rear suspension lol you have to be rich to be in this there are lots of potential customers out there.
i have a buggy right now i could sell for ten thousand and make money on Evan making them one at a time
i know its possible  eyes eyes eyes

You need to realize the actual cost to make some of this stuff. Most companies are not getting rich from selling this stuff. Go price out all the machine work, heat treating, parts, raw material, labor, packaging, advertisement, and overhead. Then tell me the microstubs are expensive. I understand where you are coming from but you cant ask for race quality parts on a backyard builder budget. And you do get what you pay for. Go buy some china made microstubs and check the machining tollerances. You pay for beter materials and quality control.
 
Sorry to help hi-jack your thread master. I just figured I would help you reach your goal of the longest thread in internet history.  ;D  When the hell are we going to see some completed pics and video of this machine.
Its better to be a smartass than a dumbass!
