TONE'S BUILD
« on: June 10, 2009, 05:50:58 AM »
hi

started this build as a sidewinder type buggy
was going to be light weight with an atc250r motor and independent suspension
front and back
after spending a long time designing and building the mainframe
i was given permission (by the other half ) to spend a little more money and build it with the motor i would preferr
as soon as possible i bought a raptor 700 motor
being a much bigger motor it will be mounted behind the driver

here are some pics


main hoop



the basic main frame




a few more frame members




and more

hi

so far tigging it
take a long time and uses a lot of gas ($250 a cylinder)
might have to mig some of it

the motor is a raptor 700
good strong motor with electric start and reverse all in one
only problem they only put out 45hp
bit of comp,cdi,port work 55hp
leave it standard put on a turbo 8psi ,cdi 80hp
only problem is the club doesn't want any turbo buggies

cheers

Gees Tone looks nice and neat, I take it you are a professional welder? What sort of welder do you use? What do you think of Miller welders? So I take it that motor is out of one of those yamaha quads is it?  :police: Man I feel like a cop 20 questions.. ::)
