Hey nick good thing you wore your helmet. It would suck to tip it doing a top speed of what 5 mph? Maybe I should see if you want to race my grandma with her mobility scooter. I think she tops at 7 mph so you are screwed.
First thing is STOP asking if the rear is too narrow on ATV's and such the FRONT end is what handles the cornering NOT the rear it could have just ONE (1) wheel (as in a reverse 3-wheeler 2 in the front one in the back) and would still be just as stable, In fact if the rear was way wider then the front it would handle more like a regular 3-wheeler ( one wheel in front two in the rear) witch we all know can't handle for shit in corners ( I use to have Honda 250R 3-wheeler so i know how they handle) And if it was mine i would have left it as a quad, that go-kart has got to be much heaver then the quad was.. Just my opinion...
Hi everyone, I made this buggy just after finishing year 12. Yes, it has drawbacks by using quad parts but it was lots of fun on a tight budget. I didn't work off any plans so can't provide them, sorry (and things will be different depending on what quad you start with). The song is by a band a couple of my mates had in high school but they never released music officially. Thanks for the support and I hope this video has inspired others to get out there and give it a go. - Nick
Is it not a quad just extended.. The suspension running gear wiring is all done.. Just has be extended.. Not really a build in my eyes.. As in having to design steering chassis rear axel etc etc.. Looks great and well done, I don't mean to be another video basher but is what I said not what was done?
Hey bro this is the best buggy i have ever seen for a tight budget.Can you please give me plans for it if you can I want to do one like yours but using parts from a standard 125 cc bike (i doubt if its possible)
Hi Nick, I am trying to figure out how to make a Buggy just like this one. I want to know if you had any plans or schema that you could give me in Email, I would be so happy ! Thanks for your time and hope you see this ! Btw thats a great work right there ! Keep on the good work !
I have the same quad i plan on pulling the motor off and just mounting it next to me on a go cart frame i have already, mounting the clutch handle on the steering wheel and just shifting with my right hand
Hey, sorry for not replying, I haven't checked this in awhile. I'll try answer a few questions. The quad axles were a little bit narrow but it didn't end up feeling unstable, I mostly used it on flat trails. And yes I've sold the buggy now so can't make anymore videos. However the front steering was straight from the quad. Basically I cut the shaft where the quad handlebars attached and welded on a part from a car steering shalf so I could change the angle, then put a steering wheel on. I sold the buggy cos I didn't use it enough and I got into modifying my 4wd. I think the engine was powerful enough but I never really had it tuned right when in the buggy. The quad had heaps of power. And I didn't put the clutch down as a foot pedal because on my design there really wasn't enough room to fit 3 pedals in the foot area, so I had to come up with a different solution. Hand clutch worked fine though. I hope this helps some of you out.
@Nick Storm Please answer, i could do the same with a frame ive built but to me the quad Axel looks too narrow and would make the vehicle unstable and tip... have you ever encountered problems as such? sorry if miss spelt many thanks.
