8015 Posted June 17, 2004 Report Posted June 17, 2004 I have 2 buggies. If I'm getting the train out to my local spot I use a PL comp because there is nothing lighter and easier to carry. I have been fast in it but it's not very good for fast. If I have a lift or I'm racing (which requires a lift) I have apretty much custom race buggy. the front end was all built by square metre from their powermax range, with a good lead time before their recent problems. Admittedly I got the parts unpainted because I thought I knew what finish I wanted (it's crap should have got them to powder coat it). The rear axle is a piece of HEAVY steam pipe my Dad had laying around, which he got his man at work to bore and make inserts for and I welded the tabs on to fit the side frames. Currently running with 20mm stub axles (nuts are secured with split pins after I nearly lost a 12mm wheel bolt in a race) instead of the 12mm threaded inserts I started with. On them I have bigfoot lights, but may at some point get some Cadkat rims off Zman and make them into full width bigfoots Pro's are that I can hold down plenty of power and it stays fairly stable at high speed, cons are transporting the beast and that I need high power to acheive high speeds on account of the weight, however all race buggies except the PL have this in common There are some fantastic race buggies coming onto the market at the moment - to say any particular one is the mutts nuts would be brave!
