I guess it is a man thing. It started as a suspension build, ahh need a bigger engine, now that means we need bigger tires. Well im gonna ride it alot in the cold so I need flame throwers too haha.

Love it. I was ...

Love it. I was wanting to build the same thing but too many people already have so next year for my senior project my uncle an I are going to build one with a Brute Force motor

why not just ...

why not just shotern ur a arms to "normal" long travel and just enjoy it? or add around 6 inches r so to all ur new parts at the point where they r welded to the frame? seems like an easy fix for a big mistake. bring on the next vid!

When will your next upload of this series be?

So far I had never ...

So far I had never really noticed the solid rear axle for turning, but a nice fresh front tire with good tread is the trick

Not that it was bad ...

Not that it was bad, I just wanted bigger and better

oh and another ...

oh and another question. how wide is it? and if im right it has no differential. isnt it problematic riding without it?

how is this ...

how is this suspension bad?

I think its going ...

I think its going to get a whole new look in the back, I can kinda picture what I want to do next, the whole rear section is going to be removed for a major update, the trailer will have to adapt to the machine once I get it finished

It had 12 inches of ...

It had 12 inches of travel and a bit more than that for ground clearance, it was about 700 pounds and had 22 inch front tire and a 25 in the rear, I just wanted better suspension and then things kinda started getting big, I enjoy fabricating and stuff

can i ask you how ...

can i ask you how much ground clearance, suspension travel and weight you had on your buggy and what tire sizes? (before the conversion) and also how did you decide to rebuild it, it looked like it was able to climb pretty steep snow hills.

The solution to ...

The solution to engine fit IMHO could be stretch the frame between the triangulated frame members of the rear suspension and the back of the seat. It seems to be simpler to stretch the frame 4-6 inches rather than reengineer the triangular frame members of the rear suspension. But will the longer vehicle fit in the tow trailer?

many go to his ...

many go to his channel and search buggy

I've been in your ...

I've been in your position before. It's kinda hard to re do your own work sometimes.

That big motor would be nice in a Lowcost 7 sports car. You're fast, probably could have it done this summer.

That would help, even better if you were here to help me drink it

Good luck buddy I ...

Good luck buddy I will send you some cold beer if that will help.

So true, but I ...

So true, but I need it for the splines so I can build one for this machine
