No not methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus or MRSA, what I am talking about is my latest buggy the
PTW "SuperBug"
named after the huge tyres that it has all round the Eurotrax....
I bassically built the buggy around the wheels....
what else is different about this buggy compared to the Cougar?
Well it has 8mm thick yokes offset all hand cut, then there is the way I have fixed the axle to the side rails, I made some stainless clamps from 60mm
tue 5mm thick, slit them and added plates and bracings, making them exceptionally strong. The side rails are 450mm centres
At the end of the day I cannot keep two race buggies and so one of either the Cougar or the Superbug will be up for grabs...I hopefully get some
testing done on the new buggy soon.
god damn, that's sexy.kitemaker4 - 22-4-2007 at 11:02 AM
WOW what a buggy. You are an artist when it comes to making buggys. Let us know how it rides.

Looks wicked, one question though, what was the inspiration to go with the EuroTrax wheels over the standard Bigfoots?
They look quite a bit bigger.SecondWind - 22-4-2007 at 02:22 PM
Very nice jonesing4wind - 23-4-2007 at 05:57 PM
is that chunk from your finger included, or will you charge extra for it? LOL!!!! Nice bug, and I also know that the home built projects take their
toll on the digits....

well only reason I made this buggy was because I saw those tyres and wanted them..they just look
soooooooo good and make other BFs look like midi's.....no other reason really, looking forward to trying them out

Hi Brian, well I have not come
across anyone yet who wants to pay the price for my time....and so I make them for myself, and sell the previous one as a secondhand buggy, but up
till now the ones that I sell may only be a couple of months old....and really only just tested
couple of updates

headstock bolt is now finished
and my usual footpeg extenders
Note the pegs slightly rise up and they also tilt towards the back
