My New Buggy, the PTW Wildkat

Well, I said that I would have a go at making a Hugarian styleee buggy, and here it is


I tried and tried with varius suspension units on the rear,(I bought 8 different types) but because of the length of the swinging arms and the leverage involved, it became impractical. I decide then to make some adjustable inserts, where I can adjust the ride height of the buggy to suit various terrains. If this buggy perform well, I am going to make a race version, as you can see the power goes straight to the pilot....I like that idea.

Curious as to what the advantages of this style buggy is over the standard buggy layout.

She does look great.

That is very, very impressive work. It must be a great feeling to get out and enjoy the fruit of your labor.

Very cool design.
