i have nothing to do with this company, but they seem to produce some nice buggies.

check it out: http://www.buggykiteshop.com/

they make some alum rims at 47.00 USD each.

3 rims + shipping to CANADA = $180.00

I like the wheels :thumbup:

silvereaglekiter - 19-8-2008 at 08:23 PM

I m wondering what the extra tubes under the axle and under the front axle bolt are for :puzzled:

looks nice though. I kinda like the foot plate.

Damn the US dollar is so weak !!! #@%$#!in Bush!

Seriously a kite buggy at 450 GBP or euro is like 750 USD!

Looks like a really nice buggy though!

DAKITEZ - 19-8-2008 at 10:23 PM

nope not me.
If a distributor wants to bring them in great, but I'm sticking with what I currently have for awhile. Things started to grow to fast around here and my game wasn't as tight as I like it to be (as you know rev) . I need to get my game back up to my standards.

ripsessionkites - 19-8-2008 at 10:50 PM

if anyone wants to see a giant size photo of the rims, please email me.

I got no complaints with your game. I know you are doing everything you can.
Thanks again.

The tabs on the race version look to be for adding weights to balance the buggy and the one on the rear axle is a towing hitch for tandem setup. SOme of the Libres had a similar tab on the back

BeamerBob - 20-8-2008 at 04:06 AM

these rims use a different bearing size than most other buggies use. It's 20mm inside but the outside diameter is smaller and the width is smaller. I guess you would just get the size you need. You just couldn't share with others with the standard 47/20/14 bearings. They do look nice though, and not terribly expensive. A stronger dollar would be nice when looking at stuff like this.

OK weight fixtures makes since there on the budget buggy to :thumbup:

WELDNGOD - 20-8-2008 at 05:54 AM

they are made like a cheap trashcan:thumbdown::thumbdown: All the welds that I can see are just fused(no good) and the steel one all the welds have been ground down flush( usally means the welds look like crap) And if they didn't bevel the joints and do an open root weld on it, it will fail, just a matter of time.Look at the down tube lower mitre joint do ya see the doubler they had to put on it so it wont break there? That is a sign of thin material use. I don't have to put any doublers on mine, oh yeah ,I used thick aluminum square tubing! No doubler necessary ! Now look at the steel buggys down tube where the mitre joint is. Do ya see the 2 nasty lookin weld scars they didn't take the time to repair. wonder why it doesn't have a doubler. That tells me the stainless material is way thin, that's why they had to fuse it .Otherwise it would warp all to hell. It looks like it was made in china all right:lol::barf: That's right I'm a freakin" K.I.A.":moon:

People buying cheap crap instead of paying for a good item in the first place is part of the problem. A weak US doller is not entirely a president thing.

Got my flame suit on :flaming:

The buggy looks good but the welds I can see look bad.

the bad thing is, we keep on buying chinese junk. And they in turn buy up as much resources as they can like fuel, metals, stuff to industrialize their country(like we did in the 50s).Which in turn ,makes the prices of those things go higher and higher and they buy more and more with the money they get from us. It is all part of the thousand pronged attack against the west. They sell inferior, poisoned, less than standard, everything . It ain't no accident! If we would quit buying their stuff, they couldn't buy up and drive the costs up , which makes it harder on us.So we then can only afford their junk, thereby giving them more money to make it even harder on us. :flaming:

Got a reply to an email ... the bearing size is 6004 (42mmx20mmx12mm). Over here that size is easily obtainable.

I thought you spoke Cantonese, so you will have to learn Mandarin.

I look at all the pictures and all but one look like they are rendered images from a CAD program.
