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.

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.
