Ok so we’re well underway with the design of the new buggy and its coming along superbly! Hopefully within the next few days i will be able to put up a pic of the 3d CAD sketch and get your feedback on the design and take any suggestions etc. As you can imagine, undertaking such a project is not easy and there has been many hours brainstorming the technical aspects of the buggy such as SAI (steering axis inclination), scrub radius angles, caster angles etc etc! But it’s all starting to come together now and i think you’ll like it.
Anyway, i was thinking the other day about how to structure the plans once they’re ready to be released so that the “average Joe” can successfully build his/her own buggy without running into too many difficulties during the process. The old melon started ticking over and i thought “well the best way to learn how to do anything is to get someone who knows what they’re doing to show you in person how to do it” Now obviously i can’t be by your side to show you how to put this thing together, so what if i flmed the build process of this buggy so you can watch me build it… In front of you?
If i filmed the whole process from cutting the first piece of steel to firing it up for its first drive, would that make it easier for you to build your buggy? It will most likely be divided up into parts and to be quite honest a lot of them, but i think it would be far better that trying to put a jig saw puzzle of CAD drawings together. Don’t you?
Let me know your thoughts on this by either commenting on the blog here or sending me an email to info(@)skababuggies.com (remove the brackets) and tell me what you think. If we get enough positive feedback for something like this, we’ll weigh up the options of putting together a set of instructional videos. If not then we’ll just stick to the CAD plans.
Come on! don’t be shy, tell us what you want!
Nick
