I thought i’d take the time to give you an update as to how the dune buggy plans were coming along as its been a while since I made a post here.
Anyway things are still moving ahead albeit slower than first anticipated! But we do have a majority of the chassis designed and the general shape finalized so now its on to the more technical parts of the design such as the steering axis inclination (SAI), akerman etc etc.
However I do plan on posting some CAD drawings of the progress so far so that you guys can have a look at the buggy and give some feedback on the design.
Stay tuned!

As i mentioned a couple of days ago, after careful consideration we have decided to go with the Suzuki 1300cc inline 4 cylinder engine from the Hayabusa to power our new buggy.
The next step was to choose how many seats this new weapon will have and the results were interesting to say the least! I thought that 2 seater buggies were all the rage at the moment but we had quite a few people asking for a 4 seater buggy. But the most popular choice was the good old single seat dune buggy, so thats what we have chosen to run with. Not only will this buggy be as light as a feather but it will also be smaller and require less material than its big brother counterparts.
Now, for those that wanted a 2 of 4 seater buggy all is not lost! Oh no see the single seater is just the start, we plan to build one of each in the near future to satisfy everyones desires!
Get ready ladies and gentlemen, the single seater dune buggy powered by the infamous GSXR 1300 Hayabusa engine is go! We’ve told our design engineer what we want and he’s begun the initial design phase!
Stay tuned!
