As a few of you know I decided to go with chaindrive. Here is a pic of my buggy with the 0x24 trailing arm. It now has a 114" wheel base.
I need to thank Curt, Rockrockets and Mr. Burns. They have answered alot of questions.

You going to use the same motor or go to something with more HP's? That is going to be some wild ride when you get it done. How long are you looking at until its completed? The Wild Kids |

Damn, I think you just broke a few people's hearts on here! Should be really cool. You're not advertising your own product now though! 
Keep us updated with pics! |

I really like the way it looks with that extra length in wheelbase. I think you are gonna play a part in a cd explosion.

Dang, dean that thing is AWESOME!!!!  It still looks like a conventional buggy and everything!! Kinda looks like a sand drag buggy with the long wheelbase and all. I cant wait to see it go!!! Are you still gonna run those same boggers or are you going with huge tires like curt's and the other cd guys?

[quote='volksdude2007']dean you should be able to climb up that wall of a hill behind triple trouble no problem if you do somebody get vids of it memorial day or when ever he does it[/quote] Thats what I'm doing this for. So I can climb steeper hills. |
