it looks liek you have a lot of decent parts to start with, but your best bet if you plan on getting out and climbing hills and whatnot would be to get another frame and transfer some of the parts over. Good Luck!!

Welcome to the Forum. That will be a great starter Buggy. It will do well in tight trails.

Thanks for the welcome, once I get this engine running good, and really get bit by the "bug" I would like to have a nicer and longer frame, for the price I couldn't pass this up, and a good way to get my feet wet.

SWEET RIDE, I LOVE THE SHORT BUGGYS FOR RIDING WHEELIES AND TRAIL RIDING ALTHOUGH I SEE YOU DO NEED TO PURCHASE SOME NEW 5 POINT SEATBELTS AND WEAR HEALMENTS SOONER OR LATER YOU WILL GET A WILD RIDE :lol:

Welcome to the site! Your off to a good start. Just get that thing running good and have some fun. From there you will figure out what way want to go. Hillclimb? Trail ride? Faster? More power? Then you can build one to your likeing with all the parts off of that buggy. There are many very knowledgeable people here so ask as many questions as you want. Believe me, they will all put their 2 cents in.
