Well at least from paint to dirt I guess... Just don't break it after 45min like I did.

Thanks! I drove it the other night, and like most buggies on the first trip out of the garage, they need some tweaking! Steering is SO SCARY on the street! I think everything is still very tight and needs to loosen up. If you turn the wheel a very little bit, it hesitates, then jumps throwing you into oncoming traffic! :roll:

Awsome job. I do understand on the twitchy steering. When I first completed my new Buggy, I went down the rode and thought for sure i was gonna ditch it. It was all over the road. After I readjusted the toe to be straight at ride height it was better. After the front supension lossend up and began working it got much better and I gave it some more toe in.

We took it out over the weekend for a shake down and the only issue I'm having is the steering. Even off road if you get up to around 25 mph or so, thats all you can do. Its way to easy to over steer. Its like the ram is delayed just a little from the steering wheel. It really needs some work

My power steering was awful til I modified the pump. I drilled out the ports bigger and put in a softer spring and smaller BB.

We went to wheelers last weekend, and the buggy did great! I think I fixed the power steering issue as it works perfectly now. I just made a bigger resivor. Nothing broke yet, and I even got to try out the "bulletproof" reverse (backing up a dead trail) :mrgreen:

Greg I think it is Newbes . I hear his buggy goes right for trees at night & makes more HP.
