Zuk Buggy 2.0

How is the comfort level while in the drivers seat ? You look a little bunched up in the one photo you have posted.

Nice build. What app did you use for the speed and route?

I couldn't get the master mounted anywhere else and like the aesthetics of it, so that's where the pedal had to go. It's still more room than the last buggy and doesn't bother me. I'm 6'2" 230ish, so even a Jeep is a little snug. I was more worried about headroom for when I send it and fail.

I had a good one on my android called My Tracks, but it skitzed out on me this week and I went back to an iPhone. This app is called Map My Tracks.

Good call on the headroom...looking forward to hearing how it did after its first outing.

2 more days.

I wheelstood it on the rear tires a couple times going vertical and never went over, even without water in the front. I flopped it a couple times doing wheelstands and was able rear steer and drive out of it. The car is a huge learning curve and makes you respect how easy the pros make it look so effortless. The tune is trash and it won't idle, but due to scheduling conflicts can't get on the dyno until Nov 20th. There were a few things I thought a friend tightened when they came over for the final push that wasn't, that I tightened up at camp. The RCV boots kept popping off my tie wraps was really the only breakage.

Good news and great pics! Glad to hear it worked and your son had a good time too.

Cool. So all minor little normals

I'm sure it was a fun trip. I bet just a completely different animal from the Sami

All them sticky tires!!!! Nice pics.

Completely different animal. Going to Gilmer this weekend to get some more seat time.

Went to Barnwell Mountain for the weekend with some friends



Tried sending it on Dewoody, but forgot to gas up and it stalled





Heim pulled out of my buddy's truck on the park road

Wow! Crazy breakage!

Buggy looks like it's being tested pretty quickly. Crazy looking breakage for the Dirt Squirrel. Maybe time for him to update his build thread that's on here.

It's ridiculous the lines you can take with rear steer. Alex is one cool mofo and that truck is legit.

You have a pic of the footwell and where you mounted the throttle?

It's a little hard to see in the above pic, but it's inline with the brake pedal about middle of the panel. Undecided if this will stay or be redone.
