Rail Buggy tech needed

Neal3000 · Mar 3, 2013

Trying to help one of my friends out, he wants to convert his railbuggy over to chaindrive and eliminate his torsion bar and use coilovers but he can't find any build threads or tech on how to do it or parts list or anything, any help would be graetly appreciated! He's in the middle of swapping a 90's WRX engine in right now.

I've got a chain drive and there is nothing you can find on em anywhere they are kind of top secret LOL. Mine has cut 42 tsls on it with three or four foot swing arms and coilovers.

You pretty much have to have a machine shop to make all the parts I've got a buddy that works at a machine shop and he has luckily been smart enough to rebuild what little I have broke on mine they are pretty damn tough and hard to stop as long as you have momentum ill get you some pics of mine it was built by a guy in Georgia he built 5 of them and they all were different in little ways than others on the rear arms I've been around a lot of chaindrives and what I've seen they are really just extravagantly home made things. They also make the ones they call baby chains as well and they are just modified factory rear arms on the factory torsion with an extension made to the arms with an offset deal at the bottom that the lower axel goes through to tighten the chains weird but works.
