So, what do you think it costs to build a one of a kind buggy/bouncer?

[QUOTE="ATX780, post: 481093, member: 3201"] Axle housing cost - Axle shafts - $4k+ each Spools - $1k+ each Gears and install kits - $500+ per axle Custom axle seals - depends on who makes them... but lets just say $500+ per axle Ouverson spindles to accept 2" shafts - $1k+ per pair OR machine rockwell spindles to accept the 2" shafts - whatever a machine shop that can actually do it would charge Knuckles and Cs that can accept the RCV big bells or Ouverson shafts - price depends on who you get them from, but it's not going to be less than $2k+ OR Machine rockwell C's and Knuckles to fit the axle - whatever it would cost to get the knuckles and Cs and then whatever a machine shop would charge to machine them Ouverson hubs - $1k+ per pair Let's not forget that you also have to: Build axle truss, install link mounts, brake caliper mounts, cost of the rotors, GOOD brake calipers and pads... and some axles will also require to have a custom offset. Mine had to be offset in the front and the rear... so you've time and $$ in the machined parts to make that possible. AND now, if you can't put this all together yourself or don't have time to, you have to pay someone to do it. By my count, you're over $10k right there... [/QUOTE]
