Title: kid buggy?
Post by: M4wdFab on June 12, 2024, 09:47:04 PM

Nick and I have been throwing around building his girls a kid buggy.

Samauri based axles/tcase with powered by shaft drive 4wheel motor/trans.

I have (4) 8" fox 2.0 air shocks, 35" sticky SCRs, RIT Baja car Mechanical steering rack/Cobalt electric inline power assist  (no hydro pump), JT control arms to use at links, a steering wheel, 1.5" 120 DOM tube for chasis in the parts pile so far.

looking to grab a samauri shell for cheap to harvest axles and divorced transfer case.  then some kind of shaft drive quad motor with auto shift trans, reverse, low range, electric start and also pull start provision to sling an alternator pulley and or hydro pump off of.  corbeau kid bench seat to fit two kids or stuff an adult in to move it.

Back when I was building the J truck I was following a guy building a Honda power kid buggy for his girl.  I remember watching vids of her flog it!  edit: found it.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FGqJC2TQVxU

Nate Gilbert built one for his son a few years ago. Honda ATV drivetrain, Sami axles and case, electric hydraulic steering pump from a Volvo or something. Kills the battery after an hour or so, needs an alternator. 32" sxs BFG stickies. Works pretty well and is a riot to watch out on the trails.
