Liz and I talked about it last night and decided to get another small buggy.

We both liked how Atom performed for trail riding. It was nimble and smooth on the rocks. The race buggy was too rough because of a lack of low low gearing.

We want to get another buggy that is light, but has some room for a cooler and tools.  2 seater

I have some options to consider. Do a transaxle (front or rear mount) or do a Tracker/Samurai engine trans-tcase like Atom was in the beginning. The Samurai case held up to the 1.3/1.6 engine. It did not like to big block 2.0/

I would prefer to buy a incomplete project. But a cheap chassis might be a good start as well.

Waggy 44s or Toyota axles. NO tons

37" tires.

Bare bones, not fancy.
