wow...looking cool as heck... You are building exactly what I have been dreaming of. I am trying to find that right combo for a buggy that is already built... I would love to find a polaris sprotsman with the 550 in it.... Those are BEASTS, and to put that monster in a buggy will make it the king kong of the hills and mud pits!!! lol... Keep the pics flowing!!! looking like one bad a$$ machine!!!!

That thing looks sweet. If you ever want to squeeze a few more ponies out of that engine, look for a used TRX450R carb on eBay (search for "450r carb"). Those vacuum actuated CV carbs are not known for making horsepower.

I will not be using a chain tensioner, hub assembly adjusts to tighten the chain same as original setup on 4wheeler. [/b][/i][/code]

CraZy I think if you work out all the kinks you could definitely have a custom buggy building base here. Think of all the potential customers. If China won't give you what you want talk to CraZy. Very Happy Very Happy Very Happy

It looks great.
How much longer do you think it will take you to finish?

great idea i plan on the same thing as my next project. but using my totaled out kawasaki KFX700 engine (automatic). those plans when finished would be a nice fit i think. maybe i could talk to you later about that. my frame was broken but all suspension parts were ok. maybe i could use all my parts and just change to a bigger shock with more travel.

I hope to be finished with the buggy by summer. As far as plans I never thought about it. I guess I could draw some up with pics when I finish. To tell the truth, I wish the chinese buggy builders would copy and build them, cause I`d like to have 2 of them. Ha!!
The KFX 700 would be a great power plant. The reason I went with the outlaw was the rear suspension. I needed that to get it as small as possible, and keep all major weight componets low in the frame.
