Just Playin

Hey guys i havent had time to work on the buggy lately but being bored in my spare i put some time into Google Sketchup and came up with this design, i personally really like it, I know the models not perfect but it shows the concept and also how the frame is made, im trying to upload the google sketchup file itself and a couple pictures showing what it is, if you want go ahead and build it haha it would be cool seeing it, otherwise im not building it any time soon.

Have fun!

Thanks, I literally taught myself with the help of some youtube videos. started playing on it 4 years ago and this is what im capable of now, But im not as good as that looks haha i only built the frame i took the tires seats etc off of the warehouse just to give the idea of how i wanted it to look. if you look closer its nowhere near a good model, the A-arms are floating and the tires are just put in place hahaha, some of the tubing is also a little screwed up.

Nothing wrong with using parts from another source, that's why manufacturers and suppliers have 3d models of components for download, no need to reinvent the wheel if you don't have to, so to speak.
