Some kind of off road build

[RadioFlyerrr]

So with snow quickly approaching my neck of the woods , I needed to pick up a toy . My bikes and on road cart just wouldnt cut it . So I bought this

Now before I start with my plans and such , can anyone tell me what it is ? Cant see much for markings or stickers and never seen one before .

Here are a few more pics.

Now the front suspension needs some help. That single arm system is not the most efficient setup . I have a dual A arm setup in mind for the near future .

I am not sure what make kart that is, but it looks like it is going to be fun!

Looks like a manco, not sure model. It most likely had a roll cage .

that front susp reminds me of a vw beetle

Must be the rearend of the Beetle. The front used a double trailing arm.

FWIW- Upgrade the suspension if you like. But Single-A-Arms get verbally abused for no particularly good reason, especially on offroad applications. Set up correctly, they can perform rather admirably, while offering a much simpler solution for very good travel.

Really is a Manco, those weren't made for long but they were cool.

Is there any chance of some larger images? This is a similar type of thing to what we are currently building and would really help if you could!

Cheers, Jason.
