Cool! Did you buy the plans from Edge Products? A 800cc snowmobile engine should make that thing fly!! I built a similar buggy with a 440cc twin snowmobile motor and it's quick.

Here's their site Edge Products (http://www.git.com.au/~theedge/index.htm) . They have some cool plans for sure, I thought about building a piranha or sidewinder some time ago.

we started on the next part of the frame. we have all the metal cut but some of the angles r alittle of a grinder can fix that.


we can't decide on colors, its gonna be a 2 color scheme. does anyone have any suggestions?
