I have taken this buggy of base and have made one f1 with suspension and direction, the problem is that I lack wheels and the photos not to be raised.

how do you do the steering system?

Mar 14, 2010. 12:42 PMdanymw (author) says:

see every step. if you build all parts,you will have the steering wheel, it's not that hard to make

i made a buggy about 3 1/2 feet long and it has 4 wheel independent suspension and it is rear wheel drive. its soooooo sweet.

Feb 16, 2010. 2:47 PMstefan3d2 says:

ya i know

Feb 14, 2010. 6:24 PMstefan3d2 says:

its nice looking and looks strong but i built it and tested against my buggy i built and its not as strong as my buggy.

but i still like the design and layout

Feb 15, 2010. 4:02 AMdanymw (author) says:

to be honest,i ripped half of the number of parts just to put it on instructable so people can build it without needing a lot of parts.
can you send a picture of both please?i really would like to see them ;)

Feb 15, 2010. 1:26 PMstefan3d2 says:

this is my buggy i can build it alot more stronger it doesnt have any suspension but i can make it with suspesion i just dont have any rubber bands right now.

im making mods for it right now once im done i will post another pic again

please comment back with what you think of it and any ideas i can do with it

Feb 16, 2010. 2:57 AMdanymw (author) says:

you don't have to use rubberbands, look in the steps on how to build the rear suspension,i wrote something about 'no rubberband suspension', i hope that helps. i don't see any pic..

Feb 15, 2010. 8:15 AMstefan3d2 says:

ok i will send you a pic of it im still making mods to it.

im going to you use your idea for the suspension that little tri piece that you can put spacers on
