Looking good WA, thanks for the update. Nice toi hear from you I hope life/school/work are all going werll for you.
Given the fact that motor is going to be run hard and at low groundspeed I would imagine cooling may be an issue. Are you going to fit a large radiator? Oil cooler? Fan?

i have the stock radiator set up with the stock fan that is going to be running all the time, it is located behind/above the drivers head where it should get good air flow while staying protected

Had to clean the shop today so I moved the buggy out side. Got some pictures that weren't taken in a cramped garage.

Will the CV shafts be able to handle all that travel?

Shouldn't be a problem the actual angle of them will be less than when fully extended on the quad they came from, im getting some of the travel by the arms moving past parallel with the buggy so for part of a full stroke they will be angling down, straight, them angling up. The one issue I may have is that I have a 60hp motor putting power through the cvs designed for a 25 hp quad, also I wont be using a differential. I'll see what happens and if things start breaking Ill go to a different design.

Tidiness is greatly overrated.
