Built a simple plate style radiator mount, this will be captured and shrouded in from the top as well. Sway bar tube is incorporated into the radiator mount as well and from there, we filled in a majority of the main chassis support tubing.
We knew going in that we would be doing the rear of the chassis differently than the previous ones. We did this for 2 reasons… first being the obvious difference of the massive rear radiator taking up some real estate back there, but the 2nd , and probably more important reason being that we wanted to make sure that uptravel was maximized back here to really take advantage of the shock package. Too many folks build buggies and spend all this money on shock packages…and slap them on a setup that looks like they were designed using crayons and old newspaper. We are maximizing smooth travel numbers, keeping shock angles ideal through travel, and will work extensively on the tuning to make sure that this thing reaches full potential. The different rear section adds an additional 6” potential uptravel over the “trail buggy” version on the previous 3 buggies (4 chassis are built with the same design, and this 5th one will be the first using this rear setup.
