Pics of Otter's new rear engine buggy

vorlando · 06-06-2004, 09:18 PM

Well rather than run my TJ again in Neuroc this past weekend, Otter and I decided to work the new buggy. Plan is to have it done for the July Neuroc. Made a lot of progress but still have plenty to do

Quick specs-

Saturn drivetrain
Standard cut Dana 60's flipped
Fox air shocks
Front and rear steer

I can not get the pictures to link but here is the link to the gallary.

masonmachines · 06-07-2004, 01:10 PM

A few reasons-

1) A good friend of ours works at a Saturn dealer and got us a complete donor car to use.

2) The drivetrain is insanely light.

3) Just trying to be different

FLEXYSAMMY · 06-07-2004, 01:34 PM

Yeah But They Are Goona Have To Grease The Roll Cage To Egt Otter In There!

Whaley Enterprises · 06-07-2004, 01:42 PM

i suppose it will should weigh between 2500-3000 lbs

hey flexy,, it will still have more hp than your sammy

White Goat · 06-07-2004, 07:51 PM

saturns are cool you are the third I think, now to run one. rockstomper, me now you

using the transaxle? auto or stick?
I am using an auto , welded diff to a sammy case.

insane low unfortunatly not much speed.

hope the transaxle holds up.

White Goat · 06-07-2004, 07:53 PM

weight is around 1850-1900lbs your's sounds about right

Whaley Enterprises · 06-07-2004, 08:01 PM

low,, really low with the 4.10 in the transaxle into whatever the sammy case is,, why even bother with the sammy case??

White Goat · 06-07-2004, 08:18 PM

cause there is no room for the rear out put shaft.

Is yours stick or auto?
