Hey fam, hope you doing good...This is my first proper off-road buggy project i made this in order to a get hang of the four wheel vehicles out there, As my next project is going to be a 6x6 i thought why not build a proper buggy - off-road hybrid once and see how it pops out.
The design inspiration was taken from a canvas shoe, yup. the handling is good as it looks. the rest is left to you to comment about the pros and cons.
Pitch-to-drive.
Roll-to-steer.
Trim-to-Adjust steering wheel.
Brake-to-brake.
ACT 1: Activates lights.
ACT 2: Activates All-wheel-drive. (RWD(std.)+FWD(switchable))
ACT Landing Gear: open glass hatch.
This vehicle is equipped with cockpit POV and a 360-Degree-Surround-View-Camera.

What you need to do:
Get the weight to around 800-2000 pounds
Get the HP between 50-250
Make the front suspension double wishbone and I’ll help with the rear
Once it’s like that, let me know and I’ll fine tune it for you if you want. This will make it almost perfect!
@Chancey21 Sorry for the poor performance of this vehicle, well of course I want to see this project on its full potential, any kind of help is appreciated.
This is well build technically, but performs terribly... The suspension has about 0.5 inches of rock hard travel, it has poor traction and weight distribution, and suffers from unrealistic size, power, and braking to contribute to the lack of control. If you want help retrofitting this super cool and well built chassis into a better performing dune buggy, let me know. Id love to see this reach its fullest potential with more tuning
@Hayhayjam664 thanks man, but, I guess this is what motivates us for the further builds.
This deserves more updoots
@Kangy thanks, it started as a dragster tho.
This is amazing, it's like a buggy dragster!
