Buggy chassis

[55Willy]

any downside to building the "core" of the chassis out of square tubing? then doing the engine cradle and roll cage in DOM?

basicly a truggy without starting with a truck.

For the most part, no. NASCAR is my guide when it comes to rollcages, and that's what they use as their base for their chassis.

Hope that helps !

Look at Mikey's build. He is using part of his K5's frame.

And he can tell you what he used/didn't. May give you a good starting point.
