"Yours are the fifth and sixth
(R6 and R82s) set
of plans I've ordered from four sources. I figure if I'm going to spend
well over $5,000 and numerous months putting together a buggy, I'm
better off spending a few hundred extra in the beginning to make sure I
have a buggy I'll be happy with.
Anyway, your plans are by far
the most detailed and complete. Very nice work, from the drawings to the
detailed instructions."

Don't
confuse this buggy construction manual with the backyard type buggy plans
advertised in the motoring press and elsewhere on the net.
This is not a jumped-up, off-road go-kart, or
just a weekend recreational toy, but
a full-on, two-seater
racing machine with every aspect of performance, durability, and safety
taken into consideration.
The R82s utilizes proper engineering grade materials – not just
bits of black pipe and old quad and car parts! The
R82s (Rorty
8
series, 2-seater)
is a new design for those looking for all the thrills of a single-seater
bike powered race buggy, but with the addition of a passenger/navigator's
seat.
The suspension is all new, and offers huge amounts of travel. The
stable chassis design incorporates a longer wheel base and wider track than
in previous models. This is the ideal pre-runner or play
buggy for high speed trail chasing or
dune running.
These plans have been carefully produced to enable competent
fabricators and machinists to construct a superb racing buggy for themselves
by following highly detailed and easy to read drawings.
More than just a collection of CAD drawings,
this comprehensive manual
puts bike-powered buggy racing within easy reach of
every
petrolhead!
The manual consists of the

not for the feint of heart. An
R82s fitted with a
large 4 cylinder bike motor can punch out over 400
BHP per tonne, and can
accelerate to 100 kph (62 MPH) in well under 4 seconds, with speeds approaching 200 kph
(124 MPH)!
"I do quite a lot
of work for Jaguar and Ford as a welder/fabricator
and I gotta say these drawings are of better standard than the other two put
together, thank you this is gonna be some sort of fun."
