Thread: UTV/side by side custom chassis plans

Started 2 months, 1 week ago by Streetwerkz
If I were to build one, and record everything, would there be interest from others to purchase plans?

I think building a SxS would be a good idea. If you built it yourself using a streetbike motor, you could come out with a machine that is cheaper than a new SxS and something that will whip the ass of anything SxS on the market currently. I had an idea to build a single seat RZR using a CBR1000RR motor mated to a Quaife reversing gearbox, then mated to a Suzuki Samurai Transfer case. What I...

I have a 05 bussa drive train, and harness... just needs a cage to go around it. debating on speed, like sinister sand sports, or a crawler style buggy a mini crawler would be cool... but so is doing 100+ mph lol

would you run the drivetrain like the traditional RZR's are or would you do this like a normal front engine buggy is?

Yoshi at sinister sand sports builds that baddest mc rails out there. I do not really understand why people are putting r1 and busa engines in rhinos and rzrs. Ya its cool but I would much rather build a long travel 2 seat buggy that has way better suspension and everything would be built to handle that kind of power.

great tech. What kind of budget do you think you will have on this build?

That as my point. that tires size probably would break rzr hubs and suspension would be to weak for those speeds.

Originally yes. I started looking at components from a strength/cost standpoint and found that building my own will be a better option. Out back will probably be a 3" x 3" trailing arm and A-arms up front. The susp/hubs/etc. will be a little heavier but with much more strength. Since I am also stepping up the tire size, I figured this would be a better way to go.

I would never give up the 4 wheel drive in the RZR. That is what makes them so great.

I agree Yoshi is the man, however I'm looking more toward a 4 wd, truggy style build. I like the bussa motor because it's small for the out put about 180 hp. Should with that hp be able to wheel well, and switch to 2 wd and have fun been swamped at werk, so haven't had much time to think about it... I need to make the time.

Sounds like a sweet idea Ive been kinda eyeballin some sxs's but cant decide on which route to go between ground clearence an power... If I had teh money a busa engine with Sami axles and Tcase would be fun but I prefer to crawl and hillclimb so straight axle works highspeed though would kinda suck.
