For those that have joined looking for ideas on 1-seater buggies--
search for "mini baja" in google or any search engine-- you should get
oodles of universities that build this buggies (like the one pictures
on the homepage).
I'm team leader for the charlotte team- we've about to start testing
this year's car-- we designed and bulit every part on it except the
engine.. b/c that is standardize... it has a 3 speed transmission &
CVT (belt drive), 12" of travel at all 4 wheels, fully CNC machined
hubs & weighs less than 400 lbs... so search for mini-baja.. you will
get a lot of ideas and suggestions from those websites.
