Piranha buggy build

[@richardroberts3416]

Beautiful workmanship, love how you complete each section including painting as you go. Something important living in humid parts of the world (Nth Qld for me)

[@D-DAY]

Thanks mate yeah i had to stay on top of it paint wise since it took me 5 years to build .

[@jasonmorse3214]

Can you tell me any information about the shocks that you used ? They look like they will do a great job! I am going to start my build of the Piranha 3 shortly .i am going to use a Suzuki TL 1000 engine in mine .

[@D-DAY]

Yes they work really well they are fox 2.0 coil-overs 12" travel with ebaich springs. The main spring is 250 lb and the tender springs are 200 also supplied by downsouth motorsports in USA and i believe he may have valved them to suit as he knows our buggies. Sonny is the guy to talk to

[@GearScar]

Very nice build!

[@vintagetintrader1062]

Nice trailer, very similar to the ones I make. My next project is a ‘Sidewinder buggy’ Great fabricating skills with that buggy

[@D-DAY]

Thanks , Sidewinders are a great buggy .

[@hairychris71]

How many hours do you reckon you put into the build? I'm looking at building one - I'm a fitter / welder by trade, but been off the tools for a few years and want to get my hands dirty again..!

[@D-DAY]

I really don't know I stopped counting at around 80 hours and half way done I'd say at least 100 Maybe 200

[@missilpeludo8813]

Piece by piece! You have my respect! Amazing job.

[@tw1st3d35]

Quick question. Did you make any kind of front brakes or just the rear one? Can‘t tell from the pics. Looking to get a similar buggy myself but I‘m afraid of not stopping on time due tononly having one brake.

[@D-DAY]

Yes it has a caliper on each of the front wheels and a single caliper on the rear.

[@tw1st3d35]

@@D-DAY oh okay. What calipers, shoes and rotors did you use? Special made or something off-shelf? Also how did you mount them? Any way you can give me some pictures?

[@D-DAY]

Puede agregar medidas de las partes o algún plano

[@franklinjosueaguirreyanez]

Yo también las necesito

[@angusmcpheee8028]

good job mate. do you have to source all of your own componentry or did it come with it

[@D-DAY]

Components that i couldn't make were supplied by edge buggy products

[@ivanzeba7433]

Hi, that Piranha looks awesome! Is that Piranha 1 with modified front end, or Piranha II - III?

[@D-DAY]

Hi it is a piranha ll with modified front and the upgrad to double a arm rear with CV shafts

[@D-DAY]

Also modified the rear roll bars to fit the radiator up higher

[@ivanzeba7433]

I'm building piranha II buggy too so I'm interested in the little things ... The front tires are 10 "or 12", the rear tires I see are 26x12x12

[@ivanzeba7433]

I'm from Croatia, so I have difficulty ordering things from "the edge products", so I have to build everything myself. I need a little more time but I think I will succeed

[@D-DAY]

They are 10"

[@maurovisser4359]

Is Theo a lot of elektronica ? Great video!

[@D-DAY]

Yeah it's fuel injected the electronic are all behind the seat

[@hectorgonzalez7416]

[@LatysGarage]

You’ve done such a good job . Are there many blokes around the coast with these because I would love to get one

[@D-DAY]

Thanks , there are a couple of people that I know of in Brisbane and a fella in cooloola they all get together and race in the short course series and they also do some tarmac event. Me I just fang it in the forest no rules and no one telling me what to do , I hated karting for that reason. Check out qld superlites on face book there is a sick barracuda for sale in wa at the moment with a bussa for 15k

[@boyddotchamberlain6656]

What front spindles and hubs did you use?

[@D-DAY]

I made them using these stub axles At 1:36 you can see the front hubs theedgeproducts.com/collections/the-piranha-ii-parts/products/stub-axles-plain-machined
