Honda XL500s Mini Buggy Build || Part 1

Oh boy, here we go. Rolling out of the garage next is a home-built mini off road dune buggy, powered by a 1981 Honda XL500s engine. This project is another collaboration with Lincoln from Flaming Rayz, who is also building an off road dune buggy as per the rules we've made.

Specifications of what happened in this video:
I started construction of the bottom part of the frame using scrap 1" mild steel pipe, and used amazon pillow blocks and an old go kart axle as the rear swingarm pivot point. The rear axle was constructed using a @ 1" go kart axle, 44" in length. I then used a scrap go kart sprocket and ground the teeth off of it to use as a brake disk. I also used my school's waterjet cutter to cut out a sprocket hub out of 3/16" mild steel.
