Brian, are you on the UT team?

I'd really like to be, but I don't have time to, unfortunately.

I think that the 3 wheel ones would be the way to go  A bit easier to build and in most states you can register it as a motorcycle 



or WOW!

Haha mak i have one!

Over here in england we call them road legal buggies, then you get more extreme ones which is probably what your thinking of, which are called dune buggies.

The picture you showed is of a road legal buggy and mine looks almost identical to that one, lots of modifications take place such as putting bigger engines in but standard they come in 50cc. 125cc or 250cc. What was it you wanted to know about the suspension setup on them?

I can give you a small decription, front suspension is just a basic one shock per wheel the rear is like a subframe for a motorcycle, it has the engine mounted in a small roll cage providing drive to the rear wheels, then the whole subframe is hinged of the main frame and uses too mono shocks left and right attached further up the chassis just like a motorcycle.
