About 2 years ago I picked up these two buggies from Peter Kay. He had them advertised for sale on the forum for a few months. I was going to originally keep the yellow one but Peter said the blue buggy at one time was a Natures Recipe car driven by Rennie Awana. It had different things done to it that the other one didn’t. Both buggies came complete with spare parts but no engines or fuel cells. The blue buggy had the Engine mounts cut out as Peter was getting ready to put a FL400 bottom end mates to a CR500 top end. That never happened and the Engine sold. I didn’t have a FL350 or FL400 Engine but I did have a mostly complete Rotax 583 kit from Farr Off-road. Rusty who had been on the forum contacted me about acquiring one of them. Since I don’t have the tools or talent to do an Engine swap I traded him the yellow buggy to install the Rotax Engine, modify the pipe, setup watercraft carbs and build a fuel cell. Ended up with a 5 gallon fuel Cell, I will post some pictures of that as well. The Fox shocks had been rebuilt as well as the Rpm trans serviced before Peter sold the buggies so they were in good shape. Rusty plans on putting a Razor 900/1000 Engine in the buggy he has. The buggy is all done and back home. When things slow down I will take it out and check jetting and all fittings/nuts/bolts etc. I did pick up a nice set of dune tires for it. Here are some pictures.

File comment: Extra set of front lower arms. These are the older style. They bent at the lower shock mount. They were updated with a different lower shock mount.

WOW nice job on that buggy.
That rear suspension on that machine looks real fragile to me :shock: .
It amazes me that it could take the amount of punishment that machine would have been put through.
I like the sheet metal rear uprights. Those would be light.
Has FL350 shifter -- always a bonus. It's marked for forward & reverse in case you forget because u excited.
What are those axles from ??

I’m guessing they were either made in house or like the EEE custom from Sway-Away. They use type 2/4 cv assemblies.

This one is going to be that beater looking sleeper. Maybe somewhere WAY down the road I will go through it and clean it up. The parts that matter are all good to go.
