THE X2
FEATURES:
The new X2, based on the race bred Edge Barracuda has evolved into a two seat side by side buggy.
More than 25 years of Mini buggy design, development & thousands of buggies manufactured has resulted in the X2, a chunky & aggressive long travel buggy that you can build yourself & enjoy with your friends & family.
The X2 has all the great design features of the Barracuda suspension & driveline but with a larger tougher chassis designed for two people.
It retains the Barracuda’s upraked nose, the streamlined rollcage & the Edge quickturn rack & pinion steering.
The Double A arm front suspension design has been refined, but still features rod end camber & castor adjustment & super long travel, (20”).
More internal room for the driver & passenger, as well as a longer engine area to fit larger engines has resulted in a slightly longer buggy which handles even better at high speeds.

PLANS:
These X2 plans are in full 3D CAD format. These comprehensive plans comprising over 300 pages detail every chassis & suspension part that needs to be made along with parts lists, nuts & bolts lists & material lists.
Laid out in 3D views with 2D dimensioned detailed drawings the X2 plans detail the complete chassis, front & rear suspension, brakes, pedals, all brackets, fuel tank, floor pan, roof plate, nose plate, bonnet, bulkhead plate, engine bash plate, complete steering including rack mount & steering column & gearshift setup.
In fact, every single part that needs to be made.
The X2 plans explain the chassis construction in a "step by step" format starting with the base frame & building the chassis from the ground up to make construction easier for the home builder.
Suspension arms & components are broken down into their individual parts for ease of manufacture.
Note: The X2 plan set includes the full CV2 rear suspension plans.
SUITABLE ENGINE TYPES:
The X2 is designed to suit large capacity water cooled road bike engines.
Any large capacity engine can be used as long as it is of a chain drive design, (chain drive from engine to rear wheel).
Engines from 1000cc right up to the latest ZX14R Kawasaki or Suzuki Hayabusa can be used depending on the level of performance required.
Vee twin engines such as Suzuki TL1000, Honda VTR1000, Aprilia RSV1000 are very suited to sand dune type driving as they offer lots of low rpm torque.
Big capacity muscle bikes such as the Suzuki GSX1300 Hayabusa & Kawasaki’s ZX14R are great engines for raw horsepower that give good torque, power, speed & acceleration.
PLEASE NOTE: For sale here are PLANS only, (Blueprints) which is a detailed book with CAD drawings & instructions on how to build the X2 buggy.
This is NOT THE BUGGY ITSELF.
