Hello there guys,

Well i am 55 years old welder that currently tries to build some kind of buggy, so i am thinking to start from small parts. Well i wanted to find some good heavy duty wheel hubs (together with bearings) and use disc brakes with them. Can you guys suggest me some good ones, since i work 2 shifts to buff up my budget for this Smile

Hope someone can throw me a good suggestion. Cheers guys.

Not sure what you are asking... Generally in this section most buggies are tube frame (rails) usually bases in VW power system and suspension... So sand of woods buggies will have VW aircooled or subaru water cooled engines and even some have Ford or Chevy 4 bangers or V8 engines... Then there are BAJA buggies and even some with fiberglass bodied buggies...

It would help to have a bit cleared description of what you are attempting to build and what drive train you are considering using...
