Piranha Buggy

The Piranha Buggy made by Edge is a proven design for all types of off road driving and has excellent handling, strength & durability that you would think you could only get from a full size off road dune buggy. 

It has a very simple front end design by way of single ‘A” arm with coil over shocks, this suspension easily handles the bumps and makes the Piranha simple & easy to drive.

Designed to be powered by a water cooled motor cycle motor anywhere from 500-1000cc in size. Using these types of motors produces a buggy that has a high power to weight ratio.

The simple and very strongly designed chassis is made of RHS box section and tube roll cage making this buggy a very simple project for the average home builder to construct.

The Piranha Buggy comes in various stages to suit, you can purchase just the plans and basically make everything yourself or purchase it in various stages right up to a full rolling chassis, it’s up to you.
