This is the 2nd custom Sand Rail/Dune Buggy that we are working on, base on John Boyer's original design.

We expect to start shipping the chassis first in Feb, and maybe in May we can ship the complete kit with our own gearbox and sand tires.

We hope to bring a lots of these complete kits in an affortable range, $350-500. That means we have to make a lots of these parts in plastic, wheel, gearbox, suspension arms...

We still have a long way to go, but its coming...

I assume you talking about the chassis, probably around $200 to $250

That thing would be sick (not that it already isn't) if you could four link with solid axles and crawl with it!

Looks like the rear already has the mounts for lower links.

Then it would be a rock crawler and not a sand rail there are plenty of guys building tube chassis for rock crawlers...

Rail looks awesome Hua, keep up the good work.

Would we be able to use a Rustler/Stampede drivetrain and suspention to bolt onto the chassis? If so, I'm totaly game for one.

This thing is incredible. I was talking to John Boyer at the WMB6 and he showed me one of these. Rear was Pede, front was Jato. incredible.

If I had sand around...it would have been mine.

Woohoo! Dude that thing is sweet! Hurry and get those going so I can buy one! May I suggest something on the rear end though like a spoiler/storage/intercooler box like a lot of those big long travel buggies have. I think it would balance it more, the back end just looks empty to me.

ESC could be mounted to the rail to look like a cooling fan or something.

That's mine...

I'm slowing getting it finished. It will look different when I done with it other than it will still have a blue frame.
