So Mr Mills,
Are there any plans to make an Exobuggy?
The type of thing with improved ride height, to handle off road fun? But to be road legal? Similar to a Rage or Fugitive?

I do hope so, like the T-Rex copy market, the buggy market is seriously lacking in options, and to have a nice strong well built chassis with same weight as a mevabusa, but long spring travel for off road sounds good.... I look forward to Stoneleigh and bending your ear :-)

I will admit a bike engined buggy similar to a Rage would be next on my list to build:-) 2 seats, under 500kg and long travel suspension.

Yeah it's how I'm swaying as I fancy something I can potentially drive to work (uneven car park), park up and not worry that some scroat will steal, allow me to take it off-road should the urge take me, and something I can alter wheels and suspension on if I feel I want to track day it.... A nice V -Twin growling engine, single seater works for me, I'm not bothered for a passenger, and this will allow for perfect weight distribution..... A windscreen and roof will allow motorway cruising without a crash helmet.......
Yeah I look forward to an Exobuggy
Make it so Mr Mills..... :-)

£32,000 Mr Mills? Hmmm, for £30,000 I would import a T-Rex, alas Kit Car being the meaning for cheap alternative, the Nomad is not :-) Drakart make a very nice bit of kit, but only off road from what I can see. Rage also make something similar, but if i'm honest, the Drakart looks a much sweeter bit of kit. Would prefer to stick with MEV / RTR. But let's see what Stoneleigh brings |

or the XS on off road tyres with a suspension lift, plus of course a spare tyre on the back and 4 high level fog lights.

There was thick snow on the ground today so we put some rally tyres on the Exocet XS and I made 4 lift blocks to jack it up 50mm. With the limited slip diff it goes amazingly well despite the hard icy snow conditions. Naturally I needed the side panel as shown, it was rather dirty when I had finished but I was not even wet!    |

That actually looks quite good.
Now if it could be done with 4 wheel drive I would be very interested.
Possibly an older model Audi TT Quattro or Jaguar 4 wheel drive.
