Fast live buggies project

General spec included

• Suzuki Hayabusa 1380cc engines
• Bespoke chassis design to suit body
• Full aluminum panel body styled to resemble movie vehicle
• Project was full design, manufacture, build and test program to deliver running vehicles
• Bespoke gear drivetrain designed and manufactured for reliability

Process

UV Design & Engineering designed a body using aluminum sheet panels to resemble the movie vehicle, then designed a steel tube chassis to fit underneath incorporating of:

• Bespoke suspension components
• Bespoke gear drivetrain / spool differential
• Oversized radiator / cooling pack
• The supplier provided body panels ready to assemble and all rivet holes pre-cut

Process

Once the design was completed and approved, all tube and sheet parts were laser cut to utilise innovative manufacturing techniques.

• All tube and sheet laser cut by sub-contract suppliers and supplied ready to assemble or weld.
• All tube and sheet parts assembled using pegs or slots – no jigs or fixture required.
• All parts assembled and fully TIG welded by UV Design & Engineering.

UV Design & Engineering manufactured all metalwork components in-house , including:

• All chassis parts
• All suspension components
• All water system parts
• All fuel system parts

Process

UV Design and Engineering sourced and supplied all running gear components including:

• Suzuki Hyabusa engines
• Wiring harness
• Suspension

Process

• The project from start to completion took approximately 5 months
• We delivered the vehicles assembled, running and fully tested.
