Abstract
As we know a buggy is used for racing in terrain which isn’t very suitable for racing with cars. A
buggy is a vehicle used for extremely difficult terrains to race on. Using that concept we decided
to build a buggy that is more focused on tarred road on concrete road. Buggy in general will cost
a lot of money to build or even buy, we managed to build a track buggy which is cheap and
provides good mileage. We have completed this project by using processes like welding,
grinding, cutting, drilling and many other mechanical processes.
The model of the track buggy was made using Lumina Software. The model was done using the
exact shape and the size of the track buggy was finalized. After this the fabrication for it was
done according to the model created.
The fabrication was done using auto chassis, Tata ace axle and many other parts from different
automobiles.
The main aim was to compare this with the go-karts present in the industry and replace it with
Track Buggies, this being more stronger, powerful, manual transmission and safer on the tracks
perspective. The analysis of the Chassis and the axle was done to contradict the above statement.
Track buggy being rigid due to the heavy axle and the rear engine gives more advantage for
being used on a track as the weight is evenly distributed.
The centre on gravity being right under the seat gives it a better control of the vehicle on sharp
turns, whereas go-karts in the seat is sometimes placed towards the right hand side or the left
hand side of the chassis and the engine being place either on the left or right hand side of the
seat.
The track buggy being ride height being low gives it more advantage to have more downforce.
Track Buggy according to the analysis done has a greater advantage than the go-karts as well as
certain disadvantages.
