Cost to home build Megalodon Sand Rail is approx $500-$700 worth of steel to build the chassis & suspension a-arms. Parts cost varies from $5000 to $10,000 depending on which version you build. Our construction plans show an "Economy" version & a "Pro" version. "Pro" version uses a $4K reverse gear box

Great footage! Can't wait to see more.
Nice to see the front suspension work and to see you shift gears :)
Thanks for uploading! Can't wait to built one of my own someday.

Yep in Formula SAE most teams use that method because there's not enough room for a 3 pedal pedal box and it's faster to shift.

Great demo ride! What does the car cost to build given the average home owner with ratchet and wrenches?

[@guhnatcat]

Nice. How much shock travel is there front and rear? And how much suspension (a arm travel) does that amount up to? Ps im building a slightly modded version of ur st2 plans bought from yall. Awsome stuff. Hmmm... Im wondering if a badland buggy track car like formula ford type of thing could be next... Hmmmm....

Well since street bike clutches are actuated by hand powered clutch it should not be a problem, assuming you can source a gear shifter with a clutch lever attached to it.

for someone who has no use in the right leg, but wanted to do a bike engine set up do you think the clutch on the gear shifter would suffice?
