Are you looking to make something almost like a go-kart? Like an off-road one with bars and ****, like almost a cage?

If you're talking an off road thing, thats a school project for me. Just draft something up, you know how the basic structure of a buggy or whatever is, take a look at whats on the market and just copy their design.

I know of this store, online store, but it is in Alberta. They have kits for making off-road go-karts.

although if your doing an offroad type vehicle then you'll also need suspension... which you'd have to build the frame around aswell
