A mate of mine wants to build a buggy from silent running and looking for any info or pics of the originals. To me the wheels like they're from a Honda ATC.

The Cyclops iirc always wanted one.

Doug and his father should have licensed them

Already spoken to him and his late father made them as one-offs and he said they got destroyed after filming
No plans or anything unless he was lying to me :/ I've been trying to make one myself but if you contact him and get plans can I get a copy please

I keep you posted on my build and if I get it 100% I might sell plans or make your own kits

Doug has mentioned in the past that those things were one-off's, not really based on an existing vehicle. They were incredibly unstable. He nearly wrecked in one and one of his actors refused to drive one. A crew member put on a helmet to disguise himself when the filmed the race. You might be better off modifying something that exists rather than duplicating their cobbled together scheme.....
