If you was going to build an Ecotec, what frame would you use?

2 seat, 100" or shorter wheel base.

I can't decide on these 3...
Berrien Warrior (cheapest if bought as a knockdown) $367
Berrien Classic 2100 (Has "extra tool space" which I may need for radiator/computer/extra stuff needed for Ecotec) $667
Berrien Stalker (Looks the coolest from the start, cockpit moved forward which would help offset weight) $696

If anyone has any other suggestions please let me know.

I plan on starting out building a street ready 1600 with everything else beefed up, then as more money becomes available, I will add the ecotec next year, and a 6rib.
But, If I decide to build it myself, I would like to start with the best frame for the money I can, especially if I am putting a lot of money into it.

Still searching Samba and Craigslist for a good buy on a starter buggy, but If I don't find one by mid-end of summer, I will begin building my own.

While I wait, might aswell spec out one if I was to build it. I got the Buggy Bug and am pretty hooked. :mrgreen: :mrgreen:


Thanks, Evan

warrior is the best bang for your buck. Ecotec and all the trimmings fit nicely in this frame too.

Is there a site for Predator frames? Or is it just by call?

Whooo, those are a lot more than the Berrien ones. :shock:

I think I'm either going to go with the Stalker or the Warrior :mrgreen:

Keep in mind I believe the Predator price is with a torsion, all the tabs, shift box, tree bars, race brace, x brace bumper and about anything else you would need. All these things add up quickly on a berrian.

Stalker is hands down the best looking of the 3 imho but they all will work great .
