You will find most good plans aren't free:rolleyes:

This is a really simple one but its Free. Maybe at least for a start or idea.

yeah, ive been looking at the off road buggy plan and it looks a little to hard and more money for me right know.

The DIY looks like i can diff do it but it looks gay lol. Is their any programs i can use to make a model and render of it?

Thanks

There are many but most arent free.:(

Some may have a free trial you can download. I am sure others will chime in here. Possibly solidworks, inventor, or alibre design software. Good luck.
