Frequently asked questions about the MINI-BEEP
®
Amphibious ORT
What would you call the MINI-BEEP; an ATV, a UTV... What?
The MINI-BEEP Amphibious ORT is a totally new and unique outdoor vehicle!
It’s exactly what it’s name says...
MINI-BEEP - 4/5 scale version of a World War II JEEP®; [4WD or 2WD].
Amphibious - Can enter and maneuver in calm water.
ORT - Serves the function of a compact “off-road truck”.
NO, it won’t go screaming down a trail or try to jump a river like an ATV. It wasn’t designed to do that,
rather it’s a serious off-road truck that can take on a variety of pushing, pulling and swimming assignments... but
after work, it’s just plain FUN!
How big is the MINI-BEEP?
It’s approximately 99” long x 48” wide x 37” high (at top of dash). It weights approximately 700 lbs. (weight
can vary greatly due to grade of plywood used in its Body and in the Accessories installed). It can carry a pay-
load of 350 lbs. (weight of operator and load).
Can I buy it fully assembled?
The MINI-BEEP is designed to be “HOME BUILT” by the Do-it-Yourselfer and is only offered as a
STRUCK-KIT.
What’s a STRUCK-KIT
®
, and what’s in it?
#1000 Plywood Body Group KIT: Every plywood panel you need to build your MINI-BEEP Body is included
and accurately computer cut. All pilot holes for Body assembly and later mounting of Accessory KITS are precisely
drilled.
#2500 & 2750 - Mechanical Drive Group KITS: All the “drive parts”, plus every nut, bolt, washer and screw
required for complete KIT assembly and adjustment are included. Nothing else to buy for your Mechanical Drive
assembly. #2500 Group is [2WD] two wheel drive; #2750 is [4WD] four wheel drive.
#4000 - Engine & Tires Group KITS: Engine is fully assembled and ready for installation in your MINI-BEEP
Body. Tires are mounted to rims and inflated... ready to bolt to your BEEP’s front and rear Axle Hubs.
How long will it take to build a MINI-BEEP if I build it just with your KITS?
That’s a tough question. It depends on the skill level of the builder and whether they have a helper or not.
If you have average DIY skills and have an equally talented helper, you should be able to make your first MINI-
BEEP test run after 3 or 4 weekends of work.
Do you offer assistance if I have problems assembling my MINI-BEEP?
With a MB80A Body Plans & Assembly Manual that has over 150 pages of step by step instructions and
more than 250 detailed assembly photos, we find folks have very few questions. But if you have a specific as-
sembly question with any of our STRUCK- KITS, we offer an “800 number” that you can call and get help.
Any special licensing?
Though the MINI-BEEP is not designed for highway travel, each State and Municipality may have its own
unique regulations that folks are responsible to honor. If you have questions, it’s suggested you contact your
local authorities. See “Very Special Note” on page E10 regarding the Coast Guard’s classification of a MINI-
BEEP (amphibious vehicle) as a “home-built amphibious vehicle requiring only a Hull Identification Number”.
