Our Under the Hood coverage from the Worlds takes a closer look at Erik Lykke’s Agama N2.
The Agama is one of the most distinctive-looking buggies on the grid. Erik’s car also features several interesting Trackside Performance option parts that caught our attention.

Trackside Performance details
The first part we noticed was the centre differential mount top plate. It also attaches to the throttle servo, providing additional support to help reduce flex under heavy braking.
Erik is also running a one-piece engine mount with a forward extension designed to stiffen the chassis.
Another interesting detail is the lower shock attachment plate, which mounts to the suspension arm from above rather than from the side.
Suspension and drivetrain
Those shocks are certainly laid down!
Looking beyond the Agama’s distinctive shock arrangement, Erik’s setup shares some ideas with other cars we’ve examined at the Worlds. The upper links are mounted high, with the aim of lowering the roll centre and reducing the jacking effect.
Erik is running CVA driveshafts, contrasting with the universal driveshafts we’ve seen on several other buggies during our coverage.
