It's time to sell the dune buggy. Now that it works
perfectly I no longer have time to use it. I also have too many
other projects and not enough time or money so this has to go.
On these pages you will find detailed information about this dune
buggy. I purchased this buggy back in 1996 and ended up
rebuilding it from the ground up. I pushed it hard in sand woops
and hills. When something broke I made it better than it was so
it would not break again AND I modified my driving habits so as not to
repeat the stress that broke it in the first place.
This buggy runs fast and stable. Climbs sand hills like nobody
else - fast! Goes through the woops as fast as some dirt bikes -
don't over do it though because the woops can get deep really quick and
you could hit hard!
