I am not messin with the reaction at all. I am really disappointed with the whole craftsmanship and parts in general on this machine. I rode it for a whopping 3 hours and came home with a flat tire, bent front suspension, and back pains like you wouldnt believe. In my opinion, this buggy is worth a heck of a lot less than I paid... I am unloading it as soon as I fix the bent front suspension... I have my sights set on a beast in the near future, so we'll see what the future brings!!!


If anyone is interested in cheap brand new buggy with no issues except it is cheap, I am selling it for 1500 firm. I'm loosing a few bux off it, but oh well. I guess I expected a little too much from the new design...

Hope it all works out for you.

I heard a few rumors of new buggies and such coming out and I want to get on a bandwagon, or at least be in front of one!!! lol

So I got my cavas side panels back today. Im still waiting on the hood piece. Held it up to the dune....it will look really good. Here is a photo of the moc ups. I used two layers of black canvas on the final product. It will have snaps mounted to the frame and be able to sanp on or off. Nice and easy to clean too.

Frame is being painted so i will post pics of final product when I have it on the kart.

RMB,
Was that a smart arse comment?

If you really want some, I made stencils for all of it. I can send them to you. You just have to cut and have someone sew it. I pd a lady at my work 100 to sew it all together and put the snaps in.

I will send you some pics of the finished set up once I have it all.

Yeah monk I got a few pix 4 ya. I gotta tell ya that shock setup (arctic-front,blaster-rear) was fantastic for my riding area. I actually felt like I need more power and speed, because the terrain was a non-issue, other than big rocks. Anything that was remotely flat or with small whoops I just mashed the gas. It was kind of comical if you watched me from a distance, constantly getting out of my cart to check for damage., (i've cracked my swingarm in 3 places) because I haven't come close to hitting whoops that fast, and seeing that much air, not to mention the hard cornering. The bad news is I might smoked my clutch, but I'm too tired to check, I rode all day sunday with record temp of 105. It's too early for 105, in august will see 110-116, with 84 morning low , but too early for 105. Anyway here are some pix.
