Default sand buggy

Hee is a quick shot of my son's sand buggy. 954 Honda, chrome molly chassis, completely designed on cad, our own rear end and stub axels, 4340 heat treated.

It weighs 825 with 250# driver. It's probably the fastes off road thing I've ever driven. It's no funny car for speed but it can really go off road. We've had it up to 105 on a single lane trail that you can't go 20 in a truck. It has a corrected speedo and GPS. It will get to about 85 in a 100 yds. I drove a circle around a Rino on our mini road race course.

It will do a burn out with the best of them, and I've gone thru 1st,2nd and half of 3rd with the front wheels a couple feet in the air on pavement.

It is just plain mean. haha

The next one will have a 'Busa for those into sand machines.

I'll have a full picture set when we put it back together after painting.

I tried to add a picture but it failed.
