dune buggies anyone?

Hammerhead Product details page

just purchased one of these from a local dealer. and this is probably the most fun i have ever had! this thing could probably take 2 people up a hill at 60mph. anyone else on the forum into go kart or buggy racing? im looking for some courses/trails in central colorado. heard of an awesome one up in greeley.

 

I got this about a year ago. Been one of my favorite toys I ahave ever owned. Traded a 4 wheeler for it that I never used. Since then, I have made it street legal and done a lot of safety and cosmetic upgrades. There wasn't much more that could be done performance wise. I have seen speeds up to 93mph and got scared and slowed down (front end has no weight and it was quite scary and awesome) VW bug engine and a VW bus transmission. Let me know what you think!!

When I bought it, June of last year.







December




Now!!

 

i was looking into getting one of those, on craigslist you can get some great deals on em. i decided to go new though you never know how a used one will hold up. that thing looks awesome im sure it beats the hell out of mine.

 

Just different. They are completely different animals. I live the VW route because they are easy to work on and parts are cheap. I bought an entire beetle for $500 and have used parts off it for over a year now.

I will beat you in top speed but I bet yours is A LOT more maneuverable. And both are totally cool! Yours was cheaper in the end too. And probably has a warranty. Mine looks like something off grand theft auto though.

 

This is seriously cool.

 

yeah this thing can spin donuts like crazy.

 

How are you liking your new toy? Getting out to use it as much as you had hoped?
