After a little over a year of riding I have really enjoyed this buggy. It has tons of power, is built like a tank, and doesn't break. I really don't need to sell it. But every time I'm out riding I just wish I was with my daughter instead and I've decided that its time to adjust my life around a little. I don't know if I'm getting out of the game permanently or just need to tone it down some. But I am 100% certain that I am no longer into the type of wheeling that this buggy was built for so its time to throw it out there and see what happens. Please note that I will be riding this while it is for sale. So it may not be washed and waxed if you come see it.
What this buggy is: A 5400lbs tank built to be relentlessly beaten without blinking. In that it is a successful build. I have broken nothing since the initial build. It sits very low, probably one of the lowest rockwell rigs you'll ever see. As such it is insanely stable. I have pulled up on steep hill that people in front of me rolled down, done a rear-steer turnaround, parked it sideways, all without feeling remotely unstable. On many obstacles it will just stock to the rocks like Spiderman. My buddy told me one time he was spotting me that I got the most sideways he has ever seen any rig get without rolling. I have never been able to roll it sideways.
What this buggy IS NOT: A light-weight SRRS racer that you are going to go out and dominate the competition with. If you are looking for a race car, keep looking. (Although it really does like to go fast!)
$35,000, I'm not taking offers at this time, please don't bother. No trades. Located in Milton, FL.
Email [email protected], I'm happy to answer questions. We can exchange phone numbers if you're serious.
This is a pic of it when I first built it during a photo shoot with the blue angels.
These were from a few weeks ago / as it sits now:
Sorry my ugly mug is in there with it.
