Does anyone have any experiece with this one or for around $3000 know of something better?

 

No Dave, I dont have any info on it, but it sure does look like a lot of fun. I wouldn't mind having one of those myself.

 

If you have a Tractor Supply near you, they carry that type and larger. Might take a look at what they have just for info.

 

^this guy reads my mind...

 

I mean, chit, who WOULDN'T want to play on this:



Hours, apon hours of GREAT fun.

 

with that big slice of land, you could pick up a Polaris Ranger, or a Rhino.

JUST be in the UTV with him. That way you both have a play toy.

 

do you seriously think i am buying it for him

his birthday is in September, i plan to buy it and store it till then and then surprise him on his birthday , but it is really for both of us. depending on how loud it is i might use it when i take him dear hunting this year. ( he hunts, i dont,)
the land is awsome, 360 wide 1650 feet long and then another peice that is 60 ft wide x ??? to connct it to the road. it is on river so we plan to have a lot of familey fun there. they already got a 4wd diesel mule.

 

When I was in college the automotive/engineering guys got to build single seat versions of this thing... I kinda helped a couple friends a little with theirs, and so I got wring it out once it was built... WHOOOOOO! that was some fun...

Maybe I need one those for my 302...

 

oh snap-age.

....A dune buggy?

That sounds like fun too .

 

 

My nephew has one from www.bestpriceatvs.com and it has been excellent with the exception of the battry will not hold a charge.

I ordered one for my daughter from www.familygokarts.com. They have great costumer service; I should get it next Friday. Both of these places seem to have really good prices.

I would recommend checking the dimensions to make sure it is big enough. My nephews 150cc is barely large enough for me at 6'2" 240lbs.

 

thanks huddles, those are great websites

 

Not exactly cut out for anything other than pavement, but how's about one of these!

 

I'll throw my opinion in there.

It's either for him, or for you. Try sitting in one of those. I certainly can't fit in one. I've tried! Im 5'11" 220LBS.

Get somthing like this instead:


It will last longer than a puny, yet cool looking go-kart.... and you can drive it too right beside him.

Just my two cents.

 

I want a sand rail so bad I cant stand it!!!!

I seen one driving around town not to long ago that had 2 bucket seats in the front and a bench in teh rear.... I oculd even cruise with the family in it!!!! So far eevrytime I find one, wife gives me the (that or boat) ultimatium, we cat affird both with kids..... but as soon as they leave!!!!!!!!!!
