Dont know anything about them, but got to say with that motor that things gotta scoot!

Pretty cool.

The 570 exciter hit around 90mph, with correct tuning and the pipe that went right by your ears (think of it as a cobra system, 2inches from ear), it could go up to 100.

I have a 700 efi engine to drop in if I ever get one. =)

Wow! I want on! 100 mph would be insane in one of thoes things! I would kill myself, no doubt in my mind.

My LT Pilot gets 75mph, its so funny that my 20yr old machine goes like nuts and some of the newer stuff with larger engines cant keep up.

I saw these at a Baja 1000 race, and was in love.

Have you thought about building one yourself?

tubular frame...aftermarket rhino shocks...it's not completely impossible, I'd just think of it as a big gokart

Ive built rails before, but this thing is not copyable. Many on the minibuggy/dezert sites I post at have tried. The car was perfect except for the exhaust.

I made my FL350, into a LT, 700cc powered buggy that beats the 85/86 250r's with ease, lol. Beat my Pilot too.

Its just one of those things that I would love to have for the sentimental aspect. This si what got me into offroading.
