Default RE: Question About Buggies

Sorry, but buggies dont wheelie. they WILL spin the tires pretty easily, even on pavement. I have close to 3hp in my buggy, and it wont wheelie, but it will spin the tires all day. I can get the front wheels off the ground and keep them up for about 5 feet by hitting the throttle just as I clear the top af a small bump in my track, but I have to time it just right.

Most buggies also have a center differential. This makes wheelies even harder, because the diff sends too much power to the front wheels when they start to leave the ground.
