Question About Buggies
 
I just have a question. Can buggies do wheelies at all or at least have any wheelspin? I m just wondering. Thanks for any help

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.

4 wheel wheelspin, and "overcrest" rizes, and ocationaly, backflips... but wheelies? Nope, never seen that.. center of gravity is to low, and offcourse the differentals are there to keep things moving smoth...
