Is it the same thing? I saw that at the sand show. It looks like a nice little car Desert Dynamics ripoff), but I couldn't see owning a car with a CVT trans. Thats what turned me off with those cars. You think the drone of a RHINO is bad.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spooner Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 X-man IMHO i would rather buy a used US of A made buggy . Right now the market is in a low; there are some great deals out there. China grossly disregards US copyrights :chug: ... btw just as a side note of how i feel about anything China made ; i just got myself a "new" sheet metal bender... 3000+lbs of good old American steel made by Chicago Dries& Krump. most likely the bender is a lot older then myself ....and i spend 3 days cleaning, greasing and painting....i spend about the same $$ for it as you would pay for a brand new China knockoff....but this bender will last me another 50+years and it will actually bend the rated thickness without cracking and falling apart like my last China bender (i guess sheet metal is a little thinner in China then over here ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, that's a different buggy, but it's also built in china..... Edited February 5, 2008 by Yoshi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeDuner Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 I would strongly discourage the purchase of one. $25,000 buys alot of used sandcar in this market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
