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
spooner Posted February 5, 2008 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

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