Took this one just before loading it into the trailer. Ran it up and down the street. Runs really good with the manual valve body. Spinning all four on pavement is no problem at all. Really a blast to drive but super loud. Neigbors dont like me for sure now!

The breakline trail would be a good trail to try your rig out Dean.Good bunch of people too.I went up last fall and run the trail,had a god time.Nothing super hard on the main trail,but there's stuff off to the sides to try. Rue Just read up on the run. I think its a great cause and its close to my heart since losing my father to cancer in december. As long as nothing big happens between now and saturday I will be at there. I hope that we have a great turnout and everyone generously donates to this great cause! Im looking forward to meeting everyone and trying my first trail with the new buggy!

I've been looking for an army tank to just park next to the garage... a Deuce and a half I think would have about the same effect.... I keep meaning to build that pulse-jet too.... haha sorry for the thread jack. I'd love to make it out this weekend, just entirely too much on the go

To help me plan for the run can someone tell me how long the trail is and what's the pace of the run? Runnin only one tank of propane so I want to know if I should take a second. Also since its a break in run I may have problems and I don't want to be miles away from the trailer.
I also wonder if there will be a lot of kids at the run ? The buggy is very very loud and I don't want to upset anyone or ruin the the event.

buggybuild my test run for the truck was the vally crawl. Im sure it will be fine for its first run. I would bring a second tank and leave it in the tow rig. as for it being loud im sure it is fine. i had no complaints about how loud mine was. at least not to me.

the run will start and end in the area you leave your trailer. (this is also where we will rpobably station the bbq etc. dont worrie about the noise we like it lol but i dont know how long you can run your rig on propane. i would expect atleast 3-4 hours to run it.
with only a few jeeps we do it in probably under 2 hours but it takes a while with longer with a bunch. Im pumped for the run cant wait to see your rig!!!

The buggy is very very loud and I don't want to upset anyone or ruin the the event. A couple of hours tops, depending on how much we stop to play, I would think 1 tank would be enough, but bring an extra just to have it, Any problems I'm sure we can get you out one way or another, If we can get you turned around it's all downhill...lol...
