Buggies
I was wondering if someone could help me. I would like to either build a buggy from pre-manufactured parts or a buggy complete . I have seen VTT
mentioned? I would only need the buggy for Cruising on soft sand . I appreciate any information.

I live in Long Beach NY. I have been bugging on beach a couple of years on a wide axle peter lynn folding buggy ! I want to increase my time hopefully
with a big wheel setup. Also I was wondering if anyone had had experience with the sysmic dune buggy? But I am handy and thanks for the popeye site !
I will check it out just wondering if it pays to buy all separates and assemble? Thanks for help !

You would probably pay more to buy parts separate except if you are doing some sort of custom setup for the wheels. It is almost always cheaper to
get wheels and tires off of a golf cart or something instead of buying buggy specific wheels. Although your mileage may vary because there isn't much
better for a bigfoot setup than some Beach Racers from what I hear.
