Rat Dune Runner

Latest picture of the "Photo Buggy". With the unfinished pipe perhaps it should be "Rat Runner". :D Current power is a OBR 30.5 Prostock with a VRC Big Bore pipe and 8k clutch. The Prostock will become a 7.5hp Full Mod Zenoah 30.5cc 4 Bolt LOSI Engine - Billet Crankcase via a upgrade.


Hopefully the MT/Dunerunner driveline will handle the crazy power! :rolleyes:

It gets going for sure! Since I shot this video there was about a week of 50+MPH winds which blew all the sand somewhere east of here. Now my backyard track is marbles on hardpan. :(

But, next week we're headed to the lake, and some good dirt, I might even be able to use paddles!

X2! I haven't noticed any undue wear of the cups, or anything else with the Prostock, so...

Only thing I have noticed is the rear drive shaft rubbed on the bottom of the Zenoah engine, creating a groove in the case. The engine and clutch line up correctly, so the Zenoah case must be thicker then the stock one. When I drop the engine off at OBR I'll point this out so they can put a groove in the billet case to clear the drive shaft.

kinda off topic but doesn't anyone else in the house complain when you bring your car inside? mine stinks the entire house up with petrol, even when the tank is empty. :confused:

You guys are lucky. My family won't even let me bring them in the house. They have to stay in the barn or garage.
haha, you're not alone.

whenever i need to work on my car, i usually wait until everyone goes to sleep and then sneak it into the basement. :D

To keep the fuel smell down, I leave the tank cap off for a couple hours with the buggy on the back porch sitting in the sun.

Worrying about someone stealing a buggy, yeah, I lost a GPS from my truck last year. The alarm went off, but by the time I got out of bed and out the door, they were gone. Other people have lost buggy's when the garage was broken into.

Best thing is "Out of sight, out of mind."
