| Post subject: | Woodsbugg vs RZR Technical Riding |
Hey guys im going to build a buggy very soon, ive been looking at videos of technical riding, didnt see a lot of woodsbuggy but sure did see RZR, They seem to pass about everywhere in the videos. Would a buggy be able to follow them? I know the RZR are 50" width and buggies 70" around. I am asking this question because since very few people have buggies here, i will be riding with RZR and quads and my buddies who have dirtbikes. I also love technical woods riding, i would just hate not being able to go to places because im too wide! Also to have the right to go in ATV trails i need to be 60" wide max. But i also want the highest ground clearance! Thanks guys, lets hear what yall have to say! Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk |

Most of your woods buggys are 80 +++ I got both and love them both but i feel if the buggy has the room it would go where the rzr won't go ..They both got there place in the woods that's for sure . |

Both SxS and Buggies are a lot of fun. However, they are very different. In my opinion, the largest difference is that the SxS has 4 wheel drive. Since the SxS buggies are smaller, they are going to be able to get through tight trails faster than a buggy. On the other hand, buggies have larger tires, longer wheelbase and more power, so bumps and steep hills will be easier in a buggy. If the places you want to ride has a width limitation, you CAN NOT build a buggy with a 50 or 60 inch Width. |

Alright thanks, makes sense! for the width limitation that is not a big problem but its 60" max. jesse wrote: Sounds like for all the things you wanna do you need a rzr not.

Thanks! |

I think narrow limits height with cv axles.. They only have so much angle. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |

Stock is junk at least go 3x3 get a lot of your ground clearance from your arms |

I go where i want in a buggy. If your trailriding,thereis always a way around an obstacle,plus what fun would it be just riding a wide open trail. Build a buggy and drive it like you stole it. |

Yeah, the only reason i was debating wether or not to build one is because i have a dirtbike already and that the rail would be pretty wide, i made my mind and im going to build it. Im going to buy a rig with all the parts i want and just put it on my single seater frame. - the only problem i see is that the tranny is nose shift and i would need a side shift, il have to make that work! thanks guys |

You can use nose shift. You will be happier with a rzr. If that's what your friends have. You will not have to work on it as much. But good luck , like I have said before. |

You can use a nose shift in a single seater have one in mine and most people do you just have to build your shifting rod back to it right |

I just don't want you to put a lot of money in it and quit. They are$$ to get a dependable buggy. You need to be mechanically inclined. You can learn a lot here on woodsbuggy. You would have been better off to buy one already going. That way you would know exactly in a seasons ride, what you wanted to change on your buggy. Imo your going in it blind , just hate to see people waste money and lots of time. You can do it and a buggy is lots of fun . Enjoy. I've been working on my one seater for 2 years and still not finished. It's the little stuff that adds up$$ |

I've been working on my one seater for 2 years and still not finished. It's the little stuff that adds up$$ Yeah i know thats why i was debating whether or not to buy/build one, my current intion was buying a already running 2 seater with all the good stuff (5rib,1915,3x3 arms, link pin with 4x1 arms, fox shocks all around, 930cvs.. Ect ect for 5k) Right now i got time on my hands to build it, to be honest i wasnt sure if wanted one or not for a long time, but there are trails here which are perfect for my dirbike and then big open atv trails which i would be able to go with a buggy, another good reason is because i love building and modding, adding stuff, electronics ect. Also here we have winters with lots of snow, so we i would ride with it during the winter. But yes its going to be expensive but hey whats cheap these days! Thanks!
