I am currently planning a buggy build with an 1835cc or 1915cc engine with a 5 or 6 rib trans with 15'' wide v-treads. I am wondering which frame is better and will last longer for my riding style. I ride in Trevorton and St.Clair. I do hill climbs mostly, but I also do jumps and wheelies. I am fairly new to buggies and want to learn more about them. Any information would help.

Forgot to add that my brother and dad have buggies with warrior frames and they do hills too.

If you are building a 4 seater, I really like the SandFox frame. It keeps a small wheelbase and high side rails.
If you are building a 2 seater, I really like the Warrior frame. It is much easier to add bracing to a warrior frame.

Stalker frame hands down. It is designed with the roll cage in compression unlike most others that use the loop design that can easily fold up in a rollover.

All frames are good in my opinion. It all has to do with how they are built . Bracing in the right places . And suspension is key. U want a soft ride. I've seen junk buggies that are set up right out clime a 30 grand buggy. So my opinion is how the buggy is built not so much as what frame. There is every frame in our group and they all do very well. 2 Cobra. 2 Venture. Home made. Stalker. 2 worriors . Just my 2cents oh and tires . Stones or boggers

Isn't that Kyle's old buggy? If it is, it's not a stalker, it was built buy Dusenbuggy http://www.manta.com/c/mt1jphd/dusenbuggy-s-unlimited based off the stalker.

Next buggy I buy will be a Stalker for sure. Must have an A brace and X brace. The Stalker I have now, is I think, 14 years old with 15-16 bad roll overs and it's still holding up. I have cracked some welds and bent probably everything on it, but the most damage I did to myself when rolling was a ammo box came loos and hit my leg.

Search hillaholic on youtube and you can see what I've put my Stalker through.

Dusenbuggy is currently building a new style frame. It's kinda different than I'm use to but it's cool.
