I might have a chance to buy a single seater this fall from a good friend. I've never driven the single seater before. What are the differences in handling on trail and hills? Those that have singles what would you add or change?

Some pro's :
Nobody to bitch at your driving
Don't have to worry about rolling with somebody else in the buggy
Stop only when you have to pee :roll:
Hp to weight ratio a little better

Some con's :

Will try stupid climbs because nobody to bitch about your driving, :lol:
Nobody else can drive you home after the jar becomes mysteriously empty :roll:
You get mud on both arms and shoulders
You can't say here hold my beer for a second
Have to talk to your self
And the worse thing of all is no beer tender. Passenger is always the beer tender.

I will be keeping the two seater for the boy to drive and maybe the wife to ride. Debating on entering the hill climbs if I get the single seater. All depends on the outcome of the lawsuit and if I get any money from it.

I have to argue that point. I have one of the baddest and proven two seaters here in bama and know it wont shake a stick at my SS. I feel way safer and the buggy is way more stable on a hill than my 2 seater. I built the SS for the comps because my 2 seatger wouldnt hang. After building it and learning how to drive it, I dont even enjoy the 2 seater anymore. Its just not as fun.

you never feel "out of shape" in a single seater on a hill or (when racing) hammering through a corner and your inside tires are 2 feet off the ground, you barely feel it. Alot more stable, but gets boring talking to yourself, I have already heard all your damn stories!!! :mrgreen:
