I am 6' and no problems fitting in them. Their cages are pretty good sized. Newline (the Mfg.) admits that they are a little under powered for the sand. They have a cyntrifical (?sp) clutch and the motors are under powered. Right now they can't pull a paddle tire in soft sand.
They are doing a new Kawasaki 250 (maybe 125) four stroke that they are going to put in the karts next to over double the h.p. with that, they will be able to pull a set of paddles no problem.
Don't know of any problems with them at all. They build these things for heavy abuse.

I've seen a couple vids of those things in action. They look like a blast. I tried searching for the vids but the link wasn't working.
Have fun.

I was outside of our shop the other night and one of the guys put a pallet in the parking lot. They were hitting the pallet full speed and it didn't do anything wierd. It just went up and over the pallet and didn't bang the driver around at all. :) I have been thinking of getting one of these things, just havent pulled the trigger yet. :cool:
