Sandcar, if the current boat motor is adequate. Boat motor if the current sand toy is adequate.

That's a tough one. If you already have a boat that runs and the choice is to go faster or to have a complete new toy, then I'd go with the sand buggy eek! (?). I don't even know what they're called !! None of them up here, but they look like they would be a ****ing blast. :cool:

Its going into a 22ft stealth Jet.. Ive never heard of a quad rotor going on a jet before?How do u think it would do? My buddy just built a sandcar last year with a twin turbo northstar v8.. I think hes running 750HP in his car.. The thing is freakin unreal to drive.. Hey BIGTYME how come your not sure about Playtech? I was also looking at predator sandcars also..Check out the motor in this Mofo

Buy the buggy minus engine set up for a big block.
Buy the quad rotor and switch them out as necessary.

http://www.***boat.com/image_center/data/500/497Ultra_orange_21-med.JPG SVO540 had a 22 Cole with 900hp(?) with a jet, it was a waste of motor, I drove the boat and did not care for it.
Buy a cat(25 to 27ft) and put that motor in it and you will love it.

What's the cost of the sandbuggy and the quad rotor motor?

HammerDown
07-13-2003, 05:52 PM
Sand Car!
Chances are that motor (could) be toast in a short time anyhow.

Go for the buggy. Heres a couple of pics of my new buggy going together. Funco Big 5, Generation 4. First Gen 4 to roll out the door. Powered by 450HP Turbo Subie 2.5. Should be done this week. :D http://www.glamisdunes.com/photopost/data/500/914bohica_1.jpg

Man that is sweet Bohica.. My wife really loves the desert and is just ok with going to the river.. Shes really pushing to get a sandcar. Thanks for the replies and ill keep you guys posted smile_sp

One thing to think about, how big is your current toy hauler? You have to get that buggy to the desert. Maybe a good argument if you're leaning towards the quadrotor.

Tell ya what. I'll trade you your boat and the buggy for my boat. In other words GET THE BUGGY. You already have a boat, this way you have toys for both seaons (desert and river).Take a look at Alumacraft, they build some awsome sandcars and they're local.
