And some older pics:

I've been in this little machine and also watched it perform at IXR this year and it is such a cool little buggy. What a great deal on a proven comp rig!

most people dont know this but this buggy won the biggest payout in rock crawling history (more than most make in a year) this is a proven buggy and is a riot to wheel. I spot for it in Idaho this year and this is one of the most stable vehicles I have ever seen perform.
