The Stinger!

I almost bought one of these a few weeks ago. It is a beast of a machine, driven by a Kohler engine. The frame on them was massive. The weak spot, and the thing that kept me from buying it was the brakes setup. Not sure what these guys were thinking but they put a two pedal brake system on it. A left and a right pedal that doesn't control the front and rear brakes but instead the left rear or the right rear brake! Now think about this. You're going down a wooded trail. You need to hit the brakes fast. You stomp on the pedal and accidentally only hit the left one. Cuts you right into a tree!

Otherwise, very cool machines and very heavy duty.

that buggy looks like its for rock climbing. the brake system is for turing in awkward positions. its very hard to explain

Very cool machine...might still go get one if the price gets even better. would have to fab a real brake system though.
