He hey guys, I have two Buggies, I've owned my Spiderbox for about 2 months now and love it, I've somewhat upgraded the front end (BDX spindles, 19" wheels, new shocks all around) all there is to do now really is get some BDX ball joints, work on getting the steering geometry correct (outside wheel has more angle than the inside one during turns in either direction), do a couple mods to the engine, and get better wheels for the back.
I expect to probably dump about $250.00 more to get it all done. (paid $300.00 for it with broken spindle).
A couple weeks ago I just got a Tomberlin Crossfire 150, Yellow version with no reverse, It's stock with no mods, runs good, only 3 of the tires hold air right now, they all have a little dry-rot. It also needs a new passenger seat, seat belts, kill switch, and paint job. I got a good deal on it, trading for a lesser go kart (manco intruder).
I love driving the Spiderbox, but the steering can be improved a little (it's a lot better with the bigger ATV wheels on it now).
The Crossfire has much better stock steering but the seat is not adjustable and I'm a tad cramped in it.
I would love to keep both of them, money is not the problem. But a friend of mine has a Manco intruder 2 that he paid full price for about 2 years ago (I think around 1800+). It can't keep up with either of the buggies I have and he wants to sell the Manco and buy the Crossfire or the Spiderbox off of me.
Which one is the better Buggy to keep in this situation?
