Most all buggy in this class will fit in the back of a full size pickup bed. A lot of folks use ramps to load.
Alteration to the Constant Velocity Transmission won't effect reliability or dependability. Basically the changes you would make to the cvt makes the buggy more user friendly for the type of riding you choose. These modifications are the easiest and cheapest. This would be the first stage. Second stage focuses more on developing more horse power out of the motor. There you get into the problem of reliability with aftermarket carbs, exhaust and other components of the motor it's self. you understand the concept of power equals problems, this motor is no different.
The stock exhausts on these things is extremely restrictive. Unfortunately the way to gain a large amount of power is to open the exhaust up. three choices here
1. gut the stock exhaust by drilling some holes in the muffler around the exit pipe to allow more flow.Not the best but better than nothing and no cost.
2nd replace muffler with a straight through supertrap type. These have baffled tips that can be tuned for a balance between noise and power, better and not a budget killer.
3rd a complete tuned header system. VeryPricey but extremely effective in producing horsepower. the best HP for the buck item you can buy for a buggy.
Unfortunately all these changes have an effect on decibles. #1 being the worst as far as a obnoxious sound. #2 would be my choice if there could be noise complaints.#3 has a very low toned pitch that doesn't carry far until you step hard on the gas.
Any changes in exhaust will effect jetting. so plan on re jetting and an aftermarket air filter system if you choose to alter the exhaust. The air filter has to be changed out for a high volume type that allows more air flow. Because your allowing more flow out of the motor you have to provision for more air flow in. The start of that additive cycle!!!!! sometimes it's best just to leave well enough alone until you decide what you want to do
