Default looking to upgrade

my wife brothers have recently got me into kartin'/buggying and i started w/an old manco vector fox. i am now looking to upgrade to a 150. i've been looking at a baja dune 150 and a yerf dog gx 150. does anybody have any suggestions? also how are the carter bros. 150s? thanks.

out of those three the carter would be the better choice imo. the yerf front end will need some work to handle much more than the yard, like hd ball joints, spindle, hubs. those can get expensive.

the dune is ok, but the spidles are weak and turning radius is a bit large, and shocks are a pain to find, the stock shocks are really bad
