The only problem you have to watch with these is is the plate the drive system sits on can be weak. The one we had needed to have a corner welded back. Was fine after that.

If they do that they will make a fortune provided they can keep the costs down. The biggest thing I hear from people is them frowning upon the china stuff. I have had much better luck I guess. The roketa that I had was the only clunker out of the deal.

I agree. The SpiderBox I had was actually probably the best built yerf they ever made. I have had several of the earlier ones. I am trying to get my hands on a carter that is really a great machine that I have never seen before. Like one of their first mini buggies powered by an 11hp tecumseh.

the mid size carts will be the first off the line, then the 150 followed by the 250 and 300. when i went over there they had part of the assembly line set up for a dry run.
They are redesigning everything, but wont tell what they will look like. I did see a drawing of a proto type rzr looking machine. that is going to be cool. engines will range from 250-600 |

What do you mean mid sized? Isn't that what the 150's are?
