The names on many of these buggies are just that. Most are all built by a handful of companies in China. I don't know of anyone running one but if you want to be safe go with a name that other are running and you can get a lot of feed back,

Also parts can be a problem for less popular brand if it's not compatible

He's in Australia. Here's a link to what I think he is looking at. Looks kinda like a hammerhead but can't tell for sure.

Well, I've never heard of Foxico. I couldn't even find that much on them on them when I Googled them. I would recommend a Carbide, but I don't know how hard it would be to get one of those in Australia.

From what I can see of it it does look alot like the Hammerhead and I definitely like the fact that it comes equipped with a performance type exhaust which saves a big chunk of change come modding time. I had that same exhaust on one of my previous buggies and it had a nice tone and worked well. Overall from what I see it looks to be well built.

It'a a hammerhead or carter with the frame design switched up a bit to give it distinction from the other brands but basicaly the same machine. Most likly made at the same factory, using the same componets. Typical chinese tactics. The componets used are the standard factory stuff found in most all the major brand buggys out there. Parts shouldn't be a problem. I would be more concerned about the dealer track history as far as warranty issues. Check to see what kind of parts inventory the dealer keeps in stock. ASK to see it! This is always a good indicator of the dealer's credibility. A bonified brand dealer/ distributor is required to keep an X amount in inventory. the others will lie. If this is a interent only type of sale ,odds are you will get F###ed on warrantry issues. There is no performace exhaust on these shown. The front page shows a upgraded bling scooter muffler on a stock pipe. The inside pics show a stock howett exhaust. Out of curiousity what's the price converted to US dollars? $2500. more or less in US would be a decent price for a new unit. $3,000 or over ? you could do better for the money.
