- Chinese Dune Buggy top speed Rips the trails and sets a new land speed record of 70MPH!! I go over how it was built and some engine specs (800cc) and where it came from. If you have ever wondered what a dune buggies top speed is or wondered what 800cc dune buggies are like I can tell you they are awesome! Super fun! With the work I've done It could easily hang with the 1100cc Joyner sand viper or some RZRs.

I'll keep it MPH because were normal 😂😂😂 brilliant ✌
you probably dont give a shit but does someone know of a way to log back into an instagram account..?
I was stupid lost my login password. I appreciate any help you can give me!
@Tristen Bryce Instablaster =)
@Shiloh Jeffrey I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and I'm in the hacking process atm.
Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
@Shiloh Jeffrey It did the trick and I now got access to my account again. I am so happy!
Thanks so much you saved my account !
@Tristen Bryce No problem xD
That looks like a blast! I had a buggy years ago someone made out of a VW Bug. They removed the rear seat section to shorten it up and of course it had no body on it. The suspension worked great without the extra weight. (Rhyme not intended). The only problem was it was geared too high. I didn't have a place like you do to drive it so, into the woods! Worked awesome (in first gear only) until the clutch burned out. I noticed your 4th is pretty tall. My VW probably would have been right at home in that environment. It had a converted (barbecue grill) propane tank for the gas tank.
I miss that thing. (no, it was a Bug, not a Thing). :-) Great video. Thanks for sharing!! Great job on the engine. Sounds awesome!
I learned to drive in a Baja Bug. 😁👍
I started out driving a couple Chinese buggies and they were fun AF! I did Poison Spider Mesa in Moab Utah in a 400cc 2wd all the way to the top! Just like the $30k fancy sxs's do. I drive a high end sxs now but whatever offroad vehicle you can get your hands on I'm a fan of. Keep rippin!
problem is that "top end" SxS are north of 30K. for that money you can get custom built mini rock crawler based on Suzuki samurai or jimny paired to any motorbike engine you'd wish and would still be under 30K ...i'd gladly have one of those high end SxS's but for that price, hell no !
This is some awesome stuff right here! I see the influence of your uncle Marky in so many things that you do. Go RICK!!!! Thanks for the ride!👍🏼🤪
nutnboujee Thanks glad you liked it!
Oh what FUN! Felt like I was bombing those trails WITH you! 🙌. What a BLAST!!!! You’re a mechanical GENIUS!!!!
Clutch, gearbox!!!!! I'm sold on it. Love the sound of a triple, Laverdas especially.
--- down with the trellis frame design. Also your trail video triggered riding flashbacks, thanks.
DirtGearTv nice job on the mods you did to it especially sounds good not real loud, I purchased 1 from China before, and I modded mine a bit more then I would say you did to yours, I did modifications to the suspension and some up front, by that I mean adding some more structure braces to be able to bolt a winch into it and just not rip off the buggy when I use it, I also added a lot of bushings on it where I could, have a friend that works in a custom shop and he did up as many bushings as possible to put into this, It did make a big difference on the handling the ride and noise from it rattling around, The only thing I had a big problem was when I had a bearing go on the tranny, what a pain to try and fix that, had to make a special tool in my buddy,s shop on the cutter and it still was a nightmare to finally get it apart and fixed, I had a 3 cylinder also but mine was 3 or 4 years older then this 1 though so not sure if that made a difference or not , After the modding and that I did to the motor I was able to get 84 mph out of it on a good straight away, The only thing with mine is my buddy installed a hand clutch up on the wheel and a suicide shift like the old Harley.s because I am paralyzed and do not have the use of my legs and just behind me I also built a rack to hold my chair down when I am out tearing things up, But all said and done for the price I paid for this compared to my can-am I would buy another 1 which I am thinking on doing and converting it over to 4 wheel drive, But pricing for 1 of these and what you get out of them is fantastic compared to the price of a Polaris, Bombardier or a Yamaha is crazy you can most likely buy 3 of these and still be ahead on buying 1 Razor 1100, But great video you made of showing this off and what you did to it, Now I no I am not the only 1 out there that others think you are crazy for buying these, but they sure get surprised on the trail when You tear on by them, the look is priceless, I was trying to find out without any luck if you are able to buy a frame or rear axle things like that for these, if you are able to find out would be great if you could let me no, so great video thumbs to you, Bear.
Hey would you recomend buying one of these ? If so can you provide a link for the best price and what this is called bro ?
Where do u get parts from am after a transmission
Motor sounds awesome! But that rattling,it sounds like it is about to fall apart!
stage forge/Jon valve adjustment
@@deborahchesser7375 I wasn't talking about the motor. It sounds strong! It's the chassis that is rattling like crazy. Sounds like it needs every bolt tightened up from shipping!
@@jefrhi then I would weld the whole thing
I bought one. I love it although it began falling apart right away. I keep on going back to the shop for repairs, but the things is super cute!
Dry clutch no
Some older Geo metros had a 3 cylinder engine we had an auto and a manual as work cars. I was able to lift the engine out by hand when I swapped a new motor into it.
*"WE'RE GOIN' 70MPH!!!!"............when suddenly, a 9000yr Old Box-Turtle steps onto the trail............0.o*
lol
.....just one more bump in the road.
Great Job!!!
Great video, thanks for sharing! This buggy needs a CBR 1000 engine, that would be fun!
Only if all the side by side had a manual option too, that would be sick! Love the video
So where can I get one? Geo Storms had a 3cyl. I think that thing out performs a none modded vw buggy.
Well played dude.
This is really cool. I have had a couple Rzr’s but this looks cool. Bigger tires and body work would take it to another level.
I love the sound. Thats SWEEEET
I was thinking fix that rattle!
That is some beautiful trails where is it at?
One of the coolest Chinese buggy’s I’ve seen... I got me a nice one I’m customizing, engine is a 420cc predator only though. Nothing compared to that beauty you got there
Casper Hicks Thanks! The predator 420 is a great little engine for modifications, you can get that baby ripping good with some work 😆
Or you can upgrade to the 670. And get power mods from Go power sports or something and get crazy power. Lots of fun. Lots of killer builds of these little engines.
One thing I really think you would benefit from and something I would highly recommend doing, is to install turning brakes. There were several time I noticed it was pushing the front end in turns....nothing out of the ordinary, that's what turning brakes were designed to help fix. You could easily add turning brakes to that buggy....you just tap into the rear brake lines and when you use the pedal, it will operate as normal, but when you use the turning brakes, it will apply braking to only the left or right rear tire. For instance, If you want to make a left turn, you simply apply some turning brake to the left rear tire. To make a right turn, same deal, use a little right turning brake. You can get a single lever or twin lever turning brake handle(s). With the single lever you either push down or pull up. With the twin you either pull the left or right lever. Do a Google search and you will find several options.
Driving all of them. I definitely prefer a clutch on my offroad. I like to dump the clutch now and then.... always. That things cool.
Wow! I was actually anticipating junk! surprisingly better than I thought!
Glenn Oropeza The biggest “issue” with these kind of buggies IMO is the fit and finish. So if you’re handy and able to snug loose bolts they are surprisingly reliable 😆
Just found ur channel and wanted to know where I can find one of those I live in California
So where did you get it from and how much was it?
were is this at?
If the shocks are adjustable, turn the compression down a bit and turn the rebound up. It will soak up the whoops a little better and allow the wheels to return faster so you are less likely to have them come off the ground. You will probably be able to drive through them even faster.
Ok
Eu gotei muito de mais ok
Been looking to build my own X kart as they seem to be labeled these days and getting powerplants wasn't my issue. But having reverse was. I'm planning on building mine with a Honda Shadow Vtwin 600 and just think on using the reverse from a Goldwing.
V twins cruiser types are really low power vs displacement. Look at sporty bikes. Maybe not as much as a full on crotch rocket as they are really high rpm screamers with lower torque, but like a bandit or 750 nighthawk type bike.
Everything listed here.
www.motorcyclespecs.co.za
The reverse from a gold wing is just the starter running the motor backwards too. Not helping if your stuck so much.
@@jasonbirch1182 true. I figured on a Kart that's half the weight of an Actual GL, it may be a little better. There really aren't a lot of options out there, I'm finding. One that's good up to 18hp as a reverse gearbox at around $150. Or another that's good to 300hp but its $1500. Or the h/o starter ring gear reverse units. Mostly DIY.
@@TejasAutoSalonJasonW yeah not a lot of options besides making something. A dog engaged electric with chain gear reduction is a thought I've had. But really just bag the bike engine and throw an old Civic drivetrain in the back. It will be an animal and upgradable to the moon.
biggest issue for me with the 4 spd was gearing.. In ky you need a really low first or you will be bouncing around the woods at 20 mph. i got a roketa gk39 for my kids built for low end and it does great on hills even tho its like 500lbs.
Cool buggy man,
Enjoyable video
While it's definitely a sick little buggy it's so far from a rzr, x3, yxz, wildcat etc. Performance is almost not worth comparing to those. The biggest and most capability effecting difference is suspension. Obviously 4x4 would go a long way too but man the suspension makes all the difference. Love the manual with a 3 banger engine though that is cool as hell. I've driven a couple of these Chinese go cart/buggys and they are rough as hell on the bumps. Super fun though
Thank god it doesn't Klunk or rattle
Idk I’m into fabricating you have a nice rig but I don’t shred belts on my rzr. Most in our group have 1-2k miles on the oe belt. We have all four wheel to lock in a turbo and they love woops. High and low transmission and you can’t stall the engine. Don’t buy into the cvt robs power. I was sceptic also but I’m governed at 80mph and it hits real fast. The buggy is very streetable and controllable at low speeds. This is not a bash message but the shredder of a belt is almost always user error. Like 16yr old learning not to slip the clutch on your manual but only we don’t have to separate the transmission from the engine. Nor have a machinist turn the fly wheel. Great video and thx you for sharing your engine mods.
eric rush Hey thanks for your feedback!
Where can u find these buggys
Looks fun.
where did yu buy it?
I’ve had a 800cc 4 seat BMS buggy for 10 years its a blast and very affordable. I turbocharged it after breaking it in. 10 PSI and 100 octane fuel really wakes this engine up.
So how much is affordable??🤔
Hayden Colburn I paid $5800 for mine when new in 2009
That is honestly really awesome
I'm certain I saw this buggy or one exactly like it, at the Centennial Trailhead a few weeks back. First time out with my new Ranger xp. I was impressed with it. I loaded my ranger turned around and the buggy was off the trailer and gone. Never even heard it start up... was a bit disappointed not to have the opportunity to speak with the owner. Happy trails!
Geo metro and chevy sprint used those engines. I had a sprint that was even factory turbocharged. That little go cart of a car would get rubber in 4 gears!
Dan Wolf i had a metro wasn’t turbo but i loved that little car i live in pa and used to climb the mountains I would run it up to 6k in 3rd and do 55 mph it was a fun car to drive
I had an '86 Chevy Sprint back in the day. 1 liter 3 cylinder that got up to 55 mpg. The clutch was going out when my wife sold it for about what we paid...minus a set of tires.
@Daver GTo be fair I should have mentioned that was rolling out with the e-brake 3 clicks on. But yeah it would spin em until they popped.
where you bought this?
The Suzuki alto works 3cyl turbo engine would make this into a missile
I would use a Can Am 900 Turbo out of the X3 TurboR and put on the evolution powersports big bore kit, ported head & cam combo, Stage 7 big Turbo kit, and tune for 350-400 hp on E85
@@rovidbouski4022 That would be awesome, but lethal, lol. You'd have to carry giant balls of steel to go on that ride.
Ben, Gottago big!
Good to know not to familliar with 3 cylinder engines only seen 2 in person
@@rovidbouski4022 why not just turbo busa it?
Could you direct port that type of engine ,just curious if that would give you more hp?
Charles Webb I suppose it could be possible with a Ton of work. I took the simpler route and I just did an engine swap to EFI
Where are you running? Is it a private set of trails? Who makes it? Can we have a Ballpark idea on price?
What is up with the steering
How much does a buggy like this cost ?
Those motors were in what they called a sanfu buggy in the 80's
Sounds great,
Like your buggy... new subscriber
Lita Rosch Thanks, Glad your here!
@@DirtGearTv where did you get it I can't find it.
Where did you buy it?
link to buy Where are you riding
Where can I buy one of these
Where can I buy one of these??? anyone have a link??
That looks a lot like the Florida Panhandle. Am I close?
Where do I buy this?
The steering is about to fall apart hahahaha dam it sounds like the whole go carts falling apart 🤣 fun shit yer pants ride tho...aaaaaah cow!😱😆
where to buy?
Anyone know what brand this is ?
We can see it behind you and it's in the title. Not a big surprise!
what is the buggy called
Have you found that bucket of bolts rattling around in it yet?
2 funny
Great Video I to own the same buggy and would love to know who you use to get parts??? The one I have is a 4 seater and the same exact motor
What’s this thing called??? I would love to know
Gabe Kiakojori Roketa or Joyner
They range from 1-4 seats 250cc to 1100cc look up Go Karting America
(Goka) hope this helps
Luni Lunifyd THANKS!!
Luni Lunifyd Holy shit he’s not normal, he actually said the brand. This guy is a Alein
I’m going online right now and buying one!
Were did u get it is what I want to know!
can you tell the specific model of this dune buggy ?
Wish I knew...
Sounds like a couples cases of beer cans rolling around in that rig
I’ve got a wrecked 5 cylinder diesel motor and transmission on a 87 Mercedes that’s a manual I bet that would be beast to
Sell it to me
do u have a brand name on this buggy? Pretty cool vid. Thanks for sharing
all these dicks ever say is chinese buggy. They never give a brand name.
Just off hand I’d say it’s a stripped down ODE, had one had the China version of the Yamaha 700 5 valve engine in it yes it damn near did 70 if you could keep it on the road
What cc is it
You can get a 4 cylinder 1100 or 1500 cc engine 5 speed and street legal. My friend has a 1100 cc fuel injection and turbo it it's making 100 hp. With 29" tires. It hauls asa. I would buy it over rzr anyday.
This thing needs a goldwing motor. 100hp and as much torque before adding boost and likely half the weight of the 800
This may be a surprise. The Kawasaki (Japanese) FX PRO and the John Deere 825i use the same Chinese engine built by Chery, but they are fuel injected versions. My SxS has the 1100cc fuel injected version of this engine.
Hi there
What’s the brand of this buggy and where can you buy these
The brand and age of the original buggy are unknown. It was bought as a used and non-running wreck. That's already been discussed in the video and in these comments.
Totally frickin awesome!.....70mph....That is mind blowing.
I think so!
@@DirtGearTv that looked like way too much fun. You drove it like it's supposed to be driven too.........no doubt you have plans to make it faster....
wide awake Checkout some of my more recent videos. I’ve already done an EFI engine swap, suspension, and a bunch of others!
@@DirtGearTv ...... I'm on my way.......!
RZR's are nice, I just don't want to be the guy with yet another RZR like 92% of everyone at an offroad park. I've seen these buggies do amazing things! Sure they don't fly over whoops, but again, the RZR is designed like a mini trophy truck. I ride a 150cc chinese buggy. No typo's, one hundred fifty cc. People think its a joke when i tell them. But its geared low enough to climb almost everything, and still does about 25 full speed with 2 adults. Oh and it weighs 400 lbs so 2 people can pick it up if it gets stuck, no winch needed. Sure its not the fastest, but its small, light and nimble. Many times have I lost a RZR in the tight wooded trails simply because they are too big and heavy to whip the corners like I can. The point is every vehicle has its benefits and drawbacks, but they are all fun in their element. for what its worth, I do think the buggies aesthetics are much much more attractive than a RZR. Mad max vs luxury mall crawler.
But how does it go if you weigh 270 lbs?
DBFM, I prefer the Can Am Maverick X3 X RS TurboR with the Trail Active module but thats 10x the price of a 150cc buggy. But at $31,000 its 4x4, fast as hell and has a stereo!
@@rovidbouski4022 30k for that?! screw that, for that money you can get competition made crosscart in my country. nope, i'll pass.
Rovid Bouski for 30k I could have any buggy I wanted and still put $20k in the bank
Apocguy, they have all wheel drive crosskarts under $30k? With reverse? And a radio?
Its actually pretty dang cool. Lol. What makes it cool is that its unique and rare. You see rzrs or Mavericks everywhere. They are awesome, dont get me wrong, but they are just so common. I would take that thing and would build a little turbo system for it. Also, there is a company that makes a system to convert it to fuel injection that runs a few different sensors so it will automatically tune itself. That or you could just stick a sportbike engine in it, but being a 3 cylinder is cool. They sound different. Then I would do some upgrades to the suspension. I would build some new front shock mounts that are higher up so you can run a longer shock. Then I would run some air bypass shocks with reservoirs. They would soak up everything like it's nothing. Anyway, that's just me. Cool video, thanks for sharing. Will subscribe.
where can i get one!!
I really love the buggy.
Where can I buy it?
Y are you so. Paranoid about lookin around like that 😂😮
makes me wonder if you could use a 1000 cc 3cyl engine from a geo metro/suzuki swift as an upgrade.
bigassfordsd Yes! That would make a great upgrade engine. I have an idea myself, been wanting to do engine swap from Mitsubishi Mirage, it’s an aluminum block 3 cylinder. So it would be less weight and more power also efi so I could turbo it later on.
@@DirtGearTv do this!!!! Any chance for an upgraded box with more ratios? Or perhaps a Superbike engine from the GSXR.
@@DirtGearTv sweet buggy. Who makes it? What Brand and model. Where can I find one?
@@stuartsmellie4966 motorcycle engines require a lot of engineering if you dont want to blow them up or their clutch. much cheaper to go with a car engine, and you get the perks of a reverse gear.
@@comethiburs2326 I dig it. Hopefully a little boost in the future
Where can I buy one?
Hi! Where to buy?
I would suggest HIGHLY suggest upgrading all of the ball joints with Heavy Duty Heim Joints though I can hear the clattering when you hit bumps its those Factory Ball Joints they're worn out and ready to pop out I had it happen with my old buggy.
No doubt! Chinese made ball joints are so prone to break! Also that frame will rust out!
you notice that as well they were really noisy !
Where do you even buy it
Is this a dd could this be driven ? Stree driven ?
You could probably get a lot more top end out of it on a solid surface road with better gear ratio on the final
FYI most of the rattling noises you hear in this video are the floor boards and the transmission shift linkage( tubing )... I used sound deadening tape to quiet down the floor (underneath) and used a foam pool noodle to quiet the shift linkage.
What is the name of that buggy?
How do u get parts for it
Beto Alvarez I make my own 😂 🤷♂️
It's like a 3 speed with overdrive.
what brand chinese UTV is this? didnt catch the name if you said it...
Daniel Lawson Thats the mystery of it... Probably Roketa, I just don’t have a serial number to be sure
Belt timing means that you have to change the belt every couple of thousand miles. A good example of maintenance on this type of motor is the Mazda AZ-1. The AZ-1 is a Japanese Kei car.
Michael Sanders I’ve been wondering how the belt maintenance might translate to the off road environment. I’m sure i’m way harder on the engine than if it were in a passenger car so the oil and belt interval must be significantly shorter? I believe the engine has about 30hrs on it...
The timing belts in car engines are usually recommended to be changed every 100,000km, about 60,000 miles. They last a lot longer than that. Would you ever put 30,000 miles on a buggy like that? Would you put 15,000 miles on it? Anyway, the other parts of the engine will get maintained, and it's easy to inspect the belt for cracking and cheaply change it when desired.
Price what's the price how do I order
Suzuki a General Motors were partners with the XL7/ Traverse and Geo Motors. This engine is the same as the Geo/ Chevrolet Metro. At 9 to 1, an AMR 500 supercharger might be fun.
Chevy colt was a 3 cyl.and the cevy sprint and i think the yogo was also.
Chevy metro had a 3 cylinder.
@@dm8867 im not shure but i think the sub modle of the ford festivea was too.
