So the motor on this buggy was blown. The rings were shot! That sucks, but the owner gave me a refund since I had the buggy less than 24 hours before discovering the problem. I have been talking to Trick Toys Fab in Arizona. I'm flying down there this week and giving a deposit on a new unbuilt buggy. This will be custom built around me. Going with a stroked LS3 motor at 600 plus HP. Build cost is $75.000, but atleast I know it is new and never been abused. Build time is 6 to 8 months, so I should have it by next summer.
