[QUOTE="RustyC, post: 519366, member: 1997"] I have a full body Jeep and rear engine buggy as well. I have never had a front engine buggy so I can only compare the two. Pros of a rear engine are. Better handling at speed, front visibility, all the heat is behind the driver (great for summer in the south), does not nose dive as bad when jumping. Cons Does not seem to climb ledges as well. Customer offset axle housings, shafts. Having to run on the coast side of the gear sets. The thought of an engine fire is always on your mind because you can't see it behind you. The buggy is better for endurance racing because is handles better but it does not perform as well as a front engine on hills without water in the front tires. [/QUOTE]
