I talked to my wife a little about it today. I am thinking about keeping the sami and eventually making a single seater out of if. I am going to try and get it operational on the cheap and start tossing whatever money I need to at the red buggy. It is fun to ride, but breaking not so much.
Once I get the time and money together, I will go RCV's. Nothing like the feeling of confidence you get with an axle you feel you can't break. Not saying I couldn't break a R&P, but the 1.3 would have to be bouncing to get that done.
If anyone knows the original purchaser of the shafts that are in this crap box, let me know. Might could see if they are still in warranty.
