all the dune buggy's i have seen all have used vw motors ... so not sure how big you are making it but you might be under powered ... good luck and keep us updated

we have built 3 buggies and one of them only had a thirteen hp and it did 60mph! so i dont think we will need it , but how much is it? how many kms?
