the one with the rear-axle steers/handels and reacts a little bit better/lighter, but both one's are cool to trow around on the beach.. 8) 8)

yep, seen that. allready 8 years ago
his tech drawings are public so i used a little from him.
saw the build on toutube, really professional people who did that.
supercool buggy but big and heavy, i don't think sliding and trowing around is an option.

Oooooo, this is neat.

When I look at these pics, I think that the name should be "sand proa".
