The 2008 Explorer 150 is an excellent buggy that offers greater side-to-side seating space and a bit more ground clearance than the Shara, Blade DX 150, Magnum 150, or any other Kinroad model. Some great new features of the 2008 model are: Wider rear tires, New dash and switches, Rear tail lights, Stronger exhaust. The best feature that no other 150cc Go-Kart has to date is the all-in-one reverse gear box. Why is this so great? On other models the rev box is seperate and requries mounting with brackets that break, as well as using a cable to shift which can break as well. Most importantly the gear box on this model allows you to change sprockets, giving you a wide range of gear ratios for speed of climbing that hill better.
150cc buggies in general do not climb hills as well as larger displacement models, especially with adults aboard. If excellent hill-climbing ability is a requirement for you, we strongly recommend either the XTerro or any 250cc buggy other than the Hurricane 250.
For tall and/or large people, we strongly recommend you consider our FAQ on the subject.
The Explorer 150, as well as all our other solid-rear-axle buggies, is MUCH less comfortable and controllable at high speed over rough terrain than our Titans, Terranex 250, Hurricane 250 and Spyder 250.

The Myth of MSRP
And while we're discussing prices, we'd like to expose the myth of Manufacturers's Suggested Retail Prices (MSRP) for Chinese-manufactured go karts, dune buggies, motorcycles, and motorscooters. In a nutshell, anyone who claims that an MSRP exists fior one of these vehicles is lying through their teeth! We refuse to mislead our customers by comparing our prices to some fictitious MSRP trying to decieve you with fake "savings."
AwesomeBuggy.com ships its dune buggies, mini sand rails, go karts, and motorscooterrs free of charge to your door anywhere in the United States except Hawaii & Alaska. However, if the truck cannot get to your house, it will be shipped to the trucking company's terminal located nearest to your residence. Call us for additional information.
Pick up is available at our warehouse. Call us for details.
All dune buggy parts and go kart parts are shipped to your door via UPS and are NOT covered by our free shipping for vehicles.
AwesomeBuggy.com supports its dune buggies, mini sand rails, and go karts free of charge through several means.
The first one is to check out our tech support menu in the main menu above. There you will find our unique visual assembly guides that portray with detailed photographs (and, as time permits, web video) detailing the step-by-step process of taking a buggy out of the crate and making it ready to drive. As of this time, we have assembly guides for several buggies, as well as one showing how to install our high-performance GY6 intake and exhaust system kit on a Magnum 150 buggy.
The second one is to call us and one of our technicians will be happy to assist you with your problem. Beware of buggy dealers who claim that they have "certified technicians" because, when it comes to these types of vehicles, no such certifications exist! Our technical folks who take your calls get their hands dirty working on these machines daily and know them inside and out, so you can be confident that you can and will get the assistance you need.
Before we add any buggy to our product list, we take it out to our "secret Arizona desert test site" and simply run the whee out of it! We climb hills, crawl rocks, descend cliffs, and jump the buggies 6+ feet into the air, all for the purpose of finding their performance limitations and literally trying to break them to determine their weak points. We also test for reliability and comfort.
Why go to all this trouble? So that when you buy one of our buggies, you know you are getting a proven vehicle that you can count on for years of reliable service and enjoyment.
If, after checking out our information here at AwesomeBuggy.com, you are still unsure or confused as to which buggy to buy and are needing some more input so that you can make a better-informed decision, we recommend the gang over at the BuggyNews.com forum. BuggyNews.com is a non-commercial (meaning they have nothing to sell and therefore can be counted on to give you the straight skinny with no axes to grind or ulterior motives). They are a great source of recommendations on various buggies and buggy dealers as well as a fund of general information on all things "buggy."
