The Hurricane 800-EFI (similar to the GK-32) is our largest buggy in engine displacement and one of the second-largest in physical size. Accordingly, it is also the fastest and the most comfortable of our entire 2-seat product line. it is also one of the few buggies that comes equipped with a winch. It is the only buggy in our product line that has a long snorkel on the engine intake to allow fording of some fairly deep streams.
It shares a feature/weakness with its other 250cc and 800cc Hurricane-series brethren in that it has an open differential rather than a locked rear end.
An open differential has pros and cons. The upside is that you will experience significantly less tire wear on dry paved surfaces and the buggy will be much safer and easier to control on wet concrete and asphalt (locked rear ends tend to fishtail when accelerating out of corners on wet pavement). The downside of an open diff is that you will tend to get stuck easier/more often than with a buggy having a locked rear end.
The Hurricane 800-EFI is also one of the few buggies for which a turbocharger kit exists and we carry that kit here at AwesomeBuggy.com (see our high-performance parts section for details). We also carry a gauge kit and a cooling upgrade kit that make definite improvements over the stock buggy.

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."
