The crossfire frame is a good platform to start with due to the rail shape and a-arms. It will need some work to be safe at those speeds though. The cage will keep you safe at 30 but it's no race rig

It's slim so they tip easy. You could do some arctic cat shocks in the front and blasters in the rear. Some wheel spacers will help as well. I run the weewee out of mine. Jump it climb it and roll it #-o I've been on 2 wheels at least 10 times. I even jumped it and landed on a big chunk of concrete right next to the lower a-arm. Nice dent but it's still together

We just did a test run with our first UFB (crossfire 400 kawasaki) and we haven't completed the suspension mods yet. It held up pretty good.

How does it jump?

All the videos I've seen of buggies jumping the front end falls like a brick. I put a 2x4 under my Crossfire from side to side under the seat. I jacked it up to get the rear end off the ground so I could spin the wheels. The whole thing lifted. It was perfectly balance under the seat without anyone in it. Since a persons weight would mainly be over the seat I'd think it should fly nicely. :lol:

I think Krusekontrols boy has gotten the best air in one. It does dive a bit but most of my jumps are more drop off's than ramps. I really want to get these things on a mx track but no one wants to play with me :cry:

The UFB will do very well in the air. we couldn't do any jumps because we haven't installed the suspension yet. As for the stock 150's almost everyone will nose dive depending on the type of jump, position of the driver when you hit the top of your jump. Of the many buggies I've tried in the 150 class I would have to say the buggies with LTS seem to do much better on the big jumps.

Here is a profile of my son coming over a hill atr Tamaqua. Notice he is not nose diving but riding the rear wheels down. This is mainly due to his weight.

If you watch the Buggynews slide show, at the end you'll see many different buggies getting air and staying level for a nice landing.
