Only drove it around the parking lot so far, low gear is going to be a blast, a little gas and the front end lifts up and takes off. Hi gear and your cruising at 30 mpg and the engine does not sound like it working hard.
The first thing was to roll it into the garage and go over everything and make any needed adjustment before taking it out this weekend.
There was surprisingly not much to do, everything was tight and the build quality is amazing compared to my 150 Roketa. I found I could even adjust the steering wheel column up or down where I liked it.
The big test will be tomorrow when I get it out into the mountains and give it a run. Will post a ride review if anybody is interested.

I agree review and video would be great. I love the fact that this buggy has a low range, the new Hammerhead 250 is supposed to have it as well. I have tons of steep hills around here and low range would be great to have. I bet the Viper rides great with that suspension. How's the foot room in that? From the one photo it looks like it could be tight.

I would miss the rack that is on my 06 Viper but it looks good with the wing. Is 30 mph top speed you got out of it? Mine will do 40 mph top speed in high gear and about 20 in low. The dash is much better from what I can tell. I also would like to know if the weight went up on them. Looks like it has longer shocks. How well does it take off in high gear also Like you said low gear take off is very good
Just wondering about how well it turns. i am not sure if you are able to compare it to a Twister 250 in the areas of turning radius and bump steer or is it pushes through the turns or if it grabs and goes.
Reviews Please
We went riding today on some tight trails and our HH 150's are 54" wide because of some aftermarket tires, and it was tight. So tight that I managed to put it into a tree around a corner, but somehow did no damage. I hit between the frame and the left front tire. If this were a Joyner it would have been all A-arms and no body to take the shot. I know the real solution is to not try and go as fast as I can all the time, but I don't think that is an option. But man I love the way those joyners look.
