Gave it a whirl this afternoon.

Good video. I like when it goes off roading. It is kind of funny how it revs, but it goes at a nice pace. Are these geared somehow that it goes the speed it does?

At just before 0:45 in, it looks like it is telling you to hang on!

Thanks,

It's driven by a worm gear, so it's pretty tame.

Very nice!

This makes me want to get the Baja Bug going this summer. The plastic chassis has become very brittle and has broken a few times, may make it a good candidate for an RC conversion.

Long live the Cox Dune Buggy!! I like it. That's one more rescued and running. Good job Ron.

Just scored a vintage dune buggy on eBay yesterday. My old man got me one in 1969 when I was 9 years old. Always kinda regretted not keeping it. I got involved in Nitro RC last year and decided to look for a dune buggy to add to my collection. Glad I found this site. Will be buying lots of parts!

Good story. Glad you got yourself one, and welcome to the site. Lots of good people and information here.

My Dune Buggy showed up yesterday! It's a lot nicer than I expected. Good compression, tires good, body and pan in great shape. Already ordered everything I need to get it running from this site. Thanks for the great service. Looking forward to running it with my son and grandkids.

My first experience with glow engines as a kid, seems like mine was bigger and faster but probably just my perspective at 9 or 10 yrs old. I think the engine on that buggy implanted the passion for the rest of my life. Thanks for the memories.
