My next buggy?

Actually I bet that that rock is like some around here. TONS of traction dry but just a speck of water and you got a slimy clay mess just like drillers mud. That crap is SLIMY. We once got a 4WD truck with lockers front and rear stuck on perfectly flat rock that had just about 1/4" deep dimples about 8" in diameter that was wet after a rain. The ground  water  kept the clay mud wet. We couldn't spin the tires hard enough to dry the tires and we were STUCK till we got out,the 3 of us, with the truck in low/low and no driver to push it about a foot ahead and away we went. LOL! I'd bet that dude made it up that run many times before. Dry.

That motor is wrong for that type of thing ya need sumthin with torque not high revving..

Yes ,I agree the motor was not the best choice,but we need to remember that on bike motors there is an internal primary reduction that is between the crankshaft and the tranny input shaft that reduces the engine RPM input to the tranny to more reasonable levels.Example -busa at 12,500 engine rpm redline X 1.596 primary reduction  brings tranny input shaft to 7832 rpm. Same as many high putput V8's and 4 bangers alike. While I agree he would probably be better served with  a torque monster instead of the bike engine I cannot blame the high rpm as the culprit. True ;most rice burners are not torque monsters and ,if it were me,I'd have chosen a different engine.
