Woods buggies are generally a lot heavier, more diagonal bracing, usually geared lower than sand buggies.
I've had both.
Mid engine Bugpack Fugitive for the sand and a BeeLine Kodiak chassis for the woods.
The sand buggy was light, almost fleeting.
Used Douglas wheels with smoothees and paddles tires.
My current woods buggy is almost cumbersome compared to the Bugpack chassis.
But it's built to go off road, climb steep terrain, wallow through some pretty deep mud and bang off trees with little effect. _________________ Gary

I saw somewhere that woodsbuggies tended to be shorter in length than sandrails...That's all that I can recall.. but I have seen that in liturature recently.. sorry that I cannot cite it though. |

My last sand buggy was 100" WB.
My current off road buggy is 103" but with 3x3 trailing arms so very comparable in length.
You usually don't see too many really short woods buggies because they are a lot easier to flip. _________________ Gary
