    those things are fun, but you can't drive them on the street, you need to buy a trailer to take it out to the desert, you need the parking space for the trailer and a secured storage area for the kart...

    if you have $8,000 laying around for the kart and trailer, only for it to sit in storage most of the year, then go for it...

    and don't forget to invest in the fireproof race suits and helmets for every person who intends to drive it...

    those things are pretty rad!

    It would be something to consider, but there is something to be said about having something streetable

    With a 250 motor, not guessing it would be so hot up the bowls, 450 four stroke in one of those would up the ante a bit

    I doubt they would have enough power for the dunes, unless they had a bigger motor.
    They are sweet, but expensive. I would rather have a Polaris RZR XP, but again the RZR is even more, but with 900cc, 88HP, and rear trailing arms with 14" of travel you can't go wrong.
