buggy only goes backwards !!!
#1
OK I bought a buggy , and I put it on the bump box and it only goes backwards , no matter which way I put it on the bump biox , I have seen that before and I heard just keep rolling it forward and maybe it will catch and go forward . I am going to work on it tomorrow but.. I thought I would get the question out there
thanks guys ..., and yes I did check to see it the batteries were in backwards Rolleyes :o Big Grin

the box has to be turing backwards starting the engine backwards. Its the only way it a buggy could be going backwards.

because of the way buggies work the only way it could go backwards is if the engine is running backwards. well.. unless.. the diffs are in backwards. on some buggies that is possible.

I bet the prob is in the Driveline or tranny (center diff, whatever). When a motor runs backwards doesn't the pipe act like a intake and the carb is the exhaust? That's how a motor acted for me when I started one backwards.

The more I think of it its gt to be the diffs. pull out the front diff and flip it the opposite way (with the ring gear on the opposite side) then do the same process to the rear. it should be fine then I bet the guy that you got it from checked things out before he shipped it and put the diffs in the wrong way.
