I think right at the beginning the forum was set up for freestyle buggies, and since then has grown and branched out. Said freestyle buggies tend to be used as a fun Sunday car or for some offroad fun as more of a trials car. It is very successful at trialing and seems to do well in all variants of the sport. Here is an old video of one trialing: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lXIzFeSFOy0&feature=related[/youtube]
I've still not finished building mine, but plan to take it along to local 4X4 meetings to do trialing with them. It's nice to see all these events on this forum now, and i definitely will try to take part in at least one when my project is finished!
