Shoot my first buggy didnt have brakes and believe it or not I had solid wooden wheels on it with the rubber outter band and an old "muchola" two stroke engine on it dont know how I still have an -ss left! We just ran it into a pile of clearing brush dad had piled up at one end of a field! Thank god we mostly ran around in sandy trails at the end of the property, but still it didnt last for long! Of course this was in the early 1960's er I mean not that long ago!!!
