How do you think a narrow buggy with a high CoG, oversprung and underdamped suspension, with no diff, is going to handle.
Usually they will understeer everywhere, until the snap oversteer comes in. They bounce along, cornering off road is better than on road as there's usually only one rear wheel at most in contact with the ground.

Tis a shame that looking through the showrooms on TamiyaClub it seems few people actually drive their old Tamiyas.... or even build them!

Ahem, an awful lot of us run the old cars quite hard. From some of our bashes at Ainsdale...
