Dune buggy car physics...

[Smartpride]

It's the only car I complained in the whole gta series, especially gta 5.

1. Very easy to destroy with gun since it's rear is exposed.

2 hitting a little bump cause the car tip flip uncontrollably, if unlucky, landing on it's roof cause the car to explode(why? If the metal crushed you it's okay)

3. Super light weight that a Sanchez can cause the buggy off course easily.

 

*awkwardly less modification only 3: (explosive, insurance and sell)

 

Seriously it's very competitive against bifta but no engine upgrades? That sucks.

 

Only thing it's good is turning, but still easily spinout if little car collision occurs...

Yea its a buggy, its light weight and nimble....wouldnt exactly be a buggy if it was big, slow, heavy, and sluggish. Sure stuff knocks it around a lil bit more than the others, but not excessively, and you wont fall off like a bike or quad. Just drive careful, if youre racing you should be driving with some extra control anyways. But ive never been bumped off my line by a sanchez. Spinouts seem to happen when trying to power through a corner... instead brake early, coast thru the apex, and power out. But yea there are some quirks due to its light weight...theres a certain.....'wonky-ness' to the physics, but that doesnt hurt it too much.

And yea its passenger compartment is very open, another trait of a a buggy. Not all cars can or should offer tank like protection, like the entity.

Its nearly always my choice for offroad races (w or wo customs cars, but more on that later.) Only if the race is a hill climb, nasty rock crawl, or has river crossings will i pick something else. It super quick and nimble, excellent acceleration, excellent grip, great handling, decent top speed is only minor shortcoming imo. Its small, zippy and can carry a lot of speed through a corner. Feels like driving a katana, slicing corners so easy and quick. The buggy has the best of the atvs and sanchezs, acceleration and nimble handling, wo their biggest drawback, being able to be pushed around wicked easy and falling of. I feel it has an it has a slight edge over the injection and bifta. It just has a lil more zip, lil more pep.

It just takes a slightly different driving style and some caution, avoiding crashes, bumps w sandkings, spinouts, and gnarly terrain. Once you get good with it you will reap the benefits.

Ive had a dune buggy im my garage since the early days of gtao, had when i got my cop car, tank, and buzzard removed from garage. Then i learned of a glitch that opened up more option for some cars is lsc... and oh man!!! Tuner rims for even more grip on the road, and 100% trans, engine, turbo, etc etc really turned mine into absolute beast! Really drives well in the city, surprising how much speed can be built up w its grip and quick tight turns. Can easily keep pace w sports/supers in the twisty turns, just not on the long straights.

Also the mid air controls are crazy when you jump it

But i think that glitch got patched, so i shouldnt tease.......oopppssillyme!

Now after 1.12 you can customize it in LSC
