It's hilarious that Sixty Years of Research and Development has finally caught up to compete along side a Volkswagen based rail. Dr. Ferdinand Porsche was an Absolute Genius!

WOW! Ten's of Hundreds VS Ten's of Thousands. This is a no brainer to me, And yes, I understand a Rock Bouncer will pull more POONANNY than the cheap OLD Rail But, Doing it with 2 wheel drive says something more inspiring to me cause It's the underdog in me that thinks it has more meaning I suppose.

Now I want a rail buggy. Sweet

The rock bouncers are just to heavy. They fight their own weight. The 2wd VW powered buggies are making a major statement when it comes to keeping it light and simple.

Got to love an old school rail buggy.

this should have way more likes....... wtf!..... I like every video I see,..... just to thank him for posting all these awesome video clips... for free!

I love the big guys but it's nice to see this mix of badass stuff run up that huge hill!

these videos are sick! I want to see more rig detruction!!

When your in the dirt, I really like agg tires. there is a reason tractors have used that tread design to plow fields for over 100 years .

2:00 nice video, thats a hell of a hill. most of these vids i think to myself, "yea, my stock tacoma can do that" until you get a nice reference of just how steap these hills are.

Seems like the rails do pretty well in this particular type conditions.

Yeah, those buggys' rear drive wheels are planted on terra firma like almost all the time. They weigh prolly a 1000+ pounds less than the big machines, but a huge portion of the weight is on the rear. I think Hollingsworth's and Cameron's are DESIGNED accordingly to keep the wheels planted better than a lot of the others, and the tires they use just have such superb forward and side bite (side bite with the wheels spinnning-that's a big deal) - horsepower to the ground not windmilling so much!

Great video! Rail buggies are impressive!

Cool vid Madram11... it's interesting to see how they compare, and I agree about the winner looking like a 4WD rail... that thing sure looked light!

Looks like the higher HP bouncers over powered the hill more then anything. Both machines are impressive in there own rights

Hey MadRam11, that's some good audio and video quality. What camera are you using?

Couldent y'all build a rail for near what a set of shox&springs cost on a rock bouncer!?

2:35 that rzr is eating the hill 😎

too each there own but i like how the 4 bangers shame the v8s the setup matters more than you think the rails seem to make look easy well the ones who do properly cant believe the 3rd one wheelied up the top

6:05 Are those just big boy studds?

I know this is a noob comment but I hope to one day get to build my own sand rail or rock bouncer and I'm really curious as to what engines I'm looking at here in these buggies? Like are most of these v6 and v8s or like were a few just 4 cylinder vws? Like any of these 1900cc or 2000cc engines?

@140............That wheelie though!!!!!!!!

rails seemed to kick ass

Ahhh a refreshing non V8 engine sound for a change!!

my sand rail would go anywere you could take it to the trials then drive it home on the streets if you look threw my videos there is one of it going threw a pond. that weekend 2 jeeps and a scout got stuck in the same pond lol , ended up ripping the rear skid plate off. nice video the rock climbers are more geared toward climbing big boulders.

Some of them hills are spooky tall. I can see getting to the top and cartwheeling all the way down. Gotta commit

boys and ther big toys :) . Damn fine machines though :) .

Very interesting, but are the results listed anywhere?

Do those smaller ones have vw engines?

Did this take place on the 5th? I was at rush for their rail buggies vs bouncers and Jamie Whitaker was there....he's also in this video(35 seconds into the vid) lol....????

Old style sand rails did well

Does anybody know what kind of engine that 1st one has? It sounds like some sort of 6 cylinder turbo

I think the bouncer at 5:48 was the only propane powered one in the mix.

the bouncer at the 5 minute mark what type of back tires is he running

Back in the 70's I was into 4X4's my buddy built a rail buggy with turning brakes, I think he could go anywhere I went, except faster, his front end didn't beat itself to pieces like mine.

Awesome

Damn...I'd be scared to drive a couple of those rigs

pretty boss for being 2 wheel drive lol

and nothing is better than free!

Cool I knew my VW rail climbed good but didn't know they'd do this good against a machine like these

Do someone knows the price for one of this monster.

What kind of motors do the rail buggys have?

9 out of 10 rock bouncers need softer springs and or more rebound in the suspension

Harlan county KY?

Kick ass kentuckians

were was this at ?

Mujhe laga ye video 5 days pahle upload hua hai , dhag se dekha to 5 years ago likha tha 😂

That red buggy around 2:00 is so mean sounding and looking

Buggy have engines in rear, adds weight to tires in rear, Rockcrawlersgot engine in front ,.. Less weight in rear ,less hook up.. I luv driving them though.. Good video..

4:39... slams into kill mode

a rail buggy looks like it would knock you over. a rock buggy looks like it will eat you.

I'd rather roll down that hill in one of the rock bouncers, but those rails are light on their feet.

Definitely takes more skill for the dune buggy I had one but i could not climb the same hills as I did in my 4x4 so I sold it but looking back it was possibly all driver error and lack of turning brakes

To the casual fan it's all about the machinery, and not so much the driver, great sport to have so many different classes on the same hill, spiked tyres look dangerous, i wonder if he or she kept the revs low incase one came lose and killed someone !!!!! the winner looked like a hybrid lovechild of sandrail/ bouncer !!!

These guys probably change air filters in these every 5 minutes.

as gaiolas com motor traseiro sobe fácil. ..kkkkk

Parece que jalan más duro los motores de vw

i have a 4g63t i wanna drop in a rail buggy..

Yep...Don't underestimate a 1000lb rail powered by a VW four banger

6:10 easy does it

I honestly can't imagine a 2 wheel drive rail trying to climb a vertical wall?? It would be like watching a bird trying to walk up a wall ???? HUMMM??? It's just 2 different sports.

Obvious rock bouncers are to heavy.
