Overview[ | ]
Bill loves long drives on the beach.
The Dune Buggy is a good vehicle to use for beginners, as it has a really high amount of grip at max level, up to 1000! This is a great vehicle to drive in Adventure mode due to its climbing ability, especially when the right Tuning Parts are used, such as Winter Tires, Wheelie Boost, Fume Boost, and Coin Boost. With a lower top speed of 21.40 m/s (77.04 km/h), this vehicle will struggle In higher Cups ranks, especially Legendary, compared to faster vehicles such as the Racing Truck, Rally Car, Super Diesel and Superbike. However, in rough terrain, the Dune Buggy is able to dominate races against otherwise very quick vehicles such as the Formula, Racing Truck, and even the Supercar because it has firm suspension. The Dune Buggy is also one of only four vehicles currently in the game that comes with its own roll cage (along with the Hill Climber Mk. 2, Rotator, and Rally Car). The roll cage is upgradeable and is especially useful on tracks with underground sections and ceilings, such as Mountain, Rustbucket Reef, Mines, and Patchwork Plant.
The Dune Buggy has a problem where the vehicle may slow down, or even stop after a hard landing from a big jump, due to the front wheel not being powered by the engine. It is recommended, especially in races, to keep the front wheels from touching the ground as much as possible, even when landing jumps (unless you have Landing Boost installed). This is highly inconvenient during races, but also wastes Fuel, a key factor in Adventure mode.
As mentioned in the overview, the Dune Buggy has a roll cage. Therefore, one should not be afraid to use it to their advantage by way of bouncing off ceilings or rolling through obstacles.
The Dune Buggy's zero power front wheels and diagonal shock on the back wheels make Jump Shocks weak on Dune Buggy, but they work well with Landing Boost at max level. The diagonal rear shock also means activating Jump Shocks on the back wheel diagonally will give a good boost. Overall, the Kangaroo is really good, as the Landing Boost and Wings are both powerful, which makes it even better in adventure, and also good in time trials.
The Dune Buggy is also commonly used in stunt events like Moon Stunts Event. With its powerful rear wheel drive and the right parts equipped, such as Winter Tires and Air Control, this vehicle comes second to none when it comes to flips.
But also, since the Buggy is small, light, and manuverable, this vehicle can fit through tight spaces and do great in harder adventure maps like Forest Trials, Intense City and Raging Winter, putting even Super Diesel and CC-EV at lower rank in the harder maps!
Fun Fact: Dune Buggy was the first vehicle to get 5,000m in Intense City adventure map, thanks to its size and maneuverability!
