Speed test Twister Hammerhead 250cc dune buggy review

Testing out my wife's Twister Hammerhead 250cc dune buggy. Always wondered how fast it will go. Find out in this video.

[@shaynehelms3251]

I have one of these it's been in my shed for 15 years and I never used it in going to today

[@zandertunes9602]

Mine hit 40 stock easy. I would definitely do a little tuning. Not sure if it has the high low but I actually find low gear to be faster than the high for what ever reason

[@mrs.helmet4life513]

Don't get too comfy on my dunebuggy, hubby mine! LOL

[@Helmet4Life]

Ahhh. But it's so fun.

[@dbfmentertainment9528]

Maybe its just me but the revs sounded low. Does it still have the governor on? Either way 30 is usually fast enough out on something bumpy or on tight twisty trails. If I had your property I'd be having so much fun on that thing too! I enjoyed this video alot!

[@Helmet4Life]

It is bare bore stock, so if it came with a governor, it will still be on it.

[@josephyost22]

These engines don’t have governors on it but the CDI may have a rev limiter

[@GMC.Sonoma.4.3]

@@josephyost22 yep the Chinese are clever at governing things down secretly. A performance kit way squeeze some power out but not enough, use a racing 250cc cdi.

[@vicmon25mon85]

hey I have one just like that and it's a 250cc hammerhead and don't know much about it but it's a 2 gear high and low did that mean is like 2 speed??

[@Helmet4Life]

Ya you have the 2 speed.Lucky you.I only have one speed range for foward and reverse.

[@jasonurban3597]

I had a hammerhead 250 and also had a high and a low gear the low gear is awesome real torky

[@volgnit]

Ha ha ha. Wife is out shopping. Let's see how fast this thing goes. Looked like a ton of fun.

[@Helmet4Life]

Yup ton a fun

[@greyhaack9403]

My 150cc Crossfire Punisher does 33mph! And the only mods I've done are CDI, coil, and spark plug.

[@jonathanwhitesides7666]

I have a 2020 hammerhead 150 and mine does 40mph bone stock

[@yellowsuzuki06]

I generally get 35-40 40 something on a flat road.

[@Helmet4Life]

I may have to tune this one up.Or modify time.

[@josephyost22]

Put it in high gear

[@rustywatts9358]

I got the same one but mines top out at 28 mph and thats with performance air filter and rejetted carburetor....

[@josephyost22]

Are you in low gear?

[@crimsonbikerr7119]

Omg where can I get one! ?

[@Helmet4Life]

I got mine almost 10 years ago at a local powersports place.They still make Twister Hammerhead dune buggys, the 250cc has been replaced by the 300cc same engine but has two foward gears for more speed.Just do a search to see where the closest dealer is.

[@FamilyChannelfun32]

That noise though, lol wahahahahaha

[@mega-hb4re]

It's pretty powerful for a go kart

[@shaynehelms3251]

It's a dune buggy

[@mega-hb4re]

It’s a go kart numb nuts

[@mikevalazquez1459]

how fast can she go off road

[@p3unco179]

I like 250cc :))

[@Helmet4Life]

Ya 250cc is fun. But would like to get a 500-800cc larger biggie sometime.

Is $2000 for a used one a good price? I’m 15 and there’s one on Craigslist I may save up for

[@mikevalazquez1459]

you gonna be saving for a long time i just bought a hammerhead buggy from my friend for $800

my 110cc hammerhead goes 29....ther is something wrong with yours...it should be going way faster for a 250cc

[@shaynehelms3251]

His governor isn't up all the way

[@theunseen8054]

You know, it's a shame they don't make these anymore! Yeah you can get a Trailmaster XRX 300, which is basically the same type of thing, but @ $4,600...OUCH

[@jonathanwhitesides7666]

They still make them. I have a 2020 hammerhead 150. Polaris bought them out.

[@theunseen8054]

@@jonathanwhitesides7666 yes I know they still make them and I have lots of money in which purchase one... I don’t have anywhere to keep or ride it...

[@theunseen8054]

@@jonathanwhitesides7666 I know this, but now Hammerhead only makes a 150 anymore. They used to make a 250 model and I bought one for my son like 15 years ago. Now if you want a bigger one Hammerhead only has a 150 but Trailmaster has the XRX 300.

[@raidermorgan4317]

What year is it? I have an 05

[@Helmet4Life]

Finally found the vin number.It's a 2005.

[@anthonybustos9787]

Helmet 4 Life were was the vin trying to find mine

[@Helmet4Life]

If you look behind your drivers side seat.You will see a horizontal tube that your seatbelt attaches to. The next tube down you will see a plate that has been welded around that tube. This plate has your serial number on it.If you are lucky it has tape on it and pull the tape off to reveal serial number. Mine did not have tape and number was painted over. Take some steel wool and lightly scrub the surface and use spit,dishwashing soap or something to rub on the numbers for the stamped numbers to show up.The numbers are angled toward the seat.I was able to take a picture using my phone.
