Default buggy on the pavement

Our local go cart track owner said we might get to use there track a couple days this summer. My ? is it ok to run our 4 wheel drive buggy's with street tire's on the pavement without hurting the diff's or something else. Mark,

It could hurt the engine if its wrapped out to long. So try not to hold it WOT. Other than that, dial all your droop out and it should be good.

Man, a go-kart track... that would be a blast!

the only thing you will wreck is your tires.

I drive my car on the pavement all the time and it chews the hell outta the tires. I rolled the car a few times and my engine head is all scratched, but thats about all.
