Only been there once for the VW "carshow" they had. Gonna hafta go again and look for those chinese 4 wheelers.

My son has 2 of the 12 volt John Deer Gator riding toys. They are made by Peg Perego. The stock motors are some kind of a 550 I believe. It goes really fast on 24 volts but the motors don't last long. I think a 775 brushed motor would do well in there. The motor mount holes would need to be enlarged to 1 1/8. I also eliminated the "shifter" that changes between reverse, 1st., and 2nd. gear.

I've got some pretty good info in my FAQs I wrote for the traxxas forum noobs, worth scrolling down to the battery section and having a read.

Here is another clip of him tripping the circuit breaker and getting upset that it doesn't want to do wheelies. This one is on 7s1P A123

This is him driving around on the 7S1P A123.

Get some giant rubber bands to put around the tires! Needs a major dose of traction. Not sure if the rubberbands would work or not but that thing has some nasty push turning on the concrete and wouldn't hurt from some added traction to the back tires either! Now you just need to put a neu and a MMM in there and he could have some real fun!
