A bit of an update on this truggy. My XT8 has pretty much been reduced to towing duties, lol. One day, I was curious whether it could easily pull a wagon with my daughter in it. Here is a vid of the trial run:



The problem is that she LOVED it. So, we go out a few times a week around the neighborhood. I geared down as low as I could go and it runs great. Stays quite cool considering the load. I get sooo many comments from people asking where they can buy one, lol.

Just last night, I went 3.6 miles on one 5s 5Ah pack traveling around 3mph. And a guy in his old Toyota pickup stopped alongside and we chatted for a bit. When he expressed his surprise that it had enough power to pull it, I told him not only can it pull it, it would also beat his Toyota on acceleration. He thought I was full of it until we proved it. I only made to about 15-20mph since my daughter was in the wagon (she loves it when I go fast), but that shut him up!
