Hush

What a great way to bring the family together. Apparently they start the kids out at around 5 yrs in the kid carts. Hell, I thought we'd pick up two one for me and one for the boy. Talk about being a pit Dad. :L: Mom could do a bit of wrenching, timing laps, feeding the crew etc....:L: Uh... you may want to leave that part out.:cool:

That would be cool papa. You said feed the crew. Can I be part of the crew. :D I don't eat much. :D Half a cow for lunch should hold me to dinner.

I dont think its fast enough! if a cop dont gie the kid a ticket for speeding, then it aitn fast enougH!! Lol, how about a REAL CRAWLER? lol, with rollcage adn everything.

Yeah, that was posted on the UE forums. I think they need to be faster too. ;)

Hey guys. Could you tell me what would be a pretty good 550 motor, something along the lines of a E-maxx titan, but more power and a little cheaper? Or do I just need to buck up for two $50+ motors?

BTW, the Power Wheels motors are the same size as the 550's, and can just be swaped out .

cheaper than a titan? there pretty cheap as it is. i would say a titan and a little more voltage.

[nbcaznmaster]

sweet! Do they have a ESC AT ALL? cuz i remember that they went FULL THROTTLE when driving. Theres no gradual accelartion. U click and BOOM, no aaccelration or anything, just full throttle. U should get a bl system in it! thats definately more of a kick! say high to ur kids as they past real cars in the street.

You can pick up a mbuchi/johnson 550 motor (same basic motor as the titans) for next to nothing. For a cheap replacement, look for something like this. I can probably find something along these lines if you need me to.

Yeah, I think I'm going to just go ahead and get the Titans off Ebay.....Unless someones has some they could spare.

And no, no ESC, sadly. It's all or nothing.

It's going to be running off one 12v battery (the stock one), I can add more and go up to 18v, something I'm pretty sure I'll do. You don't think that going up to 18v would be too much for the Titan do you?

Thanks for all the help guys.
