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!
what? you mean you took off on that pickup truck with that wagon and daughter still hooked up??? i wouldnt have believed it as well too hahah. how the heck is that possible?
and that buggy pulling your daughter can reach speeds up to 20mph? that is pretty darn fast if you ask me haha
