And......here we go!

Charlie got a new Razor Dune Buggy. It's a very basic, low-cost but well-reviewed kids kart.

24V motor... hand controls for throttle and brake, and not many frills.

We both like the idea that it will serve as a blank canvas for our own design and performance aesthetic, and it will give us many opportunities to make changes, observe the results, and get some quality "garage time" together in the process.

Charlie has already started on some "artist renderings" for future changes:
(Most Noteworthy: F & R Bumpers, Large Rear Wing, Performance Exhaust and a prominently mounted 560MPH speedometer)

STAY TUNED!!! and SUBSCRIBE.

hows it driven, single rear wheel? Belt?

I foresee some one leggers down the driveway soon enough

Where's the drive tribe for this build?

I may copy you on this. The John Deere power wheels has seen better days.

Believe it or not......it's a chain driven, full-time locked (spool) setup!!!

Gearing changes should be relatively easy on that electric motor sprocket...

That's cold, man. Possibly true. But still cold.

I suspect you'll have a little ripper pretty soon here.. hoonigan in gregs neighborhood!

Whoa Whoa Whoa!
Hold on!

My son has one too. Count me in. It'll need bigger tires cause it high centers real easy. My son is 8. How old is yours?

Edit: Just noticed yours real is a "dune buggy" but mines a go-kart.

 

[Greg72]

Charlie is 8 now....

Time waits for no one.

Someone told me they have a really cool go-kart track at the coda race track. I'd like to take my son to do that sometime.

 

[sreidmx]

Can’t believe he’s 8!!! Crazy!

 

[Greg72]

Can’t believe he’s 8!!! Crazy!

It used to be funny to say he’d be driving age before the truck was finished..... doesn’t seem all that funny anymore!
