You guys must kick hiney at tetris :-)
I had to lay down the seats to get 4 in the suburban....

kickingrass

COOL!! Glad you got it figured out. Now she can learn shifting, and drifting :mrgreen: If it still won't hook up, you can put something small and heavy under the seat between the motors.. just not too heavy or it won't steer.....

kickingrass

Why not just run it on 6 volts until she gets a little bigger???? You can leave the 12 v in there for the accessories, just run the motors on 6 for a while....
Burn three not wires!!

kickingrass

3 very nice 'stangs :D
Always liked the big n little combo.....

kickingrass

Ours has been running 36 volts for about six months now with no issues!! Really wakes it up like it was meant for it... only mod required was to bypass the controller for charging. Easy peasy..... and awesome!

kickingrass

When I started running out of room, we went to the "one in one out" rule... kids choice with daddy keeping veto power for special cases. Works great!!

kickingrass

<r>The thermal breaker in the shitter ALWAYS blows and it gets worse when you upvolted. I always remove them, just make sure you put a fuse or breaker as close to the batteries as possible. Your wiring diagram shows 24 volts and will damage the 6 volt batteries immediately!! Do not use that diagram!...

kickingrass

HOLY CRAP!!!! That's a little breezy, powerwheels take flight at about 60.... Might get to pick some from the trees later. :o :shock: :o :shock: :o

kickingrass

With the older pegs its almost always the switches in the shitter.... if the battery is good :-)
Burn tires not wires!

kickingrass

Awesome idea, I love it!!! Might have to "borrow" that idea if you don't mind. :-) the new cardboard ones SUCK!

kickingrass

Excellent!!!!

kickingrass

Fingers and toes are crossed!!! Git r done!!!

They are like pokemon,gotta catch em all.....

kickingrass

Holy crap!!! You found a gaucho in north Dakota?
Offer 250.... probably worth that for a keeper..... after adding a gaucho to our garage,the other pws are getting dusty..... there is a big difference :-)

kickingrass

Wasn't it a rzr that beat the hot rod gauchos at the pw races last year?

kickingrass

Sweet!!!! That's the last one on my want list..... never even seen one outside of the display at tru.
Would it by safe to assume that will be upvolted and ripping up the lawn soon???? GRATS Taz!!

kickingrass

The Walmart by me has them both hanging side by side. The first thing I noticed was the xuv is a LOT smaller than the hpx. It was like a pw jeep parked next to a gaucho....... looked nice though :-)

kickingrass

Nice work, that think is COOL!!!!

kickingrass

It's too far when you switch to gas...... well,maybe not.. there have been a couple of those too... yours is basically an electric cart, and still very welcome here as far as I'm concerned!! And VERY cool!!!! Keep posting please!!!!!!

kickingrass

I can't believe I just noticed this....
Yes, defensivewound is still around.. check out his dumped vw :-)

kickingrass

Those tail lights are cooooooool!! I have no idea what they came from........ Porsche??

Way better than stock :mrgreen:

kickingrass

Looks awesome Dw!!!! That chopped windshield makes a huge difference,can't wait to see where you go from here :-) :-)

kickingrass

<r>Jonesee, The superpower motors/gearboxes normally run on 24v. They WILL take 36v maybe even 48 <E>:-)</E> you would need a new esc for whatever voltage you decide on, but this will be cheaper,easier,and easier on the gearboxes than any boost/relay setup....... have fun and burn tires not wir...

kickingrass

Freakin awesome Taz!!!!! Good job on a couple of good drivers!!

kickingrass

Sweet!!! Thanks for all the info Rickh, i will be making a few of those soon!!! :mrgreen:

kickingrass

That IS very cool!!!!! I would like some more info on how you made that whip though... I need to "whip" up a few of those, and need to know how... Thank You!!!! :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

kickingrass

Looks good,priced right,bring it home quick before he changes his mind!! :D :D

kickingrass

<r>its probably a newer on with electric brakes,and the grey hubcaps would lead me to guess the wheels have been replaced at some point..... price depends on a lot of things, like how common they are in your area, and why it doesnt work,whats missing or broken,and the condition of the tires. Tires a...

kickingrass

My son is 6 years old,49 inches tall,and about 55 pounds. Tall and skinny like daddy WAS :lol: He still has plenty of growin room in the gaucho! I can ride it @ 6 foot 3 and 210 :lol: wifey says it looks pretty goofy with me in it though.........

kickingrass

+1 for the razor dirt quad. They are not cheap, but vastly superior in every way :mrgreen: except cost.
craigslist is your friend

kickingrass

Many sunburns ago, it looked like this download/file.php?id=3096&mode=view

kickingrass

<r>That thread should be required reading...... I picked up an old parts jeep a couple years ago that had a small garden tractor battery with a stock p/w charger and extension cord all wrapped up in a big towel and duct taped in a ball sitting under the seat between the motors/gearboxes <E>:shock:</...

kickingrass

<r>Look at the tire wear.... its like they bought a new grande and parked it in the sun as soon as the battery went dead the first time.. then let it sit there for 11 years <E>:o</E> maybe it was a failed attempt at solar recharging <E>:lol:</E> but whatever happened to it, i...

kickingrass

NOM NOM NOM NOM NOM :mrgreen:

kickingrass

:twisted: :twisted: Love the mudslinger :twisted: :twisted: should rock in the snow too :mrgreen:

kickingrass

Did not know they run slicks on dirt,but then i live north of seattle so its always mud tire season :lol:

kickingrass

Those are some good lookin cars Taz! Are You going to run locked or unlocked?
Arent slicks for asphalt???? Thought You were a dirt track kinda guy :o

almost a shame to get em dirty. (almost)

Gonna take a lot of beer to make that first scratch go away :shock:

kickingrass

Too true :shock: once a week might be too much :lol:
Thanks Taz!!!

kickingrass

<r>I prefer the dirt myself <E>:twisted:</E> the only reason i even thought about the asphalt is they run more often...The little guy loves to rod his go cart in the mud/dirt and he does NOT like to lose a race <E>:lol:</E> My Dad used to race modifieds on the dirt tracks in north dakota and minneso...

kickingrass

<r>Thanks Taz!!! Good to know the restrictors keep things more competitive so its not ALL about who spends the most <E>:o</E> Im north of Seattle and about 15 miles south of Defensivewound <E>:lol:</E> We have both asphalt and dirt tracks less than an hour away,not sure which way we will go yet... a...

kickingrass

<r>Thats freakin AWESOME Taz!!!!! <E>:mrgreen:</E> Ive been tryin to find one for my son to start next year,but the affordable ones are beat to **** and the decent ones are 3000 <E>:shock:</E> <E>:shock:</E> No way he gets a racecar that costs more than my REAL car <E>:cry:</E> Still looking, just g...

kickingrass

Sweet!! Should be a blast! where did you put the battery? Pics please

kickingrass

<r>I picked up some gator wheels from DW the other day, and those door panels look better in person than they do in the pics <E>:D</E> <E>:D</E> the level of detail is freakin amazing!!! That mustang has more goin on than has been shown too...... This is going to be a BEEYOOTIFUL machine <E>:mrgreen...

kickingrass

Looks GREAT!!! That radio is a perfect fit,where did you get it?

kickingrass

That looks GREAT in yellow!!! PVC makes good bumpers too

kickingrass

<r>You are CRAZY as bat doo doo <E>:mrgreen:</E> Your presence here is all the evidence needed <E>:lol:</E> But really that is how they work,its caused by switching the motors from series to parallel... im not really sure how it works,somebody smarter than me will have to explain the how...

kickingrass

Freakin COOL!!!!! :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

kickingrass

<r>That was my first and favorite mod... harbor freight wheels and 12v in a super 6 f150 <E>:mrgreen:</E> its harder (and more $$$) to get that big of an improvement on the bigger rides <E>:shock:</E> p.s. get a few extra gearboxes... the combo of higher voltage and waaaaaaay better trac...
