I bought 1, so far I’ve reworked the spare tire bracket because the wheel set crooked, added a 22” light bar on top of the windshield, added a 8 ball shifter knob & used the old knob for an imitation 4x4 lever that I made, wireless winch. They are fun to play with. Our little dog loves riding in it. Ours runs about 40mph as well
That thing is dang cool looking. As far as the addition of a winch for weight, I would definitely upgrade to a regular sized automotive battery......batteries are nothing but HEAVT.
And just for those that don’t have the Chinese ones like I do it’s nice that the engine is underneath the gas tank in the hood and also it’s nice that you can put in engines like lawnmower engines and those for them to work as well. My buddy has one of these and he has got a 444 cc Duramax lawnmower engine in it and let me tell you that thing has balls to the wall specially when we found out about the break bump stop thanks to this guy🎉
Mine are sealed. Got the Massimo from Tractor Supply. Just because there is a grease fitting doesn't mean anything. If you grease a sealed bearing it just puts grease between the housing and outer race of the bearing.
I would recommend getting it from the tractor supply centers or something like that not Amazon because Amazon‘s has a different set up. It looks just like it, but it’s the Chinese version so that means the break is actually a little lever right on the steering wheel at least mine it is, just like the Chinese one that I got is 2 Wheel
Those rear axles snap very easy. I broke 2 in 6 months and the mini jeep is only 6 months old. The headlights run the batteries dead in less than 30 minutes as well because it has no charging system. It will also constantly foul spark plugs, and suck dust into the carburetor..I honestly cannot recommend these things at all. mine also vibrates very badly.
Just bought one today. Thx for the info!

Grease the back two bearings, my driver side one didn't have grease in it at all. Good video man, subbed for updates.

Excellent video with some good advice 👍

How'd you bolt that winch down i see you have a plate most ppl make 2 plates with 3.5" long bolts and lock washer
I think there's a guy that drove one of these across Utah as a challenge 😂
Yes I watched that, it was nuts
How fast does this one go? I have the one by X-Pro that goes 45mph.
How did you adjust your shocks?
Schultz your my hero , IYKYK, he knows nothing , sees nothing , he wasn't even here , i didn't get out of bed this morning , leave a comment why
Love to know where you got the battery!
Just a Walmart battery it was like $68
