“Looks fun and durable”. 2 seconds later after you actually buy it: 1. Engine failure 2. Bad carbarator 3. Brake lines explode 4. Brake lines leak and explode 5. Battery becomes pregnant 6. Chain drops 7. Plywood hidden behind seat breaks 8. Mirrors fall off 9. Fuel tank leak 10.over heats and smokes + etc,
The exact same one I just recently bought, but I have decked everything out and I got it to go up to 75 mph and I have fixed every single problem in it and it is way better paid $3000 in total for fixing everything they are not a piece of junk they’re very fun. There’s just a couple problems that I fix up
Is 75 mph a typo? Did you mean 75 kph (since these have speedometers in kilometers per hour, not miles per hour). 75 kph is about 47mph and that probably is 20 mph faster than the stock mini jeeps will go.The stock kph speedometers in these aren’t very accurate either. I installed a GPS speedometer in mine. It’s larger and in miles per hour with a trip meter and keeps total hours and total milage on its digital display but the speedometer readings are the large sweep needle analogue look. Very accurate mph. My top speed was 28. There’s a bolt below the gas pedal that acts like a governor. Running the bolt all the way down to the floor board allows for more throttle. My mini jeep is a Coolster GK-6125 (125cc), not the Massimo. Mine will get up to 32mph running it for short bursts but running a minute or more at full speed starts heating it up considerably so don’t run it full throttle for very long or you’ll have your head bolts backing out like mine did! They are a lot of fun but not reliable for long. Mine came with a bad starter right out of the crate. Original starter’s gear was covered in dirty metallic shavings and barely turned the engine over…not fast enough to get it to start. It also would have dead spots on the starter and I’d have to rock it while in gear to move the starter contacts to work. Also had a large bang sound every third or fourth start attempt which eventually broke the starter chain. Replaced two starter chains three times so far. If you have a small hill or slope like me, turn the key on, put it in neutral and push it to about 3-4 mph and pop it in first gear to start it! Watch “Will it make it to Moab” on RU-vid. A young british engineer documented his 1,000 mile backroads trip to Moab. He had several mechanical failures along the way. Seemed like every 100 miles it needed repaired! You should make a RU-vid video if yours does 75 mph! You’d go viral!
Hey can you post a tutorial on how you did it, I’m getting one and would love to see your finished work and what it would look like for me to upgrade the mini jeep also, thank you!
I have a 2002 R1 torn apart in my garage right now…..don’t tempt me. Theres also another timber wolf 250 Ive got torn apart lol ideas are floating around right now
