Super Dad! Giddy Up!!

the little jeep idea is one i have tossed around. I dont thind that the 8 hp motor will get it. put a palaris quad motor in it. four stoke, more like 30 some hp with 5 speed trans and revers. I think thay have drive shafts front and rear. <IMG SRC="smilies/scary.gif" border="0">

Now my hubby wants to build one for our daughter! She is only 2!! Oh well start them out early I guess.


She is pretty good at drivin the XJ with daddy's help!

The 50 to 80CC quads go for 1600.00 new and they grow out of them fast so there are a easy find used for 500/1000.

i'm building my boy a mini,
all tube frame
XR350 motor
4whl indepent susp. built from older subaru
runs 30's on subaru rims.
its 4WD with the subaru running gear,
2 seater for his freind the whole thing is only a little bigger than a honda pilot.
its almost done.
this is up from the go-kart i put quad susp on a few years back.

we got one for our lil girl it rocks!!!!!!

Why not try to find a 4wd quad with a good motor and axles.You may be able to find one some one crashed or a theft recovery cheap.Then put the quad drive train in a home made tube frame.

??
The T.O.V. is just like an auto tranny... it(9:1), the trans case (2 sumptin to 1), and the axle gears (3.55?) would give it something like a 60 sumptin crawl ratio... The T.O.V. is the same thing used in the little kids drag cars....

the only draw back of a quad is that the axles are soooooo skinny.

8hp, it's simple and gear'd more for the "kids"....my.02

My kid would love something like this, he's a powerwheels psyco, but starting to out grow it. Those are some good ideas.
