The rule of thumb back when the original 6 wheel ATVs came out was that if you had a roll bar you wanted to wear seat belts, but if you didn't you don't. On the latter, if it rolls, you're far better off if you're thrown clear rather than having roll over on top of you every time. At least you have a chance if you're not buckled it.

For a guy that didn't want any new projects, you did quite a bit. 😊 Good job. I enjoyed the video. Thanks

While it’s not a quick video, unlike other channels- every second of this video was useful! Most people talk about so much extra crap. Only thing worth mentioning, I bet you all the loose bolts were from that store. It comes only partially assembled in box when they order them. Some teenager put that seat on

You convinced me that I don't need the headache involved. Thank you.

Well, I hate to say it! I bought one six years ago, and I have had no trouble. I have had nothing but fun and years of enjoyment! It’s perfect! I do appreciate what improvements you want to make, but make sure that you don’t make it sound like it’s no good without the improvements. I have not turned a wrench on mine one time! Just one battery.

Yeah, the roll bar sounds like a good idea.

Nice mods and your garage/shop is really nice, great that you have this knowledge and you’re passing it down to your children.

Had the same sprocket issue on mine hours after running, implemented the same fix…working great.

Reminds me of the 1974 Cadillac that my parents bought brand new Cadillac spent more time in the shop the first year we had it traded it in on a Lincoln. Mom dad said it was the best thing they ever did.

Saw it and the tractor before Christmas in store in the Greenville TX store. Very cute and priced affordable. All you need is a playti ride it. Loved it

Talk about "product improved"!!! The manufacturer ought to watch this video and get to work!😊

You guys have a really nice spread! Perfect place for setting up a mini-jeep race course, in fact. 😀

Good vid. Thank you. Lots of good detail and tips. Been looking at these and researching… might end up pulling the trigger on one….

My cousin bought his son a new coolster 3speed mini Willy's jeep 125cc new in 2016. After a year only issue was throttle cable attachment behind the gas pedal broke and seemed to have been bolted with the cable bent. I work on small engine equipment at my home shop so made some simple adjustments and i have little cheap speed gun and got 42mph with my son 125lbs back then flat asphalt side road. Don't know how other brands are but the coolster was impressive for a china made one. Im 45 and 230lbs and it was surprisingly fast. Thought I was over weight limit but no because has a 400lb weight limit. Before all that i changed the oil and put amsoil in it and tossed the chinese torch brand spark plug and put a ngk in it. Pretty cool little ride but $2,500 plus and easily over 3 grand after taxes. Fairly expensive.

Excellent video. You’re going to gain subs fast once these start getting promoted. Nice insight about these little Jeeps. 🏁

I would check the Jerry can for use for fuel. Remove the fuel tank over the engine and route a fuel line to the bottom of the Jerry can . (new easy to fill fuel tank). Also it can now be filled with a hot engine. If the oem fuel tank was part of the engine’s air cooling system, you may need to construct an air duct.

Thanks for the info. We were going to buy one, and you saved me 2,500 dollars minimum.

Good stuff man. I work for a kymco dealer. They are Taiwanese. In the dealer manual they give you 1 hour flat rate to uncrate the things, put everything together, and be ready on the showroom floor. We’ve gotta double check every nut and bolt and basically build the damm things so customers don’t have issues like you. Put a roll cage and harness in it

Replace one of the drive sprocket washers with a flat roller bearing. Like people put on the lawn mower front end steering spindles, to make them easier to steer. Grease the bearing up on a regular bases. I would just spray drive chain grease into the bearing when lubing the drive chain.

I’m glad you did not want another project 😂. I totally understand. I like to tinker also . Great video.

Very helpful vid man, thanks!

I just bought one about a month ago. Thanks for the info. Going to check the front sprocket tonight when I get home from work.

*If you’re gonna buy one of these, get the X-Pro model!!! It’s the best when it comes to features and power. The upgraded Zongshen engine is very nice.*

Thanks for the advice! Appreciate you sharing this

Just bought one last week. Thought your upgrades were very interesting. Have already been driving it and very impressive little machine. Going to check out everything on it before we ride it again

There's a great opportunity for someone to package upgrade kits for these. Great review!

I like that 61inch cut bad boy zero turn

Great tip on the Gear Chewing up the case

Since your kids drive it, maybe out a 96”whip CB antenna with the orange dune buggy flag on top. I know everyone has cell phones, but some of us still use CB’s. Walkie talkie’s use channel 14. An adapter would make the antenna operational. The flag makes it easier to see where they are.

That magic word.. and "Then".. lol Great job.

Good video, nice mods.

hanks for the info. We were going to buy one, and you saved me 2,500 dollars minimum.

If you get an Xpro mini Jeep you can avoid most of the issues associated with these. I think they’re the best ones made and come with a Zongshen engine, which are pretty reliable plus it’s a rear mounted engine. No issues with mine.

This English KZfaqr did a 1000 trip in Utah. Biggest 2 things were the Chinesium welds broke all over the place and don’t run the engine hot!!!Chinesium engine internals danger😆😆😆. That thing is awesome!

Good video, can't wait for more updates. Mine had absolutely no grease in one of those rear bearings too, if I didn't see this I would've just assumed it was good to go.

Thank you for this video 😊

Hopefully, they'll fix the sprocket deal soon. Nice upgrades. A lot more than I would've done. LOL! Should come with metal floorboards. Cheap decals. Go drab green. You've got yours's fixed up pretty good now. Nice place to ride there. I'll check back for updates and upgrades. 👍

Epic Upgrades!

Find or make some brass washers to go between the sprocket and the case. They are soft and have some lubricious properties as well.

I’d still get one lol. They are cool. My Coleman minibike has been the shit

Careful Tiny Tim.

Thank You Very Much For Sharing 👍

Great video. Def considering one of these to play around with. Your audio levels are all over the place though.

As for that Floorpan, just use some fender washers. That will eliminate that dimple caused by the overtightened bolts.

They have a flat needle bearing washer type out there that I saw on utube to help the lawnmower steering out of the front axles! I believe there are many sizes out there that maybe another way to help the sprocket wear.

👍🏾Sir, You are making America great again🎯

I had a good friend in high school “75” who him and his dad bought a ww2 willies jeep in a crate. They had to put everything together so every nut built or screw the put together. They knew it was all tight. Maybe if you could buy the mini in a crate, it wouldn’t have the problems yours seemed to have!

Your improvements should have been standard. You turned a piece of crap into a nice toy. Good job.

I JUST learned that tractor supply sells these, and so I am going down the mini jeep rabbit hole now lol for the longest time we only had one tractor supply here in town, but I've never seen one of these over there. Then again, I have never really looked for anything like this because I had no idea that they would even carry or sell anything like this, but again, again, I go there pretty often and I've never seen one... But, we do have a new location that was recently built and I'm willing to bet they probably will have them at the new location, probably you know till like stand out from the other one from like a store competitor standpoint. I don't even know if the new ones open to the public yet, but I'm definitely going to go look for one and see if I can at least get a test drive lol This would absolutely be perfect for teaching a young person how to drive stick shift (without sacrificing your own transmission in your own truck lol).

You shouldn't have to do all that work when it costs so much. Excellent job and thanks for the video.

There was a series of videos where some crazy fool drove one of those mini jeeps to Moab, Utah. Great series, funny too. Lots of swearing, so not family safe. 🙂

Golf cart wheels can be swapped… they have cool chrome offset wheels with grippy tires. Watched a guy drive one of these through to Moab once. You can search for the KZfaq documentary.

I got a Panzer Tractor when I was 7 years old great

There is a guy driving one of these 1000 miles to Moab. He has also driven around the world on a 90cc Honda. Fun guy, 90cc Adventures is his channel.

You'll love it, as long as you replace or improve nearly everything! It's not a project, and it only cost $2,500! 😂 Seriously, though, nice job fixing it. I don't think I'll be buying one for that price, if I still need to put that much time and money into making it work right.

Kewl lil Jeep……..👍👍👍👍👍

Seatbelts keep you from smashing forward and bouncing up… that’s about it. Love the green tunnel/ monkey trail you drove through.

Mmmm...go cart or mini jeep??? Excellent upgrades.

A great and informative video. These are super popular today and for good reason. The Chinese need better quality control. Suggestion: Turn up your recording volume. Thanks

I would use some type of nylon spacer between sprocket and case. You may have to replace it occasionally, but atleast it would take the wear and friction wouldn't cause the washers wear on the case.

Be sure to reinforce the floor pan! My friends brother died from a stick poking a hole up through the floor board on a Razor 4 person 4wheeler!

You need to do a video of how you tighten bolts using a fine tooth comb ;-)

If you have the tools for it consider making a custom exhaust that exits out of the rear.

nice job on the upgrade, i just don't know if everyone wants or can think as mechanically as you. especially when its brand new. the sprocket issues is very much a problem that massimo should get fixed before selling anymore of these!

I love it, I want it

Wouldn't it be easier to make the floor board out of lightweight aluminum checker plate. Using the floorboard for mud flaps. Make a metal frame for the open area in front of the floorboard and again. Using aluminum checker plate . Really like the upgrades.

Like your videos

Get Hrade 8 washers they are heavy duty enough oil them every time before starting it get a squeze oil can bungy it on or drip oil on it !

Great video. I wish this would work out of the box, though. Seems like a lot of basic work just to get it ready to run.

This thing looks like fun, not that I'm interested in this stuff. My Dad is interested in the doodlebug community and this doesn't look far from that. Love the classic Willy's look!

You should fabricate a small howitzer and hitch to put on the back

Look at all the darn warning stickers, we are warned to death. I hope I don’t break a nail removing them all. Don

Instead of 2 washers use one and a transmission part called a thrust bearing. With the rollers bearing on the side sandwich the bearing with a washer then you don't have to worry about the case. You can buy thrust bearings in nearly any size any reputable parts shop should have them.

seems like more trouble then its worth thank you for talking me out of it lol

It might last longer/reduce future wear if you replace those 2 stacked washers with a self-lubricating bronze thrust washer.

Do you think you could fit a snow plow blade to the front end? or do you figure it would need 4wd?

Kinda want one

Need to mount a 50 caliber on the hood for them Pesky Armadillos 😂

Thanks so much for saying Price so many You Tubers DON:T say Price

C90 adventures drove one of these across moab, very painfully.

Just picked one of this up as well for my 7 year old daughter. since you have a speedo in there, how fast does this thing actually go? That battery is puny for sure. Going to change that exhaust? bet you could add a little power and make it sound better with different little mini exhaust. My daughter is near your son's size, ive found some of these other mini jeeps with dual adjustable seats, wonder if that is a smart upgrade to allow them to reach the pedals better. subbed.

Paint it OD green, stick a toy MG on it and have the kids tool around in it!

Blue locktight will stop the bolts from comming out try it !

I would have fixed the sprocket by making a cap that went over the retainer and pushed on the end of the shaft.

Glad I watched this. I now know what I'm not buying!

Add the mirrors to make it street legal... As well as a bicycle turn signal set

That was awesome public service. Thank you!... If I were to spend money I would at least know how to be efficient in making the machine usable over time. 😂 It's Chinese so: taking all apart, will enable you to attach and torque fasteners correctly. And fix all engineering shortcomings, to have something that lasts more than one outing.

I only have one question, is the engine made in China?

If you would be concerned about those metal washers wearing through your case go buy brass washers so that you won't wear your case out

I saw a video of a guy who drove one of these fully packed down for about a 500 miles through the dessert.

I have to have the rear engine and fancy rims.

Not a assembled piece of equipment I don't go over first to make sure stuff was assembled correctly. I don't care where it is made, some assembler having a crap day or it's late friday, etc. But I also worked at a ford dealer and seen brand new 2 mile cars with air ratchets in the doors, diffs empty, wrong parts on it (Said mazda not ranger, yes, way back). Either way I order online so I get the crate and assemble myself.

My neighbor bought one and sold his new ford pickup, said it will be his vehicle now and saving on insurance will pay for it in three months, he drives it every where now 😊😊😊 Great ideal

Should have bought a Roxor.

be even more fun if you put a train horn kit in it

Holy smokes though the kind of toy you could build for $2,400🤯🤯

I'd like to upgrade my kids from their power wheels to something like this because they've about outgrown them, but $2500 for that build quality is hard to swallow. I miss the days of my childhood when you could get a little Murray go-kart at Lowes for $500 new and beat the piss out of it without much worry. Might look for a broken one someone is trying to get rid of cheap and drop a little Predator engine in it or something.

Find a wafer bearing to go with the washers

What tool did you use to adjust the shocks higher?

Pues si se desprende alguna particula quedara atrapada en el filtro de gasolina, esa es su funcion, el filtro de gasolina filtra hasta 20 micrones: no veo el problema.
