new project build....
Times are tough...time for a small scale build up
Salvaged this kawaski PW from the neghibor. Mechanicals and electrics are repaired. Broken down, de-stickerd and ready for paint as the Monster Energy ATV. No 6V Nitous circut yet...my 3 year old's not ready...maybe by the fall
I have issues....I know...

My older brother is into that, He has about 15 jeeps and some others in his yard that my sister in law gets off of freecycle. My he upgrades the wiring in them and and sticks a cheapo lawn mower battery in them. My little nieces do donuts, burn outs and they go fast. Little faster than a garden tractor on full speed.

Cold man...cold...
That is my style though...its like missing one hubcap on a Benz...but just a little more ghetto fabulous.
You can get nutty with these things...like most subjects, masive forums are dedicated to modding them. I stick with AGM batts intended for alarm system back ups. More expensive, but sealed and no chance of a leak if its dumped over.

Here's a possible solution for your tire tread problem. I just cut the side wall out of a dirt bike tire, cut it in half, wrapped it around and screwed it on. I don't recall what size it was but it was the perfect length to do both rears.
It don't get stuck in grass anymore, that's for sure. It's also running on a small automotive battery.

I found the ones I have in the neighbors trash
I have seen them at garage sales in the past and a few on craigslist in the past two weeks . They were asking too much IMO...$100-150 for the non Huricane ones...if it was the Hurricane, not a bad deal
Most need a new battery. A new PW batt is $70...a comp AGM batt is $50(think of it as a small optima, no leakage or explosive out gasing)
I'll keep my eye out for you!
