Which "Power Wheels Dune Racer" Type Vehicle Is Best?

[MAX28HST]

Your granddaughter will love the buggie!!! Tons of fun for them and for you - modifying it as your grand kids grow! I ended up going with the Dune Racer back in 2013, started off stock as 12v (my daughter was four), 2015 jumped to 18volts and now (2017) screaming at 24volts with new wiring harness and massive Traxxas Titan motors! Amazon a good resource, for example I'm running these two batteries one in back and other in front compartment -> Amazon.com: EnerSys Genesis NP12-12T - 12 Volt/12 Amp Hour Sealed Lead Acid Battery with .25 Fast-on Connector: Home Audio & Theater I then have re-geared the 7R cases with these to handle extra weight and two riders -> Amazon.com: Axial AX3842 Pinion Gear 32P 16T Steel 5mm Motor Shaft: Toys & Games By looking at it you'd never know it's modified!

Holding up well?

Well,, we are at about 6-8 outings,,
the battery outlasts the kids,, I think the ride is a little rough,,
they will get used to it.

Right now, they use it like a car,,
go to the sandbox, and play
go to the tree house, and climb
go to MeMe, and nag for food,,,

As they get more used to it,, I believe there will be more joy riding.
