You can easily modify the steering to make it turn sharper. There is a limit tab under each wheel and under the steering wheel. Cut them off with a utility knife.
I think the flex seal might help, it's so much like grip tape, which I know you know all about it. good review for anyone looking to buy their kids a motorized car, I had 3 of them way back in the early 70's, so I bet they been quite improved. Happy New Year brother Rob, hope you and the family have a stellar filled 2018

Were does the charger plug into the battery or on the car we have the same one that was hand down to us and I think Mother law gave us the wrong charger lol
I know this is an old video but I was just wondering if my husband can modify it to go faster than the 5mph for an older child?? I know several years ago we were going to do it for my daughters but she grew out of it to quickly. But we bought this one for my son and was just wondering.
faith kimm thanks for checking it out! To be honest, I’m not sure how to speed them up faster. I have seen where folks have but I’m not sure how they did it? Sorry.
I know it's an old comment. A lawn mower battery works great in these! We use them at my parents house and my kids go pretty fast! Faster charging too!
My daughters CareBears dune buggy stop working and I thinks its a peice missing. Do you guys have a video or still have the instructions that might help me out?
Alma Delia Sorry to hear that! We don’t have the instructions or manual any longer. I’m wondering if there’s isn’t one online you could look at? Try google. Sorry I’m not much help here.. Thanks for watching!
Thank you so much didn't come with instructions so didn't know why it was very very slow now thanks to you we took out the screw. WOW

Corpse1984 make a video of how to modify steering.
I might have to do that. Thanks
Thank you. We got this as a gift and I knew nothing about it going faster. Now it does🙌
This is an straight forward simple review. Thank you fellow dad!
Just got this for my son. Cant wait to get it assembled. Thank u

Did you end up adding the Flex Seal or bed-liner? Thanks!
Had ours for 2 years, never knew about the screw!! Thanks for this!
Fantastic video thank you for sharing on my way to Walmart now on sale $199.00
Does it have a on off button switch or anything? Or is it just a jump in and go, like the old ones from 20 years ago
I have the newest one and the shift knob is different. Wondering how to get the newer one to go 5mph
Just gave one to my 4 year old. He loves it!
The steering can be sharpened by quite a bit. I just finished doing mine and it's night and day difference.
You were able to modify it so it makes sharper turns?
@@JrT001 Yup, way sharper. It involves dremeling a new nut and cutting some plastic on the steering column.
How do you know if battery is charging? There is no light indicator

Whats the weight limit...is it good for two kids?
Is there a on n off switch? I charge the battery n it's not working

What happens if you favent used it after 2 years
I can’t find where to plug it in
You will need to disconnect the battery and plug the charging cord directly into the battery
My daughters CareBears dune buggy stop working and I thinks its a peice missing. Do you guys have a video or still have the instructions that might help me out?

Does it come with Remote control ? My kid is 3 year old he doesn’t know how to drive

@@TMSAHI no
There's a vid ... Where they put a cut up bike tire around the wheels and screw them on..
Dose have remote control to be moved by parents
How fast does it go???
how long does the battery last per ride?
bogus696996 I’ve never timed it but it seems like 30 - 45 mins. It also seems to last longer if it’s in low gear.
When turning left sharp the wheel touches frame and wheel doesn’t turn just slides. Any known fixes?
Cotter pin that holds the wheels on are installed inncorrect
Parent controlled?
santa got me one of those for christmas
Does it have an on/off switch?
erica0206 it doesn’t. It just doesn’t go until you push the pedal.
Thanks for checking out the video!
Does the shift have to be in a certain position to start?
Will it go on gravel
The wheels are on backwards just assembled mines and made the same mistake
My grandson car will not go in reverse now.
he. is. 3 years old
Compre unos la bateria esta mala .por donde enciende .como se arranca no tiene chucho
I just finished assembling my grandsons, and notice the front wheels are toed in, anyone have this issue ,and solution. Nothing was bent or damaged ??
Oh cool
