My daughter's only complaint so far = "too bumpy" lol Its the "monster traction" version so its got deeper plastic tire tread and is a tad rough (for a 2.5 yr old girl). Get the thing in the grass and "monster traction" my a$$! She's got 5500sf of asphalt plus 1200sf of barn to ride it in, so no worries. After 10-min of riding while I held onto the windshield frame or her hand, she wants nothing to do with my help anymore, lol. ='(
And so far the 25A fuse seems to be doing fine, but I want to get a breaker for it instead.
Still amazed and a little impressed at how simple the electrical is in these little things. Its literally 1 battery + 1 plunger switch + 2 six pole rocker switches + 2 electric motors + some wire. It'd be a great little ''electrical 101'' project for a 10-12yr old kid. Lessons about checking continuity, splitting voltage, reversing polarity, Kurkov's Law, etc.
I found a pair of red LED clearance lights in my stash, plus the wad of LED bulbs/resistors will be here today. So she'll have running lights before the weekend is over.
Added: the plastic wheels and their traction...I think the plastic gearboxes appreciate the wheel slip. Too much traction and/or weight, and you're replacing gears.
Only problem I have so far is that I can't charge a battery and run a battery at the same time b/c I only have one of the factory female plugs. I'd have to rig something or else find a dead powerwheels battery from which to swipe the female plug.
