Any tips for tire swaps on them? My son has a jeep and the “off road” plastic tires make it bounce around on the sidewalk.my kids love their power wheels. if u ever get into modding them heres a great link to some "go fast" parts lol
Stage I Kid Trax Motors
This is a matched pair of 550 High Performance motors for Kid Trax Dodge Ram Pickups, Chargers, and Land Rover Defenders. Also works with Kid Trax Firetrucks that have a 19T pinion on the stock motor. Just unbolt your old motor and bolt in the new one. These motors will add significant speed...www.mltoys.com
Mine said the same thing. I’m in South Florida, the place I go to does all high end cars and they refuse to do sunroofs.
I used snips to cut the wire bead on old mtn bike tires, cut tire in half, unroll and flatten and self tapping screws to attach to plastic "tires". Only on rears. Works great.
I will be very interested to hear your thoughts on the tune, especially the initial lag, and the shift speed and force. I hope they have actually dyno and street developed a tune to quicken etorque shifts. I heard a charger with good mufflers take off thru the gears and almost cried at how lethargic my truck was when I first got it. Back in my day, if you had 400hp, you were movin'.
Back in your, and my, day, 400hp from factory was moving. But now it's slow. If our trucks didn't weigh 1000lbs more than a Charger R/T, they would be just as fast.I will be very interested to hear your thoughts on the tune, especially the initial lag, and the shift speed and force.

I know a lot of people use bike tires and cut the sidewalls off and secure them to the center of the power wheels- wheels lol or if you are good with a welder I’ve seen people cut off the ends of the axles and weld on hubs of their choice.
When you say lethergic, are you talking lack of grunt, or strictly slow shifting? I ask because mine shifts great, it just runs like, well, a 5000+ pound truck with "only" 400 hp.I will be very interested to hear your thoughts on the tune, especially the initial lag, and the shift speed and force.

0-60 spends half it's time in torque management, just no "snap". A charger without etorque and with a tune is a beautiful thing. I realize the weight penalty, but it's just slow for what my 4 trucks ago 350hp pumper carb 13 sec shift-squawkin' truck was. Mine as a tradesman probably has anti abuse protection (GM trademark) as well. I feel it's programming, because when I pull a trailer, I definitely accel faster than my last 300hp GM, so hoping...
Hit the traction control button. There is torque management to smooth shifts, but the shifts should be faster than your old auto tranny truck. Especially on the 8-speed. I think what you are feeling is the fact that the shifts keep the RPMs higher, so there isn't as dramatic of a difference in acceleration when it does shift. Soni sted of going from 5500rpm down to 3500rpm on a shift it only drops to 4500rpm.
The dealer here said 3 year warranty on the glass work when mine was replaced in MA.
I actually get better gas mileage at freeway speeds with my Pulsar set to performance than in economy. trying to get a comparison around town now with the larger tires, but haven't had a good consistent drive cycle since I switched back to performance. On stock tires and with stock front bumper, I got 1.5mpg better around town. But I feel the larger tires and heavier front bumper have made more of a hit in city fuel mileage than highway
You will need to either send your PCM to be unlocked, or buy an unlocked PCM. Then you can mess with hptuners.Warranty will be done in about 4 months. Then try to get what, $1k, past the wife. I have 4 credits left on my hptuners, so I think I need to buy 2 more(?) for this truck.
I've watched the performance sub forum, but it isn't moving at all. Hope I'm not wasting too much time here, if I haven't done anything yet.
Hopefully it's something similar here! I'll have to review the paperwork
