^^^ That is too cool. As soon as my boys outgrow their PW Mustang it's getting gas powered.

I haven't modified one for more power yet, but I have done a few traction modifications.

Get bicycle tubes and slide them over the wheels. HOOKS then!

Here is a video a friend of mine made of his daughters. He went WAY above and beyond!

That's when you find an old riding lawn mower and borrow the transaxle out of it. Then you go over to your neighbors car and borrow his starter motor, battery, and fan belts. :twisted: :lol:
