Hi there,
We've got one, I built it from the plans, out of MDF (cheaper than the fibre glass jobby that he sells!) It uses 2 85amp caravan type leisure batterys. They seem to last quite well, the only time they ran out was recently at a Discovery Owners Club camping weekend, where it saw a lot of use in a short space of time :)
I also rigged a remote kill switch so that any adult in charge has control of what to let the kids crash into :lol:

cheers Rich...my lot have also snapped something in the axle, as they only get the one wheel drive now...it has a "difflock".well did.. :D

Suffolk Punch 110 Engine
You know you want to.
Once I have everything done I fully intend to build one to a slightly larger scale and 4x4 it with a petrol engine.

:D Women drivers :lol: Our Jennifer does the same on a regular basis, in the drivers side hub there is a roll pin that transmits drive to the wheel when you turn the outer ring on the hub, pull it in and out, you'll see its sprung loaded. It's actually two roll pins, one inside the other for strength, they just need drifting out and a couple of new ones knocking in. My advice would be to buy a pack of ten! :)

These all run 110A leisure batteries and go all day.
Intelligent charging and remote cut offs as std

My mate uses them for kids parties as well as our charity fundraisers, and will have them at Peterboro this September.
