I agree, which is why you could see my misconception of the general Chinese products. Like I said, I stand corrected. But if Kasey can get that kind of power from a 70cc Lifan, then a 110cc with three forward gears and reverse should be a great replacement engine for this thing. My son loves it, refuses to ride the ATC, cause he could give his cousins rides on this. But we are restricted to just dirt for now.
I think I am going to take my chances on that Lifan. Kasey made an excellent impression on me, and the engine swapp could not be more direct. It would remove the CVT and give him reverse as well. I bought that little quad in hope the rear axle hubs would match up, and I could increase the tire size.
I only paid $350 for the quad, so worse come to worse, I should be able to sell it for atleast that.
I don't think the cable set up for the shifter would be a hard thing to do, all it would take is a push/pull, and small fabs for the attachment and adjusting. Overall very simple compared to a tear down of my 110 ATC to accomplish the end results of more power, but no electric start or reverse.
Don't worry Vealmonkey, no hard feelings, I am a big boy and can take critism, I am just embarressed, truly thought they all where the same. But that video Kasey put up proves me wrong, and really inspires a general feeling of hope to get my son a really nice toy to play with. Don't know if you have seen much of these little go karts, but they all are way under powered and really suck. But for the price, you really do get a bitchin' little frame and suspension. The engine mod is or looks like it would be worth it!
