[QUOTE="black92, post: 16893402, member: 37980"] We have a 12V Dune Racer and 12V Jeep. When we just had the dune racer, I bought a 12V LiFeP04 battery because the original was lucky to go 20 minutes and took 18 hours to charge. The new battery lasts over an hour and recharges in 2 hours. The Jeep I got for free because the shifter was “broken.” Took it apart, everything looked fine, put it together and off we went! Noticed it was more sluggish than the dune racer, so I ordered an 18V plug adapter to utilize my 18V Ryobi batteries. Huge improvement in both machines (especially the dune racer) and running in the middle of summer on 18V, kids burned the motors up, so I swapped to RS775 motors and no problems yet. With them, I can upgrade to a 24V battery setup, but the boss said no more modding… Both need new tires because they’ve spun them bald. Between the two, the dune racer is easily the fastest on the same battery even though it has smaller tires. It is also much easier to drive, but might be a little too big for a 2yo. My 4yo was driving it when she was 3, but I had to put a pillow behind her to scoot her up. [ATTACH type="full"]1786214[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full"]1786213[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
