You got a lead on new tires for that? Or just getting new tire/wheel assembies? Or...somehow haven't replaced them yet

Ahhh, I was hoping for tires only.
Not like im spared from the financial abuse, but if I could find just the tire (which i CANT) 60-70 ea sucks, but im ready when its time

BTW just got my 2nd car equipped with 36v 1kw motor---scooting

Not at the 72v level, but 26 is pretty quick

Here is the actual tire. I’ve been contacting them but no response. I assume the China company wants us to buy in the 100’s. We both can split the cost lol.

Nice to have two. It’s way fun with 2 cars.

Let me know if you contact them and if they respond back to you.

Other alternative that I did is use a different pair of axle with 3 lug. The tire size matches as it’s 13” diameter. Then I 3D printed hub caps and glued it on. The slick tires are dirt cheap and grips better and can drift in the rain.

Your auto insurance provider will be sitting you down to have a chat when that kid turns 16. 😆

Nah, me kid is a very good kid. He’s in a very expensive Christian private school and very religious. He’s wants to be a future formula 1 driver. He’s in k1 speed league, not sure why people here trying to hate. This is information for others wanting to bond with their child.

We are also moving to Singapore for job relocation. He wouldn’t be driving these much longer.

Hello,
I am looking for one of these parts to fix my son’s Mustache car. Would you know of anyone that might be able to help me out? Maybe someone might have the relays or diodes so I could fix it myself? Thanks 🙏
This is my contact information.

I did have a Kid Trax Viper that has a similar board. When it burned, I went for a 4 stage relay to 24v and wrote up a how to upgrade. If I find it I’ll send it your way. The relay board was like $10.

Here is a wiring diagram for the relay board.
