Love the rubber tires, I'll be looking to do that with my sons KFX soon, hopefully before winters over. Quick question though, how challanging was the conversion
Thanks |

| The handling will be better in every way imaginable. The worst downside you might see is a bit of push when turning, but probably not with the rubber tires. With only one wheel drive, the handling is terrible, always pulling to one side.... on top of getting stuck all the time! |

A little more progress on the 4wd upgrade,I had to fab up a holder to keep the gearboxes in place on the front.This idea actually comes from a pic that Fortis posted on one of his mods.I bent a piece of 1" flat stock steel around the box to make a cage and then welded it to the front spindle.Maybe a little overkill but it will work! Heres a couple pics.

Well I got the idea from you,I believe you have "wrapped"GBs in metal before for your spring return.Which by the way is another idea I want to use on something,just havent figured out where and what yet |

I think it will be a gearboxes nightmare!LOL ....thats why I bought spares from Gambler......I cant wait to see how this thing goes,havent decided if I should leave it at 12v or go on to 18v. |

Very nice project!
I think the suspense would get the best of me and I would have to at least try 18v. 
BTW: I have a mostly complete one with these with the same windshield/roll-bar/push-bar if you ever need anything from it. I'm not going to list it for sale, but I don't think I'm going to do anything with it either. |

I know what you mean,I did have it on 18v for about ten minutes last summer and forgot about the lights wired to the main on/off switch.Well you can probably guess no sooner than my son climbed on he hit the light switch and poof there went the headlight wiring! So I do know this thing will eat at 18v,just dont know how much carnage will be left behind . Oh and thanks for the offer on the parts,I will be sure and keep you in mind . |

| Those Mud Warriors/Dream Dazzlers get a bad deal. Everyone thinks they are worthless. So they're somewhat silly looking and the electronics suck.....but they are really well built beyond that. Great potential for modding. I like the way you can hide all the wires under the side panels. Go get that thing in the snow! |

Yea the tires are a pretty good fit for this thing.Taz- I agree these are terrible stock but have tons of modding potential,especially if you find one free..........I bought this one new  ....it was our first I didnt know any better.So I guess thats why I keep adding to this one maybe someday it will earn its keep,lol.As soon as momma gets home from work we are gonna try it out,I'll try to get a vid. |

Well we hit the snow last night and the results......kinda dissapointing . First thing I noticed was the front wheels looked to be spinning faster then the back,now the gearboxes are the same as I checked them when I greased them up.But the motors are different because I changed the original motors out of the back two GBs.Maybe there is enough difference in motor rpms that it is noticeable,not sure yet,I will put the stockers back in the rear and try again. The other thing was it keep kicking the breaker in the PW harness,so I plan on getting that thing out of there as it already has a 40 amp fuse by the battery.And I do believe its gonna be 18v when it comes back out to play in the snow. |

| Finally got back on my feet and got this thing "finished".I went ahead and bumped it up to 18v to see how it would go.Heres a vid of my oldest driving in about 3 inches of melting snow and slush.I didnt realize it until last night that he has pretty much outgrown this thing,but his little brother will be ready for it this summer. |

Excellent. Perhaps make a set of snow chains? (really easy to do, just use the light figure8 link chain fomr any hardware store.
I know it seems silly, given the drivng conditions, but at 18v on 6v rated motors, I would still suggest some passive heatsinks. That thing uses the same moptors and gearboxes as the Silver Quad and while 36v is not too much to ask of them, dissapating heat is critical from 12v up.
By the way, see if you can find a Crazy Cat quad somewhere. It is the big brother of the silver quad and uses the same gearboxes (meaning the same as this dream dazzler of yours, too). runs 12v as standard but swaping each 6v for 1v gets a very astonishing result at 24v out of it. If your son is outgrowing the smaller range, this is a really good next step and allows you to use interchangeable parts re GB's). I'll post some pics of the bike tomorrow.

| Thanks, Just a little update on the Mud Warrior:My 18 mo.old has been showing intrest in this little machine so the other day I decided to let him climb on in and give it a shot(at 12v).The first minute or two went well because the front wheels were kinda "locked" in one direction so that all he done was circles in the back yard.Soon after that he figured out how to jerk the steering wheel and get it goin straight,well then it was on! He got a real big kick out of watching me chase him down and try to stop him from crashing into everything in sight.Which is pretty hard since you cannot hold this thing back with all your might! It just wants to rare up and keep going,lol. So the morale of the story?.......This thing is getting a remote kill ASAP!!!!! |

Great post! Have a Mud Warrior that has been sitting for a couple of after the battery went dead, I how can I chk to see it he gearbox still works. Its been sitting outside under a tarp. And now my youngest is wanting it to work. so I rather fix this one up insteda of buying another. wanted to double up on battery from 6 to 12 and add another gearbox if the one oprginal is good or just get two more. is there any additional wiring to do this?

Yes you can add another gearbox to make it 2wd pretty easily,they already have a knockout on the other side for a motor.
You can purchase another gearbox from these places,http://recycledtoybarn.webs.com/apps/webstore/
Or try here,I dont see any listed but you may contact him thru emailhttp://nsawoodworking.com/Powered-Vehicles.html
As for the wiring you will want to upgrade to at least 12ga because the stock wires are too thin to handle running two motors.On this project I used an old pw harness from a jeep and added the wiring to the front motors.
Good luck and be sure to post pics of your project!Dont be afraid to ask more questions if you run into trouble |

I like the amount of light the ones you used put out. Thanks in advance and keep up the very nice mods!!
The lights are from auto zone I think,it has been a while since I put those on.But most auto parts store will have them,they are 12" strip lights. |

Good luck and be sure to post pics of your project!Dont be afraid to ask more questions if you run into trouble
Would it be okay to run 2 motors in parallel off of a larger capacity 6V battery, or do you still recommend going to 12ga for that? I can definitely see the need for upgrading the wiring if two motors were going to be running at 12V. I have one of these and would like to know what I should do in regards to the wiring if I stick with 6V and 2 motors. Thanks in advance!
You can give it a shot,there is a good chance that it will work fine with stock wires.I just recomended 12 ga for cheap insurance and to not have to redo the wiring again,lol
I guess it really depends on what the driving conditions will be.If it will be driven on hard flat surfaces with a small driver the stock wires should be fine but if your goin offroad,uphills,with a heavy load it wouldnt hurt to upgrade the wiring to 12awg. |

You can give it a shot,there is a good chance that it will work fine with stock wires.I just recomended 12 ga for cheap insurance and to not have to redo the wiring again,lol
I guess it really depends on what the driving conditions will be.If it will be driven on hard flat surfaces with a small driver the stock wires should be fine but if your goin offroad,uphills,with a heavy load it wouldnt hurt to upgrade the wiring to 12awg.
Thanks. I added a 2nd gearbox and motor to my Mud Warrior and left it at 6V. Unfortunately, it still crawls through the grass. I'll follow your advice of upgrading the wiring and going to 12V. Thanks!
