Anybody have one of these yet?

They look cool as heck. Increases my desire to move back to CA. Preferably someplace near the Desert. Are there any of the San Bernardino high Desert areas left that aren't filled with Meth labs?

The MSRP is pretty much what I have into my 5th scale radio controlled race car...

The kids got these for Christmas and the 11 yr old says she wants something faster. It must be genetic :)

Hmmm Large utility quad engine meets chassis of a Trophy Kart. Things that make you go Hmmmm................. I have a Polaris Sportsman 700. Stock with a carb it makes 35 HP. Fuel injected model makes a little more HP and a bunch more torque. Find a wrecked utility quad with CV drive like a Polaris or Kawi and transplant it in a Trophy Kart. Then sit back and watch the show. lol My quad with me on it is over 1000 lbs and will do 65+ mph. Imagine it in a 500-600 lb Trophy Kart? Yikes!

Nope. Saw the video and still wasn't really impressed. I paid 2/3rds less for this:

Cheaper, more power, runs most of the day on a single tank of 93 octane.
