#35 - Razor PR200 Pocket Rocket

Can't wait to get batteries in this thing and take it for a spin! Thanks for the trade, Battman!
I'm probably going to make this a resto project in the fall and sell it for some xmas cash. I'm not sure how I feel about keeping it for my daughter. I've seen a lot of videos of kids riding/handling these pretty well, but I think I'll err on the side of caution this time...

#36 - Chalky MF Jeep

I picked this up for parts for the Beach Buggy flip... I'm keeping the wheels and harness. If anyone wants something off it, let me know.
Oh, and it came with a free ant farm!

#37 - Step2 Gigante

Not sure what I was thinking buying this one, but when I picked up the red MF above, I asked the lady if she had any others. She showed me this thing and I offered her $5 for it... it had about 2 gallons of water inside the body! I had to drill out a hole with my knife to drain it before putting it in my trunk. I'll slap a battery in it and get a few bucks for it, I hope!

[Battman2036]

let me know if you need some cut vinyl for the resto on the pocket rocket. I'm anxious to see what you do to it.

[SAHDman]

He's going to turn it into the bat cycle

[Battman2036]

now that would be awesome!!!!

[landon]

Happened to be at the right place at the right time (RARE for me, lol) to purchase a few brand new PW gearboxes today!!
I ended up with 21 total. Mostly #7R. With motors.
I'll make a post in the for sale section when I'm ready to start selling.

[Eraser]

Odd score, but nice........interested.

[SAHDman]

Man I still can't believe you got those today. I told my wife she better like the clothes we bought today because her shopping trip cost me a boat load of parts haha

[landon]

Who says you can't polish a turd?
Here's the old-school Beach Buggy I picked up for $10:


Finally got a few hours today to clean it up and make it sell-able:



Now I just have to wire the 2x 6V aftermarket batteries into it and get it the heck outta my garage!

[Battman2036]

nice!

18V MiniMoto Honda


Came with an 18V battery (seems to be a single large SLA) and charger. Runs great! A little slow to keep for myself, but it's super sharp so I think I'm going to hang on to this one and see if my daughter wants to try it out in a year or two.
Got it in trade for a Razor E200!

[bruces_eviltwin]

im really liking that beach buggy!

im really liking that beach buggy!

Thanks, Bruce!
The 20 year old gearboxes ended up getting swapped for some newer #7s when a buyer came to try it out. Thing barely moved with the weight of a kid on it. They need to be stripped and regreased. I think I have 6-8 MF GBs in my collection, now! Time to sell some, I think...

[gwinnythepooh]

Love the beach buggy! I have one about same age I need to get to!

Arctic Cat

$40 with charger and what appears to be a good battery. It's not as faded as the picture makes it look, btw...
Needs wheels (which I've got), a shovel, hood straps, seat belts, something for the hole in the dashboard (a key, I'm guessing?), and a bath.

[whkwt184]

Not bad for $40. I had one and sold it. Wish I didn't. It was cool on 18 volts

[SAHDman]

Congrats on the artic cat! It was super tempting when I saw the ad!

Thanks for letting me have it! hahahaa!
I ended up having them deliver it for some gas money... he offered when I told him that I'd have to disassemble most of it to get it to fit in my Saturn!

[Battman2036]

Nice job. Tell Sahdman he's done and keep rolling.

[SAHDman]

My poor garage looks barren. I have no rides to flip

[landon]

Yeah...
Oh so barren:

My heart bleeds for you, sir.

[whkwt184]

That's just wrong......

[whkwt184]

Nice John Deere gaucho btw......

[SAHDman]

Well maybe not barren then . How about it's just void of flippers? I need to get my Rockin put together and get a better family photo

[landon]

GATOR


Scored this beauty for $40 with used battery and charger. Looks barely driven!
Had to disassemble it in the seller's driveway to get it to fit in my Saturn... but totally worth it!

I haven't tested anything on it, yet... PO states the battery is shot (which I believe). But hopefully it's as nice mechanically as it is cosmetically!

[Battman2036]

Let me know what your status on it is. I may have a buyer for you if you want to flip it.

[landon]

There's enough "keepers" in my garage, so once I get it reassembled and the battery situation figured out, I'll sell it. I'm going to try to get around $200 for it.

Dune Racer - Hot Wheels Style
$50!! Came with dead battery, charger, owners manual. Looks barely driven and the high speed lock-out screw was still in place!





Debating if I should bother putting one of my new 12v 12ah SLAs in it, or just sell it with a working OEM of unknown strength (haven't been able to test it for duration).
What would you do?

[landon]

Bob the Builder - Back Hoe

Couldn't pass this little guy up for $10! The tiny 6V battery shows a charge but doesn't supply any power... so it needs a battery, bath, and decals.



Any thoughts on how I should price this thing?

Build a load tester!

If you buy bulbs new you'll have $70 into it. If it saves you from buying 4 batteries its paid for.

Search "home brew load tester" if you need more info

smartass

I know, I need to. I was hoping to pick up a 12V inverter this summer to use as a load tester. Looks like I should just make one

[taz11]

I just edited my "smartass" with more info. You beat me too it

Now its "smarter assier"

[landon]

Been ages since I've put any of my scores/flips up. So, here are a bunch of random pics of the more notable rides that were briefly in my garage so far this year.













Before and After:






$120 RZR, hells yeah!!


But we had to sell the Silver to make room for the RZR



Not as productive as the last couple years, but definitely some high-value targets!

[MattyGNC]

Nice finds those look almost new. I'd love to get my hands on an rzr

[bruces_eviltwin]

Been a long time since I put any finds on here, getting back into the swing of things but most likely my last year.

Hey man, great to see you around here. I think it's my last year on here as well; the kids are growing up fast and I'm starting to run out of options for bigger BPROs for them to fit in
