Yeah, it seems like all of the Arizona kids quads dealers turned bad over the past year. They keep changing brands of quads, so you never know when or if they will service them. I'm going for a big 4 on my next kids upgrade.

if you are buying a chinese boxed, drop ship quad, you should expect to have problems. These "pot metal monsters" are not built to be a track machine.

I would be interested to see what one looks like. Also if it is advertised that they are race ready then why would the dealer say the warranty is void because it was raced? It just dont make sense.

Hey Ron,

OMG, Sorry to hear that, that really sucks.
I know you got lots of time into and you've been looking forward to getting on the track.
How is the 70 holding up so far ???????? Or are they not riding it much yet....

So I take it you won't be a Dealer for them huh !!!!

Maybe you could find a way to put a reliable power plant in it.
How was the rest holding up, the a-arms, etc........

Gotta run, but I'll talk to ya this weekend............
