Im all for buying namebrand. but I couldnt find one locally. went to a place called metrix in aurora IL. 1 hour away. found a redcat 50 brand new paid 600 cash. it looked very well built. big ? . how are they? I looked in this forum and found mixed reactions. its mine Cant take it back. so any pros or cons, opinions would be appreciated.

 

well I did alright from my kids face. I was awoke this morn by my son screaming (my new vrom vrom). you have to rember hes 2.5 years old. after opening presents were done off to the gas station for gas. filled it with gas and 10 seconds it was purring. let it idle for 1/2 hour( per sales guy) drained oil , refilled andready to go. got the kids helmet on and it in first gear. set the throttle to slow seep and he was off. he rode it about 45 minutes and was gitting cold so we came inside. he ran to me gave me a big hug and said. thank you and I love you. so it was to say the best quad I ever bought.
enough reminising. the quad was very very quiet. ran great. never even burped. only problem was to turn the fuel on or off I couldent get my fingers in there so I had to trim plastic. lots easier.
thanks for listening to the rambling of a proud daddy.

 

Those priceless smiles make it all worthwhile. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Merry Christmas

well day two.
started right up and is a little cold blooded. lots of choke. after warm ran great. still my son with a big smile. so far so good

 

Sounds like your son is having fun with his new quad that's great. I bought a MPX 150 RedCat for my wife and she loves it.For a chinese quad it's built well and runs good.I also found that you can get parts pretty easy if needed. Have fun with the new toy.

 

hows does that redcat 150 run? I was looking to buy one for my wife also. will it pull the front tires with a tug?

 

The Redcat MPX 150 is great for my wife.It's a strong atv and yes it will pull the front tires. The only dislike is i wish it had a wider wheel base. But thats my opinon. For the money and being able to get parts for it's a great atv.

 

I just bought two Kazuma 110 Falcons for my sons from Metrix. I have had nothing but a good experience with them as well and with Vince. I had a loose casing on the ignition switch after I got it home and he gave me a new one, no questions asked. Other than that, I have not had one single issue. I did run 10/40 Honda oil through them and changed out the plug for an NGK. The only other thing I have spent any real time on is adjusting the idle on the carb and a little bit on the air/fuel mixture, but once set they have run like a champ.
