I recently won a Tanksport scout 400 4x4 from a St. Jude raffle. I have never heard of this brand before, ans was wondering if anybody can give me a heads up on this machine.

s.e. la.

 

ive never heard of it, Have you ridden it yet? Since you won it I wouldn't be too concerned about breaking anything. Look around on the internet for parts for it, just to see if it will be hard to replace something. I found a few sites that have this atv.

Hope I was of help.

 

Chinese company with offices in California. Tanksport bought out Redcat a while back. The scout 400 retails for $4,500.

thanks for the reply. i am going pick it up today. the closest dealer is about 50 miles away, so that MAY not be so bad.
what the hell, it only cost me $40.00 worth of tickets.

Heck, not a bad price no matter what it is. Have fun, but make sure all the nuts and bolts are tight.

Ride safe, the irony of winning a quad from a hospital, just to wind up at a hospital isn't something you'll want to do. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

Stick it on Craigslist as a brand new, unused quad. Get $1,500 - $1,200 real quick, maybe more. Once you use it (even a little) then it's just another used quad and will be harder to sell.

I agree, unless you like working on ATV's sell it new! I have 4 Chinese atv's and I can asure you will be working on it all the time! I'll bet you can get upwards of $2000. for it though!

 

fellas, i appreciate the comments. i picked it up yesterday, and it sure looks like a four wheeler. i have been wanting one for a while, but other priorites. i will be using it to haul deer out the woods and play at the camp. and i don't mind tinkering with it if neccessary.
gonna give it a try. if it does,'t work out, well i'm out $40.
if i sell it, i will surely have to put wood floors in my living room.

p.s. i hate my avator.

 

I'm wondering how your getting away with the the $40. There going to report it for taxes. Your going to pay 30% of retail to the feds and what ever state tax sucks from you. If you sell it for $2000 you make break even. Your $40 wheeler is going to cost you a bundle.

 

Taxes wouldn't be more then 350 bucks.The most you would have in it is 400.00.
I would keep it.For all your wanting to do will do you fine.
