Try as I might, I just can't figure out how to adjust the chain on the meerkat 50. Thanks in advance for any help!

On my son's meerkat there is a bolt on top of the rear axle just below the lower shock bolt that needs to be loosened. Then there are two bolts slightly forward and under the rear axle that need to be loosened also. Then under the rear axle there are two nuts on adjusting bolts, just tighten the nuts equally and then tighten everything up . Hope this helps

We made a 20' x13' mud pit in our yard, but I think more mud was in the yard than in the pit. I have pictures posted on my page.

I did not waterproof anything yet, the only trouble that we had was when he crossed the river. It ran alittle ruff for a few minutes, but was ok after that. I need to put Vasiline in all the connectors so they don't corroid.
