Trailmaster Cheetah 8 Off Road UTV / Go Kart / Mid Size Youth ages 10 and up/ coil over shocks, Disk Brakes, throttle limiter

Great fun!!

My boys are 6-7 and they love it. Can enjoy it for many more years to come. Was a great experience from start to finish.

Fun after some repairs and modifications

This is my first kart to buy and put together. It took about 4.5 hours from start of assembly to first ignition and running so setup is fairly simple even w/o instructions. No oil for the engine or gear box was provided as it came pre-filled (even though a tag said oil is required). Only had one stripped on the right rear fender that had to be tapped. The Cheetah 8 will do 25mph w/o any modifications which I was ok with....but this one had a belt that prevented the gear box from switching to forward after going reverse. Took a bit to figure out as it's my first CVT, but once I replaced with the provided spare belt and slight idle adjustment, the gear box switched between forward and reverse w/o issue. Now the negative: I had plans to eventually remove the internal governor, but when doing some minor adjustments for efficiency, I heard a rattle w/in the engine while running at idle. I decided to say screw the warranty and took the engine apart to find pieces of the internal governor had separated and was free w/in the engine. NOT COOL! Now the positive: After removing the internal governor and confirming no physical damage due to loose parts in the engine...this kart will do 32mph. Overall it's a fun kart and what I was looking for. If it wasn't for the loose parts inside the engine, I would have rated it 5 stars.

My Cheetah 8

My cheetah 8 arrived in great shape. A little more to the assembly than I thought there would be, so follow the instructions. All the parts were there, and take the time needed to check it out completely. Very well built and we are enjoying it very much. Thank you Motobuys.
