I added big bore shocks (bent the stockers), a wheelie bar and new front cross member and bumper due to some 10' jumps. I mostly chase the dog around the yard with it

Thats awsome Peacemaker, thanks for all the info. Looks like something I would end up spending a boatload of money on
Especially with all the mods you can do. I would spend plenty of cash trying to make it bulletproof, I would beat that thing

That video is a couple of years old from when it was still being developed and maybe sold as a kit. After some searching I found they are now available. 126.00 on ebay with everything included. 79.00 at Toys R Us but you have to buy the battery and charger seperately. I might have to get one and see how fast I can break it.
