Razor Crazy Cart XL - 36V Electric Drifting Go Kart - Variable Speed, Up to 14 mph, Drift Bar for Controlled Drifts, Adult-Size Fun

The Crazy Cart XL is a blast! And I got the regular crazy cart for my 11 year old. I’m 6’ tall and almost 200 lbs and this thing pulls me around like I’m a fish stuck to a fishing line. Actually both carts do. And the rear wheels can be upgraded. Look online for Apollo casters and longboard wheels. There is a great Facebook group called crazy cart modders that has all the great tips and tricks. And if you don’t want to do the caster upgrade, just buy skateboard wheels, they last waaaay longer. Remember these carts have no brakes so go slow at first and learn how to drive it and learn how to come to a stop. There are great YouTube videos that show how to drive them. If you are on the fence between this and a regular go cart, ask yourself if you will wish you had that drift bar to pull at your ready. If the answer is yes, then pull the trigger on the crazy cart, you won’t regret it!

The media could not be loaded.  The Crazy Cart XL just oozes fun and excitement. One of the best purchases you can make for an outdoor ride toy. There isn't much else like it. The ability to drift around objects with extreme precision (once you've learned to control it) is just top notch.There are some important considerations before pulling the trigger on the Crazy Cart XL. This is a bit long, but this is an expensive toy, so I figured its good to dive into a bit of detail:Where are you going to use it?This is important! - You need a smooth, large area in order to enjoy this toy. If you don't have an area in mind to use this, its going to be tough to find one. I doubt many public parks or gathering areas are going to appreciate the Crazy Cart XL flying around sidewalks or parking lots. If you're thinking you can use this on your local street - BE WARNED - the rear tires of this machine will get ate up in no time on anything other than SMOOTH surfaces. Burning up the neighborhood with your new sweet ride will seem like no issue at all until you look down and realize your rear tires are all but gone with only bearing remaining (see various product pictures on Amazon). While I wish these tires held up better, you have to realize - this thing is HEAVY. Plus whomever is riding, that's a lot of pressure on small roller skate wheels, they just can't take it. You'll find countless videos on YouTube of riders having a blast in warehouses, skate parks, and private property. This is really the only way to keep the rear tires from wearing down to nothing after a single ride.My ride environment - I have a fairly large concrete driveway in front of our home. This affords enough space to drift around cones, trash cans, other (boring) outdoor toys for great fun. Occasionally, I do ride on the street, but only in straight lines for max speed. The tires don't take much of a hit as long as you're not drifting. I also own a regular Crazy Cart and a Crazy Cart shift for the kiddos. All 3 of us ride on the drive way without issue, but this is a three car driveway that's about 3 car lengths in depth. I think a typically 2 car driveway would work for a single crazy cart, but anything smaller wouldn't be enough space to fully enjoy.Are you afraid of tinkering / basic repair?Rear wheels will require replacing even on smooth environments. After a few weeks of DAILY riding (which we did after first receiving: it's just too much fun!). Not too hard: A couple Allen wrenches and a flat edge to transfer the wheel bearings (unless you've got wheels with bearings pre-installed). The cart comes with a total of 4 wheels, (2 front, 2 rear) but the front wheels aren't actively used all the time, just when the cart tips forward a bit off center of the main center wheel. Thus, when the first set of rear wheels wear, you can swap with the front, but you will need replacements eventually. I opted to upgrade my rear wheels with new casters that support Longboard style wheels, which last MUCH MUCH longer, possibly indefinitely on smooth surfaces, but will still wear eventually on street use. If you plan to ride of the street often, this upgrade will probably be required. But, this was an expensive upgrade. I'm not sure if there are other vendors out there, but I found my upgrade from an online shop (For those interested, search: Taxi Garage).After about 6 month of constant use my cart lost power even though it was charged. After disassembling I discovered that the electrical wiring from the motor to the front wheel had broken due to the wear of turning the wheel back and forth. The two wires are squished in there good and encounter a degree of friction from the constant turning of the wheel. Razor insulated this area with a metal spring, but it still wore through. The fix was simple enough. I cut the wiring where the break was an clamped some connectors on to reattach both ends. No soldering required! If you're comfortable with soldering, then that would have been a completely valid solution as well. Ultimately the wiring was disconnected and needed to be reconnected. If that makes you uncomfortable, just know you'll need someone or some shop to be able to diagnose and repair this kind of fault. This is an expensive toy, but the fix was ~$5 in parts, but inoperable without the fix. It'd be a shame to think the whole thing was a bust after a few months when it took just a bit of DIY-style investigation.The cart itself is pretty simple mechanically. A screwdriver / drill, Allen wrenches and a socket wrench is all you'll need to do pretty much anything to the cart (replace front wheel, chain, motor, etc...).So the durability is poor?NOPE - This thing is a beast. The solid metal frame means business. I've ran this thing hard and I've hit things HARD, the Crazy Cart XL could care less. This thing will wreak your car, shrubbery, landscape, etc.. be careful! I've got dents on the frame from all sorts of adventures, but it continues to run without issue. I'm still using the original motor (and I'm running 48V!), chain and front wheel. I've only replaced the rear wheel casters with something more substantial.48V? The descriptions states 36V. Can you mod it?Oh yeah! 36V was fun for a good while, but I wanted more speed (Video was right after we got it / 36V). Out of the box, the XL maxed out around 13MPH (220LB rider). Discovered a 48V overvolt kit. Added 5 MPH to the max. Heck yeah! So much fun. Essentially plug'n'play. Take a look around on ebay if you're interested as I won't go into more here, but all to say the Crazy Cart line has options if you're interested in modding the original. (Of course this isn't something that will be recommended by Razor, but an option for those interested in making it there own or growing it over time)

...it is *extremely* difficult to find replacement rear wheels for this and they wear out *super* fast. You would think you could just jump on Razor's website, navigate to the Crazy Cart XL and select "buy replacement rear wheels" but it's not that simple. You can't even find the replacement wheels on the Razor website at all, and when you call in you'll talk to a person who makes it sounds like it's no problem to get replacement rear wheels to you, but then they'll charge you for the wrong parts and send those out instead. And when you contact them to get it corrected they'll escalate the issue to someone else that also won't be willing to actually help you (their customer support is very bad, I'm not exaggerating). You'll get the run around and waste A LOT of time dealing with them and in the end you'll STILL not get what you need. I wish I had never purchased this. I had no idea how difficult it would be just to get simple replacement parts.

Bought for my 14 year old son for Christmas and I ignored what others said like an idiot. The ride-on is amazing fun while the tires hold up, but within a few rides we had our first tire issue. One of the small hard rubber tires blew up. Razor actually includes a few extra of these now, so that was no big deal fixing. A week later the main center rubber tire blew out and that was a whole different ballgame. To change that tire you have to disassemble most of the ride-on. It took me a good three hours to do. It may take others much less time, but I am not a mechanic and I really struggled with changing the tire, but once done my son was enjoying the Crazy Cart again. A few rides later and the tube was blown-out, so I am going to have to change the center tire again. While it won't take me three hours again, I dread the task and know it will take at least an hour. I did buy a no-flat tire and tool to help with installation this time, so hopefully I'll have better luck. Just know going in that maintenance costs and time it takes to fix things are really high compared to things like his ride-on hover board and even things like my ride-on lawnmower. It is fun though and he loves it. Just wish that center wheel was easier to change.

Took my new cart to the park for the first day and the front wheel bearing broke with less than 25 mins of use. However, aside from the broken wheel, I totally enjoyed it. I have bought a new set of bearings to repair the old wheel and a new wheel as well. The wheel itself seems strong, but the bearings are not good quality.

Great fun, its a big version of the classic crazy cart, what's not too like. Batteries charge up well and last a decent amount of time too

Happy with the product and happy with the service!

You burn off tires until you learn how to use it right . Tires are cheap worth the fun to change out a tire fun for the hole family

Fantastic quality, bought for a very rough 6yr old and good size for him and rest of the family to use.
