Hi. My name is Kenny and I’m from Harper’s Ferry, WV. I bought a Massimo 125
Mini for my nephew from a tractor supply store. Got a great deal on it as it had a broken cable the manager didn’t know what it was. The discounted price was so great I purchased it and will fix whatever the issue is. That is how Ingot to this forum because I’ve never had a go cart before so don’t know much about them. I can fix about anything and since this is for my little nephew it will be a great pleasure to fix. Anyway, just wanted to introduce myself and let you know why I’m here!

The hanging cable could be for the parking brake or gas pedal. Only 2 cables on mine. The black one is automatic transmission, my blue one is a 3 speed semi automatic.

What did you pay for yours, Kenbeck?

I'm sure that's fun to knock around in but gosh it is not good looking. Just my opinion.

Ducking🦆 "Massimo 125 Mini" turns up this:

...which is one of the "Army Jeep" buggies we are used to seeing but this one is better than those other "nameless Chinesium jeeps" as this one looks more "polished" and resembles a Toyota FJ40.

Massimo shows this as an "adult toy" and honestly it is judging by the seat size and the adult models they use. I like the concept but I ain't paying $3000 for that. I am flabbergasted at modern day inflation and that I paid half that for a working and mostly original 1967 CJ5..... which is still a delightfully small size and can go on many trails that would stop a bloated 4-door Jeep Wrangler Unlimited "station wagon"... but I digress

Anyway, NEAT SCORE! Show us photos of yours or I will have to conclude 'pics or it didn't happen' :cheers2:

No, but I have now. What a ride (the "Jeep" and the journey)! Watched the whole video. Did you intentionally make it resemble a CJ-3B?

Now that's what I call a hijack ... as he continues the hijack ....:2guns:

That is what my blue one is 3 speed 125cc. The black one however is 150cc and automatic with a top speed of 39mph.

I fear that it is not a cable that is broken but the wiring harness going to the engine. But it’s all speculation until you get eyes on it.
