You may want to look into the Pitster Pro 150cc mini sport buggy!They are made by the same company as the rzr and are way better priced. $3595 In Spruce grove or EdmontonThey have same warranty as. Polarice as wellCheers

iam kind of leary of the china stuff going to stay with the brand names i have looked at the pister at grassland trailer sales i just dont know about them

I hear you there. I was Leary of it too but they literally are made in the same factory! I don't think any of the big four mfg's actually build they're mini quads,sleds or side x sides. ( I'm sure there's probably an exception)Kinda like a few years back when Suzuki and Kawasaki were selling the exact quad but each with different decals I took one for a little burn just before Christmas but didn't buy it because my 7yr old is very small so I'm waiting until summer to give him a chance to grow a little more lol

I have seen seen alot of grief with the rzr 170. they will not go through ANY amount of water without wetting out the ignition, the front wheels and spindles LOVE to fall off these things and they are WAY under powered to climb even the slightest incline. You couldn't give me one. And yes stay away from the china market all together. Unfortunately there isn't must of an alternative.

I have seen the 170's front tires so balled up with mud the backs would just spin because it couldn't move. Ground clearance is low, rear axle is solid and a ground scrapper. Steering is jerking as in rip it out of your hands if you hit a bump.

PM Drford on the site, he has one for his kids, not sure if he still does though because it was a POS.

I have two that both engines went out on before the updated air boxes were sent out!!Conviently after my warranty expired!Polaris screwed me for 2000$ a piece for new engines but with the letter they sent with the new air boxes they recommended that the machines not be used in muddy or dusty conditions!!!I'll never buy another polaris product!!My ass was still sore from owning a 08 800 dragon that had issues when I bought these things!!Only good thing is my kids like them other wise there might have been a couple of electrical fires!!
