My 6 year old son says he needs more speed. I've searched some websites and still not sure what upgrades will benefit his needs and keep my wallet from melting down. Any tips to get his sled up to say 15 mph would be great.

well u can start with the basic paper clip and a zip tie.
after that it all cost money.
best bang for the buck is to put a brigs animal in it.
yeah it will cost u a few bucks but your old motor will sell for $100 to 125.
and U would have to spend thousands to come close to the power of a animal.
and if the kid wants to race there is a class for the animal /lo20 and less cheating going on because of the hologram cable sealed case .
the best mod for the buck is spent in the junk rear skid link to mod

I have done this to a few of my buds kids 120 and it is funny to watch a mod skid run next to non mod skid polo stick

with a brigs lo20 the 120 will do 35 all day.
the cheapest option is to buy one already done
I may know of 1 in MN a poo but I see you are IL not worth it.
deff guys out there who spent the time and money and now the kids are already on to the skidoo 300 freestyle class

I just put the heavy duty governor spring from rec. motors on kids' 120 Polaris the other day. Not sure what speed it's running at, but it made quite a difference. Well worth the $10...

I really like that shock kit. Glad I didnt buy the shock-it version. Think I'm going to get all those parts and it will be a stocking stuffer for christmas.

it is a nice set up did the first one a few yrs back only takes 2 hrs and a few beers.
kid was getting bucked off at the races a lot before mod after very rare.
the stock skid is not to bad a 7mph but once u get them going 15 to 40 they are just plane junk.
