Got any better pics of the kid buggy motor transfercase setup and how did you get it to steer ?

I built a buggy for my boy it had all the same stuff yours has. What did you use for powersteering? Toyota mr2 electric pump?

I looked into the electric hydraulic pump, but couldn't find much good info on it. It seems to draw a lot of amps and keeping a battery charged I figured would be a problem. I am still looking into some sort of power steering.

PROTECT your sons back and neck!!!!!!!! get rid of those crappy seats and get him something safe and gentle and supportive. That's the only thing I see other than #1 DAD ;D :driving:

I don't plan on him rock bouncing with it, just some mild riding to get him used to driving and his next one is done. Until then he will wear a helmet, his harnesses, and I will have thick padded covers built for the seats.

might be kindof pricey, but what about a powersteering unit thats on a rzr?

Toyota MR2 pumps are around $800 new.

jeep46 · Sep 30, 2013

I looked into the Rzr steering, but for 1K I didn't think it was worth the investment if it didn't work, also looked it to the MR2 pump, wasn't sure if we could keep a battery charged enough to keep it running,it uses a pretty good amount of amps to be running a alt with a 4 wheeler motor, but I have not ruled it out, still doing research on it.

Luckily I got some of the parts on the cheap, probably got around 1500 to 2000 in it.
