Re: Help! I need some advice.
well the vari isnt in production just yet for the spree. the gears will give you a couple mph but it is best to get the bbk with it. and there is nothing to it. there is plenty of info on here on how to do it and get the manual and it will tell you how to tear down and rebuild. its really simple to do.

well, with my 13 year old budget ($200-250) if i was to do the BBK what else should i do then because i will be waiting for the vari to come out before i start IF it is in my plan.

Re: Help! I need some advice.
the vari is going to be a while so i think i would go with the bbk and taz now(or will real soon) has "raceing"gears so watch for those and get them.

Re: Help! I need some advice.
With your $250 budget I would just swap out the motor for a variated one like an Elite or Aero.

If you can turn a wrench and follow instructions you can do it. *, my daughter works on hers and shes 13 too.
