The Tomahawk looks exactly like the Yamoto, I also did see that Loncin has one that looks identical as well. The bolts/nuts that I have replaced so far and used locktite on have held good, but you have to replace the bolts because the stock ones are so weak that you can barely torque them down or they will break off (I broke one off in the engine block [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img] ) I would highly suggest to anyone before buying one of these look into buying a used Japanese mini. I'm going to give this one to my daughter (she drives really slowly) and find a more durable one for my 10 year old son.

 

Thanks for the info DirtForAShirt, good idea on the bolts and fishing line and driving lights! I'm going to buy a bunch of good quality nuts/bolts and take it all apart next weekend and replace every last one of them. I would like to make it so I can have at least one trip out without having problems with it.

 

Okay here goes Daughter has a Kazuma Panda 90 2stroke which held up pretty good for the first 6months until she ran it through a 2'creek wasting the cylinder up until then ran good always started no problems though as her riding skills developed power was lacking .Talked to Casey at hetricks and orderd the pipe and clutch kit (the term fit's all mini quads with minimal modifications should have made me wonder) After doing my impression of monster garage removing oil tank,rear brake mount and reattaching elsewhere,cutting away one side of the rear subframe and reattaching and moving and bending also the rear attacing point of the pipe that is supposed to mount to the top of the rear subframe won't work on a Kazuma as the engine and rear swingarm are attached kinda like a lt80 so if I mounted to the rear subframe the suspension wouldnt compress and the pipe would probably bend.

 

dvrack, when they swear it'll fit anything and then when you get it and have those kinds of problems.. aarrgghh!!
I know the place I'd like to fit it is straight up the seller's a$$!![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/img]

so are you guys saying the 110 atv on www.atv4less.com website is made by Loncin? those any good?

garbage bolts/steel if you can't even tighten them without breaking. doesn't that make the rest of you concerned about where else they cut corners in the manufacturing, such as quality of steel,poor cast for stuff like engine cases, blocks, cylinders, pistons, etc..?

But who knows if they are just the middle man?

 

Looks like the Kazuma ones are getting some negative feedbacks.

One problem, so far, is deciding who makes what, originally. they allow re-branding so much that it's hard to tell. If you have one, please attach a picture of the beast you review, so maybe we can see some identifying marks/designs/looks and correlate them.

 

I tried loncin's web-site but couldn't find any atvs on it. they did offer to sing me the company song though!
www.atv4less.com has the 110. sorry, it doesn't work when I try to use the link function on this site, but if you go to this site, it's easy to see their units.

 

Express Power Sports has that Maxfine 100 for $999 including shipping! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]

I thought I got a steal! Wow!

 

www.atv4less.com gets me a "coming soon!" page.

 

I bought the QJ Prowler 100cc for my 7 & 8 year old daughters to share. I paid $1150 from a local dealer.

This features a 97.6cc (Bore: 52.0mm Stroke: 46.0mm) two stroke engine with automatic oil injection and electric fan cooling. From the limited information I have found on this engine it appears to be a Yamaha clone (or some advertisers say 'genuine'). The closest thing I have found is the Yamaha 100cc kt100 go kart engine. As with most of the other Chinese quads the engine, frame, etc.. on this one cross over to many other brands. I was surprised to see that the chassis and engine on this thing look an awful lot like a predator 90 which makes it a lot like some of the other two stroke 90's coming from China.

Pros:
This quad has not given me any serious (see cons) mechanical problems yet (after about 10 trips out with it). The engine fires right up every time with the electric starter and on the first or second kick with the backup kick start. The engine provides plenty of power for the kids (who really don't push it... yet) and enough to move my 5'8" 165lb body around at a reasonable pace. The automatic transmission makes it easy for my daughters to ride and the headlight is bright enough to get the job done.

Cons:
It is missing one bolt/nut that mounts one of the rear fenders to the foot rest, I am not sure how long this has been missing or if it ever had it. After the issues my brother (khen) had with his 110cc I looked over the quad to make sure nothing was coming loose and to this point no other problems have been spotted. The steering on this thing gets pretty twitchy above 15 mph and the front suspension is... well as with most current Chinese quads not much of a suspension at all.

Conclusion:
I am happy with this quad and found that to this point it has served its purpose well. I have not really pushed this thing, in fact it has never left the ground (no 10 foot drops for me), so it would be hard to say how much abuse it would take. Once my kids get a little more confident with their riding skills I may start to see problems and if so, I will do a follow up review.
