Have you ever looked at a broken plastic toy and seen the potential for a heavy-duty, gas-powered workhorse? For most, a discarded ride-on car is just trash, but for Leandro from Motorizando, it's the perfect aerodynamic shell for a sleeper utility vehicle.
To give this miniature rig some serious pulling power, he drops in a legendary 212cc industrial engine, upgrading the drivetrain with a continuous variable transmission, hydraulic disc brakes, and a custom-fabricated articulating trailer. Every step of the build is a masterclass in tight mechanical packaging and DIY engineering.
What emerges from the workshop is no longer a slow children's plaything, but a fully functional, 7-horsepower mini-tractor ready to haul heavy loads and tackle real yard work. Enjoy the build!
