Wanted to say hello to everyone. New to mini quad racing and we got our 5 yr old daughter a DRX2 50. She really enjoys it but wanted some input about getting it tuned in more for MX racing and harescrambles. Any help is appreciated.

My advise....RUN! Don't look back.
Get her a soccer ball and call it good.
Just kidding.

Welcome aboard!

Thanks for all the greetings. Very happy I found a forum that focuses on the mini quads as much as the adult quads. So where would be a good place to start? She handles the quad great during practices then got a little nervous during her first race. Any advice would be great.

Seat time and more seat time. As far as the nerves are concerned that will go away in time as she gets used to how others ride their quads. Heck im a 40 plus beginner racer and I get nervous.

She will catch on quick. Just give plenty of praise and let her get faster on her terms not yours. We as parants tend to get caught up. Just sit back and cheer her on. She will love it no matter how she finishes. It's about the fun.
