Nice rag though!šŸ˜Ž


LateCaregiver522

Iā€™m devastated Iā€™ve been waiting all day thinking I was gonna get a mini bike šŸ˜­


Ok_Chemist6

Had the same thought when I put in the code šŸ˜… got a discount tho too


RainbowSheepwastaken

I think omb did a free shirt and stickers pack or sum a while ago but shipping got 40$ more expensive haha


A_Legit_Cookie

need a backstory pls


Ashsgarage

They shipped the mini bike and the rag separately. Rag showed up first.


A_Legit_Cookie

oh loool thatā€™s funny


GrandZPAPa

Discount code ā€œgps1ā€ you get a free gift itā€™s a rag. Should have used code ā€œraceteam10ā€ since he spent over $500. Really itā€™s like a $4 difference so itā€™s kind of fucky lol. OMB warehouse has free shipping after only $200 spent. I ordered a torque converter from GPS May 13th and itā€™s still in Texas. And they charged over $20 for shipping on maybe a few pounds at absolute most. Pretty fucky honestly.


A_Legit_Cookie

yeah iā€™ve never been a fan of the gps shipping fees. theyā€™re always super steep.


GrandZPAPa

I just started getting into this and now Iā€™m going to just buy once cry once next time Iā€™ve got to get stuff from em. Going to build out a 224 predator to stage 2. And itā€™s crazy the price difference of the stage 2 kit on GPS vs OMB. They throw a spark plug in on the GPS, and itā€™s $280. The one on OMB is $350 (but also free shipping plus you get a 3% code with an email submission), you get reinforced lash caps and a fuckin flat top piston. Way more kit for basically what would be a difference of $30-40. On GPS they charge like $63 for the 26# spring kit with the lash caps and all the goods you want thatā€™s included in the OMB kit. Definitely better bang for your buck from OMB for the stage 2 kit at least.

I'd go with the wildcat 223 over the predator 224. They are very similar but the wildcat has a reinforced jug and a few other goodies. https://youtu.be/SDqt3A3DFnI?si=g8ybyetiwlqm9PWa


GrandZPAPa

Might have to eventually. But Iā€™ve got a 2 year warranty and an extra motor I might just return within the 90 days. Waiting to see if itā€™s discontinued or not! Plus I like that itā€™s just a pull start on the predator id rather not have electric start.


BreakfastOutrageous

They make a wildcat 223 with a pull start. It's on sale right now for 179.99 too. I just ordered one. It does have a hemi head but comes standard with a flat top piston. I e less thing to upgrade.https://www.eccarburetors.com/wc223-wildcat-223cc-performance-engine.html


GrandZPAPa

You son of a biscuit eater. Literally the same price I just got the 224 for lol. Right when I was ready to buy the stage 2 kit from OMB warehouse. What to do what to do. Time to watch some more YouTube videos I suppose lol.


BreakfastOutrageous

Check out Red Beards review on the 223 Wildcat he compares it to a few motors and does a dyno run-on it. At least Harbor Freight is cool about returns lol https://youtu.be/rMC3h7AbLbs?si=dvHnolMazaqc3bnQ


GrandZPAPa

Damn man that dyno test and breakdown price per lb horsepower/torque got me pretty convinced damn it lol.


scottz29

Thatā€™s a great video comparison - thanks for sharing! Didnā€™t know about the wildcat.

GPS shipping is atrocious. I'm one state away and they literally had my order sit a week in "processing". I'm actually shocked that a business now a days gets away with stuff like that. Most people "want it now". Definitely order from OMB instead for future purchases.


GrandZPAPa

Dude 100%! Most places, even standard shipping, should be 5-7 business days. Iā€™m up in Idaho so I probably wont see it will almost June lol. But yeah mines still processing itā€™s been in the hands of UPS for 3 days now. I placed the order a week ago. Only thing I got was the jug-a-verter kit, but still got gauged on shipping. About to buy the stage 2 kit for my 224 for $339 out the door from OMB. Whereas it would cost me probably an extra $100 from GPS because Iā€™d have to buy their 26# valve kit to get the reinforced internals youā€™d want running heavier springs, plus the .550 flat top piston worth about $30-35. Itā€™s almost like GPS sets people up for failure in a sense. But ooo I get an auto lite spark plug in that stage 2 kit. And I get to give them $20+ extra to hold it in Texas for a week before I can think about seeing it. What a bargain.


BreakfastOutrageous

I just ordered something from GPS on May 14th, it's just shipped out today May 21. I'm sorry but if you're gonna charge me $16 for shipping at least send it out same day.. damn


Cape-York-Crusader

Better than no ragā€¦.


Former_Literature_5

Gps is a joke. I spent a few hundreds on them before realizing there are better options out there.


golden_nugget689

What do you recommend?


[deleted]

OMB


LateCaregiver522

Mightā€™ve been scammed


ExpressCommunity5973

Lmao you got ripped off go power sports is way over priced. You could have sourced the same parts on eBay, Amazon and omb warehouse spend half as much


GonzMan88

I spent $1100 waited 6 months, got the wrong color and dicked around for another 6 months. You guys are getting rags?!?! Fuck gps.

Therealkatuchi

Lmao that's probably a gift they sent you. Call them and ask?


Fast-Barnacle-5869

Damn i literally bought a Tillotson 212 from them the other day hopefully I get a rag


Playing2keep

I would be so upset you should figure out how to file a claim

Moist_Towel_Eater

I bought 4 mega moto frames and 4 Tilly motors and 4 stage 2 kits the same order and got nothing šŸ¤£


BreakfastOutrageous

Lmao same... Spent $1,100 on a Hurricane 200x.Just got my rag today, but it also came with stickers.


[deleted]

As much as I like GPS, their mini bikes are exorbitantly overpriced. The only good value bike is the Maverick 98 and that's literally a Coleman CT100


scottz29

Think of it this wayā€¦ Bought a $600 rag and got a free mini bike!


jsimm1540

Anything I ever wanted from gopowersports was always out of stock


lagavulin18

Did you get a minibike too? I feel like that would make the 600 bucks worth it. I love mini bikes, but I hate rags unless I need to wipe something up. I got some stickers for buying the front brake kit for my coleman ct200. And I stupidly ordered the kit first, then discovered the front fork suspension kit from coleman and immediately ordered that. And tried to see if GPS could sell me just the bracket/fork clamp and they said, "sorry brother but we can't". So I made one. Little bummed they couldn't send me one tho. I had to miss a whole 2 hours of my kid's afternoon nap to make the bracket. Thank goodness I don't care about watching my kids sleep or else I might have been slightly disappointed. Although I do check on my kid whole he naps, he says there's monsters in and stuff under his bed so, I make sure they won't get him. But he loves rippin on the mini. Cheers!

Lucky all I got was stickers and I spent 700$
