Peg Perego Gaucho A-151 Rare Toyota FJ40 kids ride on

[@renegadedriver5028]

I had this exact one as a kid in the 90s! I remember all those little features! I lost my shit when you pressed the horn!

[@adamm.michael7500]

I just made a 12-hour round trip to pick one of these up. It looks like it is never been ridden. Absolutely mint.❤️

[@L.A.S.Customs]

A151 and super gaucho are some of the best rides. Those first Generation Peg models are phenomenal.

[@CustomKidzCars]

Could not agree more, I would have so loved one of these as a kid.

[@90skid26]

This is awesome 👌 had 1 as a kid but it got stolen, so cool to see again

[@Billtokarski]

Awesome 👍. I have a Goucho Grade in yellow like the one in the background. Well made product. Lots of little features that make much nicer than any power wheels.

[@AliciaWay-j7u]

We had this when we were kids!!!

[@Toi.Ngawari]

I picked up the same Gaucho for $7(aud) yesterday at our local recycling center...I had no Idea what it was and how sought after they are....it only caught my eye because it was a 40 series landcruiser. Ive been to the Tiger imports sight to look at parts however they are not taking orders(im guessing Covid) so im going to pull the harness and build one from scratch....other plans are to convert it to 18v, full respray and replace all lights with Leds.....your video was super informative, thanks so much

[@CustomKidzCars]

Glad it helped. Great find. Only one better is the ultra rare super gaucho

[@jaffaman29]

Hi! I've been given one of these which was none running. I've replaced the batteries and the motors work but seem down on power. I suspect various switches and contacts have corroded. A new wiring harness maybe best. Any chance you could repost the links as they don't seem to work anymore!

[@milehigh8119]

Found your video here after a Google search looking for a replacement battery. Doing spring cleaning and one of the items that is taking up space in the garage is a Peg Perego Gaucho Jeep Wrangler (yellow) that needs to go. Brought back memories of my daughter riding it many years ago. She is all grown with a career and has a real Wrangler now :-) Is there a way to revive the old batteries with a smart charger like CTek? If not, what is the best battery to use as replacement that is not expensive? It is all original and in great condition & has been sitting in the garage for about 20 years.

[@CustomKidzCars]

Just replace with a 12 volt 12ah mighty max battery on Amazon

[@denicebazzani2294]

I have one of the first Peg Perego Jeeps. I want to re-wire the unit as the factory insisted that we cut some of the wires for safe usage. Now I want to re-furbish it for our grandsons. Where do I find someone that can do that?

[@dlsmarmolejos]

I had one of these when i was a kid, goddammmnnn, i learned how to drive in this...!

[@CustomKidzCars]

Lucky dog! All I had was a big wheel...

[@adamm.michael7500]

Mine has a new harness but all the other wires, for the motor and lights are just hanging under the hood. With the original plugs and wires. Do you have a diagram or something to show how they originally were ran?

[@bills1995vette]

I wish you would cover battery options.

CKC Garage: Do the old Gaucho have higher powered motors than the new ones ? as seen both are in your garage. Thanks -

I recently bought one of these which came without the battery. There apears to be an original battery connector under the hood which has 4 wires coming off it - red, black, yellow and blue. I have a 12v battery i wish to install but not sure which battery terminals the 4 wires go to? Wondering if you know the answer. TIA!

[@CustomKidzCars]

Original had 2 6 volt in in series. I would think red and black but would confirm that the yellow blue are the middle jumper wires for the series connection

[@apsert]

OOOPs You answered my question in full towards the end. Thanks

[@CustomKidzCars]

No problem. Yes the first gen has the massive motors with torque and the geared motor is much quieter. So wish they still produced them

[@apsert]

@@CustomKidzCars This is for my grandson so i got to get it right. I am in England and have located a "A151" Toyota model on ebay but ive just realized these are only 2 wheel powered. I have just come across this vid where a guy has modified a Super Gaucho into 4x4. Can i ask would there be a lot of work involved to achieve this? Here is the vid >> Oh and thanks again in advance >> kzbin.info/www/bejne/p2bYiZ2gqNl4ptU

[@CustomKidzCars]

Decent amount of work. Needs gearboxes, rear wheels and drivers, custom longer spindles and cradle to hold the gbs from spinning. Highly recommend larger ah battery because 4 motors really suck the voltage. Basically what we did to this gator. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rZ6QgXptrraAadk

[@timlittle2411]

I have a super gaucho and I would love to pick your brain. I ran 4x12v batts and finally cooked it. She smoked. I like to replace the wiring and the peddle switch, possibly the gear switches too. I can't find ANYTHING in stock online. I'm not sure what replacement will fit, and handle 4x12v batts. I'll add a kelly control if needed 😉 please help make me feel like a proud dad lol and thanks for the videos!!

[@CustomKidzCars]

Kelly controller would be my vote. Completely rewire will be needed. Also a 5 wire pedal like we used on the blue RZR build

[@MrTacticaljellybean]

Can you point me in the direction to find a wiring diagram to convert from the two small 6v batteries to a single 12v battery

The links aren’t working do u know where else we could get the wiring harness shifter and gas pedal at?

[@CustomKidzCars]

Direct from peg perego

[@thewobbleboxers8431]

We have one like that we are trying to restore but we can’t work out how the wiring works to get different speed for 1st and 2nd gear. It just goes in what seems to be 2nd gear. Reverse is pretty fast too!

[@CustomKidzCars]

Sounds like the shifter switch wiring is not correct. Peg should have wiring diagram online. Basically low and reverse are in series and high is parallel so gets full volts to each motor.

[@thewobbleboxers8431]

@@CustomKidzCars thanks for the reply. We have racked our brains for 6 hours over it! All the wires are correctly connected as per the dots. We can’t find a wiring diagram for our one. Typically! We have resigned ourselves to 2nd and high speed reverse!

[@CustomKidzCars]

Hmmm. I would try to rotate one of the plug connectors 180° on the switch

[@thewobbleboxers8431]

@@CustomKidzCars we tried swapping the wires over to work the opposite switches and we thought we would get 2 reverse speeds and one forward. We got 2 forward 1 reverse R forward. There is a 25a fuse before the motors that blows sometimes too. Only one power feed to the motors which is parallel. For series I would have imagined the switches from the gear lever would then make the series connection as a desperate feed to the motors but it doesn’t. All very strange!

[@timcain1734]

Can you answer a question I have on a Peg Perego car

[@javihairmusicadventures]

Awesome awesome video. I have a gaucho grande. Got it 20 years ago. Am researching their value since I want to sell mine. Didn't know the gaucho were so valuable for their quality. Pretty sure its stock. Has two 6 volt batteries. So it has the faulty wiring? I was going to sell it. But now am considering updating it and keeping it. What do you recommend? Replace everything you showed in this video? Maybe go for 24 volts? I also lost the charging cable so can't even test it out. Pretty sure the batteries are completely dead by now though.

[@CustomKidzCars]

They are cool but the value is not over $300-$400 max. I would contact peg perego customer service and obtain an updated wiring harness. This will make it easier to upgrade battery ah as well as voltage compared to the old 6 volt packs.

[@mali_pleonazmic]

Gaucho EU A 120. I need a battery but we can'tfigure out is it 2x6v in series or just plain 12v????

[@jordimonforte4506]

Hello!! The Firts good video. I have the same model. Now I want to pass it on to my son but the battery is dead. I can put a 24v directly on it or I have to do more things to switch it to 24v.

You have to brute force prize the caps off. They're held on with star washers at the back of the cap. Unlikely you will be able to reuse them so make sure you have spares. Bit of a pain unfortunately!
