Vitacci Terminator 300cc 4x4 atv

I had to remove the reverse back-up alarm,I don't need to let this end of the county know I'm backing up.

$4325 delivered to my house on a big box truck with lift gate.I don't think you could do any better or cheaper for a quality 4WD atv.I was planning on getting the CFMoto 500.$7500 dollar price tag but it did come with EPS(electronic power steering) plus a front diff locker.I don't know if power steering and a lockable front diff are worth $3175 more dollars.

Another thing,battery hold down strap needs square buckle like ends on it,not "S" hooks like it has.Might have to buy another just to get the ends off it.Same square post on top & bottom of the battery box.
It come with a good 20 amp battery. YTX20-BS

It has a back rest for a passenger to lean their back on,don't know if I'm going to put that on there.

I've only rode on 2 other name brand four wheelers,my 2 buddies with one having a Honda 300 four trax & my other buddy and his Yamaha big bear 400,both being just 2 wheel drive.This thing rides like a Cadillac compared to those two,might be the weight where the Terminator is so much heavier.

Brakes still not grabbing like it wish they would,manual says you have to wear the brake pads in or get the glaze off them or something.
Another thing,you almost need a thin walled socket for the lug nuts.On the back wheels, an actual lug nut but on the front you have a flanged nut and you have to have a socket that can go into the recess on the rim where the studs are.

I ordered 2 battery straps off Amazon for $9 free/shipping.Probably cheap Chinese rubber,bought mainly for the ends.

Also order a green aluminum gas cap vent,so much easier than dealing with a long vent hose.

There's a top cover that goes on the top of the battery also,don't have it on there yet.I wish it was more of an enclosed battery box being mud and water will get to the battery specially right there in the back left wheel well.

Only trouble I'm having with it right now is screws vibrating loose.I've lost one of the big mushroom head army green panel body screws plus a M6 30mm button head screw.Getting ready to remedy that,I've ordered a 100 pack of M6-1.0 lock nuts,plus an assortment of M6 button head black oxide cap screws.I'm also going back with EPDM washers for the body panel screws.A washer with neoprene rubber on one side.

It's a beast compared to the Bull 200,finding a lot of places I go thru the trees with the Bull I can't go with the Terminator.Just to wide,getting ready to break out the chain saw I reckon.

If you get this thing stuck,your definitely going to have to use the winch,I can pick up the back end a little but not the front end,too heavy.Thing is that weight helps traction,I don't think I have spun a tire.Still haven't rode it enough to see about the gas mileage.I only run non-alcohol in everything except my riding mower but I do use non-alcohol in it on the last yard mowing of the year,that way it sits all winter with non-alcohol gas in it or what little if any is left in there.

One of my pet peeve's with this atv is the braking system.The hand brake on the left side of the handlebar is the main braking system,the right foot brake only controls the right rear wheel.The foot brake will not stop the atv,it's barely able to hold it.The european model is different,right foot control is the main braking system while the hand brake is for the left rear wheel.Image is the European model.On the American model,foot lever only controls right rear wheel.

I think on the european models they only have the one left rear brake to where the US model has 2 rear disc brakes but only the right one is controlled by the foot pedal.
