I have a gator that the back wheels spin without getting traction. We replaced the wheel thinking that was what is needed. THe back wheels still spin with the new tires on without getting traction on grass. Is there something else that needs to be replaced?

    thats what the problem is, when only one motor is working they don't move at all, so now we need to determine why the other motor isn't spinning. Do you own a multimeter? if not you can pick one up at a local hardware store for about $10, we'll need to check and see if voltage is getting back to the other motor

SOURCE: Rear wheels-

Both wheels should spin in 2nd gear. Only one wheel may spin in 1st, but if you put a little pressure on the one wheel that spins it should make the other wheel start spinning.
But both wheels should spin in high gear at the same time.
Hope this helps. If there is more help you can also ask these guys at this website. http://www.shopjandl.com/ I get my parts from them and they seem to also work on them as well

SOURCE: wheel spinning / traction issue on toy gator

First off, keep in mind that there are reasons why they make the wheels of this slipper plastic - like reducing the risk of burning out the motor. That said, you know those rubber pedal extenders for infants (the things that come with 2 wooden blocks and a large rubber band, they 'may' be big enough to stretch around your wheels. Also have a look around for LEGO rubber tracks. There are some out there that may be large enough as well. Check here.

SOURCE: gator lt wheel doesn't turn when in grass/ slips easily and need

You could try new wheels if those are worn. Otherwise, Google "Gator Traction Bands"- an aftermarket company that makes bands just for these wheels.

If you need the tires, we can help.

We replaced the rear wheels on the Gator and now it doesn't seem to have any traction or go as fast as before.

Take a tape measure and check if the back wheels are same diameter. They may have given you two different size wheels so one is too small. Some machines have bigger back wheels than front - so if they sent a front wheel and a back wheel (instead of two back wheels) one may be too small. If machine has any kind of suspension measure how long each side is to see if one side is stuck in the up position.

How does TCS on 2005 elantra work, What do I need to know?

Traction control Systems use the vehicles' brake, computer and engine systems to reduce wheel spin or slide. If the computer, through wheel speed sensors, "notices" that one wheel is rotating faster that the rest it can apply the brakes or reduce engine torque to get the wheel speed back in order.
This system is automatic and works without driver input. Just drive your vehicle as normal and the TCS will do what's necessary to prevent wheel spin, skidding, etc.

What is traction control sistem

TRACTION CONTROL: An enhancement of an existing ABS system that prevents wheel spin while accelerating on wet or slick surfaces. It uses the same wheel speed sensors to monitor wheel speed during acceleration, but requires some additional control solenoids and a pump to apply braking pressure to control wheel spin. The traction control system brakes the drive wheel that's starting to spin to shift torque to the opposite drive wheel that still has traction. Most traction control systems only operate at speeds up to about 30 mph. Additional control strategies that some traction control systems use to limit wheel spin include reducing the throttle opening, upshifting the transmission, retarding spark timing and deactivating fuel injectors.

Hope helps.

Gator lt wheel doesn't turn when in grass/ slips easily and need

only one wheel is driven in slow !
fast engages the other motor [2 wheels drive]
the wheels being plastic or poly wont grip & on the early gators as there is no speed controler in the system to prevent wheel spin!
only other way would be to add rubbr cleets to the wheels! or try changing to wheel barrow or scooter style pump up wheels
if you need more help just email me as i can help with modifaction process like more powerfull motor setup etc etc.
