This a forum for the real, adult sized Gators.
I've helped several friends and family get used electric toy ones running. In most cases they just needed a battery and it's easy to hack them to use other battiers. Occasionally they might need a new connector or switch. As for what to look for... FREE! The ones my friends and family have gotten were all dfree for the taking. If it doesn't run it's destined for the curb so many people are just happy to find a home for it other than the garbage. So, if I have to go pick it up I wouldn't pay anything. Keep in mind it's just a plastic toy that doesn't work.
