honda clone 6.5 crank

#1
My Baja MB200 Mini bike is a nightmare. I've had it for 3-4 months, and I've broken the brake drum, both chain tensioners, handlebars, chain, headlight, footpegs, kickstand spring, and now the crankshaft(?), twice.

The crank/drive shaft snapped off while riding, so I drilled and tapped it and bought replacement parts (the "driven" half of my torque converter flung out and I couldn't recover it).


Long story short, the crank broke off again... even shorter, and once again pieces of the new torque converter injured me, and than rolled away, never to be found again.


What can I do to fix this situation? Should I buy a new crank? Should I buy a new predator motor? Should I give up and never ride a minibike ever again?


I'm not much of a mechanic, but I can follow directions. Should I attempt to replace the crank? Where can I find instructions if this is the best solution?

This is a cry for help, I am extremely frustrated that I have dumped over $1,000 into this minibike, and only put about 10 miles on it so far. I haven't even crashed it, and I don't understand how parts just disintegrates while riding on pavement.

Any suggestions are welcome, and sorry for the frantic rant.

I would get yard kart or something.

I don't know you or what you are doing but it sounds this is not your thing and maybe you are going to get seriously hurt next.
