Make Any Power Wheel Remote Controlled!!

In this video we take a power wheel that was missing the remote control and install a whole new aftermarket system to get a new remote. This will work for any power wheel that is missing the remote and not obtainable. If you have a power wheel that you would like to make controlled by remote, this works too!

How do you install the steering motor. I can't make sense of mounting the steering motor

@Tac.Outdoors 4 ай бұрын

The motor that turns the wheels left or right mine doesn’t have that can I add it

In order to put in a parental control do I have to remove all other wiring?

@joelynnruiz Жыл бұрын

When connecting the wires to the steering motor instead of soldering them you could have just twisted them together and used wire nuts to test the orientation of the wires which would make it easier to just untwist and switch them. Then when you have them correctly oriented you could solder them or use crimp splice connectors and heat shrink.

What if the power wheels your rewiring doesn't have a steering motor, where would you use steering motor wires that came with the harness?

@ronagarage512 2 ай бұрын

If you are using this kit and keeping manual steering, just zip tie the wires out of the way. You won't be able to steer from the controller, just forward and backwards. If you're converting to power steering they make this same kit that will come with a steer motor to install

I just recently did a M18 battery swap on the same model of Jeep but I did not use an inverter I just disconnected the old battery, connected some butt connectors, and hooked it up to the Milwaukee battery.

I'm not sure, I think you'd need to upgrade to a 12 volt battery as 6 volts would be too low to turn on the controller but the 6 volt drive motors should hold 12 volts just fine. The controller is usually the first part to go with higher voltage
