I thought as much. His wire route is very poor but it does the same job but is definitely not right.

How'd the up grade on your sons utv work out? I got the 12v utv for my daughter. It came with 2, 12v 7ah batteries but wired as a 12v battery. The utv is super slow i really want to wire these batteries in series . I was just worried I ight blow the esc or motors. Any luck with getting your sons to run 24 volt?

Organic Oceans hey. I got a friend of mine to upgrade it to 24 volt. My son love it! You should definitely try it.

You need to have a 24 volt motor to go with the battery. If the motor is 12 volt then it will burn out with a 24 volt battery after awhile.

@bibliata even if he just has 2 separate 12 volt batteries the motor will still burn out if he is running both batteries on a motor that is only 12 volt. So I don't know how he did it.

@bibliata ok because I have a power wheels that I got for free because someone cut the battery wires and it is missing the battery but I believe it does have a 12v motor in it. I was going to strip the ends of the wires inside of the power wheels that are cut and use alligator clips to connect to the stripped ends and the other end clip to a 12v battery terminal and see if it works. I could probably use two 12v batteries and do what he did in this video, but I am afraid that a 12v motor will burn out if I use two 12v= 24v battery.

The kids had a blast on it.

How did he like it

bro i did that just yesterday with a belt and its so much fun

My Dad stuck a car battery in a Barbie corvette back in the 90s for my nephew! It was crazy fast.. I think it was 6 volt to start with

Put a helmet on him it will be too fast

Thank you, I appreciate that.

Jose Jimenez makes it sound like even a guy like me can do it

Haha, thanks Ron, yea the kids appreciate it sometimes.

Jeff Furr any solution for the blown 30amp fuse?

Get a circuit breaker instead that resets automatically.

Old bike tires.

Just buy some rubber air up dolly wheels they cost about $12 each

What ever nerd

Speed/velocity doesn't equal HP though. This is why some vehicles have a MPH limit on their speedometer even when compared to other vehicles of the same HP and engine type and size and all else being equal.

I did 5280/85= 62.1176470588 x seconds to course completion. Then from there I had time to complete a mile. I divided 60 by this outcome to get mph

1) So you're saying 2 12v 9.5ah batteries(matching the stock battery), 2) Can you clarify if the fuse goes here: www.reddit.com/r/electronics/comments/eybcwj/in_progress_powerwheels_upgrade/ 3)I am planning on adding a significant counterweight to the front so we have more traction and prevent wheelies but would that matter for a person who is 175 pounds?

@@sriramneravati5048 1) Yes and No it depends on how they are wired together. 2)12v/9,5ah batteries wired in parallel will increase the ah (amp hour) to 19ah wich means the battery will just last longer for more riding time. Or, 2)12v/9,5ah wired in series increases the volts to 24v/9,5ah which means the more volts the faster it goes. 2)If wired in Parallel you technically dont need a fuse. Just wire the batteries positive to positive and the negative to negative. For PowerWheels white wire is power (+) and the black wire is ground(-) so you'd connect the white motor whire to the positive side of one of the batteries and the black motor wire to the negative side of the second battery. If wired in series, you will need to add a 30amp inline fuse connecting the positive of one battery to the negative of the second battery. Then connect the white motor wire to the available positive terminal and the black motor wire to the available negative terminal of second battery. 3)Its ok to add some weight to the front for better grip but keep in mind they are mostly plastic so over time the front wheel hubs will lean inward. However, It is better to add some other means of grip to front tires for more traction rather than adding more weight. For example the rubber from a bicycle tire inner tube or even swaping out the front tires with actual rubber tires works best. Most powerwheels wont tip nor do wheelies unless your an adult sitting on the very back of the machine. The 24v conversion will just spin the rear tires untill it picks up momentum. The rear plastic tires just wont grip enough to pop wheelies before you strip out the plastic gears inside the gearbox. Thats why I stated in my original post its best to not add grip to rear tires. Besides its way more fun to have the rear tires spin because then you can do donuts, drift corners and even do figure 8 pattern burnouts. They are a blast for kids to drive once modified!!! Hope all that helps. Enjoy!

@@yourlips_myassah the diagram I drew was of batteries in series though.

@@sriramneravati5048 yah thats how to wire for 24v conversion

@@yourlips_myassah Thanks for the reply, also yes I am a 6'1" adult planning on making one of these. I found a website where I can get 36V batteries, Metal gearboxes for the car. I live on a very hilly campus and my friend and I are trying to ride up and down the hills. We are planning on putting a little bit rubber on the front wheels and maybe even the back because we will have metal gearboxes.

Heaven& Earth thank you, I appreciate that. Thank you for watching

ADIL ALTAF thank you and thanks for watching

If you do the way that keeps it at 12 volts, will that help give any extra power too? Or no none just last longer? I am like this guy, and my 6 yr old and 4 yr old ride together and have growed since battery died in theirs. Iv been watching g does for months trying to decide what to do that can give them more power, that won't strip it out!

@@leahrodriquez1349 No, more volts (pressure) allows more current (amps) which gives more power (watts). Power equation: Power (W) = Volts x Amps. example: 12 volts x 9 amps = 108 watts. In a series circuit, voltage adds up, in a parallel circuit, voltage stays the same. In order for more current to flow, you need more voltage. example 2: 24v x 9 a = 216 watts. Watts is a measurement of work accomplished in the means of heat or mechanical movement. In parallel circuit, amperage adds up instead of voltage. I hope this helped.

@@Crusader143d a very easy way to do what was done in this video with few or no issues is to simply replace the 12 v motor with a 24 v and then connect the two 12 v batteries the way he showed. Otherwise if you leave the 12 v motor then it will eventually burn out if you are trying to use 24 v battery in tandem.

Ashmeed Mohammed yes the kids love going fast

Carlos Guevara how did it go??

Thank you so much, I appreciate that

Mz Herbin thank you and thanks for watching

Lol, thank you

True, I does seem that way. The front compartment was a perfect fit for a second battery

Thanks Mike

Jeff Furr how long did the motor last?

Justin Wright sorry for the delay on this message, the motors are still running strong, only issue was the right side motor stripped a gear due to all three of my youngest kids riding at the same time. To much power from take off with too much weight.

22

The Furrminator did you replace the gears? If so where did you get them?

I used to be in the coffee roasting business. The manufacturer of our roaster didn't have grommets where wires went through the sheet metal frame. After a couple of years, the wire insulation wore down which caused a short to the frame that blew out the controller board. Not a cheap fix and they claimed no responsibility. I told them the same thing - always use grommets!

First thing I thought and I'm 27! Lol awesome dad right here.

lol!

Right 🤣😂

Wanna try 36 volts for being 36?

Adopt me 2

Yah 24 will destroy those motors

Jason Williams that's a great idea, I need to find some rubber tread for these tires.

Amazon, or ml toys.....use a brake reduction module, its put in line by brake pedal. No hard stopping, this is what kills your 1st gear teeth. Big improvement on gears!

It really depends on how much current/ampere your particular car/motors pull. I've personally never blown one at 18 volts with the fuse that came with them. You might want to try taking off the inline fuse, put some load on the car, drive it around with a multi-meter on it, and see what the current draw is. Otherwise you might need to find out the motor used and consult the spec sheets.

View Accounts yes, you should get a lot more running time

They have a website you can order metal gear boxes exact replica of the plastic ones

Tony Montana thanks for telling me that
