I just want to say that this modification is legendary. What a great way to go full pneumatic while using factory parts. I am planning on doing this when I make my son's F-150 Power Wheels into 4WD!

Just wanted to say thanks for this video. You are the ONLY person that was nice enough to give all the information on this. I just did this on my son's f150 raptor and I can confirm it's almost exactly the same. The only difference is on the raptor it only has 3 screws holding the wheels together instead of 6 however the outer rim has provisions for all 6 still in the casting so you just have to drill the inner rim to run the extra 3 screws and then the rest is the same.

Cool, had a similar idea and was looking for tire sizes, thanks for doing the leg work!

You are a legend mandou made my day! Thanks no more getting stuck and noise wheels!👌🏻

Thank you so much!! I just did the modification following the tutorial and it worked perfectly! It is now that I noticed how noisy the original plastic tires were!!!

Brilliant! I am following your footsteps!

You sir deserve a beer! Fantastic idea.

Just did this to my son’s hurricane. Thanks so much for posting!

Thank you much...looking to do the same for my daughters along with the 24v upgrade. Think I'll enjoy more than them

Thanks for sharing ... I have jeep hurricane that I am turning into remote control. I will do this next

Gotta do this! Great video thanks!

Great video, I am going to try and do something similar to my kids Preg Perego RZR 900

Amazing video!!! is the best idea. I like how you explain. hope you can make more videos

Super cool mod. I think I’m going to do this to my son’s power wheel.

Cool idea. Thanks for sharing.

no problem glad it worked! show some video!

Great idea, thanks

Great Idea I’m gonna do this

yes it is addictive. I have three kids and another on the way. but I have built 2 custom trailers. we have 2 jeep wrangles. 1 hurricane. 1 extreme machine dune buggy. 1 Ford monster truck (old style). 1 24volt Polaris ATV with working suspension. and I have had like 6 other ones that I either parted out or sold.

This is such an awesome idea..we just got our kids a Jeep similar to yours,for Christmas..I'm looking to modify it..we got it used..it is excellent shape..but I want to make it a better ride..I also am.plannig to do the 24v upgrade as well

Doing it following your directions! My rims have only 3 screws, not 6 like yours. Hope they hold lol Update: they didn't. Had to nut/bolt them though the 6 spokes.

how did you grind down the plastic? did you use a sander? plastic knife?

I know this is an old thread, but I am doing this for my son. I got 16*6.50-8 tires with the same inner tubes. Did anyone use 16*6.50-8 inner tubes? or did everyone use the 4.80-8 like in the video? If I used 16*6.50-8 instead will that cause a major issue?

Can you give me the exact size of the longer screws you used for the wheels (I know you said 2.5" long), and where you sourced them? Thanks in advance!

Would this work on a wrangler?

Hi, finally decided to upgrade the tires on my child’s hurricane, after I modified and mounted all of the wheels I noticed the keep is considerably slower than the plastic wheels, this is even with running a 18v battery. Are you running a larger power source, like a 24v? Thanks!

Great

How about a nut&bolt + cpl washers to hold those 2 sides of the rim?

Anymore update on this awesome ride? Just picked up a hurricane for my 3 and 1 year old looking to do the tire swap with the Premium 16x6.50-8 4Ply Directional X-Trac Snow Tire!

Hi Art, I am about to start my rubber tire mod and was wondering if you had any issues with your mod or if you would have done anything different? I am going to go with the Sno Hog tires and the same tubes

Where did you purchase the tires and whats the brand? Thanks for your reply in advance

Hi Art, I've already did the 24v conversion on my 4 yrs old son's jeep hurricane. I've installed an ecm along with a variable speed pedal (slight modifications to where the old pedal was), headlights and taillights along with a red under dash led lights. After burning up the motor's, I purchased some peg perego 24v motors and installed it by making some modifications to motors without affecting either the housing or motor. It seems to be working perfectly but it's missing something. So I am now getting ready to do a tire swap similar to what you did, just wanted to know if you could share the exact tire size you used. Thank you,

this is a very good idea. thanks for posting it. I am going to try it once I have some money. how did the gearboxes take it having the rubber tires? how was the steering as well?

Hi, thanks for this awesome idea. Do you have the link fot the tires? Doing my son's jeep hurricane mods.

I picked up ESC at xingcan store on aliexpress for $10 they also have all the goodies to make remote control.

Did you use the narrower tube size for a specific reason?

Ok this is from 3 years ago. I'm totally going to do this to our hurricane. How did the motors hold up to the extra weight

Do you know is i can do this to a ford f150

anyone have a source for these tires, they are now 35/each on amazon best I can see.

Is it slower

Fucking genius bud!!!

Damm, new dune racer rims only use 3 screws

Hi I just got that same pink sheep that you have at the end of the video for my daughter the tires are completely busted before I run out and go order the plastic tires and do the rubber Traction Tire around the plastic one I thought I could just save some money by just getting her some rubber tires and actually having them inflated install them on the car it's cheaper to as of now to buy four new tires for her would be around 60 bucks those are the stock tires or I found some used 8 and 1/2 inch about the same size golf tires that have the rims on them and inner tubes already inside them is there a way that you could recommend me to install them using the same Metal rims would that put too much pressure on the axle or should I switch out the metal rims with the plastic rims

whats the cost break down?

If you're gonna record vertical, make a vertical video. How frustrating...

Would have watched the video but can't stand watching a sliver of a screen, grow up.
