Convert your Power Wheels Vehicle to Milwaukee Tool Red Lithium Battery Power!
Tired of your kid's Power Wheels battery crapping out after 20 minutes? Tired of charging that 10 pound brick overnight, only to have it die again halfway down the block the next day?
I was too, so I removed the stock battery, and installed a pair of Milwaukee 18 volt Red Lithium batteries in its place.
** UPDATE 1/2020 **
SAVE YOUR BATTERIES FROM OVER-DISCHARGE!
Please see Part II of this build, for RUN-TIME TEST RESULTS and BATTERY OVER DISCHARGE PROTECTION installation!

I used to do similar things for my son. He had a power wheels jeep with a lift and metal frame. It was stock. I did a straight wire conversion (no speed controller) I studded the tires with 5/15 screws for traction. He stepped on it the first time on a paved drive and pulled a little wheelie. Looked at me and said "I'm telling mom"! So this little sign he made really made me laugh. Thumbs up!

It reminds me of my youngest daughters first snowmobile. I had to tape a shim under the throttle so she couldnt go full speed. It has a two stroke single cylinder engine that really wasn't that fast but when I noticed she was flying through a wooded part of a trail and the brake lights never went on, I knew sooner or later she would end up ramming into a tree. I also knew her mother would kill me if something didnt change. So I made a simple throttle limiter. She always was my fearless one.

@@lgzz4885 the heated bed is a nice feature for multiple types of filament. The issue is, and it looks like the part he used is PLA, is that PLA doesn't need a heated bed for printing. For me, higher temps on the print bed causes parts to lift. I usually keep the bed off if I'm printing PLA. My pet peeve is when people on Facebook recommend higher bed temps with this issue rather than going cooler. Definitely get a printer with a large following. Highly recommend the Ender 3.

I had a customer come to my shop and asked me to cast some metal gears for a power wheels project. We made some from aluminum and he absolutely loved them. Ended up breaking them so we remade them out of 316 stainless and he came back about 2 months later going on and on about how they worked so perfectly. His son now wins every power wheel race they have in the neighborhood. Of course we had to solve the low traction tires issue. Nothing a lawn mower tire cut to a sleeve and secured to the plastic couldn't fix. Then had to add a wheelie bar and some front end weights. Lesson to take away from my story, if it has a motor and wheels, it can be modified.

I enjoyed watching the increase-hack-power process. Well equipped with all the right tools and good ideas to result in a clean end product. Even if there's ideas to improve upon motors, or the batteries, this is a decent McGyver solution working with what you got. It's got my like for ingenuity.

Time travel to the fifties and sixties with this toy and all the neighbourhood kids would literately fight to go for a ride. We didn't even have frizbies or skate boards. Throwing rocks was our go to happy place, now sixty years later I can still hit the head of a nail from a hundred feet. lol

Had a buddy tell me his childhood power wheel was fitted with a car battery. He said the plastic wheels wore through from doing burnouts

Okay but that's just the battery, the motor would still have to be upgraded to get any real power.

Diesel Douche The stock motors are pretty powerful. My kid had a Bigfoot Power Wheel truck and it would spin both tires in high speed, and would reverse immediately when the reverse button was pushed, giving some serious ability to spin out while cornering at speed.

We cut the tread off some old ATV tires and glued to the powerwheels it gave great traction but the kids liked the drift mode .
