If you want to get first place at the science fair, or just looking for a fun hobby, learning how to convert a regular power wheels car to a RC car will do it.
I have a full step by step video on how to wire the car (and the tools and materials that you will need) Link: • Turbo Power Wheels | M...
and also a full video that focuses on the linear actuator (the tool that does the steering) and the Electric Speed Controller (ESC); Link: • Operating a Linear Act...
For a heavy-duty actuator use this link: www.progressiveautomations.co...
Link for the linear actuator from Actuonix: www.actuonix.com/P16-P-Linear... and

Love it! I'm going to do this mod for my son's Star Wars land speeder! Great work!

Can’t wait for that linear actuator video! 🙌🏼💯

Just found your channel - love it. Want to do the same thing to my large size power wheels

It’s a fun project, though the hardest part is the steering setup!

Would you recommend the same actuator you have on your Audi or something faster for a bigger power wheels ( that’s what I got )

@b1cates Жыл бұрын

ingenious 👍... most actuonix actuators tend to be rated 20% duty cycle. What duty cycle would you recommend for this project?

@user-wz7go6cr1r Жыл бұрын

I have my power wheels hooked up and I gotta go on forward and backwards but then when I hook up the actuator it goes to one side and then I just seen in your video where I may have to adjust those little blue knobs on the actuator is that correct

Great video, thanks for the inspiration! Quick question, which ESC are you using for the power wheels motors?

@DadHacks Жыл бұрын

I think it was a Hobbywing RC Brushed ESC

@DadHacks Could you post a video covering how you set up the remote control portion of the build? Pumping mine up to 24 volts was a breeze but I am new to RC and need a little shove in the right direction for the drive train. What Transmitter and receiver did you use? What speed controller do you have hooked up to the motors that can handle 24V?

Take a look at this video. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/e7VdY6iSktOUcnk.htmlsi=3Cppol4DjqgAuyaT I only went up to 12 volts. For 24 volts, look from a “Brushed 6s ESC”. 6s is just the battery specs which is around 25 volts.

Is the actuator hard to mount, or get in place? only thing im not sure on

@DadHacks Жыл бұрын

It’s not too difficult, just as long as you have the right drill bit

@user-vy4ko7ms3p Ай бұрын

Would you know if this eac can handle higher voltage than 12V ? I am planning on using 18V battery pack to run my 775 size brushed motors and was wondering if this set up is even for me? Please advise . Any help would be greatly appreciated !

@DadHacks Ай бұрын

Probably not. Look for an ESC that can handle 24 volts, sometimes the specs say it can handle a “6s battery”. You’ll also want one that can handle 50 amps

@@DadHacks gotcha. that gets more complicated. I was just thinking of running the esc based on a separate battery cell like the other vid you have and sticking with a higher Voltage battery to get more performance out of the 18V motors. But I am not sure if the Chinese esc units are designed to work with a 2.4ghz receiver ?
