My 4 yo is on a hunger strike until I make his car go faster. This video was super helpful!

I have added a 30V BLDC motor (100W) to it .. kids love it.

This is a very good tutorial. Awesome!

Great video, you've covered a number of details other videos omitted. The existing wiring in my son's Paw Patrol car from CostCo appears to be 18 gauge. I'm concerned going from 1x6V motor & Bat to 2x12V motors and a 12V Bat, that I may burn out some wiring or the circuit board. Have you had any issues with this?

Thanks for this! Was all the wire 12g? Also what size fuse did you use?

Great tips Dad hacks, tooo some notes, ready to go!

So I’m currently taking apart my daughters Elsa Jeep Kid Trax brand. Trying to upgrade from this kit. Got the whole kabootle. Nothing is matching up. The molds on the wheels are different from the gearbox and so on..the spot for the 12v battery is too small compared to the OEM one…do you have a recommendation on where to look to get the right parts?

Hey, I feel confident I can pull this off, thanks for such a great tutorial, however just wanted to ask, so if I upgrade the 12v battery and the 12v motors, will I be able to still charge the car via the same charger that came with the car? My battery is under the seat so it wouldn't be practical to keep removing the seat to keep charging the battery.

So cool. But still no idea where to get the full accessories

Thanks for the video sir very informative, but can you help me a bit, i had 12v jeep and ill change the motor 40,000rpm to run faster with out upgrading the speed controller but the problem is when on its own using remote it run smoothly but when my son rides on it for few meters then suddenly stop but after couple of second run again it is repeatedly happen, do the speed controller cause of this and do i need to upgrade the speed controller too, because i was putting a higher rpm on it please me sir

Was thinking of using a motorcycle batt.would the amperage be to high,and what should be the amperage on batt?

Will this fry the radio or LEDs? I notice ML Toys doesn't mention anything about the radio in their upgrade kits. We have the 1969 Bronco 6v. If it DOES fry the radio, does that interrupt power flow to the motor?

Very cool. Exactly what I was looking for! Thank you sir. Last question: don’t you have to change the “ESC” as well since the older one is a 6v? Won’t it fry?

What about the cars with accessories that tap into 6v power? Do you just leave them unplugged when going to 18+v? I was worried 12v would be bad for them so i unhooked the lights and radio.

Havent opened up my kids car yet, but how will i know if the stock motor/gearbox is 6v or not? Is it labeled? The battery was 6v, is that the determining factor?

I have the rollplay, if I up to 12v will the leds burn out? Also if you doing 2 12v motors you should do 24v battery not 12v.. for 12v do 2 6v.

My kids car has LED. And a entertainment system with speakers. Will this not hurt the electronics there? It is also remotely steered as he is too young to drive. The steering motor will go bananas with fast steering. Dont know how to do this now

Greetings just to clarify. I have a powerwheels knock-off. It is presently 6volts, if I want to upgrade to a 12volt battery i would need to replace the parent control box as well as the motor and battery. Will the lights and radio be ok? Also what about the stock wiring?

Please post the RC conversion one!

This is a grate video I have an older 12V 4X2 power wheels from 1985 now I want to fixit for my grankids but I am having problems with the new 12V batterie the original charger was a flat 4 prong harnest. I hook up the two whites and two bloacks to the new two rire harnest and i keep blowing the fuse but if I hook up the motor to battery it works > Am I doing something wrong with the 4 wires?

granddaughter has a Kid Trax Disney Frozen 4x4 ride on, will this conversion work? or only on power wheels

why is this faster then buying a 12v power wheel? wouldnt buying a 12v be easier? i have a 6v w one gear n motor was thing about going 18v but 12 v seems safer but like idk if its faster then buying a 12v out the box?

how many votl battery to run the kid's car

sorry , i want ask something... how to select the appropriate switch?

Hi bro, my sister's toy car is 6v stock, can i use 12v battery? Wht must i change if i do upgrade to 12v?

Son's McQueen huffy turns off when he revs even with a full charge you think this upgraywill fix it

I swapped the 6v battery for a 18v milwaukee battery and now it runs but than turns off

What charger did you use?

Sir you can not install a new circuit because tha first one is for axample 6v and you install 12 v batter tha circuit is born because tha circuit is 6 v you give currant 12v you change only motors only its posibal you use care with out circuit Reply must sir

I've been in the Power Wheels game for over 20 years and let me go ahead and bring some insight to this because you know what something needs to be cleared up. on the stock wiring if you're running 18 volts you're not going to have a problem because by the time all the power actually gets in the motors you're actually only really providing about 14 volts to the actual Motors after it goes through the stock wiring. you are no way going to bring the motors out. What's actually going to happen is that your gearboxes will be the first thing to go. newer Power Wheels have a soft start feature I know that many of the Peg Perego models have it and just as of recently the Disney princess carriage has the same thing he usually goes out all the time so you need to purchase another one but it saves your gearboxes so that's a good thing. it does provide some lag on start but other than that it's not a big deal 6 volt Motors again it'll be fine with a 12-volt. what actually burns out the motors is too much weight in the vehicle again if you run it like an RC car you'll be just fine it won't be a problem however when your kids start getting kind of plump and the neighborhood kids decide to go ahead and take a ride that's when the motor is burnt out. the other source of motor is burning out is when someone tries to physically push the darn thing while the accelerator pedal is not depressed as it uses motor braking this is actually one of the biggest reasons why the motors give out and again gearboxes as well. I only suggest upgrade the wiring but again if you don't you're just going to have to do it later. your switches and everything else will end up taking the brunt. However I highly recommend that you install a high current relay between the motors and the actual control mechanisms because this will allow your switches to last a lot longer.. don't worry about rebuilding them seriously once they start getting wonky just go ahead and replace them with brand new parts. Save yourself the headache. if you want your new stuff to last longer then fill the darn thing up with some type of electric Dielectric grease and really jamming in there good fill it all the way up and then don't worry about it ever again but if you take them apart good luck putting them back together again. you are much better off during a very tiny pin hole on the side and then injecting the grease inside the mechanism. another thing to note is if you're going from 6 to 12 volts by the time you add your extra lighting and accessories which you're going to be adding because I know you're safe parent and you want your kids to be seen especially an LED whip antenna by the time you run all your accessories on a 6 to 12 volt swap you're going to realize that the motors really aren't going to be working that much harder especially with the led acid battery.. do you have power tools? Especially 12-volt power tools and a lot of batteries and chargers just use that the fast charge function usually works there a lot lighter they usually based on lithium and they usually put out a steady 12 volts whereas your lead acid battery will start to have some significant problems and voltage sag after just a few minutes of use. a cheaper option is just to get a parts power wheel and just use the extra battery extra wires and so forth from that and that way if anything breaks on it then you can swap it. You can also get the other motor from the other side transfer it into the power wheels that you actually want to make faster and Bob's your uncle. if you know how to build lithium ion battery packs then by all means do so make sure you provide the protection that you need but more than likely because most of these packs can be literally bought from Battery Surplus places well that's the way to go I would suggest a 14 Volt back or 5s and you should be fine. unless you have a soft start circuit do not use the rubber bands on the rear Traction tires it is a bad idea. if you know you're going to have neighborhood kids then find a way to disengage the brake portion of it just in case when you're not looking because next thing you know you'll have 13 or 14 year old kids think that it's fun to go ahead and take a ride on your daughter's full toy. Or your nieces what have you. one of the best mods you can do for the small little Power Wheels it's a try to make them all wheel drive it's not really all that hard and it's actually going to make your gearboxes last a lot longer and I do mean a lot longer. if your tires are starting to wear out you can get some black paint and some Liquid Nails mix it together and then make a nice little form on what's left of the traction pads and that will keep the wheels working for a darn long time until it wears down a lot better than replacing the wheels. Make sure the grease the axles. on many of these cheap Power Wheels especially the ones from China they come with a very subpar steering box put a bushing inside of it it'll take care of the Swap and make sure and bring anyone have to really worry about it ever again.
