Converted the BUS to R/C. Works well.
Purchased from Walmart. VW Bus ride-on 6v. GET YOUR OWN BUS: amzn.to/2Y443RQ
DRIVING vid incase you missed it: • VW BUS Power Wheels RC...
IF you convert to a faster motor you def will need a faster actuator.
Whatever receiver and ESC you choose, just ensure it works on 6v, to avoid needing separate batteries.
RC Controller and Receiver, hk2b, 6v: amzn.to/2Y46MGR

Motor Controller, brushed esc, 6v:

Steering Actuator Firgelli L16r.

100mm / 35:1 / 6v
FROM CANADA. Shipping to usa is only $15. This is the only place i found that has a good steering mechanism without the need for a seperate controller. IF your passenger is HEAVY and/or faster motor might try www.servocity.... .

Just tested 20lb weight. Drives fine. If at a stop steering of course is a bit slow,
I did this the lazy way with a free rc car and free power wheels a few years back, but I got lazy and it was just rc rear wheels and had a long bar to the side so my baby could ride it while I walk next to her
it works good on my star wars landspeeder thanks
that bus came with that 540 ? holy cow.... and you used an rc esc... I'm at 1:43 in the video, hold on a sec. back... Ordered a red one. 6v ? lol I have so much extra rc gear its ridonculous. My dog is gonna love it. thanks for the video
I am not good a RC mechanic but would like try to it as it is amazing! Could you please update how to again with more detail explanation? It is appreciated if you could update parts information as the link is not working.I asked RC shop to support but they hesitat to give me advice so that you are the only person who help me...From Japan...
Did you have this at BBB this weekend? I seen some guy driving a little girl around with a go pro on it. The minute I seen it, I knew I had to do it to my Grand Daughters bus.
No
wow works good did you hook up the lights yet
i am going to install a vw 6 volt horn with relay for channel 3
and going to wire in the stock on off switch to make it easy to turn off without removing the seat
thanks
has not broken yet strong little bus
Did mine and it works great Thanks. Have you gotten the lights to work?
Haven't tried. If they are 6v could hook a wire from hot side of motor to them
@@VintageSpeedwerks I was thinking the same, If figure it out I will keep you posted as well. Thanks
how has the esc held up? I used a hobby king ESC and it overloaded the amperage and it cut out. I kept having to reset it (turn it off and back on). I ended up replacing it with a Super Rooster by Novak and have had no problems. I also used a Hitec 1/4 scale servo for steering. I installed the on off switch above the license plate. My son loves it and he has been the hit of every car show we've been to! Nice video!
wouldnt a faster actuator be better?
How come nobody does it the "cheap-cheap way" by just connecting a rc servo to power the polarity on a larger motor, honestly if you were dedicated enough, you could get all the supplies to make a complete working remote control power wheels free, people always throw away cheap rc cars and power wheels the only other thing you'll need is a slightly larger motor to power steering and then to wire it correctly-oh yeah and you'll need power wheel style batteries-people always throw these away also (if you really want something cool you could use scooter/old laptop batteries) they use 18650 batteries and you could power the servos with two 18650's and power the rear and front motors with a larger stack of 18650's and use scooter motors to power the front and rear movement. (People throw these scooters away too, also they throw away working power steering motors) then the whole system is rechargeable and you only need 2 sets of rechargeable batteries on the car and a 3rd on the controller. But you could also wire in a hookup for the batteries so you don't have to remove anything to charge
I have no idea what your trying to say, but if it's cheap cheap, throw a video up.
Awesome "How To" Is there any programming you have to do with the RC stuff to get it to work? I want to do this for my daugther and ordered the parts. Can you let me know what else needs to be done to get it to work? Thank you very Much!!
hey man is that the l16 35:1 ratio actuator? is it turning the wheels ok with a passenger? this is the setup i have but im using a traxxas esc.
What about using limit switches?
that's no prob, just shipping would be high
SMALL UPDATE-- the power switch on the speed controller failed. cut it off wired a new one. good to go.
hello I got this as a gift for my son but have no idea how to charge please if you know tell me?
How do you take the back wheels off
Shameka Nash the come off when you buy it.
Vintage Speedwerks I put something wrong on the back n can't get the center cap off
What did u use to drill the hole in the arm for the linear actuator
Drill bit
Hey Bro, Do you have an circuit diagram? I would Buy my 23 months old boy a bus. I love it.
Friendly greetings from Germany
connect battery to charger. plug in charger
I need you for one more thing the si e of the of the actuator stroke they are 50mm, 100mm, 140mm Help me
don't know. you'll have to look at the links.
whwn it comea time to connecting the servo and motor to reciever whuch one is 1st
no diagram. just splice it in between motor and bus controller board
hey bro how much would it be if u did it for me ready to go.?
if you would consider doing that let me know
Hey bro I'm doing the same. But I have a problem whit the acuator can you send me the information a bout it . Be cause I can found it I'm been tried for one month. And nothing. I have all for hobby king. But not the acuator. Please help .God bless you.
Victor Aguilar the actuator is what you need? www.actuonix.com/L16-R-Miniature-Linear-Servo-For-RC-p/l16-r.htm
dollar bills......yes a faster one would be better, but this one not needing a motor controller and small enough to bolt in, and the speed this drives at, perfect combo in my opinion. if you put a bigger motor and go 12v, you'll need a faster one, but now your talking $150+ just for steering.
no probs here either
Where did you buy the steeringarm/servo?
in my other videos you can see my passenger. 20lb so far
Any videos with step by step guides?
Nope. Doesn't get more basic unless you need vids of me twisting wires or drilling holes
@@VintageSpeedwerks yeah I’ve never owned any type of RC cars or anything and my wife is making me do this for a work party lol thanks tho man cheers
@vintage speedwerks did he get another motor to connect to the back . Cause mine doesnt have a motor back there
yep. these power wheels are darn near a 540. yep 6v.
no programming. just standard rc stuff
for way more money and no VW Bus
Thx my man but what is the actuator storoke side 500 ,100 or 140 mm
Victor Aguilar it's in the description above
I don't see nothing my man
Tnx
check my how to video, there is even a link in this vid
I haven't to remote
no esc probs here.
I updated the links and put the model names in the description. it really doesn't matter what you buy as long as it's 6v
it is very nice of you. You are so kind . I will try to import ...next problem is I am not good at mechanical issue...
I know it's been awhile... but I wanted to ask you about the steering servo. I got the L16-100-35-6-R L16-R Miniature Linear Servo for RC - 100mm - 35:1 - 6 vdc from Actuonix... which I think is the one you used. I used a flathead screw driver and loosed up the steering mech. (pop rivets with plastic washers, maybe) a little since it was stiff. I also disconnected the steering wheel since it seemed like it was needing more force when connected. What are you thoughts? It seems significantly slower and worse (less good?) at re-centering than yours.
I have a second motor on the way. I'm excited to have a 2WD R/C Bus for my daughter that's due in April. Thanks for all the information in your videos!
