That would really help… this video doesn’t show anything useful other than the semi decent wiring diagram… there are multiple ports on some components, but in the diagram it’s just going to the components… doesn’t explain which port the wires should go into
I attached an updated version of the wiring/image diagram in The description of the video. Does that help? I will be back in town later tonight. Maybe I can make a quick short on it and Link it from this video. Otherwise it will be tomorrow
@@overvolted it did not help. Just neeed a video of you terminating each wire and showing what the wires you’re terminating are going to/what they’re doing
Hello, I followed the video/diagram but I must have missed something. I have it wired up the way the diagram says but I can’t quite figure out the neutral wire. If I wire it one way, as soon as the turn the car on it gets full power to the wheels and the pedal doesn’t control it. If I switch the neutral wires, then the wheels dont spin when I turn power on but the car loses all power and restarts when I press the pedal?
Added same setup to a hotwheels, worked great for aprox 5 min.. I believe the small relay burnt out, i feel like i saw you post about adding an automotive relay in another vid but cant find… any advice would be great! Ty
I previously used some larger relays with big old heatsinks that were way Overkill (or so I thought). They were great actually but they took up a lot of space so I condensed them into a smaller unit. But if you got the space they're definitely good DC to DC options. I think the link is still on my original video. Let me double check.
That's the one I originally used but then replaced with smaller units. It supports 25 amps and has a massive heatsink so I think it should be good. However, there's good and bad parts of anything. So since I didn't use it long-term, I can't speak for the quality over the years.
Ended up picking up a motor controller with reverse and forward. There’s a switch on it for that however I haven’t tried it yet but will my remote work if not, is there something I can do in the wiring to make it work? Thank you for answering all my questions.
I got the new motor controller on. I have reverse now and forward I had to wire it into the switch for the factory harness But the only thing on my remote works steering
The remote doesn't go forward? I'm trying to think of a simple way to get reverse working from the controller. It just reversed the polarity coming out of the factory controller so I guess if you had another relay with a normally open and normally closed side then you could basically operate the physically forward and reverse switch with the relay.
But if you aren't going forward either you might want to check to see if you're getting voltage out of the stock controller when pressed. Also sometimes those controllers are funny there is a s button or something in the middle that you have to press before it will engage one of the functions
Hello! You really wouldn't need it unless you had some more finicky 12-volt accessories that you want to run. Otherwise you can just go straight with the Milwaukee kit
I don't see why not. Every car is going to be a little bit different but that one looks like it has a lot of sensitive electronics so I would probably go the same route that I did here to keep those on the lower voltage. I would definitely watch the updated video of the wiring I released last week because I upgraded to some different components that made things work a little bit better.
You can choose what you want to have on the 12v circuit. I kept my remote and MP3 player and lights and stuff on the 12v and just put the motors on the higher voltage...so the motors are the only things at risk in that set-up.
With the version I did in the video all the functions of the remote worked besides reverse. I've since done a swap to a controller that supports reverse for that reason.
@overvolted have you got a new video on that? Seems like a lot run around for a higher voltage. Should just need a 20v battery and a swap for the motor control that's capable of 20v and has the remote control functions
Depending on your vehicle most of them just invert the polarity of the current going to the motor. If that is how your reverse setup works, it would not trigger the relay. BUT you could switch out your motor controller to one that supports an external reverse switch for less than 20 and wire it in to the in vehicle forward/reverse switch. I just put a link to it in the description.
No. You can just set the low voltage cutoff to stop pulling power once the battery voltage drops below a threshold. It doesn't lower the voltage itself
@@bigworm1978 oh that's true. I guess I forgot to add that to the diagram. Technically not necessary as long as you don't run the battery down. Some batteries have on board low voltage cutoffs as well. But if you're using a cheap knockoff or generic probably doesn't. It's definitely good to be safe and have one
Yeah that's basically what this setup would do. I would check the newer wiring update video that I did on this one since I did end up simplifying some of the wiring and replacing some of the components
The speed controller is variable so you don't actually have to run it at full chooch. But that being said, technically overvolting anything is going to add some heat and potentially reduce the lifespan. Go too high and you can definitely hurt the motors. In this case, the 18 volts going between two motors keeps everything in check even when I have the controller cranked all the way up.
So, if your car does not have a remote control, but DOES have lights, the on/off switch and hi speed/low speed shifter like your jeep, do you still need to do the dual 12v/18v setup like youve done here? Or can you get away with just wiring in the "WUMZIJ " kit you linked here?
You'll probably bypass that high and low and use the knob on the speed controller for higher speed. I think if I didn't have the remote and mp3 and things then I'd just wire it in. The lights are really the only question on if they would run on the 18 volt directly. You could always step down to 12 just for those if you wanted. Buuuut if you don't mind some trial and error then you can give it a shot directly wiring it in
PLEASE please please make an update video on wiring and showing each wire getting terminated or where each wire comes from and goes to. My sons car has been tore apart for over a month because I bought these products and tried to follow these steps without success. I’m begging you please
I hear ya! apologies! life gets...busy. I have swapped some of the components on this Build since i originally published this video. (same concept, upgraded controller to support reverse from car and dual relay combo for space savings. ) Let me make sure all of those are linked for you. THIS WEEKEND FOR SURE i can have a short out for you with the terminations and wiring recap!!! This is the first weekend I'll actually be home for the last month+.
Of course couldn’t show the most important step which is actually wiring in the actual components into the controls module and everything else. Just showed a picture and can barely see where your wires go exactly. Helpful but not really helpful video
Oh dang! Sometimes if the voltage cut off isn't set right you can lower the voltage so much that the stock charger won't charge the batteries. You can generally recover the batteries from there by connecting The positives and negatives together from a working battery to one that has low voltage. Normally just for 10 minutes or so and the charger will recognize it again and charge it back to normal capacity.

Is there any video that walks you through how to wire this kit not just show what you did after it was installed?
I guess i should make one. i have the wiring diagram in the description if it helps.

Sorry about that. I did this for a friend and I am getting it back here next week so that I can do an overview
Literally he couldn’t show actually wiring. Just shows the end result without being able to see where his wires even go exactly
@@Tjohnson171002 hope the wiring diagram linked helps. Also, I'm going to make a follow up with the details since it's so highly requested. Thanks!
You ever make another video with instructions?
Yep! I updated the description of this video and there is a link to it. Or you can't find it on my channel.
How long you think before you do a more in depth video? Still have one tore apart not knowing exactly which wires go where to exactly.

@@overvolted it did not help. Just neeed a video of you terminating each wire and showing what the wires you’re terminating are going to/what they’re doing
where did you wire in the low voltage cut off
Right after the battery. So it's the 2nd thing in the chain
did 10a step down converter end up being enough amperage because the fuse going to the reciver is 30amp
@@bigworm1978 plenty for this situation since most of the amperage was used for the motors.

So you bought the kit, the converter, and the relay? What did you set the low voltage to and what did you set the high voltage to?
14 ish
The red and black wires for the control board come out of where?
Did the wiring diagram in the description help?
no

I attached an updated version of that wiring diagram or image in the description. Does that help?
Is there a kit for a 24v power wheel? What do I need to do differently to get that running?
Bigger motors and a different control board for the RC/radio functions
you listed a voltage step down. is that still needed with the $35 milwaukee kit
Hello! You really wouldn't need it unless you had some more finicky 12-volt accessories that you want to run. Otherwise you can just go straight with the Milwaukee kit
WILL THIS WORK ON THE HUFFY FORD RAPTOR
I don't see why not. Every car is going to be a little bit different but that one looks like it has a lot of sensitive electronics so I would probably go the same route that I did here to keep those on the lower voltage. I would definitely watch the updated video of the wiring I released last week because I upgraded to some different components that made things work a little bit better.
If i use your set up will i destroy my 12v circut board for my electronics like, reverse, forward and light system?
You can choose what you want to have on the 12v circuit. I kept my remote and MP3 player and lights and stuff on the 12v and just put the motors on the higher voltage...so the motors are the only things at risk in that set-up.
Will the remote control still work?.??!
With the version I did in the video all the functions of the remote worked besides reverse. I've since done a swap to a controller that supports reverse for that reason.
@@overvoltedwhich controller did you swapped to?
@overvolted have you got a new video on that?
Seems like a lot run around for a higher voltage. Should just need a 20v battery and a swap for the motor control that's capable of 20v and has the remote control functions
@@overvolted Did the reverse work with the remote?
so 5amp buck connector is enough? the one listed it no longer available
It was enough for this particular application since it wasn't handling the motors specifically
Will this set up work with two 18v batteries?
In parallel for extended range... I don't see why not!
Finally got it done, but I lost reversed. There’s no reverse now. Is that normal?
Depending on your vehicle most of them just invert the polarity of the current going to the motor. If that is how your reverse setup works, it would not trigger the relay. BUT you could switch out your motor controller to one that supports an external reverse switch for less than 20 and wire it in to the in vehicle forward/reverse switch.

I guess what I’m saying is does the battery protector lower the voltage as well to 12 V
No. You can just set the low voltage cutoff to stop pulling power once the battery voltage drops below a threshold. It doesn't lower the voltage itself
@@overvolted so I need the low voltage cut off as well. I didn’t see it in the diagram that I paused.
@@bigworm1978 oh that's true. I guess I forgot to add that to the diagram. Technically not necessary as long as you don't run the battery down. Some batteries have on board low voltage cutoffs as well. But if you're using a cheap knockoff or generic probably doesn't. It's definitely good to be safe and have one
@@overvolted What I am trying to ask does the low voltage cut off take the volts down to 12 V to run the factory accessories?
does low voltage cut off work in this routing
Yes since it's reading directly from the battery.
So if u don’t want it to go faster just use first link ? That’s a 18v to 12v but will it still
Protect
My battery from
Low voltage ?
You would probably want to put a low voltage cutoff in line right after the battery adapter and before the voltage step down box.
Would I be able to just put the relay in so the car runs typically on the 12volt but the motors will run off the 18v
Yeah that's basically what this setup would do. I would check the newer wiring update video that I did on this one since I did end up simplifying some of the wiring and replacing some of the components
This doesn’t hurt the motors for the wheels right? Running on 18 volt?

Could be if you could find a 24v board for that type
Hey.. did you get a Onewheel yet? Was watching your knock off Onewheel vid.
No not yet..but summer is coming! Hopefully I can find a good deal on one.
You deserve way more success, great video and I'll be sure to share it.
Thank you very much!! Glad you enjoyed it!
Sure would love to see how you actually wire this together.
I included the wiring diagram in the description
Maybe I should do another one showing it more in depth. Thanks!
So I looked and wasn't able to find the wiring diagram in the description. And yes I would agree a video of how you wired it up would be great.
Ya I guess I have a bad memory. I will add the diagram today
I've added it to the description now

Prolly should add that customers need to also purchase a relay that DOES NOT come with the conversion kit
What is the relay used for?
thats true! my bad.
that kid was trying to turn it up. Why you holding back on him?
Can control your kid with a remote😂
Gotta control those children!
The video is nice but it’s useless, unless you can show us how you wired it together.
