I wish I could see what power and negative supply wire you are connecting to the motor input. Mine will only work forward but disconnects when it’s backwards.

So far so good! He's still let's me drive him around in it and hasn't started driving it on his own yet. We'll definitely have to watch out for that though
Great video, thanks for posting! If I wanted to use 2 batteries in parallel, would I connect both hots together on p+ and both negatives on - or am I thinking wrong? Very possible ha!
My stock battery has a power coming from the accessories then a ground and it also has a read wire going streight across the battery i trying to convert to a drill bettery i bought everything i need just trying to figure out what the wire going streightacross the batter is if i can just toss it with the battery
@@ronagarage512 Good to know. I just modified mine. Drilled a hole in the back and ran the wires through that way. So to change the battery its dead center on the back. Thanks for sharing!
@rawgarden_1300 love seeing this type of content tho im not guna lie i get to hyped up on things to put on this little thing im thinkin of replacing the stock motors so it doesnt stress out these 12v motors
Right on, ill take a look, I have another video where I upgraded the motor controller and motors to 24 volt. The new motors have some more rpm and brought the top speed up. Pretty simple to do
I tried this and when I turn up the voltage the radio goes out. I also can not get it to go. There is power but nothing happens when petal is pushed. Any suggestions? Thanks from a frustrated mom!
Hi , any idea why voltage might go down whilst driving after a upgrade ? I have exactly same jeep and i can see on the dash that voltage drops right down to 10-7 volts whilst driving it , ive tried to disconnect voltage regulator, so obviously controller wasn’t working only if press on the pedal. Connecting back the regulator everything works except voltage drops whilst driving even on highest setting ? Any idea whats wrong ? Thanks
I found the exact same truck in garbage and was thinking of doing the same thing But I don't have the remote control Will this work without the remote?
Yes but pick up this kit from Amazon a.co/d/bHYnPoZ And check out my other video, you'll want to upgrade to a 24volt controller. This kit will come with a remote
So don't these ones only run on slow mode with the remote and only go into fast mode when the kid presses the peddle? How fast was it with the kid hitting the peddle? I'm about to buy one of these for my 18 month old and he's a little dare devil who loves speed!
The child can choose a high low speed but the remotes have a 3 speed setting, when the remote is used it over rides the setting selected on the power wheel, so your boy could flip it to high speed but if you have it on the lowest setting on the remote it will stay on the lowest setting
Hey so I swapped out the original battery to a 20v Dewalt battery. Works great except of when the battery is fully changed the remote control stops working. Have you had this issue? Or any?
I had the same issue! Check out this video I posted, I had to upgrade to a 24v controller. The old one couldn't handle that many volts and also caught fire! ua-cam.com/video/GprmRNBSSoo/v-deo.html
I did, if you take a look at my other video I upgraded the remote and motor controller as well. The old one couldn't handle 18 volts and it started acting funky before I melted the circuit board
So I did a battery swap on the same Jeep using the same battery just a different step-down converter. Did you delete the ground wire that come out of the charging port?
Okay and I see in your comments that you said you had an issue with the controller. So I did too accept mine didn't burn up It just won't turn right everything else works. When you upgraded the controller did you have to get a new circuit board or control panel for inside the Jeep as well
Everything is still working after upgrading the 12 volt controller to 24 volt, check out my other video on that. The 5amp hour batteries last forever, well run this thing around the neighborhood for about 2 hours or so and only use 1/4 to 1/2 battery
I had the voltage turned down and it melted within a day. I then upgraded to the 24volt controller and it has been fine since. Going on a few years now with no issues

I did have some issues with a motor dropping out temporarily, I've switched back and forth between stock and the high rpm ones a few times. Off the battery there is a circuit breaker that can be removed if your motors stop for a few and then work later.
@ronagarage512 thanks. Did it last or did you have to upgrade? I see now you attached a 24v motor. Did the 12 burn up? Does the 18v battery supply enough power for the 24v motor
I did upgrade to the 24volt drive motors but have since swapped back to 12 volt both motors work fine with 18 volts. I had an issue with one of the 24 volt motors intermittently working and put the 12 volt motors back in while i sent the 24s back and waiting on replacement
I have a Mercedes Unimog 12v 4wheel drive and want to convert it into 2x18v Milwaukee Lithuim-ion batteries. Does your upgrae also work on a 4wheel drive poer wheel? Can i use the 9.0ah battery instead of the 6.0 to get a longer play time?
So are you wiring the 2x18 volt batteries in series to make it 36 volt? If your planning on making it 18 volt all the components I used would work, the 24 volt controller I installed has 2 spots to plug in multiple drive motors so it would work for a 4wd unit. And yes a 9.0 battery would give it a longer run time than the 6.0. If your going to make it 36 volt, then you would probably need a 48v controller. Check out my other video on the power wheel to see what else I upgraded
Not sure how long of a walk you're planning on but I've ran my son around for about 4-5 hours on less than half a charge on a 5.0ah battery. Being 4wd may use a little more but I think you'd be surprised at the life of a 9.0ah battery. Make sure you upgrade that controller though
Its been holding up great! Ive run this thing for multiple hours non stop on a 5.0 battery, it easily goes around the neighborhood multiple times on about 1 bar from the battery. The only other thing I had to do was upgrade the controller to a 24 volt, which you can see in my other video
I've switched back and forth between the stock motors and aftermarket ones, the aftermarket ones would intermittently cut out, not sure if its because they are 24volt or just cheaply made. I will probably stick with the stock motors going forward. Only other thing I think I would/will do is wire in something to step down the voltage to the steer motor, its kind of snappy at 18 volts with the remote. If my son steers its not bad, thats the only reason I'm holding off
I have another video on my chanel about this. Mine did the same thing and circuit board melted. The other video shows how to upgrade it to 24 volts and has link for board
I took a few cans of flex seal spray and rubberized the tires on my daughter's so it grips better instead of burning out all over the place.
I think it’s hilarious that you’re like, he’s 18 months, time to give it some juice. Haha *18v battery swap* I did the same to my kid’s power wheels
He's gotta learn sooner than later haha
Bro my daughter is 4 and rips on stock battery way thinking about converting as well
awsome i cant wait im doing this to my daughter buggy its exactly what you got so cool man thanks
ohh what brand is that converter your using
a.co/d/hEmlSOo
Here's a link to the one I used on amazon
I just did mine it works great but like shorts out sometimes
super cool! boys gonna need some more tire to handle all that torque now!!!!
Figure ill let him learn to drive this, then upgrade to gocarts lol
I wish I could see what power and negative supply wire you are connecting to the motor input. Mine will only work forward but disconnects when it’s backwards.
This video was really helpful thanks so much
Glad I could help!
If you’d like more grip on wheels get a can of flex seal and coat the treads of the wheels
That's a good idea I'll have to give that a try
I hooked a 12v battery to a 6v car and smoked the radio,& phone charger right away!
Yeah these things are sensitive to higher voltage hahaha. It's easy enough to upgrade the controller though

That is a very convenient idea the only thing is the battery is exposed so you'll have to ensure he doesn't drive in water puddles
So far so good! He's still let's me drive him around in it and hasn't started driving it on his own yet. We'll definitely have to watch out for that though
Great video, thanks for posting! If I wanted to use 2 batteries in parallel, would I connect both hots together on p+ and both negatives on - or am I thinking wrong? Very possible ha!
Yes that would be how you hooked them in parallel. That will give you more amperage but the same voltage
Did you remove the 7A L2 amp limiter to each motor?
If I don’t want to put the motor control on it will I still stay under 18 volts

Possibly, this adaptor is still holding up currently, is this something you make or a new design?
You need to take that black thing on it the little fuze lookin thing u need to take it off and plug it directly to the speed control
I've been running it for a few months now with the fuse still in it. I figure its better to have it fused and save the battery.
