You are a genius my friend I just tried and it ran smooth as butter fast and more fast the little one did not want to leave it it was great followed the steps got some 12 gauge wire and a bussman 30amp circuit breaker from autozone and boom thank you again tu have a subscriber in me thank you have a blessed day
I actually did this with one I just bought for my grandson, and this this is FAST in high gear. Exactly how fast I'm not sure, but I can tell you that in low gear it will easily keep up with our riding mower at full speed.
Thanks for posting. I have been thinking about doing this to our Denali. I agree with Foxtrot, please post links to battery and other products that you used, including the charger. Keep up the great work. Much appreciated. 👍
@@socalgaragegolfers9343 everybody does it. That's why you can get the damn harness super easy on Amazon. Not super why you're panties are all in a wad. Congrats on your Rube Goldberg technique.

Mine has a control box with soft start and remote built in, would this still work or do I need to remove the control box and wire it so it just works on the pedal
Nice good idea,just every time u upgrate wires cut them off in difrent size like the positive longer and negitive shorter that way they dont touch if they ever snap off
The wires on my quick connect plug have pulled out of the plug itself. Is there a way to reconnect the wires to the original white plastic plug? I'm having a hard time figuring out how to get the wires back in.
I did everything besides put a circuit breaker in...I just used the online fuse. I didn't have a fuse in it....but tried it anyways and nothing. Does the fuse have to be in to complete the circuit?
Hello, thanks for this well explained video. So, if I have a 6volts and wanted to upgrade to a 12volts, how many amps circuit breaker do I need to get for this conversion? Do i need to go 30amps or lower and if so how much lower? Thanks for your advice!
Hi , really well explained here. Just a question please. Are the RollPlay cars motors designed to handle 24v ? I currently have a ride on for my kid, which is not a Rollplay one. It has 2 x 12 v battery's in parallel not series. Was wondering if i can just rewire it to be in series ie 24V and upgrading the circuit breaker to 30 amps. Whats misleading on the ride on I got it says its 24V, but its actually just 2 x 12 v batteries , so it surely has more AH, but at 12V, so not sure if it better to run more Voltage ie 2 x 12 v = 24V (Series) at lower AH or 2 x 12v = 12V (Parallel) at Higher AH? And the Charger point is like them Aux microphone port type. But I am still not sure if the 4 motors on the ride on can handle the 24V. And will a drop in AH ie from 18AH to 9AH make any difference you think? Thank you
It depends the value of the main controller board and the dc motor. If you will upgrade 12v - 24v without changing board and motors you will ruin your rideon car immediately!. It will run but it will burn in a few minutes.
Quick question... Did you have an additional battery "retainer" bar (idk what it's supposed to be called, but it's the bar that goes over top of the battery and screws down on one side) for the other battery? If not, what did you use to hold down the battery?
Same thing. Pulling my hair out why it won't work. Double and triple checked wiring and used the exact same parts. Turn they key on and it only beeps once, not three times as before. That's the only thing it does.
Everything still works. I just completed the conversion a few weeks ago. So far everything has held up. Eventually the motor and gears will fail. I’ve already ordered the stage 3 motors and metal gears from ML toys which is also a quick conversion.
The problem I have with this video is that you did not mention if the adapter needs to be changed. Like the adapter that some of these come with. the 121 volt adapter.
If you don't want to go through all the hassle of upgrading your charger, just swap your jumper wire between the batteries so they're in parallel instead of series. Then your 12v charger will charge two 12v batteries at once.
@@victoriasanders2151 here, they're wired in series, two 12v batteries make 24v in series. If you swap the jumper so that the positives are connected to each other and the negatives are connected to each other, they're wired parallel, so your charger will charge two 12v batteries like they're one bigass 12v battery.
@@brianbird3756 So basically after the kids are done playing with the truck and you go to charge it, you have to just unhook the wires and set them to parallel to charge. Once charging is done set them back to series and off they go again? Is that correct?
@@brianbird3756 Last question, If I go with a 12V and 6V battery (want to make mine just 18v, not full 24v), would the stock charger charge the 6V battery if I ran this set up parallel or would I need a separate charger that is designed to charge 6V?
Great video thanks. Two questions for you. 1. What did you do with the fuse that came with the original battery? 2. What gauge wire did you buy ? 12g 600v?
He mentioned it maybe a 14 or 16 Gage but I wondered if it matters which one u use.I just ordered my nephew a Dodge Charger police car Power Wheel and I'm already planning on modifying it.LOL
I used a 30 amp mini fuse, and it continues to blow the fuse when she stops and starts quickly. Any suggestions on how to prevent that? I have the zephyr fuse on it's way.
Originally motors runs on 12 volt, is there any risk to motors if you supply double 24 volt, bcoz motors are marked by default as 12 volt, Please advise.
@@socalgaragegolfers9343 naw. Major risk is motor will burn out and gears will strip. Dont give people false info. Smh. These stock motors are 550 motor which is rated for only 12v. Can be run on 18v but not 24v. It will run on 24v but will burn out quick. You need to upgrade to a 775 motor which can handle 24v. And will need metal gears so they won't strip.
@@socalgaragegolfers9343 Could this same set up just be done with a 12V battery and a 6V battery instead of two 12V batteries? Or does adding another battery of lower voltage change the dynamics of how the wiring would need to be run?
Hey, so I just did this on mine. Same truck. Used a 30a breaker, the only thing that might be different is that I used an 18g wire (all I had). Doesn’t beep when key is turned on and it doesn’t move at all. Batteries are fully charged. Any idea? Thanks very much
I am in the same boat. I did the upgrade and now the battery meter shows a full charge, but when I turned the key and pressed the pedal nothing happened. I went back to 12v and still nothing
So I had the same thing happen to mine and I was not able to get it to work. I checked this diagram: assets.rollplay.net/12v-gmc-sierra-denali/12V_pickup_service_guide.pdf You will most likely need a new controller. I found this video to replace it (i needed a new pedal anyways but you can find a cheaper controller without a pedal but wiring will be different) ua-cam.com/video/bqtbd5UHmhI/v-deo.html&ab_channel=RaztechPowersports
I have the same issue. Did the conversion with the same parts and it shows full power but will not move. Not sure what the issue could be but I hope it is not fried…
Andrew Smith yes that’s true....not rated for it but that does not mean it does not work if you push it to 24v. Does it spin the motor faster? YES. Does it work? YES. Will it wear faster? YES. But you will extend the usage because the 12V is just to slow for the kids when they get older. Cheers and going fast is fun.

@Leah Watts I just did my son's, just a 5 minute test ride. We cam smell burning electrical... afraid to keep pushing it.
Dude, sign up for Amazon associates and link the batteries you used. That way we can get them and you can make a cut. Win-win
Good stuff. Thanks for sharing with us fellow dads!

You can get a DeWalt drill battery harness. And use drill batteries. Easier conversion and cheaper batteries that charge faster.
Great idea…where’s your video and explanation? Talk is cheap.

Does this have a circuit board and if so will it damage it ?
How can I or rather what can I do to keep it from turning off ?
Did it last or will it cause the motor to blow,
Got this car for my son. Car turns on but don’t run and lights don’t turn on? Idk if is cuz I didn’t charge for 24 hours first

Too much power being drawn. Put a speed controller. They sell them on Amazon cheap (about $20).
