Are you trying to get rid of the annoying sound effects? If so, go to settings in the menu go down to audio video settings then sound effects volume. You can turn it off. I don’t know why anyone would want to hear that
Checking this video out in 2023. About to buy a John Deere
I don't understand why on earth they put plastic wheels on these toys. They could at least put foam wheens....much better traction.
Excellent fix 👏 Thanks for sharing this information. My son's gator would just spin the tires on pavement turf and dirt. Definitely need to do both rear tires because there's 2 motors in the rear (posi traction) wish they had these when we were kids. 👍
Nice
Bro your a liar, Tyler was six because he was born in 2009! Your a phoney he is in prep!
I think the best part about this is it reduces the noise of driving on the cement.
why not just buy new real rubber wheels and replace ??
There is no direct replacement. The absolute easiest upgrade is something like what is shown in this video. A 14" trike tire can be slipped directly on with some soapy water, rather than screwing a cut length on.
Has this still been an effective fix? Any long term issues?
Your a genius man. Thanks
The tires that come on the car are the tires it was designed to run. Changing tire diameter changes the gear ratio and can burn out motors. Ride-ons don't have a clutch in their gearboxes. They use the spinning tire as a clutch. Adding more traction with rubber or spikes removes the clutch and almost always overheats motors and breaks gears. Picking the right vehicle for your kid includes matching the tires it comes with to the terrain it will be used in. Monster Traction tires on the F150 are really bumpy on pavement. Mustang tires will not get traction easily in dirt. Tires are not interchangeable between vehicles so before you spend your time and money modifying make sure you've got the right foundation. You can't get no action if you ain't got no traction!
The gearbox/motors blow out from shifting from forward to reverse while moving. That's the most common problem with the gearboxes. Are they made to slip, yes, but the shifting while moving is a lot harder on the gearbox/motor than the no slipping after tire mod is. I was a powerwheel certified tech long long ago.
All of the Power Wheels brands have hard-plastic tires with the same basic design, and almost all the same treads. They are likely designed to be cheap to blow-mold, without consideration of wear on the gear-box. Adding treads to the front tires doesn't affect the gear-box at all, but will make steering much more responsive, possibly making it safer (rather than skidding straight forward when trying to avoid an obstacle). Adding to the back will add the more-instantaneous grip, so that can add wear to the unmodified gear-box, but the stock tires can catch instantly on some surfaces as well. As is, my kid wore the stock tires completely out before the gear-boxes (front and back, driving on the rims by the end). I think the other point that the reversing while still moving forward is definitely the worse wear and tear on the gear box. (Good luck training a 3 or 4 year old to not do that.) Various traction upgrades usually end up in tires that will out-last the life of the vehicle. In the end, if the terrain is leading to a lot of slipping, there is a trade-off. The kid gets more use from the tires if they are upgraded, along with less frustration and more fun. If that does reduce the life of the gearboxes, you can get stronger replacements for as cheap as $70 for two. Replacing all four tires, as I have had to do, cost me $60. I wish I had known I needed to add some protection to the tires. I think we only got six months out of them on our terrain.
@@grandwizardnoticer8975 I agree,the ride-on we have is 6 years old, has discoloured and is beaten up and just recently the kids broke the steering wheel off. Like anything made of plastic these days most have a short life. So mod away and enjoy them while they last.
@@paulhotson5820 I just noticed that your original comment was from the MLTOYS website, ha ha
@@grandwizardnoticer8975 Search and you will find! 🤣
I want to give a shoutout to Winfield over there... Did this and my son was rocking and rolling up our steep driveway on the first try. I have the newer model XUV and bought 2 29" tires. They were only big enough to do 1 each. Should have bought 4 smaller tires. Either way, I am excited for my 3 year old to cruise around our mean streets.
I just got the XUV - which tires should I get?
I did just the rears but was able to cut a 29” tire in half and stretch it to wrap both rear tires. Turned out really nice. With the tight pull it really conforms to the plastic tire.
I poped some self tapping a screws in the back tires. Works really well.
Good idea. I usually just put a box of self tappers with her head into tires and they throw rocks and kids love it lol
It’s not the compressor that’s the fan motor
Thank you so much for filming this! My three year old has the pedal version of the JD front loader and couldn't go anywhere unless he was on concrete. I found a couple of old mountain bike tires in the attic and screwed to the tires using your technique. Very effective! God bless!
Awesome. Glad to see people still getting use out of the video. The boys have since outgrown the Gator, but it's found a new home down the street and continues to operate.
Where do you get $9.00 29 in tires
We got them at Wal-Mart, but that was multiple years ago.
Did you ever find out what the issue was? My AC is/ was doing the exact same thing!- until it dies completely!- PLEASE HELP! lol
That’s the condenser fan motor. Not the compressor making that noice
Hello! What size drywall screws are you using? Thanks!
Since there is more traction, is it harder on the motor and gears since there is no slippage?
Yes, I'm sure it does put the motor and gears under a bigger workload. It was not catastrophic though to our boys' regular usage of it. It was still running and operating when we gave it away to another family when our boys outgrew it. We weren't seeing more fuses blown or anything like that with the traction upgrade either.
No my friend I love nascar. Expect
How long do these last? Are reapplying treads overtime? Thank you for the idea, clear instructions, and wisdom on tool choices.
My upgrade is on two years and no perceptible wear on the tires with two children using it almost daily.
Que tipo de tijera sirve para cortarle el borde a la llanta? Alguien sabe gracias, de antemano.
Se llaman, "tijeras de hojalata"
Q
turbo oil bearing, change them and you fix the problem.
Great video! Thank you.
He's about 10 now my age lol
What width did you use? Were they from Walmart?
Awesome upgrade. We have the tractor and I’ve put a 12v 12ah under the hood and two 12v 20ah batteries under the tractor all in parallel. The 3 year old grandson get over 12 hours of run time this way. Gonna do the tire upgrade soon. Thanks for the idea.
If you put them in parallel your running 36volts...seems like a lot on a system not designed for that voltage....
Do have any helpful resource or guide for your battery upgrade? Extending ride time is a great idea.
@@geezerguy6410 You're thinking series. In parallel, voltage is equal and amperage is cumulative. Hence the gain in capacity (12hr runtime).
🔥🔥🔥
my 320i does the same thing, on forums they say it might be the turbo, or the turbo pipe, or the pipes running below the turbo. Some say its just oil that somehow gets into exhaust from sitting and its that that burns off. I dont know what it is but it drives me crazy
Have you found the solution to this on your vehicle?
@@wizk04 They said its just because its cold. but it somehow resolved itself the last year. its not doing it anymore
my f30 dose the same. since i changed the oil and spart plugs. any idea and tip please
My 328i xdrive is doing this . I'ma girl is this something that needs to be fixed asap advice please mine is blowi g double of this video
@@sebastianjungle I just had oil and spark plug change and its smoking on start up, did you ever get to the bottom of this?
Great idea, just one suggestion, you may want to use rivets, less chance of them popping out and getting you some flat tires on your cars.
The drywall screws don't pop out. They are holding up great after two years.
Finally executed on this tire upgrade project. Not sure if the newer trucks have larger tires but the 29 inch tires were not big enough to cover the front tires. It seemed that the tires I bought off amazon were stiffer than the ones shown in the video. I’d say to be safe buy 31 inch tires of those are available. I doubt they would be too much more expensive. But overall the project was a huge success. My kids can now drive all over my hilly property without hardly any slippage at all! Pretty amazing! Thanks again for the fantastic video!
Veracity did you actually use the 31” or smaller/larger? Just about to follow suit.
@@DynamicDaddio I'd recommend getting the biggest you can find. I had to buy an extra 29 inch tire to get around all 4 tires. But the final result is amazing. My property has all sort of hills and the gator can make it up all of them with the tire upgrade. Get the best cutters you can as the metal plies are very difficult to cut through.
@@ABCD-eg5ky I don't know if youll see this, but can you give me the exact dimensions of the tires? I'm having trouble finding them.
I've never seen a 31" bike tire. If you need extra length, use a heat gun or hair dryer, or leave the tires in the sun for a few hours to soften them up to get the stretch.
Very nice video. Gave me some great ideas. My lot has lots of hills so more traction is a requirement for our new gator! Thanks for making this video!
Yoo
Awesome I’m wanting to build a modified power wheel.With a nerf turret stand and a bunch of other stuff!Any ideas?
Great in the snow too. Snow blowed path in yard and grips just fine. Thanks for the tip.
I like it. Any problems with over-torquing the drive shaft? I do worry about too much traction being a problem.
No problems, and it's been run over a year as you saw us setup in the video.
Thanks for this great idea! Just did this to my little guys tractor. Works awesome!
Still going strong, Ryan?
Still going strong. No problems.
I want to know how long after this the tiny shafts and gear box split
My two children have been using the upgrade for two years with no mechanical problems
This is awesome! Getting my nephew the f150 and you'd think for 500 they have something a little better than plastic tires

hey It's the oil pipe to the turbo. When the car is off oil seems to seep back in the turbo. BMW is aware of the problem and has very recently developed a new oil line to fix this problem. Go to BMW dealer and order the new oil pipe. bmwtechnician.com/2015/11/04/n20-turbo-oil-line/
Yes, that was my gut too. The estimates to repair it are crazy expensive though.
How much was the estimate because I am having the same problem?
+Sean Baxter There's an extended warranty on the oil line cover it, at least on my model year. I found it when I was getting reimbursed for my thermostat repair (bmw-rp.com/production/isg/bmw/reimbursement_bmw_portal.nsf) I got it fixed under that. But the original estimate was $1,150 -- 7 hours of labor estimated. (!)
Ryan Keefer yeah I just got mine fixed under the extended warranty last week thanks though. BMW deafly makes it a pain to find out whether or not the part is warrantied and I had to call several different people because it didn't show up online under my BMW.
I had the same problem on my 328i 2012 and they replace the turbo at about 4900 miles right before the warranty was up. Now I’m at 8000 miles and it’s doing the exact same thing .
Kellyanne Lynch It was such an unbelievably cool day (and night) and I'm so thankful for the experience. Charlotte has a lot of unique memories, but the 2014 Coca Cola 600 tops them for me. The cool thing too is that each #Fantern experience is slightly different, so the experience is as unique as the tracks themselves.
Kellyanne Lynch The only down side was my son didn't to share in the experience. My son and I have learned the sport together and he's definitely one the reasons I won and the main reason I got into NASCAR.
Love your son's recommendation for you to win! Congrats on completing a half marathon!
Hi, Ryan! Thank you so much for posting this! Looks like you had an awesome time! I just found out today that I won the Fantern experience for the Loudon race next month. Getting to see all the incredible things you got to do makes me even more excited for next month. Thanks again! Always great to meet a fellow Mikey fan!
Awesome!
I wish the Production department had been invited! Looks fun!
