Power Wheels Traction Mod (A Must Do)

Follow along as we do a cheap traction modification for my sons power wheels. It went no where in our yard before. This transformed his power wheels into a real back yard adventure toy!

You will NEVER be able to put that Jeep back on slow speed. Look at that joy for the speed upgrade.

[@Nicolina919]

Awesome! What a cutie, lucky little kiddo! Good job Dad!

[@parkslopemo]

Your'e so right, the wheels should come like this, with some traction.

[@gulzeb]

Would cause binding in the drivetrain on concrete

[@dgpgarage9291]

Dude, awesome idea.... I just upgraded to 18volt lithium rigid power tool batteries... it gives it much a needed power upgrade, he’d power up those hills no problem and they are quick charge

[@michaeltechreviews5390]

Awesome work man thanks!

[@luciaspasco53]

Great idea!! Thanks for sharing!!

[@user-sl4ul4nc3t]

I use old lawn mower tires.. they're wider and made for turf..

[@supersport1625]

Thank you!!

[@pedalstomper78]

Love it! We building a Li-ion for it next? I've got some batteries.....

[@iangent.961]

In due time. :)

[@hotrocketdj]

How about a can of flex seal ? Would that work ?

[@subsnclubs]

Now up the power

[@mikecampbell9909]

the question 'why doesn't it come like this?' is one that i've been asking....

[@Grant_Woodford]

It’s helps the motor last longer because there isn’t a gear box

[@hobohappy111]

It would make to much sense, they want you to ware holes in plastic wheels so you have to replace

[@devono.5180]

i was thinking how bad these things could rip up a yard if they actually had traction. Especially since the motor control is simply on/off!

[@LightGesture]

Did a Dewalt mod on my kids. Running the 9Ah. Lmao. No traction

[@jasonhorton1217]

I’ve watched two or three videos of this mod and they’re all screwing into the wheel. I have the Dune Buggy one for my kid and the wheel is super thin (it has one of the knobs worn right off it) so I don’t understand what exactly they are screwing to?

[@corysturgis6660]

Plastic wheel

[@parkslopemo]

I would think some type of strong glue might work too.

[@johnzancana5315]

Would all four tires be overkill ?

[@iangent.961]

John Zancana he could use the extra traction in the grass when he first starts he always go straight for a second then turns regardless of the direction of the wheels. If I wanted to put more time into it I would have done the fronts as well.

This is a really clever fix, but the jury is still out on your sunglasses.
