- I converted the Yamaha Raptor Quad to a 20v battery and installed different LED lights on it. It's not a power wheels brand but this things rips!
This is awesome. Absolutely love it just bought my granddaughter one. I have a million Milwaukee batteries six pack Chargers everywhere absolutely love the lights
Thank you. Definitely a power wheel life hack.
I see this video is 2 years old now, did similar setup for the same wheeler as far as the 20v drill battery! However, the chuck on my craftsman drill crapped out on me. So I opened up the drill, took the wiring out, cut a good 2-3 inches up on the wires, and cut the bottom part of the drill itself off and put that part back together with the connectors in it so the battery slides right in! Just thought I’d share incase you end up doing this again and have junk drills laying around!
That's a very smart idea. Thank you for sharing.
I just dropped in a 12.8 volt, 10 amp hour lithium battery into my grandkids quad. Lasts about 1 1/2 times as long as a stock battery.
My son has the same atv and I didn't 20v conversion with a dewalt battery. We have had problems with the gear box motors frying
24V is fine...it has stock 570 motors 11 t pinon ( 24v capiable) and built in Heat sink to the gearbox.
I have 3-ea...got it for cheap ( $0-$40) on FB market....I have the susuki and yamaha.
the front wheels are the same as the back wheels.
I jwack the bottom of the battery tray...so I can fit 2-ea 12v @ 12ah ( 12000mah)
lead acid..that I took out of mx500...ect....12V @ 9.5 ah or 10 ah....will fit into the
stock tray ( razor/schwin 24v scooter)...it runs for hours
STOCK....it's 10-12 mph..fun speed for the 4-7 old old...The 10 yr/old can ride
on it even..she's still under 100lb....
You WANT this BRAND to do cheap voltage increase...without striping the gears.
I made it even FASTER....I took the motors from a pegporago they have 570 motors with
13T pinons...( got the perrego for $15)
You need to install 40-50 amp fuse...if you make it workable/effective..without blowing
the 30 amp fuse. There's stock fuse in mine.
i drill cooling vents to the top and bottom of motor area.
mount 12v mini/micro fan to keep the motors cool.
whatever..the 570 motors are only $12 -ea......Not $100 from mltoys.
You dont need a 24 volt charger...i made Y harness to the 12V power wheels
charger or regular automobile charger....i have 24v razor chargers....either way
I have wahzooo of stock power wheels 6 v and 12V batteries.
whatever. I run power wheels on 18V
i used to run 5s LIPO at 50C higher discharge. ( it has more power than the lion.)
Invested $ 300 just for the batteries for the kids ( but I can use them on R/C toys too)
5000mah pack ( 10-15 mins run time)...it was sort of pain to maintain battery
charging for all the grand kids ( sometimes I'll have 5 cars running at the sametime)
the nieghbors kids can play/drive with them too...
Thank you for the information. I appreciate it
Cool video. Just got a hand-me-down. Only have the right side tire spin
Cause you probably have one motor. Can always upgrade to 2
How have the gears held up over the years now? Are the stock motors still going strong? I have twin boys getting these for there birthday in a few months, I’ve already done the lights and figuring what voltage I want to go with now
Still going strong. With all the lights definitely run 12v otherwise *smoke*
So I am currently looking to do this to my kids raptor. Does it matter what battery and converter kit you go with? And I see some batteries have a higher AH, that just means longer run time?
Yes. The higher number on that means it can last longer.
Can you do a video or walk through how you spliced everything and set it up? I can't find a video to help me know exactly what I am doing.
Have you watched my video on the 12v to 24v on the jeep? It kinda explains it. If the raptor has anything else hooked into the battery such as lights, accessories, etc you can't do 24v cause it'll fry all of it. If it just powers the motors then you can. Watch that video and if you still need my help, lemme know and I'll make a video
Could you provide a detailed diagram depicting which wires to splice and which wires to run to 20v battery, thanks
I'm going to do an additional video about converting any power wheel toy into 24v with diagrams. Look for it soon.
Video has been uploaded.
@mosquitonkosak where did you get the led bulbs?
can you add bigger morders I would like a totorial thanks
Been running my son's on Ryobi 18v with great success. Been thinking about doing some lights on it too before winter gets here and it gets dark at 6pm. What LEDs did you use? Does anyone know what size motors are on the wheels? I'm thinking about slapping some 775 motors on it but not sure if it'll be beneficial
Hi have one that needs a battery and want to just convert it so basically if I didn't want lights I could just splice into the main wire harness and use ring connectors to go into the pos and neg. Of the drill battery with a fuse and fuss holder for the pos side and it will run?
It definitely should! Just make sure it's a 12v up to 24v going into a 12v power wheel.
Hello friend, I have a question. I have a motorcycle just like the one you have, I bought it a new battery and it doesn't want to work.
Make sure all your wiring is in order and there is no short or wires frayed.
i know im late to comment but there are some cool easy to install rc car led lights that i used
I might have to look into that
Nice do you know where I can get the bigger motor and stronger gears
Mltoys.com or Amazon.com
Hey man, I just picked up the same quad yesterday from offerup for $20. Only the reverse is working. The two forward speeds don't move but it lights up when I press down on the pedal, so I don't think I need a new pedal. Do you think it could be the motor or gear box?
Check all the wiring from the gear shifter to the motor and make sure it still works. If it works in reverse chance is the motor is fine. To test the motors, wire then directly to a battery and see if they spin.
This just happen to us to. The shifter has two switches underneath. I took the shifter apart and realigned the shifter and corrected position the switches should be. It fixed the problem but when my boys shift to fast it cuts out and they have to reshift slower.
Could you reply back with everything I need to buy to covert my sons?? He has the same Raptor
Other than taking things apart and wiring, the lights I used are...

Can u just cut off the plug part that comes out the atv and splice the ends to o connecters and just put that in the drill battery?(I have a 24 volt dewalt). I also brought a charger from harbor and freight that came with o connector adapter. I was gonna cut those ends off and put them on the part where the plug use to be
You can do that but I kept the original plug cause if the kids wanna to ride after the batteries died, I can still use the original battery.
@@mosquitonkosakthanks bro. also i have the same yamaha raptor and the fuse that it came with was 7.5 and i was only gonna bump it up to 20 fuse instead of a 40 amp fuse
@@sleezzzyp you can use a 30amp green one and itll work fine
@@mosquitonkosak thanks. I was gonna get the 30 amp but the idiot at oreillys told me if i go to high like a 40 it could still catch fire. Went home put in a yellow 20 amp, it drove for about 5 seconds and died and killed my dewalt. Anyways i ll be getting a 30 or 40. Thanks 👍
@@mosquitonkosak and did not notice the extra fuses on the battery 😞
Which led bulbs did u order?

Why didn't you wire them to a toggle control ?
Can u do mine
You can do it with my instructions given on here. I believe in you! 🙂
Great but too much of a pain in the ass unfortunately
It was me just messing around
