- Check out the upgrade from Overvoltedscooters (on eBay) that took this cool Razor Quad from 24v to 36v. What a difference!!
Some observations after the update:
- Power increase by almost 50%
- Battery life = about 1 hour
- Easy visual to tell when battery is getting drained
- Added Reverse (big bonus for this quad)
- Headlight was actually quite strong!
Let us know if any questions!

I can’t wait to have kids some day so I can build stuff like this with them. What a blast this must be! Great vid
its soooo fun. Me and my girl actually never wanted kids, 3 yrs ago we decided to stop her birth control and just see what happens , if she gets pregnant then it was meant to be and if not , then we just keep having fun ourselves lol . well she got prego right away and its been a blast. My boy just turned 3 and already hes on our boat all the time, rides with my on our jetski, we got him snowboarding before he could even walk, now hes crushing it, swimming in the pool every day in the summer, we had him on a starter quad at 2 and now he zips around on this bigger one. These are all the things we live for so now Its the best sharing all the fun things we and my wife do, with him.
Beautiful land & property!!!
Thanks, Nat. Easy to social distance out here. :)
Wow awsome video dude!!!! Now I can make it faster instead of buying a bigger one
Excellent description. I’m not going to mention helmets. Hahaha
Thx again for insight.
Ya - no father of the year award there!! :)
Great job guys. Could you show me any info or pictures on how you wired the switch to change direction of the motor please?
I'll see if we can get some time to open it up. I should have done that during the install, sorry. As for the changing of the direction of the motor, this is handled by the 36v controller unit. The old controller gets replaced and the new controller comes with it's own connections that allow connections to the power source, drive unit, add-ons like reverse, lights, new throttle unit. etc. I did not actually have to add any wiring to existing motor unit.
awesome video and review! I just purchased one for my nephew. Do you know how can I get this type of upgrades and service in the buffalo, NY area? Could I possible go to a mechanic? I stink at building stuff
I'm not aware of any services that do this but trust me, if I can do it, you can do it. The instructions are pretty good and I'm happy to help with specific questions. I did put a link to the core 36v upgrade kit in the video description. The hardest part of the upgrade is wiggling the extra 12v battery into the front part of the frame but even this is not too hard. Your nephew will love it and it extends the playtime by another 30-45 minutes as well!
Do you have a video of how to do the upgrades?
Awesome😁
I need to do it
My 5 years old like this 24v Razor Quad
I used 2 sequence ML18-12 - 12V 18AH batteries and it can run 1-1.5H now but to add some Juice can be a nice things
For sure - get that 36v upgrade kit. Takes about an hour to do if you have tools handy. Makes the unit SO much better and your child will continue to use it for years to come. You'll see that my property is a bit rough so this will take its toll on the motor over time. I had to replace my older kids 36v motor on his Quad 500 unit. Have fun - thanks for stopping by!
@@killerbstech5718 My Razor is 8 years old . Its already second kit using it :) . Very well done with good suspension
I am thinking about same kit from ebay , i just don't need the battery as i am using much stronger batteries anywhere ...
BTW there are a lot of space underneath to use any size batteries u want
How do you charge this? Do you have to take the battery out every single time or just plug it in somewhere?
No - you just charge through the normal port. The upgrade kit does come with a beefier charger but that's it!
That's awesome 😁👍I'm seriously considering getting this quad for my Goddaughter 7th birthday. Iv read the reviews and it seems most people's complaints are that the batteries are cheap. It's nice to know they sell upgrades thanks for sharing. I see this was posted a year ago how is the quad doing is it still going strong 💪?
Still going strong. It's been a great update to the quad and the boys love it. This one worked so well that I upgraded my other son's 36v Quad 500 to 48v. I think the battery system is not bad. Maybe too high of expectations from other reviewers but we get about an hour on our property which is pretty hilly and rough. On a more level property and even streets, I would say you'd get 60-90 minutes. Just take a break - have some lunch and recharge. :) Thanks for the comments!
@william Cranston Hey William thanks for all the info I actually did get the quad and it is AWESOME my little one loves it. When I ordered the quad I also got a 12v 5amp hour SLA battery and a set of strobe lights Red/White I put the 2 white in front and the reds in back was able to squeeze and strap the battery in front of the battery box between the body bar fit perfectly so I have a separate battery for the lights 12v and any accessories. I'm actually waiting right now on and Amazon order with a USB 2 port charger the shape of a cigarette outlet for a car and led 3ft whip that will be the only mods I have done so far I figure for Christmas I'll upgrade to 36v and get the reverse switch and new throttle with the key ignition and digital battery volt read. Really everywhere we go she is turning heads with it and there are soooo many options for mods on these quads. I'm probably going to make a video on the mods iv done in a few days I'll make sure to come by and share a link so you can see the mods iv done
Thanks for all the generous info greatly appreciated 😁👍
@william Cranston Where did you get this sprocket? Or info about doing the upgrade?
Love it!
Does he have to use the brake before upgrade? Like does it naturally slow down after throttle is fully lifted or does it coast? My almost 3 year old has his showing up soon he broke our 18v converted power wheels quad lol
No - by virtue of being an electric motor it will slow itself down as the voltage is removed from it (throttle). The brake is really only needed for harder stopping and maneuvering.
I missed 90% of the video because I’m in awe of that property. Where are you located?
We're in the Castle Rock, CO area. Love it here!! Thanks for watching!
where did you get the headlight with the correct connector? I looked at the link and they do not offer the headlight.
Here was the link to the item I bought - www.ebay.com/itm/223798181219. It shows out of stock right now but the seller is responsive so shoot him a message (overvoltedscooters) via eBay and he can let you know ETA or maybe similar part number. Good luck!!
Great video! Do you mind to share the exact pieces you ordered for these upgrades. Thanks. Hope you can upload a video on how to perform the upgrades that would be awesome!
The upgrade kit is here. Overvolted Scooters only sells on eBay as far as I know. Since I already did the upgrade, I probably won't be able to do that video but if there are specific questions, I can make quick videos on those. It really is a pretty easy upgrade. :)
Is there a kit that only has the reverse option? I'm not looking to upgrade to 36v only add reverse.
You would still need to get their controller head unit and then get the reverse option. It's up to you if you want to use the added 12v battery to make it 36v or just stay with the 24v power. You would, though, need the upgrade kit since it has the new controller that allows the reverse, lights, etc. Hope this helps!!
Would you happen to remember where you found the fwd/reverse option?
Daniel, I got them all through the same eBay seller. Here was a link to the item that I purchased. It says out of stock but you may want to send him a message or search to see if he has any newer, updated listings. Here's the link: www.ebay.com/itm/324028584137
I believe its a 6 pin rocker switch thats wired with a reverse polarity thats wired between the motor and controller with 3 positions neutral, forward and reverse
You can make that mx650 brushless and 48v lithium and he will have plenty power.. Look at my channel for info on build
Hi I bought my daughter an ssr motorsports abt-e350. This is a 24 volt, can I do the same thing?
Hey, Andrew. Theoretically, yes, but I'm not sure the controller units are the same wiring between Razor and SSR. I would shoot off a quick message to Overvolted Scooters in the ebay link I put into the description. I din't make the upgrade - just bought it and put it in. Sorry.
How much did you end up spending all together on all the upgrades!?
Hey, D. Thanks for watching. I went back and looked at my eBay activity and it was the 3 items totaling $190.
Is everything you put on the quad in the link?
It is!! The parts have been hard to find lately, though. Good luck!!
We need a how 2 and a link to buy the parts
I was hoping to piece together footage for a how-to but never have gotten to it. I did check eBay, though, and the seller is still selling part. Check out this link for all of his items. I saw both the 36v and 48v upgrades depending on model you have. www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?ssPageName=&_ssn=overvoltedscooters
Link ? So I can buy the 36v kit
How’s the kit still holding up? Looking to possibly buy their kit for my boys quad 500
Kit is holding up great. Our property is pretty demanding and kids love it - especially when friends come over. We upgrade the 24V dirt bike as well and they love cruising around the house! As I mentioned in another recent comment - adding some more support the new battery is helpful - we used a couple of small bungees to add that extra support.
@@killerbstech5718 In contacting the seller apparently the kit that used to include Reverse is no longer available and they have no suggestions on how to incorporate Reverse other than buying a separate Reverse polarity switch. I also haven't been able to find any other kit that incorporates it.
Where did you order the kit from
From this seller on ebay - I'm not seeing this exact kit but message him for details : www.ebay.com/sch/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_from=&_ssn=overvoltedscooters&_pgn=5&_skc=200&rt=nc
How long did the stock 24v motor last at 36v
An update on this - we just replaced the stock 24v motor with a 36v motor. The 24V motor last almost 2.5 years post upgrade. I think our terrain had more to do with the motor dying than the torque, though. Could be wrong!!
@@killerbstech5718 Which 36v motor did you replace with? Thanks for the video
Did you have to sauder the new batteries wires?
No - the new controller comes with standard slide-on connectors that connect to the additional 12v battery.
@@killerbstech5718 Thanks!
How the motors hold up?
Good - still going strong!
Hey everyone! Here is a tutorial on how to add a Reverse Switch to your Razor Dirt Quad ATV: czcams.com/video/5IfXxSNkaHA/video.html
I used the kit but it came on and went right off
That's a bummer - what came off? Because of our bumpy/hilly terrain, we did have to bungee the extra battery in a bit more but has worked great!
Buy venom 1300w 48v so you dont have to do all that and has reverse option.
what do you do to afford all that land. educate me
Great video. Your boy is way to big for that quad tho. They won't say it for liability reasons but those fit a three year old.
"Thats probably why kids should be wearing helmets..." fast forward a few minutes- no kids practicing safe riding by wearing helmets. *rolls eyes*
Makes me wonder how I survived being a kid! Knowing better and doing better isn't always the same but I can pass advice on and let others make the call! :)
