www. avcustomhandyman.com we explain how to modify a power wheel. How to do a tighter turn on a power wheel and what to expect when you do power wheels modifications.
That is so awesome and I am giving my daughter a power wheel this Christmas and gonna do most of this. Thanks for the great instructional video. Man that jeep can fly.
Imagine just cruising on the sidewalk in that thing and you're on 12 volts and when some other kid on a power wheel drives by drop gear to 18 volts XD nice mod!
You almost had me? Yo never had me, you never had your car. Granny shifting not double clutching like you should. Be glad that the 100 shot of NOS didn't blow the welds on the intake. Almost had me?
wildstyle509 no I don't think so I used a motorcycle battery on my little sister's and it made it go way faster than it should so I'm assuming it don't lol
The motors have a working voltage. Most likely they are 6v to 36 volts... The label may tell you, you could also call the manufacturer and ask them what the working voltage is.
You are one righteous dude. I'm just learning to be a Grandpa and decided to sell my Vette and spend the money on New Hobbies "That includes 2yr old Hunter". I got him a Mecedes Benze SUV that is 6volt. its only been one week and he drives by me and says "Faster Bampa, make go faster". After watching you video, I'm already shopping for a new battery.
Thanx bro!!! I just got one (power wheel) for my nephew... And in about 3 months I'll jump his power plant up to 24 v once he gets comfortable with the fundamentals
My friend it is great to see you do a tutorial on the powerwheels. I did all that 23 years ago with a garden tractor battery. Instead of 15 minutes it was over an hour, going from 6V to 12V. And used the tractor tires some how, it was a long time ago but I do remember putting sm. Screws in the plastic wheels for traction on ice and snow
KvAt motor smokes internally welds from over-voltage conditions 💞😋 Y'all got to remember it was designed for 12.... Look up the actual specs for that electric motor... Then you can see what you can do to it. Besides that you can always upgrade the motors
Watch till the end. This guy sucks at explaining (as do I) but he’s smart and got creative towards the end with the rest of his modifications. Awesome man thanks for the video
You want traction? Look for traction with hard rubber grommets. The type with washers built in. Known as OD washers They are screwed on to the hard plastic wheels. No Slipping or skidding after you place them evenly along the plastic wheel. Use a hex screw with a power drill... Go no further than your neighborhood Army surplus stores. They have them cheap by the pound. If you don't have one of those where you live. Try the sport section and look for baseball/ softball molded cleat set at these sellers: K-mart , Sears, Target, and (UGH) Wallmart.
Looks awesome haha. But those front tires under some stress with that extra turning radius looks like they are going to break in the future thats for sure.
I did this with my daughters Power wheel range rover and 4 wheeler. The 4 wheeler I converted to 12 volts from 6 volts and I had to put homemade wheelie bar because it dropped the kids lol it's holding the upgraded voltage. The range rover I upgraded to 24 volts and I had to run with my daughter to keep up with her but it destroyed the gears quickly. That was her favorite up until it broke..... their laughs and smiles are well worth these modifications
Mixing two batteries of different voltages isn't wise. Maybe if they are the same Amp hour, you'll get a more even drain. BTW I thought she flicked off the camera the first time haha!
Daniel Allen you're right those battery should be in parallel as to draw on the individual profiles of each battery itself... Not inject 12 volts through a 6 volt battery... That 6-volt battery is going to get smoked. But he'll learn 😉 Costly mistake though. Also, in parallel that would increase run time. I don't know much was batteries are but they can't be cheap.
You're not injecting 12 volts anywhere. In series the two batteries act as on the main concern is the cells may be different sizes "mah" this could cause over/under charge/discharge issues apparently he's charging them separate so my concerns is over discharge of the smaller cells. But it doesn't inject 12 volts through 6.
When in parallel you need 2 same sized batters wired positive to positive and neg to neg to double mah "amp hours" with is run time. 2 12 volt batteries in parallel is still 12 volts just doubles mah. 2 12 volt batteries in series neg to pos pos to neg doubles volts to 24 but keeps mah "run time" the same.
Love the tire-tread idea. I was looking at small tires today, anticipating the "drifting". But, mine has a center rubber tread already. You can also wire the remote part to the 12v only... You just use the wire from between the batteries as the 12v source. One more idea... Get a PWM speed controller that goes from 6v-24v @ 30a/40a. Then you can use two 12v batteries, giving them control of the speed with a dial, or using the foot-pedal. (You can limit the start-voltage and stop voltage, without much effort. It is also easy to quickly half-power, for new or younger riders. You can use a key to lock it out too, or enable it.)
Who would neg vote this? Crazy awesome mod! Great thinking with the kill switch. The front yard obstacle course is cool. You can also use a remote car actuator. I made one for a TTR-50. No vid or tutorial though. My only suggestion is a helmet. :)
That is cool. I changed my sons Power Wheels from 12v to 24v. I also gave the plastic wheels more grip with rubber inner tubes from lawn tractor tires. I later had to upgrade the motors due to overheating. I clocked him with my truck at 28mph. Lots of fun.
Cool idea. Just feel bad that the girl is just doing small circles enclosed in a chain link fence. Open it up and let her drive down the street or to a park
gaff I can see it now .... Smoking electric motors. These parts are generally designed just to handle what they are being fed originally. (And built by the lowest bidder) This is because people like to build parts cheap, they don't want to over-invest. So why would you use an electric motor that can handle say 30 volts, when are you going to feed it is 12. This has to do with the gauge of wire inside, as well as the coating on said wires. So my prediction is smoke... And no movement. But hey you go waste your money, have fun. P.s. I do understand that there are instances when things give me push past their design limits but it's severely shortens their working lives.
Ha. No clue how this ended up in my recomendation videos....made my xmas seein that lil girl bout shit her pants when it took off on hi. I had one of those 4wheeler powerwheels when i was little....wish i had someone able to do this to mine. Still,good memories even without. Happy holidays.
A 6.5 liter hemi huh? Interesting... Thought they were made with 6.1's in the older gens and 6.4's in the newer gen ones. But hey you seem to be the automotive genius here.
The steering/traction issue you describe as drifting is actually called understeer as it relates with the traction loss on the front wheels causing the vehicle to be pushed straight while the front wheels are turned. With regard to the steering stops you cut I think I would probably have just widened the steering wheel stop key slot to the point where it it gave the steering brackets 1/4 in of play before they max out (cutting the stop on the bracket itself as you did would have probably been required). Also, creating the scenario of a tighter turning radius contributes significantly to understeer. So, there's that.. Good idea on the bike tires and that remote cut off though.
Its not understeer when the wheels lose traction that is called skidding or sliding. Understeer has nothing to do with traction loss, it may attribute to it though.
Those batteries are too heavy bro. I built my kids a 20 cell 12V lithium battery for their normally 6V power wheel Lil' Quad and changed the motor and gearbox to a higher rpm 6/12V unit and this thing hauls. The lithium battery is alot lighter weight than the factory acid battery so that alone makes it faster. It runs all day long without heating up or running down and it's so fast that when I take them around the block I have to run the entire time to keep up with it. It carries my 2 and 3 year old kids together with no problem, combined the kid's weight is 75 lbs.
Tesla got some competition!

bill richards XD yes
bill richards lol
bill richards lhhhh
she's going to need shocks! great job dad
That thing also needs brakes.
+Not Chuck Norris the motors(while off) are the brakes.

U guys are gay it probably goes like 10
Brent Scammey hahahahaha hahahahaha. It is dangerous for children. Much more fun for the children too.
That is so awesome and I am giving my daughter a power wheel this Christmas and gonna do most of this. Thanks for the great instructional video. Man that jeep can fly.
Its going to end up being your power wheel lol
X'O NY lol you comment a comment from 1 yr ago
BLOOD DAWG u think he ded?
X'O NY probably
BLOOD DAWG I don't see why that matters but ok
Why are dislikes on this video!?!? I wanna do this to my kids powerwheels! Thank you! 👍🏽🙏🏽
Imagine just cruising on the sidewalk in that thing and you're on 12 volts and when some other kid on a power wheel drives by drop gear to 18 volts XD nice mod!

dang, the 18v made it fast lol she jumped on that ramp lol badass
Jav Munguia m .uk by . By b tv b tv
How do the motors keep up with the extra 6volts? Do they heat up? Or burn out? And how long does the charge last when running it on 18volts?
wildstyle509 no I don't think so I used a motorcycle battery on my little sister's and it made it go way faster than it should so I'm assuming it don't lol

That's sweet man
Ron Hawkins fg
when she throws up the dueces lmfao
you're daughter is a good driver
LOL go to 18v throws up a peace sign!!
She's going to be a wild one
I screamed when she flipped it to 18 volts and threw up that peace sign. She's awesome!
That is AWESOME!
But uh.... Your gettin some positive camber issue's on those turns
Michael Luscher it's actually steering induced toe-out. steering geometry wasn't a main design priority for power wheels.
Thanx bro!!! I just got one (power wheel) for my nephew... And in about 3 months I'll jump his power plant up to 24 v once he gets comfortable with the fundamentals
That was soo cool she was waiting for that upshift and flew!!! Nicely done!
Dude your the best dad ever!
*you're
You’re a dumbass :)
That thing needs a drag racing rollcage on 18v.
I wish this man was my father!
Wow. I cant believe I’m just now hearing about this!!! I’m having a daughter soon so this will be a fun project for us to do when she gets older
8/10 needs hydraulics
lmfao
Quick Sipper hydrolics are a lift but customizable
Jarrett hell yeah
Low rider powerwheel imagine the girl going up and Down with the hydraulics
I AM DIEING JUST PICTURING THAT HAHA OMG 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Pimp My Ride sure got downgraded
Yea right pimp.my ride never did shit for performance modifications. Stupid ass show
df you mean b this is upgrade
/\/ / /\/ _/ /-\ Pimp.my ride never did shit for performance just like I said... Was I talking about this guy? Im not gonna hold your hand "G"
SlashMan.EXE you spelled upgraded wrong
SlashMan.EXE shit more like upgraded homey
Next week he's adding twin turbos.
Ryan Cokus lol
Ryan Cokus your a twin turbo
😂

You sir are a great dad! Props for doing this for your daughter. Great ideas!
hot damn... wheelie bars are next!! 😎
This really made my day, thank you! Great explanation as well
This is the best thing I’ve seen on CZcams in a while. Good job man.
now she has turbo to win all the races
Jake Robeck electric cars don’t have turbos
starts at 12 volt-meh.
starts at 18 volt-warps through time.
Use a 12 volt battery
Lmao
Good job getting 390 subs
KvAt motor smokes internally welds from over-voltage conditions 💞😋
Y'all got to remember it was designed for 12....
Look up the actual specs for that electric motor... Then you can see what you can do to it.
Besides that you can always upgrade the motors
Watch till the end. This guy sucks at explaining (as do I) but he’s smart and got creative towards the end with the rest of his modifications. Awesome man thanks for the video
Man your daughter cracks me up, she straight handled the 18v like a boss.
Gave that girl some great memories! Great job!
2 thumbs up!!! one for being a cool dad and one for showing how to do this.
Brill! She handled the turns like a pro. Well done Dad!
Dad of the year award goes to this guy.
That things a real sleeper!!! I'd like to see some kids face when he lines up with your daughter in his little power wheels comaro
You want traction? Look for traction with hard rubber grommets. The type with washers built in.
Known as OD washers They are screwed on to the hard plastic wheels. No Slipping or skidding after you place them evenly along the plastic wheel. Use a hex screw with a power drill...
Go no further than your neighborhood Army surplus stores. They have them cheap by the pound.
If you don't have one of those where you live.
Try the sport section and look for baseball/ softball molded cleat set at these sellers: K-mart , Sears, Target, and (UGH) Wallmart.
Phantanos yuck. N
Phantanos electric tape
Phantanos
thanks perfect video was exactly what i was looking for
Wish you made this video 10 years ago when my girl was that age. Lol she really knows how to drive that thing. Love the ramp jump. Awsome job.
father of the year. awesome stuff!!
best dad ever
Im 5.11 and 195lbs but i want a power wheel now
Same dudw
I am 6'0 and 165 lbs and same
He wants a pink one, just like in the vid
@avcustomhandyman
do you run it through an inline fuse when you bump it up to 18v?
Faster is better. Great video! !
HAHAHA that Jeep was flying !! LOL ... Thank you for the How to info.
don't know how I stumbled on this....but that peace sign she gave before she took off.... you're doing it right.....
Thanks brother I have a escalade that needs these mods, especially the tire ones. Great video
Looks awesome haha. But those front tires under some stress with that extra turning radius looks like they are going to break in the future thats for sure.
great job. not sure how long ago you made this, but did the motor hold up?
My wife is going the hate me for doing it but my daughter will absolutely love it! Awesome dude.
I did this with my daughters Power wheel range rover and 4 wheeler. The 4 wheeler I converted to 12 volts from 6 volts and I had to put homemade wheelie bar because it dropped the kids lol it's holding the upgraded voltage.

Chevy LS motor swap for that car should be the next video.
Awesome! That’s some cool Dad stuff right there. Looks like she’s having a blast. Great job.

"JUMP" just to clarify its called hooking up the batteries in Series ....
Crash Weekly yeah jumping would be hooking in parallel

Your test driver is awesome!! Great job!
Dang 18 volts was awesome!
Enough internet for today
Raf Orr no in
indeed.
THIS IS THE BEST!!!!! I WISH I WOULD HAVE KNOWN ABO0UT THIS WHEN MY NENAS WERE YOUNG!!! Great and fun info!! Good job !
Do these modifications work on the quads?
And how do you make the kill switch?
love it. you should help others with this. make a couple o bux, and a hole lot of kids so much happier.
thats a good dad right there
Faster is better! Great video thanks for the upload and that little girl drives better then most on my morning commute haha.
The yard is like Barbie jeep tuff truck course, very awesome thanks Dad!!!
Cool idea. Just feel bad that the girl is just doing small circles enclosed in a chain link fence. Open it up and let her drive down the street or to a park
YA JUST LET YOUR 5 YEAR OLD DRIVE DOWN THE MAIN ROAD WITH THE OTHER CARS.
Matt Arbon I did that when I was 5, my street was set up decently for it though
Just imagine 20v

Hell yea, good job bro, I just modified my little boys car.. From 12v to 20v using a power drill battery. he loves it!! Good video bro!!
Ha. No clue how this ended up in my recomendation videos....made my xmas seein that lil girl bout shit her pants when it took off on hi. I had one of those 4wheeler powerwheels when i was little....wish i had someone able to do this to mine. Still,good memories even without. Happy holidays.
Your rad man , that's way better
Man, that was cool. Have to mod my nephews when he gets one
Cheers for the video, what glue did you use for the tyres?
Xzibit has really hit rock bottom....jk 😁
It went from a sorry... 5.0 mustang engine, to a 6.5L HEMI SRT8 JEEP haha
A 6.5 liter hemi huh? Interesting... Thought they were made with 6.1's in the older gens and 6.4's in the newer gen ones. But hey you seem to be the automotive genius here.
Must be thinking a hemi can beat a 5.0
huh 6.5? new thing?
6.5 you must the old gm diesel? Also, you near ky. Ill gap ya hemi in my 5.0
Josh Huntley 😂😂😂😂😂😂 no words
Sweet video man... 😃 hope she likes it for years to come.
great job colin. You sure love your cars

>Understeer has nothing to do with traction loss
oh_u.png
Do yourself a favor and google what understeering is tyler
***** yeah ill get right on that
tyler bonser under steer is not having traction. not enough traction to over come the inertia of the weight wanting to go straight
When you like modding cars but your broke af
HALA MADRID you're
Only thing that matters is that little girl's happiness, who cares about your opinion. You're probably spiritually broke! Lol sadness.
Power wheels aren't exactly cheap. I bet he's done something to his car, and home. People who like to work with their hands usually can't stay still.
Great job Dad! Loved the video
Great job dude! Your daughter is going to be a great driver when she gets older! LOL thank you for sharing that with us
Your daughter is so cool!!
All it needs now are 22's haha
44s
What size Power Wheels Jeep is that please?
Thank you Sr I'll be doing some work this weekend
At 18 volts i let out the most childlike dad-giggle. My wife heard me laughing and said "Whatever that is you're NOT allowed to do it."
daddy need to get her a HELMET...
Nizam Iskandar what's the anime
Joe Churchill sword art online
Non Ofyourbuisness lol
She hes seatbelt on.. Its a jeep not a bike.. Daddy doing everything right
Faster is better mayne
Bet she loves it!! Good work brother!
Amazing man... your daughter must love it... thanks for sharing this information. Awesome!!!!
Man, this guy should work for Ford and fix their shitty mustangs
Ok...but holy shit i was not expecting that toy car to take off like that...
True
Those batteries are too heavy bro. I built my kids a 20 cell 12V lithium battery for their normally 6V power wheel Lil' Quad and changed the motor and gearbox to a higher rpm
6/12V unit and this thing hauls. The lithium battery is alot lighter
weight than the factory acid battery so that alone makes it faster. It
runs all day long without heating up or running down and it's so fast
that when I take them around the block I have to run the entire time to
keep up with it. It carries my 2 and 3 year old kids together with no
problem, combined the kid's weight is 75 lbs.
Where did you get your unit upgrade? And do you have a video.
So much talk make a vid on it
Best instruction ever! Awesome video
Im doing this tomorrow after work. Thanks bro.
18v helmet required...
Bad ass but I would give my daughter a helmet with that mod
How long did the motors last with the 18v set up before they had to be replaced?
Excellent 👍 the kill switch is tops. I definitely could use that when I have my kids and their Jeep.
