Is it possible to put the potentiometer on the polarity switch so that reverse speed is limited but forward isn't?
Nice video, BTW, I'm definitely making mods because of this video. Thanks!
Not possible.
@@AlexMatusov Worth a shot. Thanks. I'm also adding the battery meter from your other video. Good stuff.
Those lights are for a normal 12v system, and the quad 500 is 36v. Did that cause any problems or require anything special when connecting?
No problems so far and no special wiring. It does get incredibly bright, I wonder if that's from the extra power..
Trying to wire up my razor quad 500 help send link to wire
Question sir, When you installed the speed adjuster, did the maximum speed increased at all? Currently without it I'm getting 9mph, what are you getting on yours?
No, the speed has not increased. The only way that I'm aware of getting more speed is to get a new controller and/or increase the wattage by adding more batteries (conversion to 48v).
I have. A quick quest. How you reverse on a quad razor 500
You need to manually add a reverse polarity switch by tapping into two wires from the motor.
Hello where can I find a video how to install the reverse switch? Thanks
There is no video for that. You have to use your man skills and figure it out.
Got one for my grandson. Can you post links to the parts/instructions for the upgrades you did?
Hey Butch - the parts are already in the description.
As far as the instructions, it's kind of hard as I sort of figured things out on my own. I can give it a shot explaining.
For the potentiometer speed governor, you have to locate the throttle wires (green and white) and pull them out of the bracket and do a bypass to the switch.
Lights were a simple tap into any red and black connection. The switch is optional but if you want it run in on the red wire.
To add reverse, you need to tap into the two wires that are coming out of the motor. Locate the bracket and remove the wires and hook in the switch. You also need to cut a hole on the top panel.
Good luck!
Alex
@@AlexMatusov Thanks for the reply.Your upgrades look well installed. I'll give it a shot.
@@AlexMatusov the speed governor you have. The link to has 3 wires I believe how did you wire that in?
@@willgerber454 if I recall the three wires are positive negative and ground. I just used positive and negative.
@@AlexMatusov ok, I see the green wire coming from the throttle and goes to a connector that tires to a white wire. So tap into that and also tap into the black (ground) for speed limiter?
What switch did you buy for the forward and reverse switch Latching or A-Momentary ?
I bought the Latching switch as it only needs to be pressed once for forward or reverse. Momentary would not work in this use case it only passes the current while being compressed by the user...
Does the switch blow out? I have to keep changing my switch.
@@romanvoronin8404 mine did blow out once. I got a more rugged one that's water proof. So far so good.
@@AlexMatusov can you share a link? ive gone through a couple different brands an my son keeps blowing them

I saw that you bought the 10k Potentiometer would it hurt to buy the 20k? I’m running 20v dewalt battery upgrade in series to get the 40v power
Thx
I don't imagine it would hurt. The 20k pot will introduce 2 times the resistance.
My son is only 2 so I’m trying to make it slow enough where I’d safe but also have it ready as he gets older
So the 20k will make it twice as slower as the 10k? Not familiar with this stuff
Thx
@@BACHATAHOLIC2003from what I understand it doesn't make it slower or faster. Instead, think of it as it applies resistance to the length of the turn of the circular switch. So for instance imagine with a 10k it takes 1 full turn to go from 0-100% with a 20k theoretically it should take 2 full turns to go from 0-100%.
I think I get it…… the top speed would remain the same but the 20k would give me even more control on choosing a speed I’m comfortable with my 2 year old
I bought all three lol…… but I think I’ll try the 20k first
Currently it goes around 12mph and it’s way too much for him. It’s thrown him off three times; luckily I’m always right behind him even trying things out and I caught him, nothing more than some adrenaline. When it was completely stock he loved it and I was was comfortable with him riding on his own so I just want to temporarily slow it down until he understand throttle control etc
Thx
Is there a diagram online for the speed pot?
Just google for potentiometer diagram
Were you buy the light ?

Hi how were you able to make the reverse switch?
You need to buy a reverse polarity switch and tap into red and black wires from the motor. Very easy.
@@AlexMatusov I bought the same switch as you. Do you have photos of how you wired it? Maybe I’m over thinking it but not sure which to wire each one too.
@@derekschroeder2838 unfortunately i don't have any photos. I think you are definitely overthinking it. Just locate the wire coming from the back motor and hook in the switch in. As I recall I did make a couple of extensions just to make sure I had enough slack. watch this for more inof czcams.com/video/PoqTNxCDUGg/video.html&ab_channel=VOG
@@AlexMatusov thank you, so did you just add the switch or replace the original on/off switch with the reverse polarity switch?
@@derekschroeder2838 I left the power switch and added the new switch. I didn't want to add any potential power drain. But, it's probably redundant.
Where did you get the reverse switch?

Thank you for the reply just got the switches in now I need to wire them in. I’m a little confused on how to wire them in. do you have any wire diagrams on how to wire the reverse switch and the speed limiter switch? Or possibly a video of how?
@@willgerber454 use this diagram as reference for the reverse switch: aws1.discourse-cdn.com/digikey/original/2X/2/29d728931bc82f9a414493e2e7c9c07dbea32986.jpeg
@@AlexMatusov awesome looks straight forward, how about the speed switch it has 3 wires , red black and yellow ?!?
@@AlexMatusov can you post the link again
That girl needs manners....
Wow I can’t believe you just said that! That girl is excited to show off her quad!
What a bully
Wow...
Your kids seen very happy and bright sir, keep up the amazing work
