  • In this video we will go over the common issues these Power Wheels style ride-on toys can have. I will show you how to diagnose a number of electrical issues and how to fit rubber or tread to the plastic wheels for more grip on grass and concrete

    Christmas at the D and E house: “Here you go kids. It might even run.”
    My bet is that in a few years D and E will get his daughter’s prom dress from a pile by the road. 😁😁

      @@DEInTheGarageI’ve dated a lot of women with father issues I highly recommend you don’t go cheep on the prom dress. Truly cheeper than a therapist or rehab

    Check your local landfill, too. I work at a landfill and people drop them off almost every day. We have a no salvageing rule, it's mainly for the scrap metal and electronics, but we let people take them.

    Sir, I am sorry to say I am one of those guys the glamour Dad as we may put it, but I do not just glamour as in put lights in it or digital voltmeter on there. I go as far as giving it more horsepower I do have to say my kids did love it I bow my head in shame for that 😂 what put in Weedwhacker engines or something along those lines in one of those things is quite fun

    maybe a heatgun to the plastics might restore some of the color on them

    Grate video. I am with you those things are expensive (new). Bought my kid about 6 of them but all used, around 10-20 bucks each, they looked like new but all needed batteries, tires, or switches going bad. For the tires did the same thing and put bike tires from Wallyworld but I was afraid if I used screws they would come out in the yard or in the driveway and puncture a car tire so, went to Harbor Freight and bought some sheepo rivet packs and used to rivets to secure the tires, non of the rivets have come out so far. For the battery have Dewalt 20v tools at home, so I did buy the adapters on Amazon, and they did have 14awg wire so no issues there. I also bought the (DC Motor Speed Controller for Power Wheel PWM) from Amazon since my kid was 2 when he started driving, the full 20v was too much for the small kido. Using the speed controller I could dial him down to about 1mph until he got the hang of it and slowly increased his speed as he has gotten older. I imagine once his around 5 I will that it out the speed controller.

    Did you see the two women who are driving kids battery powered cars from Jax Florida to Key West for a Gunnies World record ?? They want to do over 500 miles in one and they are already over 100 miles in.
