Hi Steve! Can I get a little more info, as I'd like to do the same - did you need a new speed controller too or just the 48V battery upgrade and charger?
@@siverson914 Hi Steve, I have a couple of the same quads for my 10 year old daughter and my 7 year old son. Lots of fun, but I would love to upgrade them on the speed and maybe the rear shock. To eliminate the guesswork would you be willing to share a link to the motor and speed controller? Was there a lot of custom work involved? Any info you could share would be greatly appreciated! Nice work!
Hi - just seach "1800w brushless motor" on Ebay and it comes up. Lots of sellers with nearly identical products. It was ~$150 for motor, speed controller, and throttle. But, yes, it was a bit custom to get it to work. The primary difference is the original motor has a built in gear box, so I had to add a jackshaft and extra chain to gear this motor down.
