Good job dad, getting Ely wrenching on his 4 wheeler at a young age, I did the same with my son 25 years ago. He now has a 72 chevelle with a 468 bib block. Oh and great job on the conversion.
@@experiencetheoutdoors4867 Doing the same to my kids tractor. I figure when the motor burns up I'll just buy another motor. Replacement motors are like 20 dollars on amazon. Did you end up fixing it or throwing it away?
I have a few questions/comments: 1. How long are you getting per charge? My old Dewalt 18v battery has a 6Ah rating which is half the Ah of my son's Peg Perego Gator (12v, 12Ah). But now I've seen multiple RU-vid videos saying the Milwaukee or Dewalt batteries last longer. I don't even mind if the run time isn't better if I'm getting quicker recharges and faster speeds. 2. Does the battery adapter have a circuit breaker built in? If not, where would you wire one in? (I realize you may not know but someone else reading this might). The breaker seems important given all the potential for jostling and moisture. 3. Another video showed adding a resistor as a way to lessen the torque on the gears caused by the starting/stopping with all that extra juice. They called is their ABS system. Not sure if this would be enough for a 14v increase like yours (I think they went from 12v to 18v which is what I am considering). 4. You're an awesome Dad, not just for the quad mod, but for including your son in the process and being so patient. *My* Eli has outgrown his ride-on but his little brother is more than happy to take over at the wheel now.
They dont last longer. maybe if they only drive around on low gear... it's mostly RECHARGING TIME. I got a 12V converted it to 24V..I bypass the Thernal FUSE simply by wraping 12 gauge wire around the fuse a couple of times and pressed it back into the slot. The Peg Perego 550 motors are LONGER than Powerwheels. You CANT use 24v on powerwheels..the motors and GEARs cant handle it. I get kid's ride on cars for dirt cheap on F.B. ( have over 12)...I fix it for my grand kids....The FASTEST so far..is the MOTION TRENDZ ATV on 24V..( the one with a SPRING shock in the REAR. ( it has different bodies..but the chassis are the same) it'll asborb the torque..i havnt had any problems with it on 24V...4 -6 year old. driving it EVERYWHERE...Up hill on grass..ect Everything is STOCK except 2-ea 12V lead acid around 12 mph 40-60Lb kids. ( I LET THEM DO it..becuase I got cars for only $5-$20-ea). They can ride it for over an hour ( 9ah or 12ah). The batteries and 24 chargers from RAZOR sooters ( I also get for cheap) I'll also use an OLD 12V ( stupid) car battery charger..to balance the batteries every so often... I run 5s 18V LIPO...at 50C 5000 Mah ( it has more DISCHARGE than 18650 lion at 20C...I get around 10-12 min tops..a pop. ( 8-10mph) The motors get hot. I'll simply switch cars for the kids.lol They ride mostly the ATV now....I can take them to the park without carrying extra LIPO. ( 2-3 miles.lol)...I just have to charge it overnite for them. Alot if it is...just Battery RECHARGING Managing ..I have lots of grand kids. I invested in over $300 ( 5-sets of lipo and 4-ea lipo hobbie chargers). THE BATTERIES and charger is where the money is at...Once you have those...cars are cheap to get. I have a 2 year old..she's on 5s LIPO on a corvett or lighting (powerwheels)...lmao..i had her on 4s on a smaller car 3 months ago.lol She was barely stronge enough turn the wheels ( I had to chase her all the time.lmao )..she can do power slide and drive like the rest of the kids now. I did the samething for my grandson when he was 18 months...12v. Some kids lear faster than others ...drive more agressive than other.lmao
Hi sir, my sons car has 4 motors on 4 wheels.... it’s a beast! It’s has 2 of the batteries yiu show in your video. I hope I explain this correctly but there’s a jumper from positive to negative between the two. Then there’s one negative going out and one positive going out. When it starts, I think the display shows 27-28V. Do I need two adapters and two dewalt batteries? Hook it up similar with a jumper between the adapters? We actually bought it from overseas, it’s not a hot wheels. It has leather seats, blue tooth, radio, lights......it’s amazing. The batteries didn’t last a year.
Hi, how long do each of the dewalt lithium batteries last now? No problems with motor or gearbox? Can’t seem to find the light buddy either. Great job on the Atv!
Hi we have a 6V John Deere Peg Perego, my son loves it, he drives around filling low spots in the lawn 😁 anyway. I've tried it with the 12V from our power wheels and it's so much better. But I'm concerned it may burn up the little motor. I've bought 6 more 6V batteries and even brand new they're terrible he gets 10 minutes out of it. Did you have any trouble with running the higher voltage? I'm thinking about just batching all 6 of these as a 12V block..
I'm working on one now..I've learned that if you add the esc controller it'll help that little 6 volt motor out it helps controll how much power is actually being used
I have a 12 volt fiat 500. What should I do to increase it to 18 or 24 volts? What should I change the battery only? Isn't it that the other components are burned ??? ho una fiat 500 a 12 volt. Cosa devo fare per incrementarla a 18 o 24volt? Cosa devo cambiare solo la batteria? Non è che si bruciano gli altri componenti ???
Hi there I’ve tried looking for that deluxe light buddy online and it doesn’t seem to exist or I just can’t find something like that. Do you mind sharing more on it???
@@experiencetheoutdoors4867 I found some old photos in a search that were from a KC Innovations website and they had a Makita adapter, but that website no longer exists...
Hello! We were just gifted an older Barbie 6v ATV. I have previously modded a 12v Barbie Jeep but I am wondering if I complete the same modification, if the 20v Dewalt is too much power. Can you confirm?
did you deactivate lighting? because i think there's a problem when my lighting heats up for a couple of minutes and i smell a little burning. please help, thanks
@@experiencetheoutdoors4867 Isn't it the lighting is designed for 12v only? so if you make higher voltage in battery, the lighting heats up/burns. did you changed its wiring from the stock set-up? hmmm.. i wonder why my lighting heats up and smells burnt a little. I upgraded battery from 12v to 20v and put 30A fuse connected to positive terminal-battery. I really appreciated your reply. a Million Thanks..
I dont know how to message you. I did this with my sons off brand 4 wheeler and the gas stays on when I plug the batter in . What do I need to do to fix it ?
