After juicing the battery up with the Bosch power adapter, we were having massive slipping on the Jeep my son was driving. So I took an old set of mountain bike tires and cut them up and installed them onto the PowerWheels plastic wheels to give it some real grip!

Awesome video love it! I’ve always wondered why on earth these powerwheels have plastic tires. They’re crack and work terribly. Love this video ❤

@HandcraftedbyChrisPalmer 4 месяца назад

Thanks so much for the positive feedback! I thought the same thing, plastic wheels are useless!

@louiev2140 Месяц назад

They actually put the plastic wheels on purpose. If you add more traction, it will wear out the gearing a lot faster.

Tightly wrap tape or small ratchet straps to apply pressure while glueing. Install adjustable voltage regulator between battery and motor. Lower voltage slower, higher voltage will go faster but could burn up motor. Then let them rip 👍

@HandcraftedbyChrisPalmer 4 месяца назад

I use the fuse to prevent the motor from blowing, seems to be good, 3 years running!

So how long (minutes) does the Jeep Run on the drill pack?

@HandcraftedbyChrisPalmer 2 года назад

Pending size of battery. 2 Ah goes 20 min and 4 Ah they usually clear 30 depending on how hard they drive

@Mike_Greene 2 года назад

I'm glad to see it pop wheelies so I want to know did they survive drifting and skids? I'm thing too ad traction to razor ground force drifter wheels and tried stapling t treads on but when I tested the wheels by holding the kart and letting the tires skid for a minute, one by t one, each tread flew off, one of them splitting in half. I did want to try a nail gun and small nails but really don't want to ruin the wheels to bad

@HandcraftedbyChrisPalmer 2 года назад

The treads have lasted a year and still going! Works awesome! Good luck!

Only the back tires is need it? How long does it ride? Didnt brake? Ty

@HandcraftedbyChrisPalmer Год назад

Yes back tires as they are the ones that drive the jeep. If it had 4 wheel drive, than I'd do all 4 tires.

Does it matter if I get a 12volt vehicle vs a 24 volt version if I’m gonna upgrade the battery regardless? I wanna get my son one of these.

@HandcraftedbyChrisPalmer 11 месяцев назад

If you buy 12V you can upgrade to 18v but if it's 24v you'll be downgrading unless you Amp it up 40V

How do you think bed liner would work? Would that provide enough traction?

@HandcraftedbyChrisPalmer 6 месяцев назад

That would be interesting, how the bond would hold up to the plastic, give it a go!

@timhoerner4731 8 часов назад

Did you try the bed liner material yet? I assume you mean the spray-on product?

@Rockoblocko 7 часов назад

@@timhoerner4731 the roll on product goes on thicker. It holds up, but I think that rubber is a better solution, even if it’s not as good looking. But looks rugged and badass with the roll on liner.
