Razor SX500 gets HUGE upgrade (72v 3000w Razor mod) 

Hey I was trying the link for the 72v 20 amp hour battery

But it didn’t work What do I so

Do

@@kennethrascon6414 UPDATE: the battery is no longer for sale :-/ looking for an alternative, sorry for the confusion everyone

I have been going through your sx500 vids and it inspired me to make my own so I cant wait to do that with this parts

that’s a great way to do it - coming from cars that’s exactly what I did. Fair warning, you’ll probably end up getting a surron. I did. Both amazing bikes in their own ways.

Better to just get a surron. After all the upgrades the cost becomes absurd. 72v high output battery 900+, motor $600+, controller. $400+, wheels/brakes/suspension, etc, another $1000. That's already $3k and it's without the donor bike. 3k will already get you a used surron.

@@DescartesRenegadeit’s faster than a sur ron

@@joeyb7084 faster is just one aspect. It's no where near as comfortable.

He replaced the controller because the one he uses in this video had a weird throttle

Where would you get those?

absolutely a death trap. The 11kw kit looks unreal. And fully agreed on brakes, this bike is waaaay different now haha

100% true, in my latest video I swapped for a KVD with great results

Hell yeah!! That's such a good idea keep me posted.

hahah thank you, I was really scared. I did get used to it, it's really not that bad on Mode 1 after a few days and a total blast to ride. I did end up upgrading the controller to something smoother + more powerful, so you'll see that video pop up some time next week :)

@@logan-taylor hell yeah man!!! I can't wait for the video!!! I seen the e&c kit but that $1600 price tag was a turn off for me. With the links you provided I'm roughly saving $400 - $600

@@brucewayne6858 WONDERFUL i’m so glad you saved some money, that was the big goal.

The reaction was so annoying and tedious

@@XbnsVvV unreal username. you win this round

I’ve seen some of his videos, great 48v content!

oh no!! I don’t have the wiring diagram for this controller anymore but it should come with your kit - shoot me a DM on IG @loganandrewtaylor i’ll do my best to help!

hahaha you’d flyyyy dude

@@logan-taylor yh and love your vids btw really affordable for a lot of power

@@williamcarignan5326 thanks bro!

ong i bought it on accidnet

Good call - simple and effective. I’ll give it a shot.

thanks g 🙏 I appreciate that

How fast does the one in the video go

Thanks so much man! And yes I’ve definitely heard that feedback before, noted :) Imho I think the cheap way is worth it for everything except the controller. And the full e&c kit is awesome, i’m jealous you got it.

What brand?

I mean overkill is literally ingrained into men’s DNA. This is what we live for.

for what it’s worth, the cheap controller makes it pretty hectic and fun. But yes, it was a temporary gap stop and an E&C tuned kelly is coming soon :)

i’m about 6’3” so it should work great!

do it!! The fun levels are unmatched

thanks so much! And thank you for letting me know, the vendors keep switching up on us: Key/volt meter: amzn.to/3UgJo7b Battery - it seems like they’re no longer selling the 20ah version but i’m not 100% sure that the 30ah version will fit!! Make sure to measure your battery tray first if you decide to go this route, as I can’t guarantee fit: amzn.to/3UDqR4u

@@logan-taylor Will do! Thanks so much man

i’m about 6’3”ish, we fit surprisingly well actually haha

It's good to hear your first hand experience -- I've been thinking more about going with the E&C tuned kelly controller for higher amperage + smoother takeoff. Was it a worthwhile upgrade?

@@logan-taylor personally I would say yes it was definitely worth it even though I’m already used to the way these China controllers behave haha it’s just nice having the extra torque and predictability!

@@highvoltfab alright you’ve convinced me, I’ll upgrade. Thanks for the info!

That Chinese controller last year year?

not sure if I 100% understand the question, but i’ve only been running the controller for a few weeks so not sure if it’ll last a year. I would assume it would though, and even if it didn’t it would be cheap to replace :)

i think i paid like 2 or 3 hundred for the bike off of FB marketplace! RSF’s are definitely more expensive to buy but totally a cool frame

Totally - it’s an expensive hobby. I tried to keep the cost as low as possible on this project for that reason!

hmm, i haven’t had any issues. Is your battery 72v or 60v? If they sent you a 60v, that might be max voltage?

one day…

I believe my budget for this entire build was like $800 (a lot) but if you did a 48v kit and battery, which would still get you 2000w, you could do it for MUCH less

@@logan-taylor how much slower?

@@Greenslimegaming11181 48v kit 25-30mph depending on weight

​@logan-taylor the battery linked is now 800$ lol like wtf I'm buy that kit

forgive me father

if you’re in the seattle area message me on IG! @loganandrewtaylor

Sounds like it - I ordered my throttle separately! Actually just got a new one from Electro & Co, the one in this video isn’t the greatest.

😳 check out my more recent videos on the bike I think you’ll like them better

I think you’d probably want to go for a 48v battery with a matching motor/controller - I don’t think there are any good 36v options, and the power upgrade just wouldn’t be enough fun :) Here’s a pretty affordable 48v 20ah option that should get you really good range: amzn.to/3CVZMEh 48v kits on these bikes are great, and with a 12 or 13 tooth front sprocket from Electro and Co he should be able to hit 30 no problem! Vevor makes a 48v kit similar to the 72v one I used - you can also find that on amazon and it’ll give you around 2kw which would be perfect for a younger rider.

i’ve always had trouble with the three modes, you’re not alone. If you could put some sort of resistor on a switch, you could hypothetically limit the voltage that the throttle sends to the controller when that switch is on? So full throttle would be like 2v instead of 5v, for example. That’s like a monkey brain idea but it would definitely reduce “twitchiness” in the throttle and make it safer for a youngster -

What 48v kit do you have?

hahaha the little one is fun though - but that’s precisely why i bought a surron as well :)

video motion? like the motion of the camera? I’ve toned it way down in recent videos, never even realized I moved the camera so much until someone pointed it out to me. sorry this one wasn’t too helpful for your project, it sounds cool :( hoping my future videos can help!

@@logan-taylor Yep, the hand-held parts and my tired, aging eyes/brain just hurt from it. Even the helmet video is okay for me. Sorry for the "suck" because your content's great if I can deal with the video motion. This is the first of your videos I recall, but I've subbed in hopes. Great work and good to learn from the static shots, LOL. Oh, and watching further, you're using a similar battery to the one we got today! 72V, 50AH, 80A BMS and it's the largest battery I've owned. (I've worked w/larger on ships, but they were lead acid. This thing scares me.) We're welding a casing to hold it into the GS500F frame this weekend. It's a hefty chunk 'o Li! The SM200SP controller and hub motor can handle much more, so this battery may move to a Honda Ruckus project sometime in 2023 or so. Thanks for the reply and I'm looking forward to more.

@@jameswyatt1304 keep me posted on that electric Ruckus, that’s a project i’ve always wanted to tackle since i was like 17 - sounds so fun.

i’m just over 6’3”! It’s small but surprisingly comfy for tall people

physically installing everything is pretty simple - it’s just some allen bolts basically. The wiring is pretty tricky and frustrating, but if you can find a plug-and-play kit it should be super easy. You got this!

that’s a great question - I can do a video on this, because the laws are a bit confusing. If you leave a Razor stock, it is legal to ride like a bike most places (but not all) but it depends on your state. That’s not legal advice, just what I’ve heard :)

@@logan-taylor thanks yea its hard to watch everyones videos of them haveing fun but never talk about the legal side about them cause it would be sick to ride them around where i live but i would just have to look up the laws about them in my state ig

Running a stock 11t in front, although on the hunt for a 13t to try it out -- such an easy thing to swap out, so I figure it's worth a shot! A kelly controller is 100% on the horizon now that my second round of upgrades are done :) (video coming this weekend). I was actually so curious what the best freewheel option was but couldn't find any information. Thanks so much, I really appreciate it! Speed drugs indeed. It's addictive.

@@logan-taylor Check out KruseN Stuff. He’s been messing with a lot of gearing. He just hit 55.3 on his MX650. With the ACS, you’ll first have to pop that cutting cherry; and remove the stock freewheel. Some people have been able to manhandle it with a lot of torque; but most hack it to death until surrender comes a’calling. You’ll also have to remove a small amount of material from the inner ring of the chain wheel. Completely worth the effort; and it definitely helps to make up for the last few generations’ lack of Hero’s journey. While you’re Doped up on Mod Balls, you might as well buy a 65t chainwheel. 55t is next level; but now you’re adding fans; check the_sharks_cove for his 3D printed fan shroud. Get 2 good 12v fans, and, if you haven’t already, spring for a buck converter, or just as good, a 110ac to 8A DC wall adapter (our Lord and Savior Bezos provides that as well). Works as good or better with 72v than the dedicated 72v to blah blah bucks. You’re gonna want to bedazzle that bish with lights, sirens… heated toilet seats. All’dat. Would you believe I’ve run my mouth this long, and still haven’t got my own SX done yet? I’m in ecstasy just learning about the circuits and rewiring throttles, fans, brakes, etc. ‘Twill be a sexy, Baby Moto, ‘doe; and as close to street legal as I can get. Gonna try to Manifest a Registration. I truly believe if we demand the Right to Ride Responsibly, we can send K’ren back in’na’house. Y’feel me? Ok. I’m exhausted.

You better let me ride this when I come to town in 3 weeks

@@willywonkastwin hahaha alright you got it.

MX500, MX650, and RSF650 all have the same motor mounts and are roughly the same size, just make sure the battery you choose fits in the battery tray of your bike!!

That's so that the bolt can sit flush with the motor, otherwise I think it interferes when you try to mount it to the bike!

thanks so much!! And i just kind of figured it out as I went along with wiring diagrams and stuff :) Other than wiring it’s basically just a couple of bolts!

that’s exactly my thought - I was thinking 13t so i can still have good torque for wheelies and stuff. Congrats on build #2, i’ll catch up with you soon!

@@logan-taylor yeah man no doubt. I also come from modding cars and drifting and stuff aswell. Cool to see someone making the same moves! I'm only 48v on my sx and managed to get 35mph out of it I'm more then sure you'll hit 42 at minimum

@@TURBOMOOSE that’s sick!!! it’s an easy transition, just fun motorized reckless stuff haha. I’ll order a sprocket from electro and co and see how i like it, thanks man.

100%, I swapped to a Kelly KVD in a video shortly after this and it made a world of difference - should have done that from the beginning.

What is the black thing you have in the battery that you heat up

What’s the black connector you have in the battery that you heat up it didn’t come with it
