Silverado Speed Controller Upgrade (12v-50v) 

The link doesn't work. You have any model number s?

Ahh thanks for letting me know. I’ll have to find another active link. Yes the speed controller is still running strong on 20v dewalt battery now.

Yeah that’s the only downside. It’s okay on 12v because there isn’t much momentum. Now at higher voltage, not good

Thanks for watching 🏁

Giant Giant thanks, I did add a 30amp inline fuse and it has held so far. I agree it definitely needs a failsafe. So far the wires haven’t been an issue but I would like to upgrade them regardless 🏁

Cure Cycling Service it will eventually 😂🏁

30 amp

Thanks

@@chuckfaisst1890 no problem

Nevermind. I'm dumb. Realized you took yours apart so I wouldn't have to take mine apart. Ty for your awesome tutorial!

Still working great but still running on 12v agm battery

It was originally 12v.

I’m using the factory motors on 12v (13.5v on full charge) no issues at all.

@@RaztechPowersports thank you so so much for your reply. It was a typo from my side. I meant à link to the speed controller.... I do not intend to replace the stock motors as well. I have been spending 3 hours trying to find a suitable one on Amazon (I am in Belgium and searching on Amazon.fr). I found this one...do you think it will.work ? www.amazon.fr/dp/B073S3P1FY/ref=cm_sw_r_wa_apa_i_H34FNXHSRKQGZZKMGYJZ?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 I want an on off switch and the possibility to go reverse and use the throttle. I read that the stock motors on my ride are 24v 350w brushed motors. Just not sure what esc to get. Do not mind spending more (so I can add rear lights...)

There is not an easy way to do this. I know there is a certain soft start chip you can eliminate on other electric speed controllers. Do some research on that 🔧⚡️

The voltage really controls the speed. On 20v dewalt lithium batteries… it flies lol

Sorry but it gives you a good starting point! You got this 💪🏻🛠

Hmmm no mine has been fine

@@RaztechPowersports it's seems there are difference between resistance on hall sensor and potentiometer. I know asking a lot but if you will be able to check what's inside of pedal there where you take one spring. Is there hall sensor or linear potentiometer if hall than what number.

Much faster. I’m currently running a 20v Dewalt 5ah and it rips. Driving offroad does tend to drain the lipo pretty quick. Onroad is perfect

It doesn’t unfortunately. That’s the only drawback

Hmmm that’s strange.. I never had that issue

Hey you solve the problem? I have the same issue...

No i didn’t actually. I think it would be safe to wire off of the trigger wire if it’s 12v

Josh Sicking www.ebay.com/itm/182889907416. It’s a little pricey but a good speed control for future mods

@@RaztechPowersports thank you so much. Just had this same thing happen 2 days ago. Kids are going crazy wanting to ride it so I rigged it up with a cheap speed controller off of a potentiometer knob. I don't like the idea of no pedal. Just ordered this and I love how it'll support more power.

Josh Sicking no problem, yeah if you understand electronic, which you sound like you do.. it’s a pretty cool speed controller. I have it setup on a single 12v deep cycle boat battery for now, comical range even offroad. Waiting for the motors to fry and then the mods begin lol

Well now it runs on 20 V DeWalt lithium batteries

I would do with this speed control over an Rc version. Much more heavy duty. I don’t have the exact link but they are all over eBay for 80ish bucks with the gas pedal. Still runs great btw

@@sandyx4522 they are also available on eBay

I included a link in the description 👍🏻

Yes but by a small amount. More voltage will equal more speed

Iv done this with 2 18v batterys works great 👍

I'm having the exact same issue, did you happen to find out a solution to the problem?

I haven't yet I'm still looking for help

Yes, I believe it’s in the description

Add no voltage going to the motors

@@RaztechPowersports Sorry, I'm not great on knowing this kind of stuff. We have this same pickup and it turns on, but when pushing the petal it won't go. I was thinking a petal issue? My husband thinks we just need a new battery.

@@emilykinney9256 does the voltage meter still work on the dash? Would be a easy way to determine if it needs a battery

Yes I believe they have versions of this speed controller with a twist throttle

How many amps does it kick out on 36 volts?

Sorry my bad it's for a brush 2 phase motor not a brushless 3 phase

Ahhh sorry I’ll try to update it tonight. Just upgrade to 20v and still running strong

When will you get the update? thank you so much
