Will these 24v gearboxes work with a 18v milwaukee battery?
Yes they will work but they might be slightly slower because they are 18 volts.
No one smokes anymore so not necessary 😊
Have to have my car charger!
just use ASA and you are good
I haven't tried ASA yet but ABS Glass fiber works great!
Who TF says that lol?
Lots of people say 3d printers don’t have a practical use, especially in automotive.
I 3d printed a shifter knob that was going to cost one of my employees 120$ to buy from the dealer. I printed the bottom in asa, and the top ring in ninjafllex tpu, he could not have been more happy. He still uses it to this day.
That sounds awesome!
Bugatti literally used 3d printed brake callipers
Wow I wonder what type of 3d printer that was?
3D Printing doesn't have a place in your butt 😂 Now prove it wrong 😂
@@MerlinJuergens That’s ok, you win!
3d printing is the goat
Having consumer grade 3d printers that are as quality as they are for the price is awesome!
Bro you can 3D print a whole car
One piece at a time!
Great job especially if this your first print!!
@@terror6190 thank you for the support!
I work in an auto manufacturing plant and we use 3d printers to make fixtures and jigs allll the time.
Do you guys use Bambu labs at all? Or only industrial grade printers?
@wackyengineering to be honest, I don't jnow off the top of my head which ones they use. They have a few different fdm and resin printers.
@@Regulareverydaynormalguy1 ok I was just curious!
@@wackyengineeringwe use both Bambulab machines and formlabs, formlabs is more accurate so we use it more but bambu is good for single use fixtures, I work in automotive machining parts and we use fixtures to check parts on the cmm if it's got unique geometry that's hard to measure on flat surface
What's the highest hours on one of your Bambulabs machines?
That and prototyping for car mods. To the average shmo
Prototyping options are endless!
hahaha i get your point, but in general i am not super impressed by the "plastic" 3d printers, they have its use that for sure as in this case. i just wait for those who can print different types of metals to replace heavy parts lie a Wishbone, or manifold to exhaust systems :)
I can't wait for the prices to come down on printers that are capable of doing that!
My grandad was a clay modeler at ford dunton in england . 3d printers where used there back in the 70s before public where aware . So yeah 3d printing is completely automotive 👍
That's very cool!
Waiting for the comments be like: "plastic do melty"
That is correct, for some reason more and more parts in the engine compartment on vehicles are made from various plastics..
@@wackyengineeringyes in an aspect the commenters are correct, from looks of it ur using pla which has low melting temp, ideally minimum you should use is petg but ideally abs or Asa :)
You are correct, I printed it in PLA to mock it up. I reprinted it in Glass fiber ABS for longevity! I just didn't have time to show that in the short!
as a car guy, as soon as i first saw 3d printing i thought two things, can i print metal (now we can!) and 2, the amount of body kits and interior parts that can reproduced!!!
@@jonmiller3996 they are very useful
3d printing has a place in every industry
@@ramonburgos2251 for sure!
That’s awesome!
Thanks for the support!
My Waitley serves the heavy hitter hammer drill (999) extremely well! Even locked up its chuck with it due to excessive torque coming out of the battery! Not to mention the hammer function as well. I was trying to dig a hole in my backyard with an auger bit. Dunno, I'm not a professional in the trades but purchases a bit higher grade tools for me due to the false belief that says "At least I need to have a good tool to blame myself when it all goes south.' At least, they are serving me without problem way more than 90 days so far, not only for drills and saws but also outdoor power tools, chainsaw, pruning pole chain saw, trimmer, etc. They are B+D and Ryobi (with adapters.) Those Waitleys are still better performing than their 'included' authentic batteries. =D
@@taylorshin That’s good to hear! We have had good luck so far!
Nice!
Thank you!
tutorial on installing sound engine boss
Sound engine?
@@wackyengineering yes
Hello, I would like to see how you did the wiring of the generator and the one to power the devices
We have a full length video that shows the wiring, check it out!
@@wackyengineering I saw the video but it’s not really detailed. Thank you very much And another question if you allow me, Your alternator generates AC or DC
It is 12vdc.
@@wackyengineering Ah okay I thought it should generate Ac At home the problem is that when I pedal the voltage that comes out of the alternator is the same as that of the battery it does not vary is it a problem?
@@christianmatadi1062 You can use an inverter to change the voltage to 120 vac to use household items.
24 volt motor and 40watt of power?
24 volt motors, I think each motor is over 100 watt max. In this video we used a 20v battery but we put a 40v battery in a different video later on!
Idk why ppl think you can just put a higher voltage battery and call it a day. You need to add new motors to handle the 18v/24v. These stock motor are rated for 12v. Sure you can add 18v/24v battery but after a while it will burn out. Smh
We have had pretty good luck with the motors. They are also very easy and fairly cheap to replace. We have also upgraded to 24v motors but they don't run as fast. Thanks for the input!
@@johnrambo1349 the stock 12 volt motor and gears can handle 18v and 20 volts. It’s when you get up to 24 volts that the motors burn out quickly and the gears break.
I bought 4 Waitley's in the Makita platform August of last year with the intent of running them in my outdoor power equipment (OPE). Sadly the Waitley's have an only slightly larger profile and won't fit my chain saw at all, and require modifications to the string trimmer piwerhead that I am just not willing to perform. So. What to do? I have some off-brand auxiliary lights that use the Makita platform. Perfect, I thought. Well, they were. They perfectly mimicked the life and performance of the branded Makita 5ah batteries. While the Waitley's were 6ah...for the price, I'll cut them some slack. I recently decided to upgrade my RV lighting to LED. Bought a four pack of 1700 lumen overhead lights. Installed two. Thought to myself 'hmm, what to do now?' Got this harebrained idea to buy a power source clip and use the Waitley's to power the RV lights. The power source clips just clip onto the battery like a normal tool install. The RV lights are rated for use with 12-24VDC. To my utter amazement it works like a dream. So, not only do I have two auxiliary lights for the RV, I also have work lights that are better and brighter than any if the four I have tried on Amazon for my battery platform. Try installing laminated hardwood flooring in a new construction house...in a closet... with no lights. Not anymore😅.
Good deal! We have been thoroughly impressed with the Waitley batteries, especially for the price!
Do you have any broken electric scooters/bikes that I could have so I can fix them
Sorry we do not.
Do you have any broken electric scooters/ bikes that you are willing to give me or even some electric parts? Thanks.
Sorry, no
So how does the 3 phase motor start up off of single phase start up? I heard of 3 phase motors staying running when a phase is a lost if the load is less than 66% just not sure how your getting the motor to start. Just recently learned how 3 phase ac works. kinda.
The variable frequency drive (vfd) used on this project takes in single phase power at 240 volts and then outputs 240 volts across 3 phases. Most VFD's have three phase input but they do make some smaller ones that will take in single phase. Thanks for watching!
Same power wheels here and the motor fried, it ripped until it burned out though had trouble keeping the front end on the ground.
Yea they have some serious power with 20 volts!
Its a deere were not impressed...with your wiring or mechanical ability. Less money, better bang, and my child gets a tour of a machine shop and an education on why plastic and 20 volt upgrades don't work. You taught your kid daddy fixes everything half ass. Either that or shit melts in the rain 😂
Thanks for watching!
Boy was the 12v Motor on the 20v much faster but they did burn 🔥 up so I went for the 24v motor. Great info.
Awesome, and Thank you!
I made the changes but the racer runs slower than it did with the 12v parts. 20v battery fully charged. Any idea why this may be the case? Any suggestion is appreciated - awesome video
Yes we explained that a little bit in the video but probably not in enough detail. The newer motors are rated for 24v and will run about the same as stock motors and gearboxes with 24v supplied to them. In another video we 3d printed a Black and Decker 40v battery adapter and put it in the upgraded dune racer and it runs really fast now! The parts should be linked in the Black and Decker video description.
@@wackyengineeringgot it. Thank you!
No problem!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 cool !
Thank you!
Thats awesome!
Thanks!
Thanks for the review! It was very helpful
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you!!!❤️
You’re welcome!
Or just buy a 250$ printer and learn CAD in 1 day like a normal person
Darn if only I had known there was an easier and cheaper option 🤦🏼
...6 weeks? 😐
We're not all rockstars... But in all seriousness someone with zero CAD experience might take some time to learn it.
or you could buy a case with a stand
If only we hadn't already spent all the time and money to build this one... 🤦🏼
A scary accurate description of my life
Glad we can relate!
I made one for my cell phone
3d printers are handy for items like that!
Tinkercad is free tho
I started with Tinkercad. Fusion 360 has a free license with limitations on some of the features and a limit of 10 active projects at one time. Once you learn it you'll never go back.
What an inspiring video. I will create my kindle stand in a year once I have $1500 and a comprehensive understanding of fusion 360
That's the spirit!
This has change my entire life
That was the intent!
pops up on my feed as my tank begins its upgrades. well played. 😏🤔🐶
TH-cam at its finest!
Im running a 24v motor with 2 20v battery on it kids been beating on it for over 3 months now.
No way and that's holding up on the stock controller as well?
Are the batteries in series or parallel?
@@wackyengineering series, but have to put a 24v motor in there because the 12v wont be able to handle 40v.
@@CA-RC im using a controller from fast scooters(ebay) from the mx350. I could make a video if needed.
Sounds cool! We may have to do something similar once the kids get bored of this one.
u forgot the to add the 30amp fuse to protect the wire
Fuses are for quitters! In all seriousness a fuse is necessary and typically any upgrade we do is fused appropriately.
Great video! Any updates?
The stock motor controller is still holding up just fine! We have put about 8 hours of ride time since the battery upgrade!
I just found the exact power wheels on the side of the road and put a drill battery on it for my nephew
Nice!
How are these motors and gearboxes holding up?
The motors and gearboxes held up fine until we put the 40v battery on it, then it lasted about 6 hours. One of the motors burned up.
