Where did you get those motors that can handle 36v? I hooked up a 36v lithium battery in one of our power wheels dune racer and it immediately burned up the stock motors
If you don’t mind, how much would you charge for a setup like this in a power wheels Barbie Jeep? I’ve got the 18v Ryobi batteries and adapters but that’s it. I’d love to get my daughters jeep moving faster but don’t have the knowledge to put all that together
I came because I'm new to Power Wheels and doing this for a friend...I wired up 3 12v LiFEPO4 20AH batteries so the system is parallel when it's off for charging...and series when it's on for 36v (Just Over 40v at full float charge). Your potentiometer needs will be directly related to the minimum voltage of your controller and the maximum voltage of the system...if you've got a 24v controller on a 36v system, you'll need 300 Ohms (approximately) to achieve full usage of the potentiometer.
Thanks for the Video, it was very helpfull for my build. Would you please share which controller you used? Can't find a 36v with reverse, just 48v and 24v :(. Thanks!
I got the key and motor controler you linked to but the controller outputs seem to be different than the video. I wired the key to the controller output called "speed selection switch" and all 3 key positions spin in the same direction. Do you use the reverse switch connector? That one only has 2 wires.
Great video! I've copied this setup, added the low voltage cutoff, and everything works great except the pot. that darn thing seems to do nothing. when attached, i'm getting full voltage no matter where the dial is set. I have the Plastic smaller foot pedal throttle and the pot you recommended above and installed the pot on the green wire. no dice. not sure what to try next.
@@CustomKidzCars First off great video Thanks . The pedal that I used had red, black and yellow wires. I had no glue on which wire to cut into. So I cut into the yellow first. And got you full voltage problem. I soldered the yellow wire back together and when for the red wire. And that did the trick. So it was the red wire with my pedal setup. Again the video was a great help. Thanks.
This is amazing! I've been looking into something similar for my daughter's Jeep. Thank you for doing this video!
What would be the most optimal motor to go with to match this set up?
Can you post the part numbers to the TNC scooters stuff the links got cut off...
Pot on the pedal output is GENIUS!! or should it be BEFORE the pedal...?
It's in the middle of the signal wire.
I love your video. I was just wondering if I could bypass using a controller and use a soft start module with voltage regulation?
R u referring to the cheap Amazon versions used on many models? If so it's possible but I am not impressed with the performance or reliability

They don't handle 36 volts as discussed in the video. They already smoked one motor. That is the reason for the potentiometer to turn down the power
Limiting the voltage with a Potentiometer is simple but isn't there a danger of overheating the pot?
It's on a 1-4 volt signal wire of the hall pedal so no
So the 24v speed controller handles the overvoltage with 41v from fully charge 18v Drill batteries ?
Yep, just wont have lvp but the Ryobi battery has lvc built in

24 volt then amp might be 30 amp

I put a link to the site in the video description for all the parts used. Thanks for watching

I’m in your boat currently. Did you find a solution?

Should be spliced into the white signal wire

How much would it cost to buy one that is a bit bigger for like a adult that goes 20 mph custom made?
That would be a go kart. Don't really have a price.
