this motor is NOT a drop in replacement. I had to redrill some mounting holes to get the sprocket to line up. Also the cheap kidd traxx gear box wont handle this for long. Eventually the more powerful motor will wear out these gears. At that point, Ill decide to do a total rehaul? or upgrade to a bigger power wheels. IT is VERY fast with my 30lb 2 year old son! Faster than he can actually handle. My 5 year old daughter handles it fine, but she is really too big at 41lbs.
@@EagleRun23 how fast would someone your son's size take before the gear box wears out? I do electronic engineering, so the PWM controller board you have, I am very familiar with.
I built my kids a 20 cell 12V lithium battery for their normally 6V power wheel Lil' Quad and changed the motor and gearbox to a higher rpm 6/12V unit and this thing hauls. The lithium battery is alot lighter weight than the factory acid battery so that alone makes it faster. It runs all day long without heating up or running down and it's so fast that when I take them around the block I have to run the entire time to keep up with it. It carries my 2 and 3 year old kids together with no problem, combined the kid's weight is 75 lbs.
Awesome little build. I got a grave digger monster truck of this same size from the dump in great shape, slapped a 20v dewalt 6ah batt in it and my 3 year old was ripping around the track and came back and said her butt was hot… totally smoked the motor. Knew it was gonna happen but not that quick lol. Can you post the link for the motor you used? I got the link for the speed control. Thanks brother! My 18mo wants to ride the little thing now lol
So, I did this... then the gears stripped on two separate four wheelers within 1 min. It would kinda be cool to see a slipper clutch like an RC car. I also thought about just transferring the whole gear box, motor, electronics from a 12v power wheels. It would be 2 speed with reverse. Then run an 18v battery.
I’m guessing it burnt out at six minutes 38 seconds? 😂 Good job, I just upgraded my sons to 12 V and was wondering if the motor could handle 18 but I don’t want to push my luck
Doesn't Lithium battery requires voltage cutoff circuit or maybe is built in to the battery? I wanted to give the power drill battery a try but afraid I might overdrawn and kill the battery. Any thoughts?
ya, so thats another story, I did a video on that too! haha. I left one hooked up, it drained and went too low, wouldnt charge. I had to jump it to get the voltage up. now it charges and I own 3 batteries now.........
Yes I probably should have done it differently this was several years ago and I definitely make videos different now than I did then I have a new electrical project coming up on a scooter but I salvaged I will go in more depth on that
Did you reuse the same gear that was on the original motor? If so, how did you get it off the old motor? I have tried with pliers but it won't budge. Thanks!
Great video. I had a question Maybe you would know. I tried to hook up to 6 volt batterys to the same little atv you have and it is going backwards when it should of been going frontwards? Any ideal why, Thanks so much for your time
Ashley Moore if you only are switching the battery you should have no problem. If you did some wiring work, then the polarity on the motor is switched :) mistake I have made before! Thanks for the comment and hope I helped!
the Milwaukee I used has slots. so a spade or a ring connector slides right in perfect. sometimes, on big bumps it will pop out, but thats fine! I like them loose so I can swap to fresh pretty easily. wiring is just per the package in the speed controller. The bat power goes into the speed controller and then to the motor. It is really WAY easy. I am not a pro, I have very basic electrical knowledge.
EagleRun23 thanks for your response. I didn't see any other videos from you on this subject. I noticed you work on guns, pretty cool. I enjoy them my self.
Orion Fixr haha neighbor kid just rode it 5 minutes ago. He has a big f150 power wheels. He was screaming with joy while his dad tried to chase him! Haha
i fooled with a few gears off amazon, all were cheap, i measured the shaft of the output and found a gear that fit. this one was pressed on. some have set screws.
@@leticiaperez5397 Hey, wish I had more info for ya. This was over a year ago and the thing still rips! so fast. I didnt really film a tutorial. so I dont show many details. If you get in there you can see the gear box is super simple, gather your measurements and the motors are really easy to find. just make sure the diameter of the shaft is the same and the bolt pattern and its virtually a straight up swap.
Sir.sorry to bother,but how did you put the pinion gear on new motor shaft? We ordered the same the same motor as you did,but now the pinion gear don’t fit.
Next mod I need for my girls Kids Trax ride is fixing it's very limited turning capability. Damn thing needs a full racetrack loop end in order for my daughter to just turn around without having to stand up and drag the thing to turn sharp enough. Anyone have any ideas?
The stops are molded in the plastic body. you can easily cut them back and increase turning radius. I did this! just a razor knife no problem. Start small! if you go too much it turns too much and can be unstable. but mine does good dounuts with the right driver!
Hi there.im tempted to ...put 18v bosch battery into my daughter 6v audi r8 spider....ride on car....its so slow...and does dies in no time ....or maybe 24v battery 😱😉

Yeah!!! First To All.... Really Nice Job.. And just like that a new project Begins!!!!!! 😂
Boom! good luck! hot rodding an e scooter soon!
I hooked up the Milwaukee 18 volt 5 amp hours battery to a 550 12 volt motor also installed a forward reverse speed controller
I had a smaller quad than that and I put 54v into it it went Atleast 30kmh then it blew up 😂
I’m guessing it burnt out at six minutes 38 seconds? 😂
Good job, I just upgraded my sons to 12 V and was wondering if the motor could handle 18 but I don’t want to push my luck
hahaha nice upgrade. Looks fun
Thanks Rack!
Anyone have more information on the "quite a bit of modification" he had to do to get the new motor to fit?
Did the stock gear fit the new motors shaft?Or is a new gear needed?
I’d like to upgrade my sons 6 volt to 18. He has the power wheel lil quad 6volt. Any links?
Nice vid...
What kind of esc is that?
Did yours have a little circuit board?
What fabrication was needed to make it work?
What pinion gear did you use for the motor?
Does the speed controller just lower the voltage that goes to the motor?
It is a PWM controller, so what it really does is chop the voltage of 18V on and off really fast. Like a sugared up kid with a lightswitch.
I got the gear off the original motor, but I can’t fit it on the new motor as the shaft is a different diameter, what did you do?
I ran through a few different setups. But I may have drilled one out too. Been a few years :)
Did you use a 550 motor ? Id like to use the proper size replacement
i have links in the comments, but its been a good while, probably more and other options out there.
yes, its a great addition but unnecessary if your kids can handle the extra juice :)
What is the link to purchase the pinion gear for the shaft on the new motor?
Or size? 12-tooth 32P ?
Doesn't Lithium battery requires voltage cutoff circuit or maybe is built in to the battery? I wanted to give the power drill battery a try but afraid I might overdrawn and kill the battery. Any thoughts?
Qing Wu Milwaukee batteries don't have built in low voltage cut- off.... don't ask me how I know: )
ya, so thats another story, I did a video on that too! haha. I left one hooked up, it drained and went too low, wouldnt charge. I had to jump it to get the voltage up. now it charges and I own 3 batteries now.........
do you know how to jump the voltage so they can charge again?
Could you do a video on how you wired everything up.
Yes I probably should have done it differently this was several years ago and I definitely make videos different now than I did then
I have a new electrical project coming up on a scooter but I salvaged I will go in more depth on that
@@EagleRun23 i appreciate the reply. Im working on my daughters old 6v quad that i want to juice up a little more for her sister when shes older.

I'm also interested in how to remove the old gear on the original motor. Did you ever figure out a solution?

how did u get the motor to center up
Jose Juarez I’ll film an update soon and see if I can show more.

Stiffsce yes sir! This channel is just stuff I work on. (Mostly guns, haha) good luck got roddin your power wheels!!
What model of drill do you have? I want to get those batteries.
vehicle run time? Just wondering. Thanks.
Mike Bohn she rips! But I say 20 min? I have room for 2 batteries so I take a spare and have a good 40 min.
Awesome
she was a ripper, finally blew up the switches and the kids are too big. Working on hot rodding a e scooter now! coming soon!
Don't you need a in line fuse?
Where did you get the speed controller?
EBay or banggood. Just look up PWM controller
That is awesome!! Where were you when I was growing up? Haha!!
Orion Fixr haha neighbor kid just rode it 5 minutes ago. He has a big f150 power wheels. He was screaming with joy while his dad tried to chase him! Haha
A few years from now, when that neighbor kid is building hot rods on the drive way, remember you got him started down that road!! Haha!!
How long did this last? Did the motor or gears ever fail?
He decently repiled to someone else that 2 years later and its still running the stock gear box
How do you charge it up
standard milwakuee cordless drill charger.
How did you swap out the gear on the motors especially if it used a round shaft?
i fooled with a few gears off amazon, all were cheap, i measured the shaft of the output and found a gear that fit. this one was pressed on. some have set screws.
@@EagleRun23 do you have a link?
@@seth3342 Here is the link to the speed controller. amzn.to/40ArXRf

Kobalt 24v is cheap so my mod will have an adjustable buck converter and run at 12v.
Please show the wiring. I can’t figure out how the switch connects to the speed controller / motor / battery
That's Our House hey this will be back on the work bench soon I’ll do an update and some repairs. I can look and do a Q and A
why is it not going forward
Can you post a link to where you got the speed controller from please
Hey I love to help but I dont have that handy, this was a few years ago. I am sure its here in the comments.
What if you just leave the 6v motor and just hook up 18v battery any changes ?
She will go for a while. We did that. The motor swap was just because the original one burnt up :)
Mine burnt up in 20 minutes
@@319speed ha. Mine ripped until a ruined all my batteries! Kid is 5 now so he has bigger stuff.
How did you take the motor out?
leticia perez it has 2 small bolts :)

tomasz kus 18 v shouldn’t affect the reliability but 24 will cook that motor after a few sessions :)
Trying to find a video on how to make it reverse
Ohh interesting. Ya I bet that’s possible.
Would have been a nice video if it more details ok this wire comes from the battery and goes to here.
This is just a waste of time
It’s an idea. These models don’t even exist anymore.
