are these batteries can charge with normal car charger
Hi.nice , very detailed video.....may I ask a question....what about if I would replace 6v for 12v motor ...those r usually 12-18 volts motors..and connect...18v bosch battery ....is it possible....?...is car going to be quicker /stronger ...or works for longer ....
I do have 6v audi r8 spyder ride on car toy.
Cheers
What will make the car faster is the higher voltage battery. The reason you should also upgrade the motor is if you run an 18v battery with a 6v motor it will burn out. The 18V Bosch battery with the 12-18v motor will definitely make it faster than the 6v system that it comes with. Good luck!
hi
I just asked, I noticed that you didn't change the electronic connected to the led lights, which is designed at 6v, won't that be affected because you changed to a stronger volt? im just wondering if this technique wont be damage the other electronic in the long run..
Hello, No I did not have any issues. All the lights and every worked perfectly. I believe there is also a 12V version of the car which could be why it still works.
Awesome video, very detailed. I just unboxed mine and the soldered motor connection came off underneath just like your video but on the other end. Do you think it’s fixable? I don’t have soldering skills but want to try fixing it.
Did the piece snap off? If it did I would say it's better to just replace the motor. They go for like $10 on Amazon or eBay. Might not be worth the headache
DIYDad the zip tie holding it in was broken out of the box and I forgot to replace it. My neighbour fixed it by using his soldering skills. Happy kids = happy dad lol Cheers
pro tip : you can watch series at flixzone. Me and my gf have been using them for watching loads of movies recently.
@Gabriel Jordan yup, I've been watching on flixzone for years myself =)
@Gabriel Jordan Yea, have been watching on Flixzone for months myself =)
where did you purchase the parts from? I think if you had left the 6 volt motor in, it would have doubled the speed? By converting to 12 volts, it didn't affect any of the lights? Where did you get the new 12 volt charger from? Thank-you.
Good afternoon, I purchased the new motor and battery on Ebay. And I believe you are correct that the speed would be greater with both motors. I will be reinstalling the motor in the summer to test performance.
What if I purchase another 6v motor and 12v battery? I mean gearing each motor on each side
Hi. Thanks for the video. How do you charge the battery? Do you use the same 6v charger?
You will need a new charger that charges a 12volt battery. This video may help, there is also a list of materials used in the description: th-cam.com/video/5KcoaRCp0y0/w-d-xo.html
You will have to buy a 12V charger.
Hi DIYDad, thank you so much for the video. I have the same BMW i8 and I upgraded the 6v battery to 12v but I didn't replace the motor. The car does go faster but after about 10 minutes of use, the whole car (motor, lights, steering) shuts off for a few seconds. I would have to press the power button to shut if off and turn it back on. I think its possible overheating but the motor does not feel hot at all. Do you think replacing the motor with a 12v one would fix the problem?
Yes, it could be over heating the motor. I would recommend upgrading since it's less than $20 but keep using it until it completely dies out.
I also did the same, and it does the samething even after changinf the motor
@@eloynieto3261 check all of the connections, I found that sometimes wires could come loose. Also check that the logic board isn't overheating.
It's probably the realys that are overheating. They are rated for 6V. They are the two black boxes on the little circuit board.
@@thomasharabasz2875 so how do I rectify this issue
Did you use the same gearbox and just changed out the 6v motor for the 12v or did you replace the whole gearbox motor assembly. I am doing this to my daughter's mini cooper s. It has the exact same 6v battery and gearbox motor as your i8 BMW.
All I replaced was the motor, it fits in the same gearbox.
@@diydad2 Hello Have you also changed the control circuit from 6v to 12v.Cause in my car it got a 6v circuit control unit.
@@sivasai2519 No, I did not change the control unit.
@@diydad2 There may be some problem
I need full kit i.e., Battary, motor, charger and kit. Where it can available.
I bought the parts I used for this project on Ebay and Amazon.
Hi. I have 2 small batteries in. Both is 6v 4.5a and both of them are dead. I am searching for a new battery. What I wonder is if it is possible to plug one big 12v battery instead 2 times small 6v + 4.5a battery?
On charging socket there is a warning like 12v 700mah..
What exactly i have to buy i dont know because there are a lot of 12v batteries but with the different mah levels.
Hey, as long as your battery control unit can handle the battery control module can handle the 12v unit you should be good. The 700mah is the battery capacity, the more mah the more "the battery will last"
@@diydad2 Great. Thank you... So that means if I use 12v 1,5a adaptor instead 700mA it will charge faster! İs that correct 😊
@@asherdorockhazard1384 The more amps the charger has the faster it will charge the battery. The higher the MAH the more capacity the battery will have.
@@diydad2 thank you for brightining me up. My child gonna love to hear that. I am gonna buy a big mah menu now 😂 Subscribed!!!!
Just did this upgrade with the exact parts you used and the thing keeps shutting down every 4 seconds or so if the tires are under load. Has anyone fixed this problem yet and how?
Did you ever find a fix?
I know it's a late reply, but the relays driving the motor are still rated for 6V, running them at 2x voltage is likely the cause of the issue.
Was there any adverse effects on the electronic main board....dash, steering wheel or more importantly, the remote control circuit?
To this day there have no been any negative effects. Everything still works as it did before.
@@diydad2 do you have the RC control as well? I have the same i8 model with RC and I'm not sure the main board would be able to support 12V instead of 6V
@@LorenzoBernardi1 Sorry, I do not have the remote control version.
i was going to do the same and then found that the plastic cutouts in the car allowed 2x 12v (rather than 1x12v in your picture) and the front bonnet pops open for for you to update the lights and speakers. Next upgrade is gokart tyres
I already ordered another motor for the other wheel just waiting on the parts to arrive. Hopefully it'll improve performance.
@@diydad2 biggest improvement is better grip on tyres
@@nthlevel I just finished installing the new motor and it's definitely and improvement. No I have to jog a little to keep up when before I could walk.
Hi, seen this video and tried 2x 12 volt motor and swapped 6v to 12 volt battery. Seems like there's no torque when taking off but faster when it gets going and also shuts off completely after like 15 min. Any Ideas? I'm no electrician just seen your video
sir is it the same upgrade procedure if my PW has remote control function?
Do you have the i8 with remote control functionality or is it a different vehicle?
different vehicle sir. anyways, battery came and it works fine with 6v motor. but i also ordered a 12v motor now I'm waiting for it.
can I run 6v and 12v motor in a 12v 7amp battery?
@@cforcourtney3717 Yes, it will work with the 6V motor but it might burn out the motor eventually so it is good to get a 12V replacement.
whats is the voltage of new motor
12V
Hi, can you please let me know exactly what I will need to do this ?
All you need is the new battery, new motor, wire splitter and terminals. I got everything from eBay.
If you have additional questions, check out this video: th-cam.com/video/5KcoaRCp0y0/w-d-xo.html. There is also a list of materials in the description
Is it 12v 40000rpm motor you replace it? Please notice me ..
It was a 12V motor but I can no longer find the exact specs on the RPMs.
Es normal xqe tengo una motito de 6 voltios pero quiero ponerle una bateria yun motor de 12v. Es normal
Si, el mio era de 6V y le puse una batteria y motor de 12V.
Wish I had this as a kid 😤 I had a stupid truck
Still loved that thing tho lmao
Why not just use the 6v motor and 12v battery? Looking at the 12v motor you seem to have a low speed one. 10000 rpm. Surely if you wanted 12v for speed you would have needed at 30000 rpm motor?
I have an i8 12v. But only because it has 2 motors at 6v each. I would have to get another 12v battery to make 24v. But split it would only be 12v to each motor.
The 6v motor will burn out after some time as it wasnt made to take the 12v power. I do believe I was mislead when purchasing the 12v motor.
@@diydad2 quick question i do have similar 6v car from same manufacturer. After 12v conversion does everything still working like horn, lights and so on? I'm thinking of going 12v, but afraid that I'll burn mp3 player, lights or horn.
U don t really need a V12 motor
