40 Volt Power Wheels Mustang! Simple Mod - Much Faster!

[@Jasonoid]

**UPDATE: Putting a higher voltage into your power wheels could damage other electronics onboard (Radio, lights and so forth). If you plan on doing these modifications, UNPLUG those electronics before applying higher voltages. You will not be able to use those electronics while running over 14volts. The motors can handle the extra load BUT lights and radios could be damaged since they are only designed for 12 volts. ** Also, this modification works very well with 20v tool batteries as well, no need to go out and purchase a Ryobi 40volt battery if you don't have one.

[@Teejay620able]

This set up dosnt work with the smart drive mustang. Bought all shown supplies and dosnt work. Keeps overloading the board

[@Teejay620able]

Also the links you have for the controller is no longer the controller you have

[@FernandoLarez]

For other ride-ons that have a circuit board (music, steering motor, R/C etc) can you install this as a "Boost" to the motors between the circuit board and the motors? You keep the original battery connected that way the board does not get damage with the increase in voltage?. Just an idea, I'm toying with this..im not an engineer

[@Jasonoid]

@@FernandoLarez I had a friend with a car that used a circuit board. He found a replacement one online that supported up to 24volts and then used a 20v tool battery to boost his speed. It worked really well. Just see if you can get one that supports 24v instead of 12v.

[@MrAndrobotify]

Thank you for posting! All the other videos just show their kids driving the power wheels. No disrespect to them but I didn’t come for that I came for the explanation. You earned a new subscriber.

How does that 40v battery not burn up thr 12v motors?

[@homie4249]

I recently attempted this mod, and the speed controller just click and nothing works, any assistance would be appreciated.

[@danielgalvez3536]

Mine too I burn the controller

[@PDK7777]

Was it a 24v prior to build?

[@geekgod43]

So I bought a ride on for my daughter the ride on is a 24v utv 2 motor and already comes with a controller that has a read out on it when I add the 40v and turn it up to 60% the readout on the car turn from 24 to 35v would the current controller in the car limit how much I can push the car and can I go more due to the 24v motors ?

[@paulboutilier4928]

My boy has a bigger power wheels jeep two person. All I did was cut off the wires from the jeep plug stick on some adapter plugs and plug it into my 5amp hour, 20volt dewalt straight. His jeep will hit 13km with him on it. He now loves it. You do have to watch that the battery does not run down too far, or the battery is ruined! I let him drive around 20 minutes or so then check the battery and charge as needed.

[@Jasonoid]

The pwm controller is only there to adjust the speed. If you want it to run max speed all the time your option works great! As for the battery running down too low. Some tools have low voltage battery protection in the tool, and some have low voltage protection in the battery, you can Google that to verify with your specific battery!

[@zackmorehouse]

How much power can it safely take. I put a ryobi 18v in a 12v power wheels and it can now do 6.8mph instead of 4.5. We have a 24v ride in toy also that I want to give more power as it’s an ATV with 4 200w motors making it a true 4x4

[@nmjhd1234]

Can you wire the 40v battery straight to the car with an inline fuse without going through the controller? What are the risks of doing this? I have wired an M18 milwaukee battery to our power wheels but the kids want more speed 😅.

[@jeffdeporter628]

hi jasonoid. This upgrade was great but all of the sudden my 30 amp fuse is blowing on all four of my powerwheels. they were fine and running for hours. What could be causing the sudden change on numerous cars/

[@MrL35L13]

I've got an ego 56v battery. Can you post a link for a speed controller that can handle that?

[@maggillaguerrilla830]

Those cuts I would have used the pieces I cut out flipped them around and melted it back together no holes. Not that it matters I’m just a tad OCD 😂😂😂

[@meerkhan4404]

All u need is a higher AH battery most are AH 7 u can go to 10 same volts 12 v just the AH is longer lasting so u don't fry nothing up

[@knman0010]

Just dont push it the best part of this mod is the hot swappable batteries dont go too much higher than the normal voltage of the car it can cause alot of problems. I modded 2 of my kids powerwheels with ryobi 18v system withe the same speed controller and they drive until they dont wanna drive anymore not because the battery died. Powerwheels should adopt this system and even remove the speed controller it would still be awesome for the kids.

[@lovenfutball]

Have you had any issues with your speed controller burning up. I have had 2 burn up and haven't pushed pass 40% power. Also have you had issues with the ryobi battery shutting down from to much power being pulled at once. I'm thinking about adding a accelerator pedal so that power is gradually increased. Thanks for the info

[@Jasonoid]

The Ryobi batteries do shut down if there are too many amps pulled. Happens all the time when I am edging my sidewalk with my edger attachment. I have seen it happen with my power wheel if I have it turned up past 50 and it has lots of weight in there, two large kiddos. Still on my first pwm controller no issues with mine. Not sure why yours have failed.

[@malcolm3.0]

Battery keeps shutting down did you find remedy

[@Jasonoid]

That means the battery has too many amps being pulled and it's shutting off from over current protection. Maybe the motors are bigger than mine and pulling too many amps from the battery.

[@SeanHelmsREAgent]

@@malcolm3.0 I have the same issue. Did you find a solution?

[@immelting9834]

I hope I can find a battery tray for my kobalt batterys , I've already got the car.

[@mrericrossify]

Fried the old control board at 7 percent

[@cat-tales8109]

This absolutely worked great on our power wheels jeep that hadn’t been usable in a few years. You rock!

[@NAOSANT]

I have a 40v 6amp ryobi battery for my mower I did the same set up as you in my dune racer if I turn it up over 30% you step on the gas and it goes a few feet then stops and the middle two lights on the battery blink do you know what’s the issue. Once they blink nothing works including the speed control till I pull out the battery and put it back in. I did install a 30amp fuse. Have any idea to be able to go to 50-60%?

[@Jasonoid]

I've noticed the Ryobi batteries have a built in surge limit, kinda like a temporary circuit breaker. If I ride on my kids power wheel (lots more weight than my kids) my battery cuts power for 30 seconds or something. The battery also cuts out if I'm edging my lawn and the blade gets stuck, seems to be a similar issue. How much weight is in the dune rider? Two kids or one kid? Does it do it with less weight?

[@NAOSANT]

@@Jasonoid 2kids. So if it’s got a built is surge protector I probably don’t need a fuse. I rode it fine on both slow and fast at 30% and I’m close to 260. Any bit over 30% it kills it’s self after a 3-6’. Now I know that’s only 30 sec

[@Jasonoid]

@@NAOSANT it might have bigger motors than my power wheel and draws more amps. Mine cuts out like yours at 60% on the dial... And the motors get hot real quick at that speed. 30% is still faster than stock speed right? It have should a ton of runtime with that huge 6ah battery too.... Only thing I can think of is maybe try using larger gauge wires?

[@NAOSANT]

@@Jasonoid use larger gage wires throughout the whole car?

[@Jasonoid]

@@NAOSANT maybe just to the motors, not sure if it would do much though. I just thought of another idea, maybe you can disconnect power from one motor and see if it still shuts off at 30%

[@donaldgreth7155]

So my son has the grave digger powers wheels which is a 24v system. Since your going from 12v to 40v in theory i shouldnt have an issue

[@Jasonoid]

If you have fancy electronics (lights, radios and such) those probably won't be compatible with your power wheel and might be damaged with the higher voltage. The one I used in the video was Plain Jane and had nothing but the motors and battery.

[@Vandigan_GDGD-nq1qe]

How fast does 100% go and will this burn out motors quicker?

[@Jasonoid]

100% will burn up the motors and grind the plastic gears. I'd recommend 55% or less.

[@reneorantes-cruz6916]

Just got the same one for free not working so I’m looking forward to it, controller no longer on Amazon will find one similar

[@hpartsch]

Did you find an alternative controller that worked?

[@relentless944]

I pushed 40v in my daughters Vette and I blew both motors in 4 seconds. Cheap to replace, lesson learned. No way the 550 motors can take 40v EVER! Maybe a 750 could take a few minutes but the best is using a dewalt 20v and its solid, cannot beat it.

[@Jasonoid]

Just run it at 50% and you'll get longer run times with 40v than 20v. But yeah, my motors only got hot once and I turned it down quick.

[@michaelcoopermedia3643]

If your power wheels has other electronics like radios and headlights, you'll want to unhook those since they can't handle the higher voltage.

[@VitoDomenicoDiasparra]

Hi, great job!! I'm making the same modification to my daughter's car, I wanted to ask you if you connected the controller directly to the two wires (positive and negative) that come from the original control unit of the car (where the lights, radio etc are connected)

[@bradleywright3259]

[@Jasonoid]

That is built into the Ryobi battery itself.

I’m just a grandma trying to do something like this for my grandkids. I’m just wondering if I could do this with a Hitachi 1820L battery? It is a Ni-cad 18 v battery. Is there an adapter that would make this work? Thanks!

[@jootai]

does this work with all types of these electric toy cars? No powerwheels here in the =eU

[@Jasonoid]

I'd recommend a 20v to 24v battery instead so it doesn't burn the motors

[@GarrenAllred]

How is it holding up? Looking to do this for a used f150 but have been reading about that higher voltage burning up motors and other electronics.

[@Jasonoid]

You'd be safe using these same components with a 18v tool battery. I used the Ryobi 40v because that's what I already had for my electric scooter project. It's been holding up fine, I never go above 55%, nothing burning yet

[@GarrenAllred]

@@Jasonoid sweet going to give it a try with the same Ryobi batteries, had a few laying around after a lawnmower quit working. Thanks for the video!

[@BestKidsSolutions]

Anything over 18v on stock motors will pop them eventually.

[@bos3y]

My daughters car also has a remote so i can control it for her, would this still work?

[@Jasonoid]

The controller board won't accept the higher voltage, it will get fried. You can search for a "24 volt" controller board for your model and you can run a 20v tool battery as a replacement.

[@erikcapozzi3425]

Stock motors? Do you keep it at 50% to protect the motors ? I ran a 40v without pwm and it lasted about 10 minutes before it burned up 1 of the motors

[@ROBMARTINEZ-rd8lg]

I seen so many burn up they control board any way to avoid that I was thinking getting ride of my accessories but idk if my control board would still handle it?

[@jeremygeorgia4943]

I tend to like the Ryobi One+ batteries, because they lift straight out. If you have room for them, you can mount them permanently, and they won't need to be removed, to slide the battery out. The current model adapter even has its own power switch.

[@maggiemackey]

it is pretty working great. i have a question why the PWM controller is getting hot? i touched the outside the metal box. it was pretty hot and stop moving but still on. little help please

[@lakenivanova7536]

Can someone help me out? I bought the speed controller and I connected the motor wires and battery wires and so obviously I have power to it and the display etc. But where does the gas/accelerator pedal tie in??

[@Jasonoid]

The gas pedal is like the power switch, you need to make sure you connect the PWM controller where the battery connects so that the gas pedal still controls when the tires will spin.

[@verdugousa]

Hello @Jasonoid I tried your mod in my Range Rover Ride on Car. It is a chinese Brand and not a Power Wheels brand. It has a controller where all the cables go to, but I installed the controller and it works. My only issue is what other people said, as we are not modifying a Power Wheels, the gas pedal is completely of the circuit so the only way to move and stop the car is by spinnig the dial and not pressing and releasing the pedal. Please help me ti find where should I put the pedal to work. My Setup is Tool Battery + and - to the Controller, 2 motors connected to the + and - of the controller, but where should I connect the pedal. Thanks in advance and Cheers from CHILE!!!!

[@dob3079]

mine stopped letting me adjust the speed, it’s just 100% all the time?

[@Thefinalfall]

Fried my motors possibly. Attached the 40v to the adapter and turned it on. Instantly heard a loud pop and the lights flickered. Seems like I needed to step down the voltage. Is that controller what I'm missing?

[@Jasonoid]

Every powerwheels is a little different. My power wheels was super old fashioned and had no electronics inside (radio, lights, speakers) so there was nothing to fry. The newer models have electronics that aren't designed for voltages above 12v. To keep my motors from burning up I usually run my pwm controller at 50 - 55% power. That's a fast speed for my kids.

[@rodrigogloria6766]

Is it one PWM Motor Speed Controller per motor?

[@Jasonoid]

Just one for the entire setup since the motors are wired together.

[@aliederrick8264]

wat Kinde of Speed control was That

[@Jasonoid]

Its a PWM controller and it controls the output voltage to the motor, it's not quite a speed controller.

[@bobdemarco117]

40 volts won't damage the motors?

[@Jasonoid]

I run this at 45% to 55% on the PWM controller and it's still going strong. It's nice to be able to adjust the output for little kids (25%) and then turn it up with older kids (50% or so). No issues with the motors yet.

[@seymour5575]

Did you have to open the Dewalt battery to connect the wires to it.

[@kieransteele7223]

Does this not burn out the motors and wires???

[@Jasonoid]

Depends on the size of your motors/power wheel. Running the pwm controller at 55% with a 40v battery seems to hold up well. Mines be going consistently for over a year. Anything above 55% causes excessive heat and damage so don't run it higher than that. Using a 20v tool battery would be fine at 100%. I used the 40v battery because I had a bunch of them laying around. Make sure to unhook any accessories like radios or lights before the mod because they can't handle the higher voltage.

[@aldochav1418]

So i brought a huffy torex utv 24v for my kids this Christmas, everything works fine but i wish i could have more time on battery life, it last about 30 min when is full and then charge it for 12 hrs, i wonder how much time this 40v would give? I been thinking on do battery upgrade but this seems more beneficial, idk what motors this torex have, all i know is that is 4x4 and runs about 10 mph, again im not looking for more power or speed, i just want more time, do you think doing what you did would give more runtime? Thank you in advance!

[@Jasonoid]

You could run your torex off 20v lithium tool batteries. You would just need to double the current AmpHours available in your battery setup now. I would recommend purchasing a large 5/6 amp hour tool battery (or a few of them) and just hot swap them as needed. You can find adapters on amazon and ebay for many tool batteries. I'm not sure how 40v would work on that model, it may fry electronics that aren't good for 40v input.

[@carb0nfiberkid]

What about using a DC 48V Step Down to 24V 30A 720W Voltage Reducer Converter. The issue I am having is the PWM only controls voltage when under load.

[@Jasonoid]

That should work, BUT the benefit of the PWM controller is to be able to control the max speed for your kid. So if they are learning you can turn down the speed by dropping the voltage, if they have practice you can turn it up to a higher voltage/speed. Voltage controls the speed of the motors, amperage isn't that big to worry about. The PWM controller I used in the video is listed in the video description, I can't remember the exact specs for it.

[@NoLurp]

So 18V and 20V batteries worked fine. I don’t have a 24V to try, but I tried a 28V I had and put it in a Power Wheels Jeep and it blew the power converted that sends the power to the motors or and the radio caught on fire 😂😂 so be careful guys haha

[@Jasonoid]

The newer "rc style" power wheels are way more advanced than the one in the video. This one is old school and didn't have any thing fancy.

[@alonni06]

Is the stock battery still hooked up in the car?

[@bartbarnett2811]

So in my experience or lack of I find them able to put way more voltage to them if I wire the motors in series instead of parallel and for the brake put in some kind of resistance so that it doesn't just immediately try to stop using the break to try to stop it at 15 miles an hour seems to tear up the engines. Also I've had zero survive at 48 volts with car batteries but 36 V wired in series seems to be okay also 44 V using two car batteries and 1 20 volt drill battery. 😀 My ultimate goal is 30 mph so far all I can get is about 22. I'm going to put in a voltage resistor and slowly ramp in the 48 volts and see if I can get it up to 30mph.

[@georgechurma7795]

When you have the two motors in series you are dividing the voltage effectively in half to each motor. Additionally in series the resistances of the motors will be greater and reduce the current flow. Hooked up in parallel each motor will see 40V and resistances will be lower resulting in more current to each motor. In general, the lower current will result in lower speed output of the motor. Overall getting less out of the motor compared to 40V but it's also preventing the motors from getting destroyed.

[@dustinwalker7471]

So im goingbto do this mod but my son's utv is a 24v system and I. Going to Switch it to the 40v ryobi battery. Can I run it at 55% or can I run it higher. It has 2 12v battery in it now and has 4 Motors. The car you tested was only 12v correct?

[@Jasonoid]

Just make sure their isn't a radio or anything that will burn up from the higher voltage. My car was older and didn't have those fancy features. You should be able to run yours higher than 55% because yours is a 24v design, just set it higher and test it each time. 55% is stock for your machine.

[@crazcracker5184]

So with you running at 20ish volts no problems one wouldn’t need a PCM if they wanted to run an 18v ryobi, just take the adapter for the battery straight into the existing wiring. Would that be correct?

[@Jasonoid]

Yeah, would work prefect. Only 1 speed though, the pwm allows for speed control

[@thekessler251]

Hey there. I tired this and my control board popped. What board do you have or what board upgrade did you do? Thanks!

[@Jasonoid]

My power wheels was an old fashioned model with nothing but a gas pedal and forward and reverse switch. No radio, no lights, no controller. If you have those fancy features they probably require a lower voltage and won't work with a higher voltage like this.

[@darylhudgins1401]

I have gotten 2 motor speed controllers off of Amazon. Neither could handle the 40v Ryobi. Any suggestions

[@Jasonoid]

The one I have listed in the video description handles up to 55 volts. I have not had an issue with it. I also don't run the speed controller at 100%, max would be 55% because the motors get very hot!

[@ToiletRecordings]

Does it work on a 2,4g slow start powerwheel too?

[@afracaju]

I did this for my sons power wheel with a drill battery. Work well for about 30 minutes, but then it started to act funny. It will be powered on and will accelerate by itself without pressing the gas pedal A random intervals. Any idea as to why this is happening?

[@Jasonoid]

The only thing that comes to my mind would be the 'gas pedal' might be going out. I know that they have replacements online that you can buy. The pedal acts like a power switch so if the contacts were somehow touching the car would move on it's own. Super weird to hear that though. I haven't seen that issue before. You could probably wiggle the pedal around and see if anything happens to make the wheels spin.

[@anthonythomas8443]

What is the advantage of the pwm vs a perimeter?

[@michellebuenoo]

My son has a huffy torex 24v original battery. Do you recommend to do the Milwaukee adapter upgrade?

[@lefthandedarcher2126]

I have several dewalt 20v batteries that a larger amp hour, and several large ryobi 18v batteries, do you think either would make a good battery for this or should I use this as an excuse to get into the ryobi 40v line up lol

[@Jasonoid]

They will work great, just find an adapter that will work with your battery, no need to do 40v.

[@allenshakhmalian5746]

Pretty cool , have a dual motor Range Rover planing to modify , but I’m sure I’ll need a lot more than just battery and control unit , any suggestions ?

[@Jasonoid]

The battery and controller should be all you need, you'll want to unhook any other electronics like headlights and radios since they can't handle the higher voltages.

[@nemanuel571]

does it have to be ryobi? I am having a hard time justifying the 100+ battery. lol no off brand or is that gonna just turn it into an expensive fireball?

[@Jasonoid]

Use any 20v battery and run it at 100%, it will go just as fast! Adapters are available on eBay for lots of 20v tool battery brands

[@adamtrask3853]

How do the batteries hold up with getting drained faster and lower then normal? Or do you even have to worry about draining the batteries to extremely low levels repeatedly with this set up?

[@Jasonoid]

I have multiple batteries so I rotate through them. This uses the same power as a weed Wacker so not more power draw than normal. The batteries have held up fine.

[@dskaggs1000]

Soo.. no need to upgrade motors and gears???

[@timdastis]

so if you're using 18v batteries, could you turn the controller up to 100? figuring 55% @ 40V = 22V so probably a bit overkill to use 40V batteries if you have some extra 18v laying around. My son's car has a toggle for high speed and low speed, but it also has a remote that has high, medium, and low. Since he's too young to steer and such right now I'm looking to upgrade as the low and medium are painfully slow for when he gets older.

[@Jasonoid]

100% should work fine for 24v batteries. Just keep an eye on the motor heat buildup after some test drives. If you smell burning turn it down. Thanks for watching!

[@leemarsantos2243]

This is amazing! Do i need the speed controller if i use an 18v ryobi battery?

[@Jasonoid]

No, just plug in your 18v Ryobi and let er rip!

[@danielpuentes850]

is this for power wheels only?

[@Jasonoid]

There are many brands of these battery powered cars, this mod will work on most cars if they have a simple setup. Some cars have an RC controller and this will not work on those.

[@mikeoxsmall6091]

Did you still use the stock controller too because I’m wondering how you got the gas pedal to work

[@Jasonoid]

Mine is an 'old school' power wheels, no remote control, no lights, no radio, no smart controller. Just a battery, forward or reverse switch, gas pedal and motors.

[@jonathanrivera0604]

Great explanation on how to do it. I do have a couple of questions. I have a Huffy Torex Atv, it is 24v but it has 2 motors. Can I put both motors on the same output channel? Or do I need a 2 output controller? Also, can I leave the original 40A controller with the original battery aside to use the lights, etc, and make the 40v conversion just for the motors.

[@jesuscastro3858]

Im trying to do the same, how did it work out?

[@goforbroke2]

Interesting I setup my kids Jeep Wrangler power wheel with (2) 18 volt Makita batteries and a speed controller. Mine doesn’t look as quick as yours, I’m guessing different models have different motors in them.

I run my batteries near 24 volts so just a little higher than 18 volts. (55% on the knob of the pwm controller).

[@CoolEditz]

Well, how long did the motors last? Did you burn up any of the controls?

[@Jasonoid]

I run this at 45% to 55% on the PWM controller and it's still going strong. It's nice to be able to adjust the output for little kids (25%) and then turn it up with older kids (50% or so). No issues with the motors yet.

Did u upgrade the gearboxes?? I want to do my kids but let me know if u did please

[@Jasonoid]

Stock gearboxes, mine has twin motors so less stress on each motor/gearbox. If yours has one motor just mod it an 18volt battery or 24 volt battery max.

Hi there. Question: 1.Is it ok if there is no battery adapter? 2.Is it ok if there is no PWM? 3.Is the radio from the discussion refers to the sound like beep(horn)? 4.I will unplug lighting and sound only for the modification of 12v to 20v? 5.Please confirm if my set up is ok. i have 20v 2.0Ah. Negative terminal is same from my stock setting. it directs to my 20v battery. For Positive terminal, I just added a wire with 30A fuse then this 30A fuse to the small black box. this small box is connected to rx19(big box with bunch of wirings). At first, lighting and sounds are ok with this set-up but i think lights are heat up when i touch it around so when i go back to this video i should deactivate it. no problem with the step acceleration. forward-reverse is ok. I will subscribe to your videos. I hope for your reply. Thank you so much.

-No need for a battery adapter as long as you can connect your battery somehow. Sounds like you were able to do that. -You also dont need the PWM controller at 20volts so thats fine. -Some of these power wheels have a radio with music, unhook that if you want it survive 20volts. Only subscribe if you are going to watch future videos on the channel, good luck on your project, you should be pretty close :)

@@Jasonoid I subscribed sir. I want to watch many DIY from you. I learned a lot. Now i will test a full charge battery how it lasts. I want to know also how great we are. Thanks!

Is there a craftsman 20v adapter

[@Fj707ap]

Great vid! Can I do this mod on my sons Lamborghini Urus SUV??

[@Jasonoid]

Any electronics might be damaged with the higher voltage so unplug those before doing the mod (radio lights and so forth). Using a 20v tool battery is best because the motors won't get quite as hot and burn up.
