So far the best video out there, thanks for your info. I just bought a RX30 because i fried the one my son had, im thinking of running the 12v motor until they hit the ground then upgrade to the 24v motor and gear.

[@Neonjer11]

Ya you can use the 12v motors till they burn up. My suggestion is you just get the direct 24v gearbox/motor for quick install there cheap enough and worth the time save. Plus its always good to start with fresh

I tried a mod upgrade from the 12v to 18v drill batt just how other videos show, on this exact model best choice jeep. Only, it did not work at all. Did ever try that route? Or do you have any tips on how i can successfully install that 18v batt mod?

[@Neonjer11]

You can't add 18v on the 12v system. You can only do 18v on the 24v and that's not guaranteed to work as the esc requires a certain voltage to operate properly. To much and you'll fry it, to little and it won't power it

@@Neonjer11 right now its at 12v system with 2 batteries running in parallel but been meaning to do this 24v upgrade like you did. what will be the effect running these additional lights though on the system? just less time running the jeep since its consuming battery? do you have link for the lights you've used in front where it says PIAA?

[@Neonjer11]

@lestertipay2630 well the light if upgrading the system will need the voltage regulator. As for the led lights. The rollbar and grill lights(pia) are probably the same size. The smaller lower bumper fog ones are just single 12v led of your color choice

[@Neonjer11]

@lestertipay2630 the run time will depend on you batteries AH rating(Amp hours) when running in series you will have 24v but the AH of the single rated battery. Your current setup in parallel increases AH but your voltage is still 12v(ex:parallel 6ah|12v + 6ah|12v= 12v|12ah vs Series 6ah|12v + 6ah|12v= 24v|6ah

[@RubenNunez3]

ever thought of going with rubber tires?

[@Neonjer11]

Yes, typically you would not want to change to rubber tires in my opinion due to the stress it would now put on the gear box. The plastic wheels kind of act like a clutch or slip differential like in an RC car. If you take that away any stress relief by the wheels will now be directed to the gearboxs. With a Safe start Weelye Rx30 or equivalent it does provide a gradual start which helps reduce stress to the gearbox. Tho it’s all going to be a decision based on your landscape. I personally like the Best Choice Style Wheels with the traction strip in the center. I added some metal pan head screws every 6-8in to reinforce the traction strips. Hope this help your decision.

[@Neonjer11]

So 40k will have a higher top speed but little torque the lower the rpm usually the higher the torque. So a happy medium is about 18k higher then stock but not enough to notice torque loss. Hope I answered what you were asking

Also Milwaukee battery 18v on what ESC? Rx30? If so your losing 25% because of the 18v if you have 24v motors

@@ryanpatrick7086 all the links are in the description but if you were looking for a basic upgrade. Just direct swap parts. You need extra 12v battery $25, ESC $25, set of motors/gearboxes $50 and 24v to 12v Voltage regulator $10. That will get you to 24v basic setup "without High/low switch". adding a switch runs another $10, but you can switch between hi and low otherwise its always on HI. Plus your time to add some additional wires for high/low switch and to run batteries in series to gain 24v. Everything is pretty much direct replacement except adding those 3 things.

Thanks for the video! Working on this right now but for a VW Beetle, converting to 24V from a Weelye 12V. It looks like all the wiring is the same, I have a couple that I don't see in your video. Curious where you are using the 24V to 12V converter exactly. I will have to decipher which wires they are based on what you have yours running to and from.

I just bought the weelye kit to convert my sons Best Choice Jeep from 12v to 24v and the steering wiring is different from the kit. Just making sure I'm doing the right thing bcoz there's still 2 wires and as long as I connect the ground with ground wire and power with power wire I shouldn't have any problem. Also do you suggest to have a regulator for the steering so it is not receiving all 24 volt and possible frying the steering motor? Thanks in advance and by far the most informative video, atleast for me.

[@Neonjer11]

Not sure about your specific steering setup tho. The 2 wire setup can NOT be regulated

[@SCLEO1]

Have you upgraded the motor and gearbox? I followed your link but that looks like the 550 series motor and those only handle 12v from what I was told and the gearbox rings wear out if you jump to 24v? Unless you upgrade the gearbox and motor?

[@Neonjer11]

In the links in the description there 24v motor/gearbox combo direct replacement. The stock motor is rated 12v. heres the ones I just replaced my sons with over the summer in August, these are the ones you see working in the video. 24v 30000rpm www.amazon.com/dp/B085LN41TJ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_eUTIFbQEK6WQQ Here the original ones I installed 2 years ago, 18000rpm 24v www.amazon.com/dp/B07T572NXL/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_btf_t1_nWTIFbWZ39QRA 550 motors come in 3 version that i know of 6v, 12v, 24v. You can get those all in a gearbox in weeyle style for the jeeps. 570 motors are little better but tend not to be in a gearbox combo unless you buying a Peg Perego replacement which are 12v rated. You can find 570 motors that are 24v Johnson makes them, you can usually get them online thru AliExpress just watch what rpm the motor is typically 15k-20k is good anything less will seem slow at 24v

[@franktorrano5713]

I've got everything done except putting in the step down to 12v. I've see all your pictures and diagrams and I've watched the video with that part a few times. I just can't seem to understand how it's wired.I see you split the ground to have it for your quick connect. Does the power come 24v from the switch splice into the down step to 12 and then just place the other side of the wire on the output side of the regulator? where does the out going ground go to if this is the case? It seems so easy but I just can't wrap my head around it. In the diagram is power coming from the circuit board or what? I see the arrows but I'm confusing myself further.

[@Neonjer11]

Have you check the wiring diagram in the Google Photos links that has a basic wiring Schematic with the 12v-24v regulator I'll try to add a few more pics to the Google Photos link when I get home. So to Explain when you update to the RX30 and 24v all your current wiring is now 24v off that switch. You now have to remove the power (red) wires for your 12v accessories aka raio and lighting and run those to the output 12v side on your regulator. Then install a new power wire from the switch(now 24v) to the input on the regulator. If everything is set up right. You should have 24v to the switch. NOW WHEN ON Coming out of the switch will be the 24v for your RX30 and a new line going to your regulator dropping the volts to 12v that will feed your radio and lighting. Hope this helps. I'll add those photos of mine later for visual 👍

@@Neonjer11 Yes that helped a lot, thank you. I was just getting confused because I couldn't tell if the switched was sill 24v or if it needed to be stepped to 12v. Do you have to wire the pedal out going side of the regulator too? I see that it is a negative? I already burned out the radio before I had realized that I needed a regulator and new control circuit board. (Power Wheels don't have them so I based my modification off of them and it was not a good idea)Also I've looked everywhere for a new radio for the jeeps and cannot for the life of me find one online.

@@Neonjer11 I actually purchased that kit and installed it last weekend in the same BCP Jeep you have. It was actually really easy to install, the only problem was figuring out how to mount it. They also DO NOT recommend changing the motors and only using the stock motors that came with it.

[@Neonjer11]

@@tiberius1837 that's weird they wouldn't recommend changing the motors to 24v if your installing a 24v kit. I know they have the kits that are variable voltage so you could technically over volt and dial in to say 18v and get a bit more life on your 12v motors before they toast out. Tho, If your over volting the 12v motors @ 24v you will eventually burn them out faster. 12v motors are usually rated 14.4v max. For normal operation. This is why I recommend using the stock parts made for the rideon and upgrading them to the 24v version made parts. I'm not saying ECPU is a bad kit, or that the stock parts are better. I'm saying it doesn't make sense they would advise against 24v motors. Just some information on BCP Jeeps: you can buy..... 1: pre-assembled 24v motor/gearboxes 2:change motors to 24v using --aftermarket 550s size or --aftermarket 570s size (10t pinions may be required for certain motors not supplied in packaging, just FYI) *also 775s do not fit the gearboxes for BestChoice on the Jeeps. I hope this helps for informational purposes thx for the feedback

[@tiberius1837]

@@Neonjer11 well, here's their justification for it: "(Q) Can I upgrade the factory motors? (A) NO. Changing the factory motor speed can damage the new motors and ESC. If for example you replace the factory 8,000 rpm motors with 30,000 rpm motors you are quadrupling the theoretical final speed which is like attempting to start your car from a stop in fifth gear and will create a tremendous strain and cause parts to fail. You want to power up (volt up) and gear down or at least gear neutral. Changing the speed without changing the power is the same as simply starting a low powered car in a higher gear. You may gain a little speed but the low end torque is lost and this is very likely to overheat the motors and circuit board/ESC."

technically you already have 12v there. you could have connected one battery to the radio instead of using a converter...

Unfortunately this would now have you having to use 2 switches or unnecessary wiring to turn on your vehicle. Powering the radio independently would not keep it functioning as it was on normal startup. This would also pose a problem when charging the batteries as you would have to charge them independently at 12v instead of as a 24v, as each batter would be drawing a different rates. I under stand your view, tho it's not the best solution in my opinion
