How to install a Throttle Governor : Slow Down Razor Dirt Quad

[@googleuser9130]

Dude, you just made me dad of the year in my 3 year old’s eyes. We bought him and his brother these Razors for Christmas. Our youngest immediately wrecked because he was going to fast. He refused to get back on it until today. Thanks so much for making this video!

[@mattbdrums_3171]

lol

[@derekarmstrong1408]

Thanks for making this! 5 years later and still helping. Gave one to my my kid and learned quickly that it's too fast for him at 4.

[@davidharvey5157]

Just got this for my 5year olds bday today. Wife said 8mph seemed fast. Was watching video then started laughing when I seen the potentiometer. Just took one out from a PTAC unit a few weeks ago and didn’t have the heart to throw it away. Now it’s gonna go to good use. Thanks brother.

[@TheFoxalot]

Ty! I got my throttle limiter off eBay and this is exactly what I needed to see! Ty again!

[@bradencrowley3182]

Just added as you did, makes it so my 6yr old and 3 yr old can both ride it Thank you!

[@johnkeplinger8650]

Thx bro bought two for my boys and same thing way too fast. Got em tore down now waiting on parts today

[@user-ys8wb9yd2e]

Awesome video! Bought my 4 year old one of these from Toys r Us going outta business. This is a perfect “hack” to allow him to grow into it. Thanks a lot. It worked perfectly!

[@krissydeleon9457]

Thank you thank you thank youuuu!! Took me a minute. Literally 0% mechanic abilities and I did it. Thank you so much

[@JuanGutierrez-zm9bv]

Thank you so much! My nephew was scared to hell because it is too fast! I bought a 5k potentiometer and wires for less than 2 bucks. I ended up placing the knob above the on/off switch. Drilled a little hole with a Dremel and screwed!

[@southernbuilder5331]

I just used your video as a guide to do this to my sons Razor quad and it worked perfect! Thank you for posting this How to video!!!

[@jimmycrackcorn1667]

I've been looking into an electric dirtbike for my son next summer, but none of them have throttle governors...thanks so much for the idea man!

[@Reed4817]

Excellent video! Followed your procedure and had it working the first try. Well done.

[@FlyBrisGarage]

Works great on the razor rsf350 also wire colours are green to brown thou. I used a 50k ohm that i had laying around, but it only works until about 3/8 turn or less, it does slow the bike down drastically thou at the right setting. Thanks for the video.

[@cherylaffinito6465]

Thanks so much, we were able to do it with no problem. You did a heck of a job explaining, and the visual with the video was amazing. thanks again

[@germancantu9847]

Cool video I was hoping to find a way to do this for my son's dirt quad very helpful and easier than I thought it would be.

[@Swainvid]

Thank you so much for sharing this detail!

[@jonsjulander6330]

Thanks!!! My wife bought two of these for our grandkids. They are too fast for a 4 and 6-year-old. Potentiometers are on order.

[@jorgerpena]

Thank you! Applied this to my son's Razor RSF 350.

[@donatobattista9396]

Thank you very much I did it on my son's hyper dirtbike and it worked very well. The only difference with the hyper is you use both white wires

[@fieldpro5041]

you are awesome brother. thank you so much for this video and please keep making more videos

[@EVICTIONFISHING]

Sure thing!

[@McNasty4486]

Awesome video. Do I need to use any special wire for the leads that you made using the white wires?

[@jrhoads23]

Awesome video. I also have a Razor Dirt Quad. Trying to decide if I need a 5K or 10K potentiometer. Are you sure 5K is the correct one?

[@danarsenault02]

What did you end up going with? 5k or 10k?

[@hoyt_arms]

My 3 year old rolled his within first 10 minutes of riding his lol definitely need to invest in this !

[@jwatkins5308]

Nice thanks man big help 👍, I was at a lost what to do lol first time she rode it I put a strap on it so she didn't get away from me ,like in other vids I've seen they tip over pretty easy when hauling but turning ,her being 5 i already new what was going to happen so I started trying to figure out how and hell figure I'd utube it cause someone has always done it first lol .. So thanks man big help you rock

[@laceycash5320]

Great video! What are the white extension wires?

[@EVICTIONFISHING]

Whatever I found in the garage.. I’d say they are 18-20 gauge wire.

[@RodGriTV]

Thank you! Great video! Now I can buy 2 for my kids! 🙏🏼🤙🏼

[@bradleybarnes865]

Will this work on the dirt quad 500?

[@autumn05225]

Awesome. Exactly what i needed.

[@jacobmcling2764]

Thank u for the video I just done this to my daughters for Christmas

[@tcnguyen7670]

I have a simple 3 wire aftermarket throttle. Red, Black, Green. I can't get it to work. I think because the 6 pin controller is looking for the on/off of the 6 pin throttle when it's turned a little bit. How do I bypass that?

[@camiahurst8231]

Towards the end of the segment it looked as though the wheels were turning in reverse. Are my old eyes messed up??

[@EVICTIONFISHING]

They are spinning the right way.. This phenomenon is known as the "wagon-wheel" effect. ... So when a wheel seems to spin in a direction opposite its actual rotation, it's because each spoke has come up a few degrees shy of the position it occupied when it was last imaged by the camera. In this case is not the spokes but the knobs on the tires. This is sometimes referred to as the reverse-rotation effect also. Hope you enjoyed the video and it was helpful.

[@sickenedcyclist9080]

I’ve seen a couple videos on this but no one explains what two pins to use on the potentiometer. Does it matter?

[@EVICTIONFISHING]

At 3:41 I show the POTS. They have 3 pins, doesn’t matter which wire goes to which pin but one goes to the middle pin and other wire goes to either side of that.

[@googleuser9130]

Great video. I’m ordering these parts now!

[@DeeJay202]

Thanks for this my son hasn't been on quad since Xmas 😅... factory speed is too much

[@greghoyt4025]

Any one know why or how water can get in the switch by the seat. ... We hade to replace the one on our daughters and wondering what I can to do for my son's..note no shed to put it in and tarps fly away

[@nykeishaj698]

Where can I purchase the part and wires from? Or with type of store?

[@zd971]

Does anyone know what gauge the white wires on the potentiometer are? Thanks in advance

[@poncholopez9449]

Were you get the speed governor ?

[@autumn05225]

How many OHMs. They come from 50 to 100k ohms. ?

[@dmmzgt]

5k pots is what I used. You can use a 10k or 15k, it just changes how fast it adjusts the speed.

[@juicecounty714]

g how do u do it on a go bowen 36v

[@HondaFl350]

I have a similar quad by pulse performance. Wondering if this same trick would work? Thanks

[@EVICTIONFISHING]

Not sure.. not familiar with that quad.. sorry

[@Jake-vw1wt]

Did you ever figure out what wires on your quad? I just purchased one second hand and need to do the same thing.

[@HondaFl350]

​@@Jake-vw1wt sorry I did not figur out which wires it is

[@allentompkins7075]

thanx man worked out good for my 5 year old

[@EVICTIONFISHING]

Nice!!

[@wingsfan6238]

Hello my sons dirt quad is broke, when you twist the throttle is only clicks. If you give it a push it turns on and moves untill you let off the throttle the needs to be pushed again. Any ideas what that could be?? Thanks in advance

[@individual131]

Ever figure this out?

[@FlyBrisGarage]

Brushes on motor

[@WillVTT]

Thank you!! Worked perfectly.

[@Sammickk09]

would a 10k pot work?

[@EVICTIONFISHING]

yes it will

[@jorgeprsju]

Can I add reverse?

[@broughttoideas]

Yeah

[@adolfohdez31]

Great!!!! Just what i was looking for..

[@adolfohdez31]

Thanks

[@zixiaoliang]

Super helpful thank you very much

[@michaezell4607]

I want to do this with my razor pocket mod scooter as it's too fast right out of the box.

[@KellsBellz]

Hi! Were you able to do this to your Pocket Mod? I’m trying to figure out how to do it because the wiring configuration is different. :/

[@katiebloomer6705]

Seriously, youre video might just save my daughters life! Lol Could you pleeeeease share a link to the part you bought? I cannot find it anywhere!

[@EVICTIONFISHING]

Here you go.. .99 cents .. www.sparkfun.com/products/9939

[@broughttoideas]

Yeah bc they'd die in that lmao

[@AJ-sb8qk]

​@Eviction Wait video I got a question. The link that you gave for your parts is for 10k Ohms, in the video you said you used 5k Ohm is there a big different? Should it be 5k?

[@123funtv6]

Awesome dude thank you!!

[@EVICTIONFISHING]
