Make Any Power Wheel Remote Controlled!!

[@coachgeo]

though not assembled yet... got a Ride on with remote. Will use remote alot... 1. do you happen to know if in general the remotes "return to center" the front wheels (it has a motor that turns the steering wheel) 2. if they dont have "return to center" Do you have suggestion for a remote with a joystick that would have that built in?

[@ronagarage512]

Typically they return to center

[@joelynnruiz]

When connecting the wires to the steering motor instead of soldering them you could have just twisted them together and used wire nuts to test the orientation of the wires which would make it easier to just untwist and switch them. Then when you have them correctly oriented you could solder them or use crimp splice connectors and heat shrink.

[@Upstategrows]

Exactly 💯 touch the wire and test first

[@Upstategrows]

We do it nice cause we do it twice

[@budpayne6317]

Does that remote kit come with a steering motor

[@camronfairfield8687]

How do you install the steering motor. I can't make sense of mounting the steering motor

[@kdmag88]

This guy is taking a ride on car already designed for electric steering and basically re-adding it. Most real powerwheels brand cars do not have electric steering and trying to make clearances for a motor and gearbox is huge project. He adds it to one car and acts like it will work for any car. The motors forward/reverse/brake can be added relatively easy however. But if you want full remote control and your car doesn't already have steering, you're prob better to save the headache and buy another brand unless you are extremely capable and have free time.

[@ronagarage512]

Its actually really easy, if you buy the kit with the steer motor. Ive done 2 where we had to add the steer motor and not alot of modifying was needed. Ill try to pick up another power wheel without it and do a video soon. But it can be done to any powerwheel

[@BrittanyHinds-sl8ug]

We have one yhat does not have a remote controller, when buying the equipment I need to get one with a steering motor​ correct? Wanting to adjust the one we bought for Christmas! @ronagarage512

[@kaileecarrigan4785]

What if the power wheels your rewiring doesn't have a steering motor, where would you use steering motor wires that came with the harness?

[@ronagarage512]

If you are using this kit and keeping manual steering, just zip tie the wires out of the way. You won't be able to steer from the controller, just forward and backwards. If you're converting to power steering they make this same kit that will come with a steer motor to install

[@SocialSiren]

So I started a project and I don’t this will work for my pink Willy’s Jeep wrangler. Can you help me or do a video on one of those? I bought the things in this video and I’m stuck cuz theres not a steer motor or lights etc. should I scrap this project?

[@TabethaHarris-zi7iz]

In order to put in a parental control do I have to remove all other wiring?

[@Tac.Outdoors]

The motor that turns the wheels left or right mine doesn’t have that can I add it

[@BarnesFamily-k3i]

Is it possible to add a parent remote with steering to the Power Wheels Dune Racer Extreme, FLM96?

[@ronagarage512]

Yes! Does it have a motor attached to the steering column currently?

[@andrewgomez7695]

Will this work for a 12v volkswagen E Buggy?

[@ronagarage512]

This should work for any 12 volt power wheel with an electric steer motor

[@2exiw]

So I’m not going to need to get a steering box. I have a real tree utv. I think you called it a steer motor. Or will it come with one. I didn’t see it in the amazon kit

[@ronagarage512]

No you should have the steering motor in that. But if you don't here's the link with one weelye Kids Ride On Car 12V DIY Modified Wires Complete Set of Remote Control Circuit Borad Wires Switch Gearbox with Motors,Children Electric Ride On Car Accessories a.co/d/gLwqMS0

[@KingHarlem147]

Will the conversion work for huffy ride on 6V cars?

[@ronagarage512]

I'm not sure, I think you'd need to upgrade to a 12 volt battery as 6 volts would be too low to turn on the controller but the 6 volt drive motors should hold 12 volts just fine. The controller is usually the first part to go with higher voltage

[@lauriecox2689]

Bought a used 6v car. I’m going to need to put this harness in because it needs a remote control. In addition, the 6v runs very slow in the yard and want to upgrade from 6v to 12v battery. Will this same harness work with a 12v battery upgrade?

[@ronagarage512]

@lauriecox2689 yes! It's made for 12 volts. So it should work perfectly

[@michellecummings7381]

Help!!! I bought this, how can I tell if it can be modified to remote control?

[@ronagarage512]

Any of them can be converted as long as you buy the right kit. If you flip it over look for a motor at the bottom of the steering column. If there is, buy the kit linked, if not itll require a little more modification but they sell kits for it

[@michellecummings7381]

I don’t believe it does. It doesn’t have a radio either.

[@michellecummings7381]

Mine has that is electronic, front lights, horn, forward/reverse. One rear wheel motor. I’ve tried to upload pics but it won’t let me.

[@xvulnx7405]

So i have the f150 can i swap it with this? Just curious if it works with any power wheels

[@ronagarage512]

Yes it will work for any power wheel

[@jjwarrior7669]

Will this work on the 12v Jeep gladiator battery powered? it is currently not remote controlled

[@ronagarage512]

It will work. There are different kits on amazon. Most of the power wheels have power steering, if it does, the kit I used will work. If it doesn't have a steering motor you can buy a kit that comes with one

[@cedrickjutras3992]

So I just did this conversion on a Mini Cooper but it’s like I don’t have power to it does this kit need 12v?

[@ronagarage512]

Yes this is a 12 volt kit and will require at least 9 volts

[@cedrickjutras3992]

So I have the new 12v battery on but nothing is happening

[@ronagarage512]

Doesn't power up at all? Maybe check and verify the charging Potlatch is connected correctly as that is the ground side of the battery

[@cedrickjutras3992]

I think it’s the controler in the car since I put a inline 10amp fuse and it keeps blowing every time

[@thugtiny2679]

I just recently did a M18 battery swap on the same model of Jeep but I did not use an inverter I just disconnected the old battery, connected some butt connectors, and hooked it up to the Milwaukee battery. Everything seems to work just fine except it won't turn right on the controller. Can you help?

[@ronagarage512]

Sounds like you might have a bad controller. Search weelye controller on amazon and you can probably replace the controller for 20 bucks or less

Ive got a bmw k1300s bike ride on forbmy toddler but eanna make it remote controlled too. Think the kit you hsve would function the same for it? It has 3 speeds built in vs just a high and low

[@ronagarage512]

The kit would work but it would only allow for a high and low speed manual switch. The remote can set 3 different speeds though

[@M24ps3]

Does this allow the car to still be driven manually OR does it only work by the remote now?

[@ronagarage512]

Both! It cam be driven manually or you can use the remote. The remote also has a kill switch on it so if your little one is starting to drive by themselves and head toward the street or something you can shut it down off the remote
