I do not currently have a tiny human, nor a Power Wheels, but watching this video has now inspired me to acquire BOTH!! Especially that SICK C5-R car!! 😲 Thanks, Jakub!! 😊

Get both. Highly recommend

Next video. “You won’t believe I stripped all the gears in my motors, upgrade to 40v”

You really gave us Power Wheels content before a Foxbody build breakdown

[@itsreallyjakub]

Haha that’s probably the next video. I have a new part that I haven’t had time to install so that’s been the delay

Thank you for considering my request on doing the Aventador video!!! 2:26 was hilarious. 7:43 yeah sure 🤣

Love the variety, Jakub! Great job!

Glad you like it!

Awesome

[@mikebroom1866]

Don't use Dewalt batteries. The discharging circuitry is in the tools, not the battery. Will most likely kill the battery.

Good to know!

Hey Jacob, I met you at the Aberfoyle fair last year. Super nice to talk to you. I just did this modification after watching this video. My girls G wagon is now a rocket lol. Thanks for the info.

[@itsreallyjakub]

Great meeting you! Awesome, glad it worked out for you and the G Wagon!!

[@atpoe2273]

I tried to do this with a kid trax kia soul but no go... I did a 12 volt 4 amp hour I believe. And then the 18 volt from and Makita drill. I ran alligator clips and wires through maybe the wires were too small of a gauge However when I plug the original battery back in because I thought it was completely shot I did get energy from then but it was low energy even though the battery was fully charged. I have noticed that I had to resolder one of the Motors to get that wheel working. The only thing I can think of is since they're cheaply built is to go through and restart everything.

[@jacobb4129]

This is awesome and I used your video to upgrade my son’s jeep. Given the time since you did your upgrade, have you found the higher voltage cause any issues with the motors assuming they’re rated for 12v ? I found motors I can eventually upgrade to for 18v but curious how long it may take

[@itsreallyjakub]

Zero issues and it’s used weekly

[@CanadiansInCarsGettingCocky]

Love that Lamborghini cold start! 😂

[@itsreallyjakub]

Sorry neighbours

[@MEGAONE302]

What voltage is the motor rated for?

[@itsreallyjakub]

No idea

[@PrimeCrufuen-v1y]

You know, my kid instinct come back when I play the little car with my baby sister🤣

[@curtissharpe9233]

Does the original charger still charge the new battery?

[@itsreallyjakub]

No. I use the Ryobi battery charger

[@lee4188]

Do you still charge the battery using the toy car battery charger or do you have take out the Ryobi battery to charge by itself?

[@itsreallyjakub]

Have to take out the Ryobi battery. Which is even more convenient than having to charge because I always have fully charged spares laying around and it takes 1 screw and 10 seconds to swap

[@markhammer9975]

I will also be doing this for my daughter and only for my daughter not for myself at all.

[@itsreallyjakub]

👍👍

[@Motorheaddoc]

How much horsepower and torque?!

[@itsreallyjakub]

At least double. So maybe 1 now

[@sandraaupp1328]

Question? So you have to remove that battery when you want to charge it. so removing the seat everytime or can you plug it in?

[@itsreallyjakub]

I remove the seat every time. It’s 1 Phillips screw.

[@briangaglio9450]

So I have an issue where the throttle is cutting out how can I fix that? I can't seem to find anything about it online.

[@itsreallyjakub]

Bad connection?

[@briangaglio9450]

@itsreallyjakub not sure it's the same little Lamborghini you have and it starts up like normal but the moment I push the pedal to go it just turns off. I changed the computer in the back and I just ordered new motors for the wheels.

[@TrulyBrian]

@@briangaglio9450 Where do u buy parts for the cars? I need the page please.

[@arandomgamer5722]

How long will the battery last?

[@itsreallyjakub]

I’ve had zero issues since this day and my son uses it weekly

[@jesseebrackett5164]

Should i upgrade to 30amp fuse so it wont keep tripping it after my son drives for a little bit? I upgraded from the small 12v to 18v ryobi battery

[@itsreallyjakub]

You risk breaking something more expensive like the motors or control board

[@erikthie2253]

Could you not put a v8 in it??? or maybe v12????

[@itsreallyjakub]

One step at a time

[@vectorsss]

I did this to both my sons power wheels and it chewed up the plastic gears in the motors. 😭

[@itsreallyjakub]

Yeah, I think that’s a problem with the older Power Wheels. I didn’t have any issues with it.

[@supremewhip]

It’s going to eat the gearbox in no time… check for gearset upgrades if you decide to continue.

[@itsreallyjakub]

If it does, I’ll make another video

[@maxwellanderson007]

How do you charge it without taking out the battery again? Thanks.

[@itsreallyjakub]

I take it out every time. It’s one screw

[@maxwellanderson007]

@@itsreallyjakub Thanks for your reply. To me, it's a hustle. I think i need to find a car with battery under the hood. Thanks again.
