Ended up breaking them so we remade them out of 316 stainless and he came back about 2 months later going on and on about how they worked so perfectly. His son now wins every power wheel race they have in the neighborhood. Of course we had to solve the low traction tires issue. Nothing a lawn mower tire cut to a sleeve and secured to the plastic couldn't fix. Then had to add a wheelie bar and some front end weights. Lesson to take away from my story, if it has a motor and wheels, it can be modified.

Then my 2 other kids got the jeep 2 seater with room for 1 more kid in the back. They loved 4 wheelin in the back yard. It was all about what they could run over. Not about speed. So a few mods were key but that thing took a real pounding. So we shall see if i ever get to the 0-25mph in 10 secs power wheels mod done...because theirs always grand kids. 😎

How long do the batterys last on a charge
@TheSlimCognito5 жыл бұрын
I'm not an expert by any means but I would imagine that the run time would be about the same, maybe up to 30% longer though. 9.5 Ah @12v for the lead acid and 5 Ah @18v per battery for the lithium batteries in parallel. So 10Ah would be a slight increase, but the controller helps reduce power consumption. Lithium are also better suited for high drain devices and can generally run longer compared to other battery types on the same draw. I think the main goal was not to increase run time but to decrease charge time. Those lithium batteries can charge much faster than a lead acid. 14 hours after each use becomes like 2-6 depending on the charger and battery manufacturer, not to be mistaken for the battery's sale brand.

Two sided servo tape for hobby rc cars will hole that speed controller. As an option to velcro it will seem more sturdy. The velcro allows some vibration damping.

@@dlloyd6300 I know that LXT series 18V Makita batteries have internal BMS that cuts off battery output when its being overdischarged. Thought milwake have too such system but maybe not. Makita at least has it. Burned through 1.3Ah 18V battery yesterday for one of my small projects and it turned off automatically for me.

@@fulldnbboy that functionality is usually built in to the tools electronic controller. Are you sure it's in the battery too? I know Makita has some fancy stuff built in to the battery but am unsure if that includes discharge protection circuitry.
@dlloyd63005 жыл бұрын
@@fulldnbboy actually just found this on their site "For improved tool performance and extended battery life, Makita created STAR Protection Computer Controls™. STAR Protection is communication technology that allows the tool and battery to exchange data in real time and monitor conditions during use to protect against overloading, over-discharging and overheating" I could be wrong, but the way I read that is the STAR system requires both the battery and tool to function and prevent over discharge.
