checking the motors after 30 seconds wont tell you if they are going to burn up from the extra voltage. You would have to run them for a good 2-4 minutes before they reached max temp. brushed motors can run as high as 180 degrees. any higher, and they are sure to burn up. 140-150 is as high as you should run them if you want them to last long.
Brushless motors can support much more than their base voltage suggests. Usually twice as much, in this case 3 times for sure. I couldn't see clearly if you plugged in series but I'm guessing you know your stuff so that's pretty cool, would get a lot more torque if you put a 24v starter motor in there plus some rubber on the tires. Might be too fast for a kid though, a 12v starter motor would do fine.
Even better! Currently modding a 12v hummer car for my 4 year old in time for xmas. Thinking of a second battery now with a relay to 'boost' up to 24v when required, with switch mounted on dash. Great vid, and cheers for posting
Yes some people say the motors get hot but ours never did. If yours feel hot after 5 to 10 minutes of run time either add fans or drop back to 24 volt. Have fun.
for 3 12v batteries , connect positive to negative to positive again to increase voltage, but would that be with 3 batteries than 36v ( 3x12 ) or would that be 48v ( 24vx2 ) ?
Now time for 48 volts!
Wish it was that easy to bump up the power on my pick up truck lol
Just had my first kid, and when he's old enough, we are definitely doing this! Thanks brotha!
The heckwith it. Equip it with turbo and some nitrous. Go nuts!
I put a 50cc engine in my old power wheels went 35mph
Can you please keep increasing the volts until you build a power wheels Tesla

That's a good dad right there !
Coat the tires with some flex seal, you might get her to pull wheelies 😂
Legend has it that Dylan is now a race car driver clocking over 2000mph
I loved the power slides ; the only time u want wheel spin.

That was a great finish to the boys run. Ended that shit with style.
You would fit right in in Maine.
The motors will get hot after that porkasaurus hopped in.

Put a small solar panel on this with golf cart (36v) charger and cruise all day =)
