Connecting back the regulator everything works except voltage drops whilst driving even on highest setting ? Any idea whats wrong ? Thanks

      The child can choose a high low speed but the remotes have a 3 speed setting, when the remote is used it over rides the setting selected on the power wheel, so your boy could flip it to high speed but if you have it on the lowest setting on the remote it will stay on the lowest setting

    I have a Mercedes Unimog 12v 4wheel drive and want to convert it into 2x18v Milwaukee Lithuim-ion batteries. Does your upgrae also work on a 4wheel drive poer wheel? Can i use the 9.0ah battery instead of the 6.0 to get a longer play time?

    • @ronagarage512
      @ronagarage512  3 года назад +1

      So are you wiring the 2x18 volt batteries in series to make it 36 volt? If your planning on making it 18 volt all the components I used would work, the 24 volt controller I installed has 2 spots to plug in multiple drive motors so it would work for a 4wd unit. And yes a 9.0 battery would give it a longer run time than the 6.0. If your going to make it 36 volt, then you would probably need a 48v controller. Check out my other video on the power wheel to see what else I upgraded

      I've switched back and forth between the stock motors and aftermarket ones, the aftermarket ones would intermittently cut out, not sure if its because they are 24volt or just cheaply made. I will probably stick with the stock motors going forward. Only other thing I think I would/will do is wire in something to step down the voltage to the steer motor, its kind of snappy at 18 volts with the remote. If my son steers its not bad, thats the only reason I'm holding off

    That is a very convenient idea the only thing is the battery is exposed so you'll have to ensure he doesn't drive in water puddles

      So far so good! He's still let's me drive him around in it and hasn't started driving it on his own yet. We'll definitely have to watch out for that though

      I have another video on my chanel about this. Mine did the same thing and circuit board melted. The other video shows how to upgrade it to 24 volts and has link for board
