I love the 911 vs the blue car because of the time it ended at 9:11.
Most of those cars have little gear handles to go backwards keep in the middle to stop and push forward to go forward but if you unscrew the screws you can push it all the way down there to goes faster than it usually does
The wheel spin on the new Porsche is crazy
Next mods for these cars should be brushless power drills. Milwaukee makes some great upgrade options and gear boxes. The plastic wheels are good for grass but awful everywhere else. Rubber is just too heavy unless power train is modified. Then youre getting into large batteries, reduced run time. Might as well just give the am 90cc atv lol.
holy god the tire spin on that second round for 911 gt3 rs
I think your kids need to learn about the magical disqualification fairy.
Oh my gosh, the reverse looked like something I would have done.. very funny though glad you left that in.

That was a sick burnout @ 1:16
nice Porsche in the background of the garage as well. teaching them at a young age, nice!
Thanks! We are definitely injecting the needle early.
Arch D at the same time spoiling them
hey man, just wondering here (and researching for my project),putting more voltage in a 6v (or would be 12v) motor doesn't reduce lifetime of the motor? Great video!
The two biggest weak points for adding more voltage are the gearbox and overheating the motor. The more voltage you provide, the more torque on the plastic gearboxes, and the more likely something will break. If you have an electronic speed control that eases the power on, you can add more voltage (24v) to a stock gearbox. Also, too much voltage to the motor will overheat them and burn them out.
So funny a cute. Bring back memories of my childhood with my power wheels.
That was a sick burn out
U had to make the video end at 9:11 because there is a porche 911? Classic real classic
I love that you have a 911 and the time of the video is 9:11🙃
semracer nl wait 9/11 🤔🤔☝️
oh no 😐
KLC CRYPTIC its 7/11 the gas station is not 9/11
TheXtreamS8vageWolf 6634 read the end of my name
semracer nl lol
9:10
The little dude has an Apple Watch. Great video. You deserve a like and a subscription.
Thank you, your compliment is appreciated!
I am 11 year old and I watch the vids funny ones like the race cheating tell the kids I said hi and I am the 1st fan😀☺😄the vids cheer me up when I am upset the vids change my day now I am active and playing outside a lot thanks for inspiring me☺☺☺☺☺☺☺😛😝😜😛😝😜😁
TIME TO MOD IT! (By intentionally doing something which will prematurely burn out motors and/or strip gearboxes... >_>)
I did not really see what it was but nice real car in the background
To me, the Dad is more of a kid than his kids. I can relate to that. I am in my 50s and I still love toys. lol.
Change the tire from plastic to rubber more traction=FASTER!!!!
"POOWWWEERRRRR!!" -Jeremy Clarkson
Keep in mind the weight
if you add bike tires and put them over the stock plastic tire, it grips way better and has faster launch time, and better braking
Sounds like that would do the trick for wheel spin!
you're a legend dude. top man. so basically up the voltage until the motor gives out. then upgrade the motor/chassis for a beast then increase the voltage even more within the specified guidlines of not killing em before they can legally kill themselves hahaha my kids would love this. hahaha yhess
mikes a that's the formula!
It's not just the voltage it's the grip of the tyres
Take 2 the porshe was so fast the wheels were spinning extremely fast before he could to get to full speed
Wow with that much wheelspin he could do some sick donuts
look at how long the video is btw if u don't know it is 9:11 with a Porsche 911 in it ;)
Great video guys!
Thanks, Christian!
I like your porsche
Nathan went rogue on take 2!!!!!!
you should try installing a hoverboard battery 36v 44000 mah would be sick
I wonder how it would do against the old 18V Porsche from 1994.
That would be a great classic vs modern showdown!
Painfully slow, I would throw in a 6S 16000mah Lipo battery from hobbyking which is 22V and lightweight, large capacity drone battery. Get ready to haul ass. I'm sure it's a brush motor, get a 48V ESC from eBay, wire 2 x 6S lipos in series combined for 44V and get ready to rip. Also, upgrade to a 1500W brushed motor down the line, as you may burn out the stock motor on 44V. Just my 2 cents (I build electric race bikes 116V, 70mph).
Electric Race Technologies and rubber tires
Electric Race Technologies or a gokart engine
I like your thinking my good sir
ya I use a v8 with the quadro fart spin turquoise rainbow charger
excellent
Fast as lights off
You should but some rubber on the middle of the back wheels for more grip (on the 911)
the whale tail porsche turbo from the arcade game NARC!!
Nice video
Good video man well done
+RobStar2007 thank you!
Motors, Megabytes, & Mods your welcome I can't sleep its 3 14 AM
RobStar2007 haha ongoing man
you should cut out the middle front under the hood and add a 24 vt battery as replacement it would be awwwwesome it would go like 10 mph or 12
You know what you need? A predator 670 And rubber tires fastest power wheels ever!
oh by the way you shoulda add grip to those tyres so it'll have more traction
Dude straight up just buy a bunch of drill batteries that are like 18 volts and wire them up together. I did this to a RC car and it went 21 mph. I had a 20 foot strip marked with tape recorded the times, and repeated this action 10 times. I got the average and did the rest of the math so yeah.
savage shortcut
THAT BURN OUT THO 5:42
this guy is good, he educate his child
I'm dying to squeeze a honda 125cr shifter kart motor in the one I just picked up... and make it rc.
Just needs more grip now. Too much wheel spin on launch :)
So true. The increased speed also makes understeer a bit!
Lets not forget you can upgrade the motors too.
+AmuckPVP excellent point, better motors definitely kick things up! The biggest reason I went to only 18v is the gearbox. Once you hit the torque that 24v provides, the instant start and stop of the power is difficult for the plastic gears to handle, and they will eventually fail. To combat this, modders also upgrade the gearbox, change to a variable throttle system (usually a scooter board), or both. I like your mindset of more power!

*"excellent point, better motors definitely kicks things up!"*
I ended up going to multiple pawnshops & bought a ride-on-car toy for an amazing price. The unit I bought had a dead battery & I talked them down to reduce the price of $60 because of it.
*"The biggest reason I went to only 18v is the gearbox. Once you hit the torque that 24v provides, the instant start and stop of the power is difficult for the plastic gears to handle, and they will eventually fail."*
I purchased a new Traxxas 5675 Titan 775 & you can get the plastic disc that goes inside the GearBox used or new at a good price on eBay or buy a metal one.

I thought about buying a ESC system someone is selling on eBay that I came across from RUclips or to try to build it myself. I wonder if certain scooters have it so I can just transfer the system to a ride-on-car toy & I can pay a fraction for getting it used. However, I did what the person above mentioned. I ended up getting 3 cheap-grippy bike tires at Wal~Mart & it helped for the jerking.

I forgot to mention that the two batteries weighed less than the dead default battery & should last a lot longer anyways. Also, I failed to mentioned other accessories I bought like the fuses, new wiring, & etc. I bought a used unit at a pawn shop that costs less than the price compared to paying when it's new & that includes the price of upgrading mine with MOD's. All in all, it was a fun project & my toddler son loves it. He recently got it for Christmas but unfortunately it's been raining a lot in California where I'm from lately.
Nice house and car
Good job
thanks
I wish I had this as a kid
Me too!
he's like this that boopy bop oh for get it!!
That paint job more cleaner than my car
nice vid, thank you very much guys
Put some nice BBS super RS 15" with Pirelli tires on it.
So no wheelspin or understear ;)
And gift him a airride..
So u have performance and show.
Can I do this on my kid's Fiat 500 ride on?. Will doing this break electronic circuits?.
I love that Porsche Porsche that's awesome it's awesome
So my kids have the same Power Wheels Porsche GT3 and I've been looking to do this exact mod to make it a little faster. I wanted to see how the batteries were wired in a series, but you didn't show that too much in detail on your video. Any more information on this? Thanks! BTW, you have a lovely family!
Hi AWDRIFT, thank you for the compliment! There are a couple of ways you can do this. One is to do it how I did it in the video where you snip off the factory connector (on the car) and use the "F2" connectors in its place (links in the video description, for reference). One of those sides is positive and the other is negative, and there is usually a (+) and symbol on the connector so you know which is which. The wires are sometimes color coded with red being positive (+). You then connect the positive wire (+) from the car to the positive (+) connector on one of the batteries (it doesn't matter which battery). Next, you connect the negative terminal from that battery to the positive (+) connector on the second battery. Finally, you close the loop by connecting the negative terminal on the second battery to the negative wire on the car. You've then successfully wired the battery in series. You'll know you reversed the connection to the car (swapped the (+) and ) if you push the throttle in a forward gear and the car goes backwards. In that case, you mixed up the (+) and on the car side, so just flip them and you'll be set.
The other option is to leave the factory connector on the car and buy a second factory connector for the battery. In that case, you wire the batteries the same way as I described, but connect the positive and negative wires from the batteries to the new factory connector instead of directly to the car. You can usually find new or used connectors on eBay, just be sure to get the right "style", as all power wheels connectors are not the same, and the car and battery connectors are different from one another.
Good luck, and let me know if you have further questions.
Motors, Megabytes, & Mods , thanks for the quick reply. What gauge wires did you get for the connections, or does it matter? Your instructions on running the batteries in a series is really helpful. Thanks!
AWDRIFT I went with 12 gauge wire, and there are links in the video description for reference. Any "hookup wire" at your local auto or home improvement store will work. You'll need connectors, and the typical batteries (as in the links) have what are called F2 connectors. Those are also available at most retailers, as well as on amazon. Expand the video description and you'll see most of the parts list laid out.
I like that the video is 9:11 minutes! And The Porsche is a 911😂😂😂😱
You could add another 6 volt if he ever wants more speed
+Brandon Parks that may be the next mod, the boys definitely feel the need for speed!
Hey there, awesome mod! How is it holding up? Any issues with the gears/motors? Thanks.
+Rod Costa not at 18v. When you kick it up to 24v, you run into issues with the stock motors and gearboxes. In that case, you go with a stronger first gear (vendors like ml toys), or an electronic speed control for variable throttle. It's those 100% power starts and stops that thrashes the gearboxes.
I noticed that you also have a Porsche I used to but just sold it
You should put gripy Teeyers on the parsh
I bet people in the comments are going to make fun of theses kids for being "rich".
1st video and I already like the idea.
My name is Andrew I like cars and racing
K andrew
Put like a rubber coating on the wheels
Tb1216002 hhusjzv😕😡😰
Yeah.. Good idea!
Sad so many fathers don’t do this..my dad did in the early 90s and now I have a bank breaking hobby
My dream car is a Porsche 911 GT3 RS
lol i laugh everytime i watch this its just to awesome i want a son now
Young Florida Boy bzkbzks
yo guys that made me funny. The little kids skipped across the freaking grass and then the kid in the 911 dude I was so f---ing funny
Get them dirt bikes
I feel like you could fit like 36ish volts of power form more batterys
what is it just me or did anyone notice that he had a 911 Porsche and the video was 9-11
sasuke uchiha I did
I noticed it too
sasuke uchiha yep
yeah i know
Bush did
Have you thought of using an 18 volt drill battery instead of having to use those two big batteries?
+Skater Life that's a good idea, and some people are doing it. The biggest knock against it is the capacity. The larger drill batteries are around 4.0ah, and the batteries in this video are 12.0ah, so they will run for about 3x as long as the drill battery. You could theoretically run 3 drill batteries in parallel to get the same 12ah, but they you would lose the convenience of a single, small, light drill (lithium) battery.
I can't stop laughing watching this video Good job
Kid is full of win.
Its an acceleration - keep them running on contact - special likes on this one! Extra Voltage Rock arms -
You should do a 100 volt
Nathan said "nah fuck this I'm winning"
You should add rubber tires to the dune buggy
Too funny! Great job dad!
This was on my birthday but in 2010
Dose that kid have a Apple Watch so spoiled
Team Ender sean jealous ?
I am
Sean Thompson your just broke and jealous lol
Should have put plasti dip on the tires to increase traction
Exactly
I have one of these for my daughter and the tires have worn through and are no longer available. Any solutions that you know of?
Make it Wheels Rubber also the 911 was Rwd That's nice I love rwd
I want a car like those
I like how it's a Porsche and the vid is 9:11
Tell ya what that electric dune buggy and the 911 have some torqe. Dang
That kid has an Apple Watch
That parent believes in that kid
i know how its slow the car is big and heavy but the buggy is small and light so its fast
Anyone else notice that kid is like 5 and has an apple watch
I'm older than him (of corse ) and I don't even have one
Jacob Langston I dont even have a phone
It's not like anyone uses it anymore lol
Bryce frikin spoiled kids
saw that too
To get the 911 to go faster take rubber strips and Super glue them around the back tires
I like how it's the Porsche 911 and the video is 9:11
the blue racer has a lotta wheelspin, but in the end the GT3 wins.......for some reason the 12 volts gives the wheelspin lots of power, making the end a bit of power....id say its good but would you change both to 24 volts and do some upgrades on the GT3 same on the blue racer but id prefer the GT3 because its more of a racer but you can do simple mods like um.... a new spoiler and real rubber on the tires??? its maybe gonna give the GT3 more wheelspin same for the Blue Racer and how bout' change the color of the body.....and clean up the interior so its more lightweight....id not prefer a carbon fiber hood cuz the engine is at the back.......id really want it to happen...im a great fan!!! :-)
nethen is smart
Problem solving at its best!
Yeah
Yep
