SPEED CONTROL: There is a switch on it (OFF, STOP, RUN > use Run and you should see a red light on) I was confused about hooking up the Motor Speed control until studying it more. Why 4 wires? 2 from the 20V Battery side which is Input "P+" (RED from the Battery) and the Negative is Input "P-" (BLACK from the battery) This is from Left to right on the speed control. Next the wire from the Motor hooks into the M+ (Red) His red was black and M- (Black) his was white. DEWALT BATTERY POWER ADAPTER: The one I bought had an on/off switch. I finally realized this after a half an hour of trying to figure out why the car wouldn't power up. Hope this helps.
I did this with a 18v makita battery, thanks for rhe vid. One note too add though is although we added a 30amp fuse , the voltage controller came with a 15amp fuse inside, that poped pretty fast so i replaced it with a 30amp fuse. Just a tip for anyone looking to do the same
@BrandonT i have it before, (30amp) but it was the smaller 15amp inside the speed controller that blew, I put a 30 in and it has been running great since kids love it. Plus I added a led spotlight with light switch too
@BrandonT it shouldn't matter if the regulator has its own 30amp fuse. It will protect it. If its anything smaller it will blow before the other 30amp fuse. Depending on draw of power ie: weight and speed, uphill etc. If it dosent have a fuse built in the regulator I would put it before and that will blow before the regulator.

@DudeDad I have been looking for a video or website that literally explains step-by-step how to do this, and I FINALLY found your video! It made me chuckle for a couple of reasons🤣 One being that I am laughing at myself now for not thinking of your RUclips page SOONER!🤦🏻♀️🤣 I have been a fan for a few years now, and I chuckled when I seen that this video was FIVE years old!!

Can't wait to see where the next 5 years takes you!
As soon as we bought one for the kids this was my first thought. Our one already had variable speed so I just mounted the battery slot on the side and I take a couple of batteries with me when we take it to the park. Never needed the second yet thankfully. I was so worried I would ruin the thing but it’s easier than it seems.
Does your have a control box? The stock circuit board thing? Do I bypass that? Mine has high and low speed stock and don’t know if I’d lose that feature
One thing to note with this set up. Be sure to take your battery out when you aren't using it or else the battery will continue to drain while the car sits and it will kill your battery completely.
I would consider wither putting a lock on the hood of the vehicle or putting the voltage controller inside some kind of lockable container where the kids can't just crank it up to the full 18v and hurt themselves. Other than that, what a great idea and video. I will be doing the same thing for grandchildren one day!
Yeah, thank you times a million! I just got a 1991 Suzuki quad off the side of the road and i need to rewire it to a different battery since the wires are toast. I ordered a conversion kit and was scared to put my 16 month old on a fast quad since almost every drill battery is 18v or 20v . Now that i know theres a such thing as a motor speed control it will be delivered on Saturday 😂 I cant wait to order the battery and see if it works! If not onto the next problem! But i cant complain since it was FREE, and its vintage!
Great tips and the links in the description for the gear I’ll need was incredibly helpful! I’ll be using this concept to power the LED lighting for my beach cruiser bicycle lighting array.
You're going to want to add a low voltage cutoff, while the Milwaukee battery knows when it gets too low it sends that signal to the tool to cut power. The battery itself will not cut its power, and you'll over discharge and ruin the battery. Edit, I suppose it's possible the USB charger you have has a cutoff built in, but if so I would find it unlikely it's rated for 30 amps.
upgraded my son's as well but after a while riding it the gear motors started getting to hot , so definitely have to upgrade the wheels motors at some point as well.
Of course not, that’s why we modify it. The extra power will wear out gears and everything else faster compared to OEM. Just the fact that you need to add an extra fuse should let you know that you might be strapping your kid up to a fire rocket… AWESOME!!! lol
That's what I'm thinking. These things have some tolerance in regards to voltage, but not 50% higher that rated. It would be different if the speed controller was a buck converter that actually dropped the voltage. But its not.. Its a pwm. The way it works is to turn the full voltage on (in this case 18v) for a fraction of a second, and then turn it completely off for the rest of the second, and repeat that. If the 18v is on for 2/3 of a second, and then its 0v for 1/3 a second, it averages out to 12v, which is why the multimeter reads it as 12v, but its not really 12v. I think this project is a case of "It works as long as it continues to work"
Yeah, but the fuse gives you safety, such as if a wire shorts out or the motor does burn up, it will blow the fuse long before it starts a fire under your kids seat. @@TheJoeMoneyShow
Love your videos! I'd like to do the same to both of my kids' power wheels. As well as the 36v minimoto electric pocket bike I recently have acquired. But the bike is more for me until they get older. 😂 but I know NOTHING when it comes to electricity so I don't even know if it's possible to wire a couple 18v lithium ion batteries together. 🤷♂️ or fuse sizes to use.
@@chunkybones668 That sounds normal. There is no way the other guy is getting 4 hours out of 1 battery. You can’t even run a drill for 4 hours straight, let alone a power wheel weighed down with a kid or two.
@@StarFox31 mmm im a roof plummber i use 6amp drill milwauuke lasts atleast 6 hours of constant screwing in screws.so im sure a 10amp or even 9 amp would last easy 4 hours
We use a m18 8.0 hd battery and we get about 50 minutes steadily driving full speed with both kids in it. That is at the full 18 volts. I got a voltage regulator that I’m going to add so the motors don’t burn up from over working. That should also extend the drive time significantly
To fancy... Growing up my dad just ripped out the old battery and thew in a led acid car battery... Did I get burnes yes. But it was the 90s so that's how it goes.
Nice video and thank you for the advice! I just got a really nice ride for my daughter and I'm going to order these parts.. just have a question. How do you charge the battery? Do you charge it directly in the car or do you just take it home? What is the most appropriate way of charging one of these? Being a 18v battery, should it be how many amps? 4A is enough?
The drill battery you will ultimately be using has a charger or should, you can purchase one and they are made to slide right on and charge up Quick. You aren’t altering the battery at all just the USB adapter
So my husband and I are literally going to follow your video step by step next weekend can you tell me exact name of the USB adapter so I can order it on Amazon and exact name and place for the fuse??? Please
Hi. Thanks for the great video .I’m trying to update my boy’s car. Do I need to keep the old controller or I just leave the new speed controller? Thank you
Quick question, can the motor control go any lower than 12 V? I’m trying to swap this into a device that doesn’t need to move fast. Basically walking pace but I have no experience with electronics.
Hello. I have a Power Wheels Suzuki 94 model 86570 ATV. I purchased used at a garage sale and after contacting Mattel I found out that it has been discontinued. I purchased a 12 volt sealed battery and used some 10 gauge wire with quick disconnect spade connectors and was able to get it running. My grandkids were happy. I connected the two red wires from each motor together with the white positive wire and the two blue wires from each motor together with the black negative wire, but after a few minutes of use it blows the 30 amp fuse that I installed inline on the positive wire. Hopefully you can add some insite so this will work. Do I need to install a 30 amp fuse per motor? Thanks in advance
She will handle more than that, my understanding is the motor can handle up to around 30 volts before you begin to see problems. I'm sure you could argue there's some shortened lifespan.
As part of an R/C conversion, the R/C circuit needed 12V, but I was using leftover 40v batteries from an old lawn mower. I found a "Golf CART Voltage Reducer Automatic Buck Boost Converter DC 8V-40V to 12V 6A 72W Step Down Up Regulator Waterproof Module Transformer" which worked like a charm. When my 2yrold ages up I will remove the R/C function and put in the Module DudeDad uses here. But this is a good alternative to use Big Batteries while not causing too much harm now.
We have 9 different power wheels types of ride on vehicles and all have been perfect. Even with me riding my 1 year old. These are fun and now a days, not much else to do.... the worst thing we have found is when kids push not moving power wheels and kill the gears. THAT is something all kids do and is worse. So you are good to go!
I blew the 12v RX11 control board on my sons car. It’s a regular 12v weelye. Should I replace it with the same thing or go for a 24v panel? I only blew it because I didn’t have to control Module and fuse in (ordered them both!) thanks for the advice!
It should still work if you can find a battery holder like this guy had with his Milwaukee battery. The only difference is that the Li Ion batteries will typically have longer battery life/better depth of battery discharge. But they'll still operate the same as they're both 18V batteries.
I did the same thing with a 20v dewalt but caught the wires on fire for the motor. No I have to rewire everything for the power, forward, natural, and im going to upgrade the motors.
Yes. Many drill batteries claim to have over discharge protection however I understand that the tool itself in most cases regulates this and not the battery. I try to periodically check the voltage to avoid over discharging and usually when the car slows down from a full charge that is a pretty good indication to charge it. I wouldn’t recommend running it totally dead if possible. There may be a way to get a speed controller with a low voltage cut off I haven’t really researched that far.
Dont cut it. Get a old charger phone plug. Cut of the prongs, or what ever its called the metal that goes into the wall. And Soder them on to the battery wires. And they will fit tight and perfect into the powerwheel battery plug. Or even drill into the slots with a small screw and leave them half way in. It will be so tight they will not budge. And for a little added Security just rap a little electric tape. So that the wires dont move around and cause the car to sputter!
How did the 12v motors last against the 18v? I just did this but used a voltage regulator and turned it down to 12 volts. Burned up my regulator immediately. Now I just wanna throw 18v right at it
Hey running 18v to one 12v motor or 2 single 6v to make 12v still would burn out the 12v or 6v motors would have to change the motor or motors to meet the voltage would you not ?????
I did this on my kids dune racer, and just like it was doing with the origybattery it's doing with this mod too, it will go for barely one minute and stop and not work for a month or maybe it will in a minute. I don't know what to do to fix it.

I read on some of the Amazon reviews/questions this doesn’t allow reverse to be used any more- is that true ?
When you open that usb adapter is there and obvious positive and negative lead. Where to soder the new leads?
hey man what did you connect to the +p and -p of your volume speed control? is it from the board?
On your amazon buy list a few items are no longer listed can you tell me what exactly I need for the battery adapter?
is the motor able to handle 18 or 24 v without burning up?
How long do the batteries last va the originals?
What type of wires did you use to solder, does that make a difference
If I have a 24v power wheel how would you go about connecting two 18v Makita batteries together to make it work?
How will the engine in it handle the 18 v instead of the 12, is the motor ok with that ?
She will handle more than that, my understanding is the motor can handle up to around 30 volts before you begin to see problems. I'm sure you could argue there's some shortened lifespan.

Did you get the power control off of ebay by chance?
Does the remote control still work with this mod?

They make adapters for this now. You don’t need to get the USB adapter and modify it.
What is the run life on a full battery?
