- Discover how to build a high torque 40V Power Wheel that's powerful enough to drive an adult! In this comprehensive DIY video, we’ll walk you through the step-by-step process, highlighting what to do and what to avoid. Learn about the best components and modifications to transform your Power Wheel into a high-performance machine.
NOTE: I forgot to mention in the video I had replace my gearbox and motors with a 24V High powered one. That is very important to achieve this torque along with a 40V battery.
Recommended Parts:
24V Motor/Gearbox Assembly: amzn.to/3xHSe7J
PWM Voltage Regulator: amzn.to/4eCTPwm
40V Battery Adapter: amzn.to/4cg3pnr
Variable Speed Pedal: amzn.to/3XGz250
12V Breakout: amzn.to/3XEUN52
BMX Tires: amzn.to/3VyGo7O

This is awesome man. Glad I found your video. About to buy one of these for my son's 3rd bday and mod it. Any other mods you want to do to this thing for performance? Did you ever look into a brake pedal?
@@MarkSims88 so glad to hear that! This has been my son’s favorite toy for a loooong time! Mods, depends on the end desire, what I love about this one is how robust it is. I previously made it faster, but things would fry out. Now it is a beast.
Brake pedal - with this exact setup I’d say it is unnecessary as the resistance in the gearbox slows it down quickly. However, I did a build before this show and I tricked out a friend’s power wheel and I installed a proximity sensor as a throttle kill switch to ensure the kids couldn’t hit an object.
The Batmobile build is really quick and doesn’t slow down as well. You am have me in ponder mode 🤔
It seems to me that you could have easily put another 40 volt receptacle on the other side, and had two batteries in parallel. This would have allowed for twice the runtime, and also allowed you to take out one and charge it independently, if necessary. You could have three batteries & always have one in the charger. I know they are a bit expensive, especially compared to the 18 volt packs, though. I personally have four 18V packs, and I have a dual charger. I have two in the vehicle, and I step the system down to 12V, and I run it basically stock, which gives good run time.
I've found that the 1 40V is incredibly sufficient for battery life, even after long drives it is always 1/2 full. With the 18V I've had 2 different batteries die, they still work for my tools, but no longer can be the power supply to the car. Going forward I think I will use 40V always. I still want to build a car that will be even faster, considering making a 4wd system.
@@SuperchargedPlaytime I have been using 7Ah packs, which I can get for 2 for $50. For the price, they have been working fine for me. I have a 6v Countryman, that I am running at 12v, via a step down converter. I can run it with either one or two batteries. When finished, it will be an Arduino controlled robot, so it's running unloaded.
For 4WD, there are some pretty good non PowerWheels generic vehicles. One that I've had my eye on, is a six wheeled UTV that has an electric dump bed on it. I am trying to work on a differential program, that will allow the wheels to turn at different speeds, to give a 4WD program a bit better performance. This should reduce some understeer.
So if I do this for a 24v would I only change the step down?
If you already have a 24v system the 40V battery and the PWM speed controller would go straight in.
@@SuperchargedPlaytime would I not need a step down to keep my engine from burning up?
