Inline fuse– This is absolutely critical for the safety of your kid.For example, if you go for 4mm machine screws, you need same size washers. They should match your machine screw size. Washers for the machine screws– these are needed to space the motors in the gearboxes to set pinion gear depth.Machine screws (for mounting)– these should be longer than stock motor screws. In addition to the correct pinion gear for the motor shaft size, you might need some extra components to install these properly into your Power Wheels gearboxes. If you want a different option, this 775s motor feeds off 16.8 Volts and runs on 18v upgraded power wheels with no issues (and they give it way more torque/speed than stock motors).īe sure to get the right gear depending on the motor shaft size – The above motors generally need new pinions to fit the larger/thicker motor shafts so you’ll need to know the pinion tooth count to be able to order the correct pinion gear (You can search for them on Amazon as well).ĭon’t worry about fitting the gear- With basic modifications to your power wheels gearbox, you should make it fit. I would suggest you try the RS-550s 18v DC motor- it’s a very popular choice for Power Wheels 18v upgrade. I cannot tell for sure what motors will fit as I don’t have your Power Wheels here but there are great choices out there (you need two). Otherwise, they will burn out due to stepped-up voltage (the original motors windings are likely to be overwhelmed at some point). If possible, select batteries that fit the provided battery space in your power wheels.īut that should not worry you if not possible since you can modify the compartment to accommodate the batteries (more later)įor your 12v power wheels to 18v upgrade, you definitely need to swap out the stock motors too. Important: Whatever batteries you pick, make sure they have equal Ah(amp hour) ratings. One 12v battery– This is its counterpart (12V, 12.0 AH) and should work well (the price is fair too).One 6v battery– This 6V, 12.0 AH SLA rechargeable battery comes at a much lower cost than the power wheels branded version.Here are the after-market batteries (we prefer them as they are inexpensive) you will need: Requirements:įor this 12 volt power wheel conversion, you must upgrade the battery. This project will we will be looking at how to upgrade to 18v (we will be doing a 12v power wheels to 24v upgrade in the next article so keep it here). So to proceed with our series about how to make a ride on car faster, below is how to make 12v power wheels faster: How to make 12v power wheels faster We are still looking at how to make power wheels faster and after seeing how to make 6v power wheels faster, we will now turn our attention to making a 12v power wheels go faster.
