Kids Trax Power Wheels 6v to 18v mod

I modified our 6v 4 wheeler to a 18v cordless drill lithium-ion battery.

    this motor is NOT a drop in replacement. I had to redrill some mounting holes to get the sprocket to line up. Also the cheap kidd traxx gear box wont handle this for long. Eventually the more powerful motor will wear out these gears. At that point, Ill decide to do a total rehaul? or upgrade to a bigger power wheels. IT is VERY fast with my 30lb 2 year old son! Faster than he can actually handle. My 5 year old daughter handles it fine, but she is really too big at 41lbs.

    I built my kids a 20 cell 12V lithium battery for their normally 6V power wheel Lil' Quad and changed the motor and gearbox to a higher rpm 6/12V unit and this thing hauls. The lithium battery is alot lighter weight than the factory acid battery so that alone makes it faster. It runs all day long without heating up or running down and it's so fast that when I take them around the block I have to run the entire time to keep up with it. It carries my 2 and 3 year old kids together with no problem, combined the kid's weight is 75 lbs.

    So, I did this... then the gears stripped on two separate four wheelers within 1 min. It would kinda be cool to see a slipper clutch like an RC car. I also thought about just transferring the whole gear box, motor, electronics from a 12v power wheels. It would be 2 speed with reverse. Then run an 18v battery.

    the Milwaukee I used has slots. so a spade or a ring connector slides right in perfect. sometimes, on big bumps it will pop out, but thats fine! I like them loose so I can swap to fresh pretty easily. wiring is just per the package in the speed controller. The bat power goes into the speed controller and then to the motor. It is really WAY easy. I am not a pro, I have very basic electrical knowledge.

    The stops are molded in the plastic body. you can easily cut them back and increase turning radius. I did this! just a razor knife no problem. Start small! if you go too much it turns too much and can be unstable. but mine does good dounuts with the right driver!
