 It's a Power Wheels that's been converted to an R/C. It runs on 2 550 motors, so I just put an EVX into it. Steering still doesn't work, but that's next. |

I'm not sure how fast it goes....stock it used two 6 volt batteries....now it runs on two 7.2 batteries. I tested it once when the body was off. It was able to pull the front wheels about an inch off the ground ;D

Your proably going to drain batteries pretty fast (depending on how many Mah your batts have)

3300 GP matched cells. I'm going to get the hood autographed at Monster Jam....that and a Grave Digger flag on one side and an American flag on the other will be the finishing touches (along with Reedy Monster Maxx motors). It weighs less then my E Maxx did and it had a 15 minute run time with the same motors, batteries, esc, etc.

Metal gear servo mounted where the steering shaft went. Atleast, thats the plan.

It better be a fairly strong servo.

That's amazing. I never would have thought of making a kid's toy into R/C! The 550's seem small to me for such a big vehicle but I guess the fact that it's pure lightweight plactic makes up for it. Get a video sometime! BTW, the pic doesn't work.

Yeah a vid would be cool. I doubt it goes to fast, considering it is proabably geared real low with such small motors.
