Modified Power Wheels Forum

<r>I see your wants have changed and I am glad. I would say hold off on the remote kill and power upgrades too. I know this is a modified forum but I have been where you are. I got the same one for my daughter a few years back. Its also what brought me here. I chose to leave the quad as it was and l...

I think I know where I am headed after work. :lol:

<r>Nice work. =) <br/> <br/> <br/> Are the wheels off of this one rubber?

<r><QUOTE author="tinydancer"><s>[quote="tinydancer"]</s>I have a funny story about this little VW. About two years ago I was driving along minding my own business and saw a small cabrio sticking out of someone's garbage, so, of course I stopped and fished it out. It was a great looking little ride ...

Nicely done.

<r>Thanks! I am pretty happy with it. Its actually Cosmic Green. But yes, its a MK4 color. <E>:evil:</E> <br/> <br/> It took much longer than I anticipated but only because I do not like doing things twice if I can help it. I have had some time now to feild test. It works great when my daugter is in...

<r>I did not get to do any video yesterday, but my buddy got this part at the show. I had yoda's hands zip tied loosely to the steering wheel. apparently too loosely. <br/> <br/> Check it out. BTW, Yoda also gave my daughter, now 4 a ride in it. the car did great with her in it via remote control. s...

<r>Haha, ok. I was not sure if anyone was still watching this. Its taken me forever, I will have it put together this weekend for a show.

Well, she lives... :>] Radio Controlled VW Cabby is a reality. Paint and wire routing is next. Maybe a video too if anyone is interested.

<r><QUOTE author="grammy"><s>[quote="grammy"]</s>Hi, I have a VW Cabby convertible that we have had since we bought it. We owned a VW/Audi dealership in 1981 to 1991. VW was promoting the new Cabby ('81)by giving dealers this kid's ride on battery operated car to sell to customers. It is exactly lik...

<r><QUOTE author="Jornum1"><s>[quote="Jornum1"]</s>The esc is by a company called pro boat. Its intended for a boat as the name would imply.

<r>Well, while at work, i figured there was a slim chance i would find the ESC manual if i even have it, so I went home and fiddled with it a bit, and figured out which way it worked.. <br/> <br/> It works! Now i just need to mount up the servo, do the linkage and rewire it. <E>:twisted:</E> <br/> <...

<t>all these failures on the same side would seem to point more to something upstream from the motor. Replacing the motor again without finding the cause is going to lead to further frustrations.<br/> <br/> Resistance was mentioned above.. that would be my guess as well. do you have a multimeter to ...

Nice work.. I think keeping the decals simple will help when she grows out of elmo. Its hard to belive how many characters they get facinated with and eventually toss to the curb lol.

<r><QUOTE author="Jornum1"><s>[quote="Jornum1"]</s>Wiring is pretty simple, basically what you posted there. Just wire the motors up in parallel, thats about it. <br/> <br/> Just a FYI I know there was another member who had success with that esc, but I did not. Mine burnt up on me after only using ...

thank you for the well documented project here. I am picking up a project has been on ice forever, and a quick scan of this thread seams to answer most of the questions i had unanswered in my head with regard to R/C wiring and power.
