Pretty sure you would need to change the accelerator if you don’t use a factory Radio Flyer battery. I believe the thin wires are a digital ID that prevent you from using “counterfeit” batteries.

well the motors burned out after just a couple of sessions. I am going to upgrade to some beefier 775 DC motors (the gearbox collar has what looks like enough extra space to accomodate 775s) and mount some heat sinks and open up some holes in the floor under the motors for cooling. the stock...

Hey folks, quick Sunday night update on my progress. I have the ESC hooked up with low/high gear and forward/reverse. High/low is achieved by placing the motors in series for low gear (thus splitting the voltage between the two) or parallel (so both motors get the full voltage) with a clever...

Happy friday all, I made a bit of progress today that I'd like to report. I was able to cut off the nubs that limit the steering angle, I found the easiest way to do that was remove the steering rack entirely and used a dremel metal cutting wheel. I have not driven it yet but it seems like you...
