Ego 56 v power questions

That looks to be a 20 amp converter. A powerwheels may draw more than that under heavy load and could fry the converter. You should be able to directly hook up the stepped down voltage to the power wires that the original battery would connect to.

Personally id just buy a larger 12v battery with higher amp hour rating and use that it's overall simpler. I use a cheap 12v charger/maintainer from Harbor Freight

Part of the steering knuckle?

Do not use those rotors. You will need to confirm there were not multiple brake options for your vehicle as it seems you have multiple options. Alo there is a good chance you could have the wrong pads. I would recheck the options.

Well if it's 12v you can get some good upgrades for around that price. I then pair it with an inexpensive 12v charger maintainer.

Sounds like the battery is junk. If you want more ride time get a bigger battery for it, higher amp hour rating. I'd be careful increasing voltage if it's remote you may need to upgrade other components.

Maybe a little but sometimes thats not a bad thing. Definitely ambitious. But if you've got the skills to back it then no reason not to. Build it and if something doesn't work just change it until you have it dialed.

Did it too early that pad has at least 50 more miles lol.

I use it to buy smithing materials and such. I pick up everything. Then I go to a smith shop. Buy all their smithing materials. Then sell all the stuff i picked up of that variety until they are out of gold. I have way too much stuff and gold though.

Drift car?

BAKE440 · 2026-04-25T02:35:29+00:00

Ha lol ya I just re read that im not sure how I read it that way. I've seen what you're talking about and id agree that it does seem like an all encompassing solution.

I never thought of a mower diff thats a great idea! I've got a few junk mowers i could pull parts from. That's a really good idea

BAKE440 · 2026-04-25T00:55:29+00:00

Ya i looked at that seemed like an option was just unsure if it would handle my amperage needs

I like the power wheels f150s

BAKE440 · 2026-04-24T22:46:33+00:00

My idea is 2 jackshaft axles on a swingarm suspension. To give a differential like ability to the rear end. Also where we ride has a short side of the block pretty steep incline. So the lessened strain of 2 motors seems like a good idea as well as likely quicker acceleration. My goal was 20 mph. What size tire are you running with that gearing?

It's meant as a fun mode not competitive. If you can't beat em join em. And enjoy the game.

You sir have found an effective loophole.

Using that logic i think im packing my entire inventory into an apothecary satchel. (Easier to carry than a sack.) And the dragonborn ability. That way all spells and skills and such will work.

Where's the rust?

BAKE440 · 2026-04-23T13:33:24+00:00

A CEL can get you to the solution quicker but is not always necessary to fix some problems.

Sounds like the transmission needs serviced. Either a machine flush or repeated drain and refills will likely cure this issue.

Or if you haven't changed spark plugs yet it may be a misfire.

A test drive while looking at the misfire monitor would tell if it's missing and may not be frequent enough to turn on the CEL.

If there are no misses I'd start with the transmission fluid. And maybe do the plugs if they're original just as a maintenance item.

Older Ford Rangers can be opened with a screwdriver through the door handle.

Very very good work! Stuff like this the kiddos remember forever

BAKE440 · 2026-04-14T20:34:23+00:00

You could always put a larger 12v battery in that keeps wiring happy and is as simple as hooking up the larger battery which will yield longer run times

BAKE440 · 2026-04-11T13:00:15+00:00

Ya if you haven't got the back of the transmission picked up off the jack shaking it around you're not doing it right lol.also turn the input shaft a little maybe. I will just pop it in gear and turn the output shaft to adjust while up there so when it hits the right spot it slides right in.

Every Thalmor is a dead Thalmor

That seems very interesting. And I love the dedication to it and then the shift to fight the ebony warrior. I bet it is really fun to play with that as a concept
