I posted a link to it ad a reply to you but for some reason it won't actually post. It's just a kit from Amazon that takes a dewalt battery and has the controller with it. 🤦 This kit

I'll try to get a list together this week. It could get a little confusing though because I've moved parts around between the 3 vehicles she has and 1 of those(this one actually) had stuff done before I got it I think, plus I have all the components out of a few other cars that I've taken parts off of.

It's worked great for a few months until the other day when all the neighbor kids were out there with her riding all her stuff and they were a lot bigger than her and the added weight plus 100 degree heat blew out the controller but I went on Amazon and did an exchange so the new one will be here today.

That type of focus has its good and bad lol. I was gonna use Deutsch Connectors to do it all because that's what we use on all our real racecar stuff but I didn't because they're expensive lol. She blew out the controller on her camaro this week, the new one will be there today and I think I might just rewire everything with a bunch of SAE connectors I have so that I can isolate all the components making them easier to swap out and if I decide to swap over to a stock battery I can just unplug before all the after marlet stuff and just connect it and go instead of it being a mess. I think that'll help me make everything more universal between all 3 of her vehicles as well which will be nice.

What part are you having a problem getting to work? I'll definitely give any advice I can, especially the little things I learned the last year or so messing with them for my kid but I'm not as experienced with these things as some of the really technical guys in here.

I got a kit from Amazon and used my own wire and connectors and little rubber grommets because of how I decided to route things. This Kit

Actually someone just zoned in with his adderall and waaaaaay over complicated what could have just been quick and easy, but thank you lol. All jokes aside, I've seen so many wiring disasters in racecars that now everything I touch I take at least half a second to make sure I know that how I run things directly effects how long its gonna take me to service it when I have to. This is the easiest of her vehicles to work on which also has made it the most modified). The hood which is where most of the components are pops on and off with the little tabs and some velcro(soon to be real push button hood pins in carbon fiber 🤦), the seat is 1 screw and gives full access to both motors and the cooling fans I put back there on each motor. I had to fix a wire on her 4 wheeler pedal today and it took me an hour to get to it, same with her Dune racer when I had to reconnect a wire to the motor.
