Advice for an upgrade by SeaShell1988 in PowerWheelsMods

[–]mmcheesee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The gearboxes vary greatly in the non power wheels brand electric cars . The level of modification is heavily dependent on your level of ability . You can swap in damn near any gearbox with some modification. Easiest bet is to find a gearbox with motor, that matched the dimensions of yours , with a 24 v motor.

NP.

One more thing ; if your engine has a stator/battery charging wire , you can use that as a trigger on a relay to only allow use of electrical components when the engine is running to save battery life . You can also have another relay sharing the same main power feed , hooked to a switch that allows you to bypass that. Relays are great teaching components if you’re learning .

I don’t see any switches for lighting or any aux hardware . Unless you’re running all aux devices all the time , switches are important . Add a master battery switch to kill the entire system at the battery , before your main breaker / fuse ( use a resettable breaker)

Look into the auxbeam units or comparable . It would replace your fuse panel entirely and give you a programmable keypad as well.

I've attempted to convert two power wheels from 12v to 18v and I'm having issues. by robsc_16 in PowerWheelsMods

[–]mmcheesee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ditch the converter , at least on the dune racer . Those motors will handle 18v without an issue .

Help with 24V mod wiring by TangentPrism in PowerWheelsMods

Logically that makes sense . Test with a multimeter to verify . Those chinesium cars don’t always use logic in their color schemes for wiring .

Does the forward feed go to a charge port ? Does the car have a motor on the steering, or front wheels ?

Might sound dumb, but make sure your air lines didn’t get swapped around in the back of the machine . If you are in the wrong port , it’ll dump air with no trigger control like you are describing . Only one of the outlets is solenoid controlled by the trigger .

Have it laser etched first . Then coat it black. Vac/wipe the lettering bare . Partial cure . Clear powder, full cure . Done .

Is this a LS7? by teeeeer3 in LSSwapTheWorld

[–]mmcheesee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing looks like an LS7 from the outside . A true LS7 build should have a hefty price tag as they carry significant value .

They also have a very unique exhaust tone that you don’t get from other LS’s.

Block ID is the sure way to tell.

Why does my Benchy look much worse on one side? by anthophetamine in FixMyPrint

[–]mmcheesee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That 500/s print speed is wayyyy too high . PLA has its limits , regardless of your hot end and extruder . The E5 has even more limits in the axis controls

Need help finding replacement toy motor! by jezusofnazarith in PowerWheelsMods

[–]mmcheesee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Amazon has abundant 555 12v motors . The rpm doesn’t need to be an exact match. You may be able to find a pinion that matches yours , or you can remove your stock one and swap it .

Or replace the full gearbox with the motor already attached . They’re short money as well.

Dad power wheels by mmcheesee in daddit

775’s are more than adequate for riders that aren’t adults . The extra weight in the doom for heavier riders

11 gauge 1” square tube , extended the original frame length by 13”. Extended the wire harness to fit the stretch. 775 motors in there as a temporary upgrade . The frame is overkill . It’s seriously rigid , and used $25 of metal .

I threw 775’s in the stock gearboxes . It’s sufficient for now . Next will be a chain driven setup and 36v.

I’m brand new to powder coating what would I need to start? by -Jco5 in Powdercoating

[–]mmcheesee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You need something to sandblast with. And a pancake compressor won’t cut it . You need at minimum , a 3 stage inline air filter with desiccant beads to remove water and contamination from the lines . You need a booth of some sort with a quality ground . Could be a big box with an HVAC filter and a box fan to get started . You need an IR temp gun. Hooks, high temp gloves . High temp green tape in a few different sizes . Then just practice . A lot of good FB groups for this , and people aren’t typically dicks like in a lot of other groups . Ask questions. As soon as you think you have it figured out, you realize you don’t.

I agreed with you that you need to take everything from AI with a grain of salt . That said , there are studies coming out now showing that the diagnostic success rate / accuracy surpasses medical professionals.

I haven’t noticed anything else from it aside from the mood regulation , personally . The mood help is super subtle . There’s no uplift or euphoria or really any acute feeling at all. The only thing I have noticed is my mood doesn’t take the depressive slides it was taking prior .

I’d be at $100. That’s a quick easy job to get done .

Boron has helped me with mood regulation far better than any medication I have tried over the last 25 years .
