/diy/ - Do It Yourself

>>1734496
BPROs. (Battery powered ride ons.) Basically any power wheels type cars under 20 bucks and some are a steal at over 300 bucks... find one, get a brand or model number, post on a power wheels modding fb group.

No shit. People buy a fucking $450 power wheels truck for their kid. They ride it around till its smoking fuck dead and then leave it outside in the heat and cold.

>well piece of fucking shot won't charge reeeee.

It sets a few years collecting dust and being in the way. They try and sell it for several hundred off but nobody buys since they have the same problem.

A new gel battery is 9ah and $100 fucking doll hairs because it has a 30 amp breaker built into the lid and a Powerwheels stamp on a $15 battery.

Another year or 2 goes by. The kid is far to old for the piece of shit.

>YARD SALE $20

offer them 10 bucks and walk away with a $400 truck needing only a battery.

There's an ever growing aftermarket for us hotrodders out there.

They are kinda heavy, awkward, and unwieldy to load but i promise you one day after reading this you'll roll by a dingy ass sun faded Gravedigger and instead of the owner tossing it you'll make a $100 finders fee just by giving a powerwheels modder directions to it.

My pull so far.

$5 parts tractor. Nephew stripped a $40 gear box. I spent $40 on a metal 1st gear and modded the yardsale box. It's bulletproof now.

$15 Powerwheels Escalade. Put china made 775 sized motors on in place of stock 12v 550. Ran direct to a relay at 24v. Fucking mini drifter now.

Powerhweels "dune racer." Cost a 20 pack of bud light bottles and did the same. Bought 2 more gearboxes for the races next year. 4x775 motors at 24v and 4 rear tires.

Some offbrand jeep thing was free because i put a fb message out several years ago when i had cuckbook and a buddy dropped it off.

Turned down a ron of 6v because i just don't have the room for more atm. Bit the designs get better and more powerfull daily.
