Course Description

In this course I will teach you everything you need to know step by step by step to make a Power Wheels vehicle go faster using aftermarket batteries. I will go over the exact tools and materials need to complete this course successfully including:

Wire CrimpersInline Fuse HoldersFusesWireBullet and Spade ConnectorsCharger

I will provide direct links to all of the tools and materials I recommend and personally use myself. Then I will teach you the basics of voltage and amp hours along with an introduction to the after market batteries that I recommend. After that I will teach you how to prepare an aftermarket battery for use in a Power Wheels. This includes preparing an inline fuse holder that will replace the built in circuit protection that comes with Power Wheels branded batteries. I will also teach you how remove the stock female connector that you can use with your after market batteries as a way to not have to cut the wires on your vehicle. Then we will go over charging, which charger to buy and why. I will talk about the main benefits of going with an after market charger.

Finally, we will get to the good part where we will wire a 12 volt and a 6 volt battery together in series which will make your vehicle go 50% faster. We will end with some tips and tricks and even let you watch me during a live demo as I do an intake on two vehicles that I just recently picked up from a thrift shop.

You are going to love this course. THIS is the course I wish I would have had when I was getting started. I look forward to seeing what you will build!

Okay, I lied! While filling out the questionnaire, I said I was a complete NEWBIE when actually Ive been studying YouTube clips for the past two weeks! I wanted a little refresher course so I figured Id say my skill level was as low as you can go (to insure I didnt pass anything up! Im so glad I claimed NEWBIEISM or Id never had known how cheap replacement batteries, connectors, wires, and even used cars could be had for! The progressive steps from beginning to end were well planned. I kinda felt like a Freshman back in college and my first class was Batteries 101. Im hooked and will be returning for the next semester!

Helped me to have more fun with my grandchildrens. Lots of tips and tricks. Great course.

By Danny O'Dell on 11/2/2018

I was able to find the things I needed to get my grandkids powerwheels running faster with less time spent looking for the parts I needed to make them work thanks to this video series.
Now I just have to wait for the bills to come in so I can pay for the things I bought.

Detailed info so far. Step by step and in context.

James is an excellent instructor who really has a passion for "supping" up Power Wheels. This was an unusual course for me to take, but it really made the topic interesting and engaging. I am going out this weekend to buy some Power Wheels at the thrift shop with my son and heading to the garage to get tinkering! Highly recommended course for anyone looking for new hobby!

By Jack Sederstrom on 9/14/2017

Cool info. I like it. Well thought out and thorough.

By Brian Hill on 9/5/2017

The instructor really knows what he's talking about here. Love the video showing all the finished cars, and getting right into parts and materials from the start. Going to be a good course.

Perfect! Great Lectures, Thanks a lot

By John Lepinski on 5/16/2017

This is a fantastic course, and I can use the knowledge of batteries, fuses, and connections in other projects too. I love the info on sources to purchase gear, and now I have to take some trips to thrift stores to find my first power wheels project!!!
