how fast does the motors make the power wheels go in comparison from a regular 12v to 24 volt power wheels?

I run these at 18v and they run about 50% faster, it is noticeable. It is not as fast as running a 12v motor at 24 volt, that would double the speed but they will trash the motors very quickly doing that, but they had fun while they lasted. www.modifiedpowerwheels.com has a lot of info on what people have found to work

I never changed to 24 volt. just replaced originals and kept every thing else the same. made it faster. worth while change.

I got mine upto 12.7 mph on 24v. The motors burned out. I've tried them all and the original PW motors hold up best.

These motors are a little faster then stock in 12v. Not as fast as the 24v with stock motors though.

I do not under stand why people want to put these on their moving vehicle. The engine is running, turning an alternator at 1000+rpm. It is better to use the alternator which puts out 12V DC at 40+ amps. These products are for when you are not already running an engine and alternator and need to generate electricity.

Thrust is dependent on the motor, not the 12 volt system. This motor has 50 lbs of thrust. The more amp hours on your battery, the longer the motor will run.

With the brushed motor it will up to about 20-25 mph with the stock battery if I were guessing. After my son drove my brushless we swapped in a Castle Creations sidewinder 4600kv motor esc combo and a 5200mah 2s battery. Now it is closer to 40-45 mph. And is really tough. My son runs his a naked cage as well no body on it. He loves it.

Hello. It depends on what vehicle size you are using it in. I used this as a replacement from the horrible 12T motor in the basic Stampede for my son. The difference is a little bit more speed and a little less torque. Example; the higher the turn motor = more speed and slightly less torque. The one thing I can verify, is that these motors are very reliable even if not broken in properly. Hope this helps!

It won't go 60mph on the standard motor and a 2s lipo. The best you'll get on the standard motor with a 2s is about 35 and a 3s will get you around 45. Both are very fast though. Go to the traxxas website and they will give you the breakdown of the batteries and what speeds you can obtain with each.

I believe they recommend one for a 24v application, maybe because it rotates faster, but I have been running mine at 12v constant speed for over two years and I have no need for the speed controller.

The plate says 12vdc/4amps which is 12vdc/4000ma. Not knowing the specifics of the motor such as peak current. I would say it will drive it as long as peak is less than 4x running load.

I have this in my traxxas summit and its pretty fast. It does depend on the gearing you have, its not typically a fast motor, my summit is just made to go fast. Mine probably runs around 25 mph or so, I never really go as fast as it can.

Good sir, yes very good brushless motor! 4s so 4 x 3.7= a bunch of volts. Have good day.

You need to size the adapter for the current the motor draws to keep it from melting or catching fire. For 12 volt trolling motors it's about 1 amp for each foot pound of thrust. A 55 foot pound motor will draw about 55 amps at full speed. A 20 amp receptacle and plug can't stand that much current. Use the ring terminals supplied with the motor and attach directly to a deep cycle battery.

I only ran this once with the stock motor and speed control to test it out because I bought it to run brushless with the all steel gears that it has. It's not very fast out of the box, probably like 15 mph . I never tried it with a Lipo, I removed the factory motor and esc and put in a 3800kv brushless

24 volt. It's a powerful motor. If you can manage the 2 battery set up, it is worth the $ paid. I love the option of tilting the throttle up and down.

If it is brushed about 25mph on 2s battery if it is brushless 32-35mph on 2s

Thanks for the inquiry. Depending on mode and battery used can reach speeds up to around 25 mph Best regards Richard

2 x 12 volt batteries = 24 volt. Add another 12 V. battery to get 36 volts and faster cart.

Don't Do It. The motor is a 12 volt NOT 24 v and I'd expect you'd damage it. Now, if you put the batteries in Parallel ( + to + to + motor terminal and - to - to - terminal on the motor) you would probably extend running time considerably but remain at 12 volts. Call the manufacturer to be sure. Properly powered this is a good little motor.
