A while ago I converted my baby's electric car into an rc overpowered kids car. After a few weeks of testing I finally got it going very well. I run it on 3 different voltages. 11.1v - 14.4v - 22v.

To much of my wife's distress I got to a skate park today.
In the pic I am just holding it straight as it is 1 wheel drive (putting a hpi baja diff in this week).

On 11.1v good for normal walking, 14.4 fast walk and wheelies as below, 22v is just scary ( to much for him atm ). It is almost 100% rc as the steering servo is fixed although he can still use the foot throttle which does catch me out.

Also good for walking the dog. I can see plenty hrs of fun to be had with this especially when he is old enough for 22volts

That awesome. You can sit in the park and have the kid lead the dog around the park and they both get entertained

Standard Safety Sam parent here:

Have you set the failsafe on the Rx to drop the throttle if it loses connection?
A bike helmet might be good insurance as well...

Great idea though, my little tacker might just get some 'upgrades' to his push car soon...

But cripes 6S on one of those? Yowza!!

It's a start, but 6S batteries are really only good for one thing.....connecting in series.

I think a brushless upgrade is in order here. This one should fit the bill...

XLNT - DEFINITELY GO THE HELMET - SUGGEST HAVE A LOOK AT HOW SOLID THE UNDERCARRIAGE IS -
YOUR POOCH IS GOING TO BE V.FIT!!
GOPRO MOUNT TO CAPTURE THOSE EXPRESSIONS..
MAKE ANOTHER FOR PLAY-OVER MATE!! - GOOD BONDING THING FOR THE DAD'S
PICS OF THE ADDITIONS WOULD BE G8 TOO...
Perhaps think of some form of fail safe - to cut power if transmitter signal stops

cheers
