I'm about to re-power my old Bigfoot power wheels for my nephew. A couple of Titan 550's will be my replacement motors.
I ran 6s1p A123 in my son's Bigfoot power wheels. The motors and gears held up as long as he stayed onroad. Homeboy decided to drive through grass and run up a hill. Needless to say he burned the motors up and messed up a gearbox. It wouldn't of happend if I didn't take that fuse out.
I added a resistor to the brake, so the wheels didn't lock up and saves the tranny.
