all the perks

He's got all the perks.....he's got a power wheels race car, two 4 wheelers, the F-150 ( I need to make a trailer now so he can haul them, lol)

The grille is the Chrome over plastic Roush grille I just cut down to fit. I'm going to make another that fits even better, but that was the first attempt.Maybe find a way to make a lower fit in there but the front plate area is in the way some.

Let me know if you wanna add some power!
Ive been talking to my kids about making theres faster and now they ask me everyday to make it faster. Ive read a few things on it and watched a few youtube videos. I think its that time. One question with the 18v conversion does the batterys last the same amount of time or is it more or less?

I tried this conversion with an old power wheels jeep a lady at work gave us. That thing would smoke the tires on asphalt. Ran into a minor problem though. Seems the stock wiring wasn't correct gauge and ended up melting all of it.

I would paint the headlights black. Now remember to preheat the oven to 250 degrees and only bake them in there for ten minutes



That's pretty cool
