PowerWheels Racing: Gravedigger Motor

by Ben N on April 28, 2010


The Milwaukee Makerspace is at it again!

This time, participating in “Power Wheels Racing” – modifying stock kids electric vehicles for more power to compete against other teams in tug-of-war, races, and maybe even PowerWheels Polo.

Gravedigger is so big, that if it weren’t stock, it would exceed the rules about vehicle size! We actually had to call in and check on that!

These motors are from RV power jacks. They are 12v DC motors with a little gear box built it. If they can lift an RV, they can push a toy car!

We’ll keep you updated with more videos in the future.
