Its to be painted Metalic black and silver , probably going to work on that this afternoon!




And yes you can Put people in it. the first time I drove it R/c with my freind mike on it- it popped a wheelie and flipped him off the back





As for upgrades- Mike and I are going a bit overkill Using Innovation FIRST CIM motors.

Two of these motors can push our 120lb robot really well and cool- so 2 of them in a 30lb Power wheels-direct driven to the wheels should be fun!


The motors are 433kv, and with the tires on the jeep it doesnt need much voltage to get decent speed... Going to be running 2s2p SMC4100 lipos to the esc. Then run the motors in series so each sees 4.2-3.0v of power.


With this low voltage the motors are still turning 1860rpm (remember thats right to the wheels- no reduction)... Using this calculator

We have come to find that this setup will put us right around 40mph, now who wouldnt like a powerwheels going 40mph! Thats just plain epic
