Power Wheel Racing Series

Here is the power wheel I have been working on for the last few months. This at one point was a 12v childrens toy. Now a 36v 1000W 21 MPH current slamming demon! Code Name: Big Brown

Shortly after this picture the front end came apart and had to jump off. Note To Self: Torque down front end parts!

Here is the rear end of the power wheel body mounted to the frame. It's starting to look more like a car.

Here is the modified car next to a stock one. Big Brown is track worthy at this point but I  need to add a couple more things. I need gages that will display data Like Current, Voltage and MPH and Moxey. Moxy is when you add stuff to your car to make it that much more ridiculous like a car stereo , Nerf Guns, Confetti Thrower , Paint Job , Headlights, Ect...
