Back in the day, when my son got his first "Electric Powered" Toy R Us Jeep, the litte tiny battery just wouldn't cut it.
SO........ I cut out some of the plastic where the old battery was and installed a Gel Cell wheel chair battery. Now that rascal would run for hours at top speed and my "Proff Battery Charger" would charge it up in 15 minutes! He wore out three set's of back wheels, spinning them so much. Without doubt he had the fastest "Jeep" in the nieghborhood. The kids would tie their wagons and such on the back of the Jeep and "we got us a convoy", as much as 4 or 5 tag alongs behind him.
Of course I had to "up-grade" the fuse box and the throttle switch burned out a few times (melting into the floor), but that Jeep was the "ever ready" bunny I tell you! And what wheelies that thing could pull on a hill.
Just call me, "Mr. Home Improvement"
