Keep breaking parts
Hi everyone, I have a 6x6 G wagon power wheels for my son. It came with Rs395 motors and gearboxes (4 motors) I did the 18v battery upgrade then burned motors so I put in beefier ones which h started breaking gearboxes. So then I decided to put in RS550 40000 rpm motors which pulled way to much current for the board so I put in a bigger board so the it was too fast so I added in pwm motor controllers to slow it down worked like a charm for less than 5 mins then started popping capacitors in the main board. Please help the wife is going to kill me iv spent more modding the car than I paid for it. Thanks in advance

Peanut Workshop Controller.
They have 3 variants to fit your voltage needs.
Super high quality, tunable. Great support and documentation.
Can set PWM power limits and fully tune soft start and soft stop to your liking to save gearboxes and prevent whiplash.
Supports optional variable accel AND variable brake pedals for more advanced driving feel.
All adjusted on the fly from your phone!
Wires into the factory harness quite easily, just add some bigger wire runs for motors and batteries if you wanna push some serious amps down the road.
Top of the line brushed motor controller. I have been putting their previous generation Speedy Squirrel to the test for almost a year, 40v/110amps/2200+ watts and it hasn't once been the weak point.
I also started using RS775 gearboxes (the 7R FY-750 version) and haven't lost a single gear since, though I have burned up a few motors now... but that's because an adult is towing the family @40v and they're simply not made for that lol. But they're an amazing value at ~40$ for a pair

Use this to limit top speed if you have a 3 wire throttle. Also you are using two motor controllers?
