 oh look bananas no no batteries for 12 volt batteries what's up Bells, we're gonna run you over with this car move it move it oh can you move that metal? we can't put the battery here because those are where the motor is I didn't even look on this side before alright where's the second battery go? stupid things I already made the piece for it oh I feel so retired you know if these batteries were half a centimeter shorter they would have fit right in here right under the floor that's why I had to build this extra little piece that's actually lower than what was in there but since I can't put one on the other side let me think alright two kids still sit there I don't want you way over to the side sit up against the battery as much as you can I guess that's not bad for me it's not gonna matter because if I sit in there I have to sit way back between the two wheels anyway so I'm right in the middle as long as two kids can still fit maybe that's alright I didn't want to put the battery here and over there because then it took up too much space there was one down there one at the bottom and one over there I think it's fine it's just a silly car we're driving around round here anyway isn't that steering awesome I love that steering let's get a look at it and move it turn all the way one way keep going keep going all the way one way now go all the way the other way oh it's so good okay go all the way the other way nice steering you even have a smile while you're doing it I can steer now you can steer go ahead that's gonna be terrifying when she can drive this thing you have to make sure you don't drive off the island into the ocean right why is part of your face blue green maybe I'll put it down there I also didn't want to put two batteries down here because it blocks people from getting in but oh yep here we go she just tried to get in the other way but yeah little kids can get in this way big kids can just step over the battery so it doesn't matter yeah let's put it down there no don't touch it that's a better spot we still have space for foot pedals and if your butt comes over here a little more that's fine I just put an extra piece of reinforcement on the differential back here this is a weird differential that I made out of weirdness anyway good and then I realized oh I also put batteries in there's one here and one down over there right and then I realized hey if I stick these wires to those batteries I should be good to go obviously I don't want it to you know permanently be like that but just for a quick test I have no speeds it's just full speed and stop if I'm just attaching the wires yeah I'll put some speeds in and some switches and stuff but I just want to play with it alright something between this thing is pretty strong oh no I need reverse to get around the corner I don't have reverse hold on hold on I need a slightly wider track here or I need to put the switch in for reverse oh man this is so fun though I can't wait to I gotta get the reverse switch in here and then get my kids butts in here oh they're gonna love it okay if I get the forward and reverse switch in there and maybe I could just make it a switch that has two speeds forward two speeds reverse and use some used all my nichrome wire I used a bunch of nichrome wire a piece of nichrome wire to control on one of my boats and I love it oh it's amazing it does waste a bit of electricity went on the slower speeds but oh it's so reliable it works so well meanwhile any of the electronic speed controls I have they work most of the time I have had one burn out on me before that sucked luckily I wasn't far from home and then every once in a while I get in there and check for loose connections and stuff but man this while we're walking down here now might as well take a look at it yeah this just resistive coil of wire high resistance wire it's amazing speed control totally worth a little bit of energy it wastes so that speed control is on this boat yeah here palm tree yeah this is speed control and there's a switch over there that tells you electricity to go through one part of it or through the whole thing or it takes totally bypass it so full speed is actually super efficient but anyway I need another piece of that wire to do the speed control on the kid car that would be great look at this what are you doing go away hello that clickity clack sound in the car that's just the chain the drive chain it like rubs on this little piece of metal and I could cut the little piece of metal out of the way although I kind of like that it makes a bunch of noise so that everyone knows when someone's driving the car because kids are going to be driving this car so I want it to be noisy so everyone's aware that it's moving so no one gets you know snuck up on and run over anyway okay I need to get another piece of that nichrome wire for the speed control which would take weeks to get here although I also have one of these this is just a big resistor I don't know what the resistance on it is I could just go test it on the car though yeah so this is definitely an option so the way I would use this if I use this for a speed control is the full speed I'd have the switch just connect the motor directly to the batteries but then the slow speed the battery the batteries would be connected to the motor through here so the electricity would have to go all the way through this coil so that would slow it down so that would be the slower speed and if I have like a two part switch forward and a two part switch in reverse I can have slow speed, fast speed slow speed, fast speed, forward and reverse so that coil might work either way I can make the switch now and just put a spot in where I screw whatever resistive coil either that one or if I have to get something else in there and I can switch it out to whatever whatever it needs to be one thing I'm really optimistic about is that car seemed pretty strong like when I started it was like it doesn't go fast but it really jerked forward like I had a lot of strength like it just went right into its full speed obviously yes it wasn't fast but it's got a lot of force and I was hoping it would I'm hoping it'll be able to go up some pretty decent hills because I want to be able to drive it from down here up the path up to the top of the hill and I think there's a pretty good chance even with me in it so I'm hoping that that will be good that would be awesome that would be so cool if it's actually strong enough to get up and down the hill it could drive everywhere on the island that would be so great I didn't want to make it a really fast kid car probably because I don't want anyone to get run over but also I also don't want anyone to crash or anything but I also wanted to just give it more strength and speed so it can get up and down hills and stuff alright I'm going to go do something else now it might be dinner time
