While taking the steering wheel and shaft out of the truck, I decided that it was too big of a pain in the butt to fight those stupid push clips that hold the shaft in the steering linkage. One quick measurement and oh yeah....its close enough of a diameter to add 3/8-24 threads to it....

Used a 3/8-24 die to cut threads onto the steering shaft. 3/8-16 may work also, but I had the 24 pitch nut right there.

Kids tend to just clamp down on the nitrous button, I keep telling my 4YO not to launch while holding the button down but he doesn't listen..
Not sure I would go to a 12v boost battery unless you get some fans in there to cool the motors at 24v most motors won't last long.
I use 4 fans and have considered going 18v PLUS a 12v boost, only thing holding me back is the thought of having to spend another $70 for two motors. |

| Hey forgot to mention if you do go 24v glue or screw a BMX tire onto the front wheels to help him keep straight There's a great video online. In 24v my 4yo would turn the wheels and the truck would still go straight! |

If you put two nitrous buttons in series, one on each side of the steering wheel, it at least makes him keep his hands on the wheel while going fast  |

My 4YO sees his brother standing up or hopping on his Razor motorcycle and has recently tried to "ghost drive" while going down the street.
I had just commented to my wife that maybe I should mount a second gas pedal up top so that he could "surf"
she was not amused! |
