What to do when it doesn't work
 
Today my wife was talking to our daughter-in-law and our 3 year old grandson
was having issues with his battery powered jeep. He has out grown the one
he has and it does not have the power it once did. He could not keep up
with his sisters jeep so he got out stomped his feet and kicked it, threw
his hands in the air and said I want a newer one. They learn so young.

Grandpa should put in a Briggs and Stratton.

I agree. Call up Binford and do it up Tim-the-toolman style! Be sure to get
the grunt right after you say 'power jeep 5000'.

Hmm, not replace the battery with an Optima deep cycle, double the wire
guage to the motor, and add cooling fins to the motor using Arctic
Silver?

Oh No, it's not duct tape.
It's "a unique high-density filling of micronized silver and enhanced
thermally conductive ceramic particles"

In the computer world if you want to go faster AND stay cool, this is

..... and hopefully his reward for this behavior was an abrupt warming of the
seat of his pants and the loss of his driving privileges for several
days...???

There is actually quite a lot of information out there about powering up
your Power Wheels.
I have been looking at some with thoughts of (nearly) my three year old
grandson's little Jeep.

Here's just a quick link
http://www.modifiedpowerwheels.com/

If you google, you can find a TON of information, enough to overwhelm you.

BUT they may want to wait awhile so as not to reward him for throwing a
hissy fit.
Maybe give him some little jobs that he can do to earn a new one and some
upgrades.
