I am trying to do a project and in need of some help. I bought my son a Fisher Price Power Wheels Jeep several years ago and he has outgrown it now. I am wanting to turn it into an RC vehicle now.

I have never built any RC anything before so I dont know where to start or even if this can be done or not. The vehicle is a power wheels jeep and is powered by a single 12 volt car battery. The vehicle also has 2 speed forward and single speed reverse as well. I would like to maintain these functions and also have full steering control as well.

If any of you have ever done this, or perhaps no someone that has, and can point me in the right direction of stuff I need to do this I would greatly appreciate it. I need this to be effective yet pocket friendly. I am not looking for a lot of bling bling or anything on this, just something I can do as cheap as possible and still maintain the functions listed above. I forgot to mention that the finished weight of this project will be about 150-175 pounds so I will need something for effective steering.

Here is a pic of a Power Wheel incase some of you arent sure of what one is.



Thanks in advance for your help,
Craig
