Jeep Hotwheels
 

Came across a website that modifies the hotwheels voltage to 24v instead of
12 or 6... has some videos of them moving 8mph. Wish I had one when I was a
kid.

Was a not uncommon mod for electric toy cars back when. Motors tended
to have shorter lives but were more fun for that time. Tried to cool
the motor on the kid's car after putting two chargeable batteries in
series, but apparently it wasn't enough. As much fun was taking Dremel
to a model car or plane engine and lightening the heck out of the piston
from the underside, then run Missile Mist for a few glorified minutes of
speed before meltdown.
