Need some advice regards a 12v to 24v ride-on conversion plz
Discussion
Hi, friend bought my son a cheap Chinese ride-on.
It has a Bluetooth remote for parental control too.
It is 12v with 2x 6v batteries.
I have replaced all of the batteries, replacing with 4x 6v 5ah batteries. (I went with 4x 6v due to the space available to put the batteries, could fit 2x 12v into the car.)
I wired it all up and it was great, for about 10 mins, then a pop and an electrical burning smell.
Disconnected the batteries and took a look, the control board is toast, a resistor popped and the board is burnt. It is one of these boards
It's a "Wellye Children's electric toy car 2.4G Bluetooth remote control, reveiver with smooth start function 12V" (I have found and ordered a replacement from China)
There is a 10a fuse that is between the positive (red) connector of the battery and the positive connection to this controller box. Yet the box still fried before the fuse did. I guess that means the voltage was too much for the control box?
Could anyone please reccomend a suitable 24v replacement that would work for this car? It has 3x 12v motors. One of each back wheel for forward/reverse and one connected to the steering column for steering via the Bluetooth parental remote.
I would still like to have a working remote for this if possible.
Or is there a way I can limit the voltage to the board but have the full 24v going to the motors?
Or maybe a way I can use a 24v board for say an electric scooter and also add a parental control unit?
Thank you.

Yeah, I watched loads of YouTube video where it worked, but I guess its was too much for this cheap Chinese thing.
Seems most people upgrade to 18v.
Reason I wanted to up the voltage was to give it more power as its very slow and badly moves on grass. The voltage upgrade worked well. Had way more power and speed, but obviously it killed it.
If worst comes to worst I can simply treat it as having 2 sets of batteries for double the run time.
I just really want to get it working with more power.
Order 2 replacement board. Gonna try it on 18v and see what happens.
Do you have any ideas as to why the board would go pop before the fuse busted?
I think it might be a circuit breaker blade fuse rather than a normal fuse as its in a sealed box.
