I've been posting some questions about various things and was suggested to make a build thread, so this is what it's all about:
I want to build a brushless controller.
I will be building a go cart as a test platform for my controller.
The motor I have in mind is the ME0907, so I will be building the controller to meet the needs of that motor (or maybe I will build it overkill to work with bigger motors)
so, here's the cart I bought (50$):
The only upgrades I have planned for the cart is to cut it in half and add a couple of feet to make it human size, and install a live axle (and brakes I suppose).
The plan is to use heavy, crappy, inefficient lead acid batteries from walmart because they're cheap. If the controller works out, I will redesign this whole thing using sleeker technology, maybe a new cart, or a bike, or quad, or car. don't know yet.
So, opinions? am I wasting my time trying to make a high power brushless controller?
is my cart too shitty to make a viable electric vehicle?
EDIT: liveforphysics bitch-slapped my brushless idea, so I am now leaning towards making a brushed controller
