Will a BBSHD interfere with an ISCG-05 chain guide mount?
I've been contemplating another BBS build, but noticed the frame has an integrated ISCG-05 chain guide mount which I'm pretty sure will interfere with the BBS HD's motor can. My searches are not turning up much data, has anyone run into this and what did they have to do? Assuming it does interfere, ...

Hi brokenblinker, Glad this helped, your duty cycle sounds ideal for an EV! Yep, with the 8 year/100k warrantee on the battery you wouldnt have to worry about it for 5.5 years on a 2015. Even so, it isn't like the pack goes off a cliff in 8 years - most batteries' cycle life is rated until they drop...

Re: 1,000lb "Elec-tow’d” Electric Tow’d Dune Buggy Build Thr
Today is the 4 year anniversary of when I took delivery of the Towdster.
It seems like another lifetime ago, the project took so much time, over so many cycles of hard work and consequent burnout.
