Here's what 65Kw can do in a 1240 lb vehicle: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W7qHHbTEPa0 That's scary enough winding out 2nd gear doing over 80 mph on the highway. I can't imagine having 300 Kw of electric in a smaller frame.

Awesome. FWD it is. It was an older "Pride Victory" scooter. The stock controller was 70A model. The old scooter probably weighed 80 pounds and supported 350+ lb people in stock format, able to climb slight hills. This knee scooter probably weighs about 30 pounds. The Kelly does have a ramp...

Ok, so modified a mobility scooter a while back: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ib5SEWjYTJ0 I machined out the wheel hubs to fit larger wheels and slight over-volted it with a 8S LIPO setup. It lasted for years, but the controller finally died the other day after hours of kids off-road...

Story time: I recently had a bad throttle situation on my dune buggy. When driving around the previous day, my controller cutoff... so I knew something wasn't right. I pulled over safely, checked things out and couldn't find anything obvious, so I restarted the controller and everything seemed...

The driveshaft is facing toward the front of the car (side with the fan is in the back). You can kind of see it in the pic above, attached to the rear transaxle. I realize the fan is designed to pull the air through the motor, then redirect it over the case. I'm not sure how great the air...

Ever since I downgraded from the 650A to the 550A model controller, it hasn't been able to keep up the continuous power handling with no water cooling. I happened to have some PC liquid cooling parts lying around, so I thought I'd give them a whirl. The radiator is hilariously small, but it's...

I had some wheelchair motors. These are insanely heavy duty brushed motors made for pushing fat people around town. The motor is 24v, and can be over-volted. It has a gear down reduction, and the shaft goes perpendicular (off the side) of the gearbox. It also has an indention that easily makes...

I would love to see some acceleration runs on that thing :mrgreen:

I honestly didn't open the box that far to check. Is there an easy way to differentiate between the two? I thought they were all kind of mounted near the back by the aux shaft. I read about yours going and taking out a controller with it. I couldn't afford another controller at this point, so...

Look what came in the mail! :mrgreen: Got a 1000A continuous Gigavac maintenance switch, automotive grade adjustable temp fan & pump switch, dual wiring harness with potted opto isolator, curtis connector covers for a nice look, water chill plates, and two 1238-7601 controllers are...

I don't believe so; they have that in order as of yesterday, and it's finally ready to ship. Shouldn't be too much longer until I get all the goodies in the mail. I think the only thing I'm missing is the main pack fuse and one more individual controller fuse. I'll be able to do motor testing...

As long as you're using a charge controller to limit the amps being fed between the two packs, I wouldn't see a problem with it. It would be the worst idea ever if you didn't use a charge controller though, because the only thing that would dictate the charge rate would be the voltage...

Ok, so here's the story: I bought the AC35x2 /w rear aux shaft second hand without the controllers, never used. I was hoping to quickly rig my own two controllers on it: 1238-7601 (650A) & 1238-7501 (550A) I then discovered that motor required a special wiring harness with opto-isolator to...

I'm not sure what you mean by "one more cell" being enough. For a fast charger? Of what? By the way, the rear cover looks great. It's nice to be able to tell if mods like that make a difference just by monitoring cruising power consumption.

So correct me if I'm wrong here. You're running 48S1P 160A Winston LiFePO4 cells. Going uphill you've got sag to 132v pack voltage, which equates to 2.75v per cell under max load. Total pack weight, 282 kg (620 lb) for ~24.5 kWh at 100% DOD. If you were to swap to Tesla modules, you could do...
