Silent Hunter,
The speed controller does not like the battery being that far away. So you cannot have the battery on your back with a 3 to 4 feet length of wire. It will cause the caps on the speed controller to work harder heating them up and the battery as well. Something...
Awesome project. Can you tell me how much chain I will need to order? What is the lenght of the chain from the big sprocket to the small sprocket?
Thanks
