    C Cab Hot Rod Power Advice

    OK, I will keep this check, to be accomplished when and if I get those motors/controllers. I'm talking/emailing with Tech Direct as we speak. I'm trying to get a sense of the 60% battery capacity, and how, if any, difference it will mean to my project. Also why must I have 7 bats, vs six. Both...

    Thanks for the tip, I may not have caught that. The wiring diagram that comes with it is just the opposite.

    C Cab Hot Rod Power Advice

    Wow, I never dreamed of getting this deep into the power needs of this project. It's daunting, yet exciting, the deeper I go. I'm treading water, as we speak, but I can swim, so I'm not fearing catastrophe. I'm hoping it's not like quicksand, so deep, it's going to be over my head. Anyway I...

    I've heard back from two suppliers from EBAY. TDPRO and Alpha_Wheel TDPRO $519.99 + tax and they throw in a couple of 'gift items' https://www.ebay.com/itm/303024861914 Alpha_Wheel I've tossed them aside. Their offer came back broken down which was a little less money, but they couldn't fill...

    I kind of thought that would be the case. My frame is already set up, for the axle to be split. Parts Update: I have put out three requests for price quotes on the motor package. All three went to Dallas, Texas. Probably all to the same office. I'll let you know how it comes out.

    OK then. I think with the help from you and amberwolf, I have come to decide, that the dual motor system, might be the way I should go. I think I will go ahead and replace my 3/4" axle, with a 7/8" go kart axle, that comes with the brake system and drive sprocket as well. I will dwell on this...

    OK, I'll play along, where are they....a link would help :lol: And that's how I envisioned them being connected. So we're together so far. Good to know. That's what I was thinking. Still together...yay! I'm feeling like I/we are getting somewhere. I've just been looking into what it would...

    C Cab Hot Rod Power Advice

    Good info...I'm learning. keep it coming folks. I always thought the axle would be split. Therefore, if two motors were used, as you suggest, I'm thinking each would have their own jackshaft (to change gear speed). Another thought that comes to mind is during turns, would the frictional...

    C Cab Hot Rod Power Advice

    True it is/was complete. It came with drum brakes. But it's not so much a 'bolt-on' affair. As you mentioned it would take a redesign and fabrication of leaf spring connections, shackles, etc. Much less work making a jackshaft as needed. I will agree here, at least for the time being. The...

    While surfing the net for the feasibility of dual dc motor applications, and the effect such a set up has on the motors, I ran across this article. https://engineering.stackexchange.com/questions/2777/effective-ways-to-drive-a-single-shaft-with-multiple-motors P.S. I'm still looking for how...

    C Cab Hot Rod Power Advice

    Actually this whole project started as pedal car project. Having previously built a PVC pedal car, which turned out to be too heavy for one person to pedal, and the likelihood of no one else to help pedal it, that project was abandoned. Enter this StreetRunner project which also started as a...

    Thanks amberwolf for the very lengthy and understandable explanation. You must be, or have been a teacher/instructor of some sort. I was an instructor for about 9 years, and I always tried my best to explain the subject matter in ways that ALL my students could understand. What's simple and...

    Thanks fetcher Point taken. I'm going over to the cart shop, which as it turns out, is just around the corner about a 1/2 mile from my house. Must be an omen....right? Anyway, I will be going over later this morning, and see what help/suggestions they might have. Ed

    fetcher, amberwolf Thanks for your input. It has helped. Some of the other inputs, though well meaning and appreciated, are filled with theory, formulas, etc., which takes a degree in physics to understand. You have presented the information that is relatively comprehensible. I thank you for...

    Hi amberwolf Thanks so much for your input. That's the sort of info/help I'm looking for. The more examples/opinions I get the more I learn. Sorta the educate me/advise me. No. Acceleration is not of real importance. However, the NEV requirement (Calif), states the vehicle must be able to...

    C Cab Hot Rod Power Advice

    Hi and thanks fetcher As I'm building this just for the pleasure of the creation, be able to show it, and take part in some local parades, a range of 20-30 miles or so, is probably more than I need, but gives a margin to work with. Most local parade routes are a couple of miles, and then back...

    Ed here. I've been aware of this site for a number of years, and have looked in, now and then. But now I'm getting to the point in my build that I need, the kind of help this site seems to be able to provide. I'm currently building a C Cab Hot Rod, and I'm seeking advice on what power will be...
