    300hp single seat off road buggy project

    Good to see the thread is still kicking. There hasn't been massive amounts of movement on the buggy build other than, for the time being, I'll stick with the Nissan leaf battery pack. A 45c lipo power plant would be ideal but in order to just get the buggy up and running sooner it makes sense to...

    300hp single seat off road buggy project

    Mate I come up with all kinds of ideas without understanding the constraints! Hahaha!. Seriously though...the battery is by far going to be the biggest concern. I've saved a lot of money by buying the Datsun which has everything I need bar the battery so that leaves me with monetary room to get...

    300hp single seat off road buggy project

    Hi there, most certainly understand that elec motors produce torque from 1 rpm and bags of it... I built an elec downhill bike some years ago. As I mentioned I'm still investigating all alternatives and a gearbox may not be the way to go. A direct drive is certainly preferable but a powerglide...

    300hp single seat off road buggy project

    Yes that's certainly and option, I've been rattling about 6 gazillion alternatives through my head over the last week. The main issue, as is no doubt obvious, is that I don't really know what the machine needs. Perhaps a 4.11:1 direct driven diff will be fine.... I just don't know, so starting...

    300hp single seat off road buggy project

    Hi again, So picked up the Datsun on the weekend, she's in pretty good order and took it for a short run down to the front gate n back. Runs well but needed a charge. I'm fairly fixed on starting with the warp9 coupled straight to the IRS diff. A primary concern with the likely 29" tyres I'll...

    Aussie EV Autocross Special

    Very cool stuff mate and glad the 'personality' of the car is generally to your liking. I'm going through similar things albeit theoretically, that being the anti squat/roll/dive layout in the buggy as it currently sits. You're not running a locked diff per chance? As this'd obviously have...

    And I've also become pretty good at leaving out the efficiency losses....88% efficiency tops for the motor.....heat losses in cabling and busbars, whatever for the controller....is 75-80% efficiency about realistic then?

    300hp single seat off road buggy project

    Yes this is exactly what I figured on the not exactly knowing how far to push it business. Will be cautious in the amps area, obviously gathering as much pre info first and will talk with others who've pushed these motors hard. One tempting thought is to run it through a powerglide or some...

    300hp single seat off road buggy project

    Thanks mate and your reply made perfect sense. I'm not particularly interested in frying zilla 2k's and warp9's on a daily basis don't get me wrong! Run times can be super short...down to a couple of minutes. As has been mentioned before by others as well, super duper amounts of torque and...

    300hp single seat off road buggy project

    Thanks for the replies guys... very much. Galerdi, I sure can be over optimistic at times and need to know where my facts got skewed.... getting things skewed gets annoying for those trying to help! So please let me know Jayls5, that rig looks sorta quick. What would it do on the quarter do...

    300hp single seat off road buggy project

    Thanks for replying mate, very cool car too. Especially like the single seater which I believe was the 2nd incarnation. As you'd expect I have some questions and you don't have to answer all of them! - What kind torque figures are you getting at 90kw and at a guess what would the 0-100 time...

    300hp single seat off road buggy project

    The buggy looks a little sparse currently with some surface rust etc but after a hearty sandblast and respray will come up fine. I couldn't upload the photos in any form other than screenshots even though most were under the 512kb limit for some bent reason. The engine bay is quite roomy...

    300hp single seat off road buggy project

    Thanks for the replies guys and am in the process of flogging the funds out of some cheeky nearby institution. The build is still very much at the academic stage and I'm going to be pretty cautious on how the 20k gets spread out. At this point it's looking like a Jonescg battery build...

    300hp single seat off road buggy project

    Meant to add too that finding any info on a warp7 is proving challenging and jonescg is doing 30/60c lipo for app $1150/kWh....still have yet to touch base with him. Cheers

    300hp single seat off road buggy project

    Thanks again for your replies. I'm fairly set on using a lipoly battery pack for size, weight and high discharge reasons but am certainly open to suggestions. So 10 kwr 25c + is the aim at this point. I don't have the buggy in front of me at the moment but the battery compartment area is...

    Thanks for all the replies guys, great stuff.Yes I had a squizz through oatnets build thread quite a parallel there hardware wise... couldn't find a tyre shredding or 0-100 time vid though. Is there one about? Very cool and über detailed build I must say. The whole battery caper is one I'm...

    300hp single seat off road buggy project

    Yes run time can be down to a few minutes...at least in the beginning. This is just for recreation really. Basically interested in developing a vehicle that'd be more 'fun' than a turboed Hayabusa engined equivalent. More so it'd be quiet and the wildlife around my place would appreciate it. A...

    I wrote this in a bit of a hurry and need to add that the app 20k budget will include a 2k zilla, battery pack and of course motor. Thank you

    300hp single seat off road buggy project

    Hello everyone, After a wee hiatus I'm very glad to be back in the never stagnant surrounds of ES... with a new project. I'm very interested in your thoughts on a netgain warp9 alternative. Have been looking into AM racing's 250-90, Plettenberg's nova 150 ,even dual tp100's etc etc. The output...

    Very tight work mate very tight. I like the design work. Classy bike to start with too. As mentioned by our electro revheads the bike chain and cassette will get properly reamed in (not much) time, I'm guessing a couple of rides if you're up it. There's a big 'pro/anti gears for hi perf e...
