Ok - been packing up my shop 24-7 but I have made some progress on this build
Controller - it is here.
16hp monster from Farfle
This is the first time I have seen a 24 fet in person - they are way smaller than I pictured. When mounted sideways these will totally fit in the frame... 24 fet for the win!
KMX is here -
we will call it the GreyMX
This solves all those pesky 20" problems we have been fussing about. This machine right here loves taking 20" in the back and it is all steel so I can easily mod it up.
Before I retired it a year or so back I had some custom aluminum pieces machined up that adapt the 1/2" KMX axle to a standard 20mm hub. Now I can bolt on anything I want. This may not sound like a big deal but before I was having to re-lace 32 hole rims every time I wanted to change
The wheel on the left is an ebay special. The other one taco'ed. The one on the right is off of a zero motorcycle.
And look what I found....
A 9C motor laced into a Big City rim with stainless spokes that I cut myself. This is a drop in replacement for the Cro and I will just move the spokes over (after I f'ing destroy this Chinese rim/spoke combo for the camera). I wont be using that tire...
While taking a ride today I picked up a cheap $10 freewheel. This should do it. It is 16T but I have a 54T on the front so it wont be completely useless.
I found this HS3540 20" with the KMX trike. Apparently I had put it on there for a test fit and forgot about it. Brand new hub. Being exposed caused some of the axle to rust. It is on the Poor Mans Corner now.
My office/shop is now completely packed. The only stuff that is left is what I need to do the most basic repair and business stuff. My goal was to be able to fit all of it in the back of my Jeep if I needed to. I think I got there. MethTek Mobile.
The place I am moving to is 12 minutes (by car) down a windy one lane road. My goal is to do this in 5 on the KMX and live to tell about it. We will see.... Has anyone done a GreyMX yet?
