Smokin Joe Looks like fun! Being a couple inches of the ground makes you feel like you are going a lot faster too! The karts handle so well on asphalt, sometimes it likes to throw you out of the seat. 7 days ago

Did some research with comparing my elect. set up with an equivalent set up with a gas engine... My set up & performance is a bit better than a stock / governed 7 hp. 4 stroke, with a 6 - 1 gearing... That's pretty good !

Finally finished !! Took it out for a 40 min. shake down maiden,, & it did awesome !! .. Ended up going with 3 packs, for a total of 42ah. ect. ..Run times should get over an hr. easy... It pulls hills like nothing,, & frigg'n screams on the flat's ect.

I74 Thanks Tony ! .. I actually acquired the 4th pack, & am now running 4 of them in parallel... Am definitely getting my 1 hr.+ run time also... It free wheels about 40mph,, with the 6.9 - 1 gearing I' am running.. Plenty fast & efficient ,, for Subdivision - ''Lithium land cruising'',, with some pretty good hills.. It draws a pretty good crowd too...With the 4th pack, AUW came out to around... Show more 1 month ago

Smokin Joe I has that electric torque of of the hole. Never drag race an electric vehicle. You will get beat out of the hole every time. 1 week ago

I74 With my 6..9 - 1 gearing, Joe,, & 14.8 tall back tires,, it won't smoke the tires,, & is pretty much just set up for hills & all around cruising & speed on the flats... If I put 8 - 10' inch slicks on the back,, it would probably smoke the tires no problem... It's still ''surprisingly'' pretty quick though,, with the gearing & tires I' am running. .. I 1 week ago

Packs showed up yesterday.

I74 48v,, 13s- 4p, 14ah. packs.. Will run in parallel for a total capacity of 28ah.. Which means theoretically,, I can run the Kart @ around 1hr.with pulling 28 amps constant. 2 months ago

I74 Added,, ea. pack has 52 - 3500ma - 18650 lithium cells. 2 months ago

Got my tires mounted today... Fingers are feeling it also,, ''literally''.

Photos are being loaded.

Got the new king pin bearings pressed in & the steering pretty much buttoned up... You will notice the blue spacer bushings above the kingpin/spindles.. Those are the urethane automotive sway bar link bushings that I incorporated to lower the kingpin/spindles pretty much all the way down to the bottom of the yokes for optimum road clearance & a wee bit of dampening...Ordered the 13s- 4p packs also.

I74 Another pic.... Motors & controllers ect. will get ordered next week.

Smokin Joe I see the hydraulic brakes and the pedal. Now what kind of setup for the electric gas pedal? Are you going to use an electronic speed controler? 2 months ago

I74 It's going to have a hall effect pedal & 12 fet ESC.. Here is a pic of the motor, ESC,, pedal combo... Also got the seat assy.mounted & brake lines,, & 3 gang safety switches mounted... The seat mounting was pretty tedious to get just right,, as it sets in 5 adjustable mountings.

Tony Hallo is there a field where you fly? 3 months ago

Tony Hallo It takes a set of nuts to fly like that in front of a large crowd. 3 months ago

I74 Yea,, a ''big'' set... Really liked when he chopped the motor towards the end .. I get that aggressive flying on a sim,, but ''no chance'' for real,, @ the field,, especially that close to the ground.... Sim,, all you gott'a do is hit the reset button when you crash .. LOL 3 months ago

I74 Wait till you see what I came up with for King pin spacer bushings. Made them out of Moog ''blue'' urethane sway bar link bushings. They will also add in a bit of dampening,, plus they don't weigh Jack squat,, compared to stacks of washers ect,. 3 months ago

I74 Having the bushings on top of the King pins,, allows me to lower the King pin/spindle all the way down , for added road clearance. 3 months ago
