EV Trans Am

Got a call just a few minutes ago that the motor is being shipped. Hopefully it gets here in the next 10 days or so and we’re in business!

It’s been kind of slow. Still working out the order for an adapter and controller. I found a local store that sells the batteries I’m interested in so I may go pick one up and start on hard battery rack design. I’m planning for February to be a good month. I’d like to get a start on the following then:

That’s probably enough, I don’t want to be too ambitious since I’m also hoping the motor will be here by then too.

Lots of calling, emailing and list making. Motor has been ordered, hopefully the adapter and controller will be soon. Time to start listing all the other parts and quantities needed.

The 8 battery configuration won’t fit in the fuel tank location. There wasn’t enough clearance to the rear axle housing, especially once axle movement was considered. I still think I can fit 6 in there pretty easily.
