Electric Dune Buggy - 80 percent throttle

[JcXtreme72]

You know if that were gas powered you could go twice as fast bring a friend to laugh with and it wouldn't take 12-14 hours to recharge for 15-20 mins of lonely fun

Do you happen to know how much the batteries weight total?

[MrCombatboots9]

That looks slot of fun

hmm. I have a 1000 watt electric motor, will that be good enough to power one of these?

[MrGooddoctor]

Very cool. I am building something similar. How much did the air cooling help?  Did you fab your own controller. Any regen? I would really like to chat about your project. Cheers.

Hey your dune buggy is sweeeet. Can you please make a video explaining all the little parts in the vehicle? Looks like you got the battery pack to your right, the generator in back and some sort of tank above. Was everything bought off the self or did you have to make certain parts? Thanks =)
