490kw! Crikey. Totally awesome. But you'll need that because it's a lead sled aughglebarg! Still. Sponsorship is nice. hahaha

Woohoo!

Awesome!, Sorry guys, nwe to EV's so firgiv me. Whatis the formula for arriving at 490 KW ? Is that from the batteries, motor or? Again forgive but I'm dying to learn!

[RocketMaker10000]

Wow, two parallel packs of 144v....more energy density than Thundersky's? I'm impressed. I have the same motor in my car but need that controller. Met the guys from EVnetics at Power of DC and that controller is the best on the market now in my humble opinion. Please show this thing moving!!!! Oh yeah, and fuses are a good idea!!!!!

very nice although not a fan of lead acid batteries. some power lithium is nicer and really actually cheaper because they live longer. and weigh less.

@lpgas1 : We're runnning the 9" ADC, series wound DC. Why? Coz that's what we had! I wouldn't mind trying Tritiums' kit in there though... maybe in the next car!
