Electric Saturn test 2

Ok, I admit it, this was mostly for fun. This was basically slamming through the gears as fast as I could for the final running test on blocks. I maxed out in 1st, 2nd and 3rd, but held back at 4th and 5th.

Next test will be on the ground moving its own weight.

Ultimate cool! do you have the name of the company that sold you the motor and controller? thanks, Philip

@GLEEPERS66 I could look it up, but it was a chinese company that sells junk, and I recently had to replace the motor and controller with a brushed setup. Although it did work well (when it worked) the controller was constantly breakind down. This car is currently running a warp 9" motor and EVnetics Soliton Jr. controller.

Good job getting your motor installed and spinning. What motor and controller are you using?

[grndiesel]

Thanks,

They are a chinese product that I personally ordered direct from the factory. The motor is a 132 industrial frame with the guts of a rare earth BLDC motor. Motor is about 130lbs, and the controller is around 30 (maybe a touch less). Controller came with it from the same company. That should give me average efficiency well over 90% with peak close to 95% AND regenerative braking.

I tried, and failed to find something like this in canada or the USA that was available to me.
