How is the motor, with no load they can tear themselves apart.

I haven't checked anything since it happened, but I think the motor is still o.k. It was only full throttle for about 5-10 seconds..

Yea it's a bummer, I am aware that the contactor should've been open while charging, but evidently i forgot to shut it off last night as I was in a hurry. I hope and pray that they'll take it back, if not, I'll probably see if people would be willing to make some small donations to help me pay for it. (After all, I am a poor college student)

Thanks for the ratings and comments,

Kyle

Bummed to hear about your misshap, however overjoyed that only the controller threw its guts out and not your guts all over the garage.

Maybe you should draw up some schematics and post it online so we can look at it and comment. Contractors to motor and controller should be open when the "ignition is off"... There should be no chance in hell for such thing to happen. Unless something is jerry rigged, or you simply left the ignition on? did you?

[kylehondarider]

Yea, the wiring is up to snuff, I just forgot to turn the ignition off. Right now it's not going through the key ignition, I just have a switch controlling the contactor, controller, and the potbox. I guess I'll live and learn :-P

Well, it may suck, but it would have really really sucked if it had been in gear, eh? Thank God for small miracles.

Sorry to hear about the "event" here Kyle. I was excited to come and see the project as I haven't checked up in a while. I know that gut wrenching feeling you get when something goes wrong... I had the same one the day my motor mount busted and everything fell to ground. Keep the faith, it will come together my friend.

Kyle has now placed a 'Donate' button on his website.

I've tested the donate button and it works well.

Now - everyone please help Kyle out by donating to this good cause.

Eric.

[evric2008]

You'll have to finish your wiring and double check everything before turning it on again after the new controller is in. No more of this temporary hook up. Eric

[evric2008]

Kyle, place a PayPal donate button "To save Kyle's EV" on your home page. We all want to donate. Hopefully Kelly will come to the party with your controller upgrade. Eric

That was.... well.... human error then.... You need to think of a way for the car to let you know its ON, a brigth red ligth under the hood and something else inside the car.....

When you permanently wire the chargers you need to make it to where they wont start charging when car i on and car wont start with chargers plugged in and charging.

bummer,

hook it up threw the key swith cause were all conditioned to remove keys
