I finshed bolting all of the batteries together today, what a time consuming job.
Here are some pics of the frame just about finished. Dusty and Kent stayed until 2AM last night working on getting the frame done.
Here is Bill Ross (Fireman Bill) playing with fire............I wonder how much if any of that battery would be left after that big motor got a hold of it???
Kent cutting more tube for the chassis.
11.5" brake rotor for the rear.
Kent and Dusty screwing around.........
Shannon cutting wheel spacers.........Freud he said he is not cutting his hair.........
Kent fish mouthing some tubing.
After I finished with the batteries I made all of these cables (2ott) to connect all of the batteries in series.
The orange ones will go inside of the boxes to tie the eight batteries together and the black ones will go outside of the boxes to tie the boxes together.
Here is one half of a box with batteries in it, the other half will get it's batteries and the two halfs bolted together. There will be two of these boxes in place of the wood box that currently sits inside the frame. The box is made out of several materials, fiberglass, kevlar and a outer shell of carbon fiber.
