Cully's Electric car ..T project - THE_Liam - 10-06-2012
Isn't 6.5hp more than the little indoor carts that are already capable of 30-40mph? This should be pretty damn quick if the batteries don't weigh it down too much...
Can I have a go?
Re: Cully's Electric car ..T project - puglove - 10-06-2012
sweeeeeeeet , that is all
Re: Cully's Electric car ..T project - 4WayDiablo - 10-06-2012
Should be good fun,
Me and a few mates made a go kart from an old ride on mower rated at 14hp :-)
Its good fun toying about with these kinda things
Re: Cully's Electric car ..T project - Dum-Dum - 10-06-2012
Sounds awesome when you flick the switch to up the voltage.
Re: Cully's Electric car ..T project - cully - 10-06-2012
just looking at the perameter set points on the speed controller
i think it is set to ramp to full power in 4 seconds soooooooo.
if the motor can pull the weight and i get the gearing right..0-60 in 4 seconds ????
there are a lot of IFs in that!
if the batterys can deliver the Amps
if i dont shit my pants
if it gets finished
Re: Cully's Electric car ..T project - kingy - 10-06-2012
wooow. 4 seconds? hope you get somewhere near to this mate. thats fast.
Re: Cully's Electric car ..T project - cully - 10-06-2012
i dont expect it to be no where near that though
Re: Cully's Electric car ..T project - D@wson - 10-06-2012
That second motor looks beefy as hell!
Re: Cully's Electric car ..T project - kingy - 10-06-2012
somewhere near it will still be very nice.
Re: Cully's Electric car ..T project - cully - 13-06-2012
yes!!
one of the main sticking point is......was the batterys
i have found some......FOR FREE!
i love working where i do.
they have changed some battery packs on some electric tugs cause they were faulty... but not the whole pack is
so im getting the good ones out the pack.
6volt 250Ah lead acid x lots but only need 4
only down side is weight but the motor and speed controller can eat the amps now!
anyone got a quad rolling chassis.......Hmmmmmm!
RE: Cully's Electric car ..T project - cully - 20-06-2012
ok update time....
THE KART HAS DIED!!
well not really we did the show and tell thing with the school last night that was cool everyone was interested which was good.
then off they went to play with the school hovercrafts ah coooooooool i want one!
no no i digress
the Kart is home in the garage now on stands and i have stripped off all the old electric gear
so Kart 2 Boost project has now begun
RE: Cully's Electric car ..T project - Dum-Dum - 20-06-2012
Needs boosted!
RE: Cully's Electric car ..T project - sweeney1987 - 20-06-2012
Epic project man!!!
looks quality!
would love to do something like this.
RE: Cully's Electric car ..T project - cully - 22-06-2012
think im in my element in the garage hammering cutting grinding
one of the issues i have is mounting the large motor as it wont mount on the existing motor mounts so i have had to fabricate a beefy mount that wont flex with the torque of the motor, so i have built this out of 3mm plate steal
am hoping its adiquet if it flex's i will weld some ribs onto it
RE: Cully's Electric car ..T project - cully - 01-07-2012
another photo update
have finished the motor mount system, fingers crossed its going to be strong enough to hold the torque of the motor
all painted and have mocked up the install
the motor sprocket and bush turned up in the week so i can get some dimensions for the mounting of the speed controller
so now onto the next part of mounting the speed controller

RE: Cully's Electric car ..T project - samass - 01-07-2012
looking good!
take it up the hill next year?
RE: Cully's Electric car ..T project - londondan86 - 02-07-2012
Nice work mate, just read through the project.
What about one motor per wheel? Could even have a smaller motor on each front wheel! 4wd elecy cart ftw! (btw I know you probably couldnt power all that but does sound good!)
RE: Cully's Electric car ..T project - cully - 02-07-2012
squeezing more stuff in!
begining to run out of room at the back now though
RE: Cully's Electric car ..T project - cully - 06-07-2012
oh dear!
ordered a second hand seat and it dont fit the kart between the seat uprights being an XXL seat.
so now have to really think about plans for batterys and seat mounting
thought long enough!
so ive cut off the seat supports off with a disc cutter
i love the disc cutter
so now ive had more ideas on battery mountings so im having to refabricate the seat mounts which gives more room for the batterys
one ether side of the seathave also bought battery cable crimp lugs and a crimper for 35mm crimps
RE: Cully's Electric car ..T project - mark_airey - 06-07-2012
Do I presume that "disc cutter" is what the normal types would call a "grinder" or "angle grinder"?? ROFL
In all seriousness though, could you not just reposition the rails for the seat?
RE: Cully's Electric car ..T project - cully - 06-07-2012
its not a grinder when it has a cutting disc fitted
and yes effectivly i will be repositioning the "rails" although they arnt rails they are A type frames that support the side of the Kart seat
but i do love the disc cutter
RE: Cully's Electric car ..T project - Eeyore - 07-07-2012
awesome! keep up the good work!
RE: Cully's Electric car ..T project - cully - 07-07-2012
well it looks to be getting worse as ive cut more stuff off
then suddenly stuff starts to come together again
have made up two battery trays one for each side now i can offer up the seat and trays to get some sort of fixing ideas
RE: Cully's Electric car ..T project - cully - 08-07-2012
had a mass build day today in and out of calls from work
and finaly the fat bastard can sit in the Kart seat mounts and battery trays are in !
RE: Cully's Electric car ..T project - Niall - 08-07-2012
Epic. What do you reckon the total weight is going to be? Should be under say 150-200kg?

im going to guess 200-250 with the Fat driver
RE: Cully's Electric car ..T project - cully - 09-07-2012
35mm cable is a bit of a bitch to crimp!
tightly around the rear axle and up to the motor
RE: Cully's Electric car ..T project - Niall - 09-07-2012
35mm!?! You been stealing from national grid?
RE: Cully's Electric car ..T project - Midnightclub - 09-07-2012
When's the first test drive?
RE: Cully's Electric car ..T project - cully - 09-07-2012
