Other Notes: Time for an update. I have a few thousand km on the truck. I've had a couple issues. Two batteries died, had them replaced under warranty.. no biggie. Soliton died, it was repaired under warranty (best service you could imagine). The Soliton is awesome. I am using HDM battery balancers (I think they are very good) and one died... not sure if I caused that one. Again, warranty replacement. Also, I had to re-make my coupler. I spun the spline teeth right out of it. I've purchased an MR2 spyder power steering pump... I don't mind the manual steering.. . daughter wants to drive it. Oh, I have some issues with the Cycle Analyst... but Justin has been awesome. It's mainly due to my higher than normal voltage. Truck actually works really well. It has a lot of power. Oh ya... added some bling.... hehe. 18 x 8 Mustang GT Bullets with 50 series tires. :) I couldn't help it. They are fine with 44 psi. Lithium makes it a real vehicle. :)
