About now I was getting serious about a battery box solution. I enlisted same family friend to design and produce boxes out of 3/16 aluminum. After sitting on it for several months he came to me and said it was over his head but he had a buddy that works at a very well known San Diego EV shop that could do it. He passed me off to his buddy who spoke to me once or twice. I could never pin him down on a price. After pressing him a few times things fizzled out. So you know what they say.. if you want something done something something you have to do it yourself. I got on this website called Fiver and found a guy in Sri Lanka that goes by ElectroCad to help me draft up the control box. Plans were sent to send cut send and then I welded aluminum for the first time ever using my MIG welder…
The notch was to make sure the Differential
Didn’t hit the control box under extreme travel.
Inside the control box is a panel that all the components are mounted on. This is offset from the base by a couple nuts this allows for tapping mounting screws without penetrating the box and has been invaluable as I have moved most of the components multiple times trying to get the best layout. There will be a 12x14 access panel that will allow last minute bms connections and fuse changes even with rear battery box stacked underneath.
Also I still continued trying to breath life into the motor getting the computer as close as I could to get a reliable WiFi connection…. Aww Nuts…
