Hello I am new to this forum and I have a few questions for my build.
What I have is a 1995 Cushman truckster that will be a hybrid that will be powered by a military generator MEP362a Turbine GPU that outputs a continuous underrated 10kw at 28VDC (should be good for 30% more with a unknown peek output). I would like it to be capable of 45-50mph, the total finished weight with driver should be between 1600-1800lbs. I should be able to get used fork lift motors for free or near free.I also have a few smaller Curtis pmc motor controllers.
My questions are: should I use the 28v output or is their a way to convert it to a different output? should I use the clutch and 3 speed trans? what batteries should I use? can I run Curtis motor controllers in parallel to run a bigger motor? let me know what you guys think. Thanks
