Thx! That was when I first started getting into it, who would have thought it would have turned into a side business. I only deal in 5kw and higher now. :)

I am guessing when I say it probably weighs about 125 lbs. The battery is an LG 62ah 20s lipo pack so that's got some weight.. I have more range and speed than I could ever need here. I have a few 60ah 72v packs left on my ebay store.

@@TexasNEV right on. I will check them out. Do u have a recommendation for a place to purchase cells for those who are interested in building a custom fit battery inside the frame, such as myself?

@jackdraper2849 well with the motor and the controller and the batteries and all the Custom Fabrication everything I think it was over 3k plus, additionally all the conversion to LEDs and restoration of the rolling chassis to make it look this nice probably 3500 total.

Thank you very much for the order! The motor in this video is a 5 turn (high torque, low speed) and you got the 3 turn most popular (high speed lower torque). Either way the torque ratings on either one are more than double what your normal 1500w 48v ebike motor is. My son got the 5 turn because you don't give a 12 year old a bike that can go 60 mph.. LOL.. He's older now so I'll be swapping with a 3 turn on his soon.

Strongly recommend the magnaflow.. I chopped this off and ended up going w/ that. See my other video. :)

It's not slower, it is a 3 speed. When all was said and done we hit almost 45mph. :)

Yes, I call it "how to deal with a crap trigger using yellow paint"... LOL!!!

@@AdidasBoy333 contact me at [email protected]

power may cut off and i think its dangerous so make sure to get a suitable kit with controller or get bigger battery

It was just the one off Amazon. It looks great and the size of the motor is to scale on the bike size but it's just not enough power for use from a a dead stop. If that's not an issue then go for it. :) Could be an excellent e-bike conversion (which is what I normally do). There's some 80cc conversions out there and even a few Harbor freight predator 212's that people have done.

@@TexasNEV that’s awesome. I’m finding a lot of 2 strokes but I’d rather have a 4 if I can manage.

@@SirGuidemere91 The 49cc's are all over Amazon for $180.

Thx! My customer loves his conversion. Feel free to contact me at [email protected]!

Best way to get one of your batteries?

@robertparker9725 thx! If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at [email protected]

@BaldGeek83 It was just yellow model paint. 🙂

@@TexasNEV Thanks!

Nice! Check out my other videos. I called this video "The Monster Truck of Fat Bikes" but that was before I got a hold of the 5kw kits. :)

@@TexasNEV I too have a 1000watt 26 fat tire 48volt 20ah ebike with a 30amp controller that peaks at 1440 watts of full power! so 33mph tops

@@michaelhart5070 That's a lot of fun for sure. :) The kits I sell on ebay are 5000w and can peak up to 8,000w for 30 sec, comes with a 120 amp controller and I also offer a 72v 40ah battery. Will hit 62mph...

Good to know. :)

I meant mild cam. :)

Enjoy the journey! These are a lot of fun for sure.

Me neither but I did end up ripping this out and putting a magnaflow in (see other video). I liked that WAY better and I could immediately tell how much less restrictive it was.

LOL.. What clutch are you referring to?

@@TexasNEV the circular one that goes on your shaft 😂 turn it around

@Bigpimpin9393 there is no clutch on an electric go-kart. That's a sprocket, and if you watch all the videos you know that it's impossible for it to go 80.

@@TexasNEV it is not impossible brother trust me but I am not hating at all there is a such thing as an electric clutch so yeah it was impossible to go to mars and the moon yeah 0K 🤣

@Bigpimpin9393 The technical specifications of the motor, current, drive sprocket, driven sprocket and wheel diameter, it is not possible. The efficacy of clutches on electric drive systems are subject to debate, and cannot make speed all by themselves. Some people have confused the brake band has a clutch in these videos.

I've moved beyond this, and now offer a 5000w / 72v w/ top speeds in the low 60's w/ over 115 nm of torque. Check out my ebay store @texasnev or reach out to me at [email protected]

@@TexasNEV that's insane man hahaha. Idk if I'm ready for that much power yet 🤣

@@JayH605 Well the way I look at it is that if you have that much power and you ride it "normal" then you'll have a ton of range and a very very long service life. It's kind of like the big engine that isn't doing a lot of work vs the tiny engine running at max all the time. My "Terminator Electric Chopper" has the 5kw 72v system but I rarely go over 35 so I have LOTS of reserve power and LOTS of range and nothing gets very hot. Make sense?

Reach out to me offline. info at texas nev dot com

Yep, no time to think in those situations.. Hence the title of the video: "Trigger hack (sorta)"... :)

Nope, this one is the original. I have the LCP II as well and yes it is much improved. No need for any trigger work or hacks. :)

​@TexasNEV rear sight looks like the 2013 & later LCP which is the 2nd generation of the original LCP also original has dash in SN later doesn't.

@@jimf1450 Ok so the confusion lies with LCP Gen 2 vs LCP II. If this is a "gen 2" of the original, it' still sucks.. LOL. :)

Well thanx I appreciate that.. Especially since it costs zero. LOL

Yep! It's almost like it makes sense.. LOL.. The "Outroad" brand on Amazon / Ebay" is a far better candidate.. This was for my son and he was paying for part of it so every dollar counted. :)

Thx, simple but effective..

It was a 45A controller, which is the correct one that matches w/ the motor. The BMS was a 50A. The battery pack was capable of far more current than what the motor needed, which is what you want. (45A x 72v) = 3240 Watts into the controller. You can push these motors harder with the motor cooling fins (out there on ebay somewhere) and ice in between hard runs. Love these little things.

That was so long ago I can't even find it anymore.. However, that being said, I wouldn't recommend that route. It was not worth the effort. I had one cell go bad and I ended up just getting rid of it. I'd go w/ whatever you can scrap together from battery hoookup, perhaps a 24S lifepo4 or 20s li-po. They will help you get the best bang for the buck.

It's entry level pocket carry.. Manage expectations. :) Mine doesn't have any creep, it's just way too heavy, hence the neat idea of the yellow lines. :)

It helps... Not really a trigger hack but more of an indicator.

That's way out of my leauge. Swapping a 5.7 LS1 w/ a 6.0 LQ9 both being Gen III, all the parts fit from the LS1 to the new LQ9 short block so I wouldn't be much help, and I didn't even do the work in the first place. :)

@@TexasNEV so if I have the ls parts from trans am I can use for my v6 to put 6.0 in??

@@Lonniee_builds I'm not an engine guy but other than shorter head bolts all these types of Gen III's are Mr. Potato Head.. LOL

@@TexasNEV yeah well thanks man nice ws6!! My dream car but couldn’t afford so I got v6 lol still nice has first car I’m 16 rn so super fun

@@Lonniee_builds Yep it's a little known fact that the V6 swap to an LS is the great trick for young'ins to afford the car insurance. :)

Correct sir, I stand corrected. :)

We had another one that was left original. :) These things are cool though.

Bad controller or motor/hall sensor not connected correctly.

Thanx! Plenty to do w/ L2.. Remember 5, 119 nS is still an "L"... :) That'll still lift 50lbs a mile.

@@TexasNEV Oh I've learned that as I printed out the L2 study guide the day after my L1 cert, lol.. I have to be honest as you said really thats all I will ever need. I would definitely like to and will attempt L3 certification when I feel I'm ready. But yeah, L2 is really more than anyone needs in my personal opinion. But there are guys that care deeply about this and they respect and appreciate that amount of power. Its a wide, wide range, L2. I hadn't planned on getting my L1 this year as I haven't built or launched any in 10 years. But from May on I decided to at least make an L1 attempt by next year at that time. So spent the spring and summer then flying low and mid power as I have since 1990. Its been so much fun, I really enjoy doing this again then getting the L1 cert on 11/4/23. The last 10 years alone the amount of things like the chute release and OpenRocket I just found this year. Its been so cool to see this stuff has been developed over the years I hadn't paid attention to the hobby at all. But I would like to get my L2, then do a few DD L1 rockets, and fly higher impulse L2 successfully for a few years before I think about the L3. But ill be planning it along the way for sure, then when it's time I have a few willing to help that are L3 so it looks good! Very cool again, I'll look for future vidoes!

@@michaelbozung1794 I just got the L3 back then, just to get it, I very rarely ever flew much L3 sized motors.. It was just the sense of accomplishment, that's all.

Keep watching my other vids in the channel, I have the 5000w ones.. :)

If you're not handy, then you pay someone like me to do it.. LOL.. It all depends on what sort of Napoleon Dynamite maad skills you have. This project would require basic mechanical / extensive electrical and some welding skills.

@@TexasNEV I've been looking at getting a GTS Platinum to convert.

@@Dracs_Brood Expect to spend about $3k-$3.5k. 20s 64ah to 100aH 72v (84v) battery & charger ($1400) , ME 1306 motor, controller ($1400), $400 for sprocket brackets, buck converter, throttle pedal, misc wiring, key switch, LED lighting, panel meter, etc, etc

Yep! Even more torque for you then! :)

Go karts have smaller wheels, more rolling resistance and weigh a lot more.

I actually ended up gutting this and going w/ my personal fav: the Magnaflow muffler.. I could instantly tell the difference in power and the sound was deep / bass / rumbly w/o the annoying Flowmaster toots.

That's a lottta data.. lol.. If I were to do it again, I would not recommend doing it like this.. I'd recommend a Motenergy ME1306 and Kelly 500A brushless controller. The belt drive components came from Comet Kart Sales , the belt drive sprocket adapter plate came from AZUSA (custom). I built the battery myself out of LG 64aH pouch cells. When all was said and done, soup to nuts, that's $3500-$3700 sitting in the driveway and that was me buying a non running HH 150 for $750.

Nice! Have fun and be careful! That was my only gas project, everything else is all electric stuff that can hit in the low 60's. We're in an HOA so I am mindful of noise, etc, plus, gas isn't my forte, I'm an EE so all things electric / electronic is my gig. :)

Thanks! Unfortunately I don't work with front hub kits, only the rear ones. 🙂

@@TexasNEV Ok,,,thank you for your quick response,,,🙂👍👍
