really? are you new? get a bigger better battery, all that pretty car ain't worth the dust it's made out of without a serious power source, it's really the engine, the electric motor is just the transmission to the ground of the batteries power. so spend your money on the battery or save and carry extra batteries. electricity is the gas battery is the motor electric motor is the transmission

I would not recommend 'coasting' down hills in neutral. The electric motor is always being turned by the wheels and you could over rev the motor. At 40 mph the electric motor would be turning at almost 10000 rpm.

Hi Doug, You're amazing for putting out all this information. Quick question, what are the splines on the output shafts you are using? I am going to have to make my own output shafts since I am using Mazda Miata parts and am trying to design it before I buy everything. I need to widen the reach slightly on each side of the LSD to reach the CV axles. Have a great day, Thank you so much.
@DougsShedАй бұрын
I use the corresponding output shafts/CV joints for the type of differential I am using. Mazda MX5 for MX5 diffs or Ford Fiesta CV joints for Ford IB5 diffs. You would then need to manufacture axles of a suitable length with splines to match your inboard and outboard CV joints.
@YamahossАй бұрын
@@DougsShed yes sir, thank you. That was the plan, I meant to ask what the spline count was on your output shafts for your IB5 differential?
@DougsShedАй бұрын
