Always great to get free stuff and make it work!

Nice! The Chicken Mobile!

[@SergiojosedossantosSantos-z8p]

Very good

Video #2 when? Some of the frame looked rusty and beat up. I hope you fix it up a bit.

[@vojtechfric9470]

I believe the current is negative, while it's running, to indicate you are removing power from the batteries. During charging, it would show positive amps.

[@AustinCoulson]

I think you are correct. It seemed counterintuitive to me at first. I thought it would show power consumption from the motor but instead it shows the power drain from the battery.

Well, i can tell you one thing. Dust over batteries = conductive path.

[@timwight9471]

Maybe turn the golf cart into a mini FJ40 4x4?

[@AkiSan0]

Thank god you get rid of that ghetto seat heater!

[@majorjakker4666]

Please make a full video of a restoration. Its so cool lil golfcart.

I don't understand why the golf cart specific battery packs are so expensive. Vatrer lists the model 48 volt model I'd need for $1685. I just purchased the equivilant capacity as 4 individual 12 Volt 100 AH units for only $560 including tax and shipping, on Ebay. It doesn't make any sense that the "golf cart" container is worth an extra $1000. What's the deal with that?

[@AustinCoulson]

I actually talked to a couple different battery manufacturers about that and the reason I got was that the 12v cannot handle the spikes in discharge that the larger battery can. They said it was specific to golf carts. I didn't think there was anything too special about a golf cart controller and motor and it seems like its easier on the battery than a vehicle starter, but I am not an electrical engineer.

AZ Expert also did the same upgrade on his moms golf cart

[@AustinCoulson]

James is a solid dude. He once took a detour on his road trip across the US to swing by Tennessee and help me get my first RV all setup before a roadtrip

[@Scott924m]

Yeah he did an excellent job on his project granted it was in better shape but the reality is they're almost exactly the same project sans different models

[@troyrhoadarmer8974]

Hey man what happen to your other channel? I miss the house updates!!!

[@AustinCoulson]

It was taking too much time to post there and I was still sad about my lost footage. I posted my chicken coop build there but no one watched it, so I shut the channel down for the time being. I am still filming the build and would like to post it all once its done, but it's too much to do in real time.

[@PhoenixRCCrawler]

The weight difference is going to be shocking lol. Take pictures every body. I get two or three carts a week that just need a wire put back in the right place.

[@monkeypaw2713]

I see that missing tooth!

[@makolwalker2452]
