Check out the motor prices - getting reasonable.
Batteries aren't that bad nowadays.
Need to look at charging and connectors.
I've gone to 8mm bullet connectors for my high power units.

I was thinking os doing and electric MT.been looking at the prices of the batteries on ebay UK and they are extortionate for the same NANOTECH as HK are selling.
I have had no problem at all with dealing with HK and never had a bum product yet.
8mm bullets Al!!! Jeeze,you could connect Sellafield up with them without having a short.
I thought you were against elec Ben? anyway,what are you doing in Scotland???

I was buddy but like everything technology is getting better and better and the run times are nearly as long as fuel engines without the noise, which we all know is a pain as we get hassle from them tree hugging, dog walking moaning bar stewards :lol:

Been up here for just over a year now buddy, Manchester's a poop hole now and to many f@#k wits about so came to the country side

[voo2doo]

Yes mate.too true about the noise. Bloody hell...SCOTLAND!

Hi James,
I'm using 8AWG wire, so need decent bullets!!
I had to trim the wires a little with 6.5mm bullets, so 'bit the bullet' and used the 8mm ones - work a treat!!

Love the rides AL, i hear what you are saying about the 6.5mm bullets, i found that if i filled the wire side with solder i could drill out the connectors with out any issues. I run them like that on the battery side of my MGM 40063 with i think 8 or 6 AWG

 

[atom3624]

Cheers mate.
Loved 'developing' them and certainly love 'half bashing' them - with the speeds they go, they're probably about twice as fast as 'standard' - the FG goes well for all of the weight!!
