My motor is a torque motor, rated at 14 hp.

The battery packs will mount to the diamond plate.

Glad Sergio chimed in on this. I asked your plan on the battery pack placement in order to bring up the best options. Planning the placement and BMS seems to be the bigger hang ups in these builds from what I have seen. I was able to do my pack as a single pack, because my frame was an originally built gas frame and the frame rails are further apart than on an originally electric built frame. Out of curiosity can you tell me what the measurements are in a couple fixed locations?

So I spoke to Dave today at Revolution Golf Cars and he had a answer for all my questions. Now with that being said he just got my business for well over a grand worth of stuff. Him just answer the phone and spending 5 to 10 minutes with me won me as a customer. I was going to go another rout originally but I cant spend 1k to 2k on golf cart parts and only communicate over email. Just call me old fashioned i guess.

I like it!!!!

How did you "paint" it? It looks like a great job!

[Ryan Tug Smith]

Got all the camo colors and grabbed a palm tree limb from my palm tree and just went to work. Its very florida for a camo job. Ive had fun this weekend bring it to life.

[Ryan Tug Smith]

Forgot to add I Rhino lined it first then camo over that

[Wakko47]

Wow, that was a pretty nice paint job you covered up. Where in Florida are you?

[DaveTM]

Nice work!!

If you have pics of how you welded up the gears you should post that. I know many have posted the "How do you do that" question.
