Just installed rattlesnake 2

[Pavelkafish]

Wow over 40 at 72 volts ?! I have whole extra set of batteries, I'd add one to give me 56 but where do you put the extra and how do you charge it? You gotta get a YouTube video up and show us, I plan on doing a speed demo with mine. On a side not check out this vid I made the other day with my new camera.

Just curious. Do any of you guys who have the Rattlesnake know what motor model it is based off of? I know PQ gets these in and modifies them but I cant find what they start with before modifying it. I do know that they told me its physically a much larger motor so I don't think it starts out as a golf cart motor — maybe a forklift motor or??? I would love more info.

Also, since this is such a large motor and specs are off the charts, have you guys ever seen any other manufacturers make something that competes with the Rattlesnake II? It seems to be in a category of its own.

I know it was a good 1 1/2 inch or so longer , I pulled the rear end when I did mine and swapped motor and reinstalled them together. I remember looking at it and thinking how much of a pain it would trying to get it around the leaf spring and to top it off it was a good 10 lbs heavier .

Are you using one of those hand held meter clamps? or do you have a more elaborate setup? I could not find any "reasonably priced" hand held meters that measured a potential 700A, so just lost interest and gave up. I'm curious of your method. Thanks.

I use the Alltrax logging software and a device called cycle analyst. The cycle analyst gives you a speedometer, odometer, volt meter, amp meter, kilowatt meter, kilowatt per mile meter, max voltage, min voltage, charge cycle counter and a bunch more.

Ill try to do a video soon with the gps on camera.

I am running six 12 volt batteries. I still had to build a new tray to get them to fit. I loose a bit of torque off the line since they can't provide the amperage six or eight volts batteries would.

Hi

How/where did you get the rattlesnake? I didn't see it on the website. Thanks
