That is pretty cool. You should run the headlights off of gas powered generators.
If I wanted to use gas I'd have left the engine in it. This way is ultimate stealth
It does have power steering but I've got that disconnected right now. So...manual. It's so much lighter than stock with all the weight centered down low instead of over the front wheels steering is no problem.
As far as run time...no idea yet. I can climb the crazy hill behind my house 20+ times and blast through a couple miles of corn field using 10-15% of the battery. Slow steady crawling it would probably last many hours of wheel time. I plan on putting a lot more miles on it over the next couple days, I'll know more then.
That's pretty damn impressive. Working next to Tesla I have always thought about an electric crawler. Looking forward to more updates.
Thanks. You ever drive one of those Teslas?
I don't know why we don't see more electric off road stuff. It's got insane torque, compact and versatile mounting, will run at any angle (even upside down or under water), stealth, etc, etc
Not to mention it's so cheap to run it's practically free. (and more-so if you've got a couple solar panels)
