Try the go-kart on streets at 11h30 in the night.
The motor broke 10 min later. I think that this is the same problem as neurotikart. I will rebuild this motor and try again.


28 Fév 2008

Trying new A123 systems battery pack this weekend.


24 june 2008
Replace the perm motor for a huge serie-wound forklift motor
The perm motor has been rebuilt 6 times.
We have too much power for a such small motor.

The kevlar strap torn apart after 5 min riding. : ((((
We have to use sproket
