Re: [Amc-list] E-85 Conversion

[Wrambler242@xxxxxxxxxxx]

I saw one built on a mail Jeep platform and raced, don't know if it was the same show.
It was pretty cool, except the guy didn't have handle on getting the axle shafts right and stripped ne out, so they welded it and ran it with a welded shaft, can't remember times or if it held.
  It's an interesting concept as the electric motor and all can be munted directly over the rear drive wheels, Pile in the batteries etc; getting as much of the weight on the drive axle as possible.
   Like you said lots of torque and instant.
They just took the biggest motor they could afford and put it in the lightest cheap vehicle they could get, one of the newer aluminum bodied mail Jeeps...
   Kind of goofy show, as the guy cut corners and it got a realy cheesy cheap paint job.
