Oh so before we get into this video, i just want to give a quick precursor, because this is a couple weeks in the future and we messed up a lot of stuff. We had a lot of problems, but it is build break repeat so. Jason's gon na explain kind of what's going on in this video. Our sprocket is just way too big.

This thing's gearing is way too high. So basically, that's just gon na the motor is just working too much like kind of pushing electricity in, but getting nothing out which can cause overheating and a lot of strain on all your electric drive training components. So for one we had this and then we also had this motor is meant for 24 to 48 volts and we're running it at 72, which you know isn't that bad people people have done it with this motor before. But then couple that with being severely under geared and just a lot more strain, basically, we burn out this motor.

We had to get it rebuilt and then we also ended up burning out our motor controller. We just figured that out like today, which is like three weeks in the future, but yeah. We have a lot of new parts, we're about to order we're just kind of sourcing things figuring it out, but um yeah. But with that being said, there's a lot of potential here yeah and just keep in mind when you watch this video that this thing was just severely uh under geared.

So what that means is it's still a lot of fun. We have a lot of potential here and it's just another step in the process and you'll see this thing drive for the very first time. So in the last video we got this thing finally running as you all can see, there's wires everywhere. We don't see.

There's a lot of work to do, but there's really not that much left between us and a bunch of electric power. So let's just get started we're getting the chain on. I also bolted this sprocket up and got our keyway matched up. We don't really know.

What's going on with gearing we've, never really messed with electric stuff, but this is gon na be a pretty good reduction. I think we're gon na be able to go pretty fast with this. Everything is completely ready. Besides our throttle, but right now we just want to test it and make sure everything's working tested the chain's all right and just everything.

So it's on yep contactor. This is forward. This takes me super fast yeah. Let it rub out a little bit too and don't look back watch the tire do y'all see it expand.

I love how quiet it is all you hear is like this. It's got a nice electric noise, but not too bad. So everything on the car to set up now, but we didn't have a way to set up the throttle. So we did is we took this twist grip throttle that they had and we got a little piece of aluminum shaped it like a pedal and then u bolted it on here.

So what it will do is it'll just act like a foot pedal. This isn't going to be permanent. This is just so. We can test the cart, because we need to make sure that all our programming is going to work right and then, after that, we'll have to order a real pedal.

But this is our stand in and it works all right, so we're sliding our throttle onto our foot peg mount and it'll go like that. So we'll get that cinched up and then we'll be ready to go so you're standing like that, so that when you push it back, it'll be like that. That's better throttle is all done and um i mean it looks a little weird. It's not very easy to use just this twist grip has so much more throw than a normal pedal, but um i mean this is a good temporary measure, it's pretty solid, so that should work for us and now it is in forward so okay, we might actually Want to un detune some of the responsiveness.

This is, but also we don't know it's not under load yet so we'll have to see but wow, oh dude, all right. Let's try! Reverse oh wait. I just turned it off there. We go.

Okay, reverse! This is our first quarter. This is our first cartwheel reverse wow yeah, let's go drive it. Okay, everybody! Well, we've had a lot going into this and we're finally here ready to drive. Thank you go powersports and we got a sick, new race suit.

We need to show you too yeah guys, so we got this omp full cart, race, spec, it's a fire resistant, friction resistant. We got this from og racing and they make all different kinds of custom race suits. I mean, as you all can see. We chose all the colors, the design and everything on here, so yeah, we'll kind of walk you through this.

We got our go: powersports logo, our logo, og racing same on the back, and i mean this thing looks super cool, so make sure you check out the links in the description. If you need a nice hotel to stand in frisco or our new race suit, all right, we're gon na give this thing. Its first test drive power on contactor and forward good luck, brother all right. Hopefully it doesn't prank.

Okay, i can't even tell how fast it is, so power doesn't kick in until right about now, so you can just tell how bad our gearing is. Yeah guys. The one feature that we've never had is reversed. It's not limited in reverse at all, so we can go top speed backwards.

So that's not safe. Next video, that's what we do. We put a reversal, i'm just gon na b-roll over this footage anyways, because it's electric and you can't hear anything, but we should have stopped driving this thing as soon as we noticed how bad our gearing was, but we were just too excited. We actually ended up overheating the whole system, but at least we had some fun and got to see a drive, so this thing's probably a little deceiving with how quiet it is, but that that's insanely fast i mean i wasn't even close to top speed.

It was still pulling hard, so what's the like fun factor, how fun is it? It's super fun i mean being not as crazy and more like usable because, like the rotary you're, always worried, you're gon na, like bottom out or you're gon na grind the gears or something like that or the clutch is gon na break. With this thing, i trust it completely. There's no weird noises, it's just power and fun. So would a re-gear do anything jason yeah? I think this thing definitely needs a re-gear um.

I mean right now it's kind of got stupid top speed and it seems to be really suited for the track kind of just a good, fairly good handling part, and it's got nice good linear power. So i mean stay tuned for next time, because we're definitely going to re-gear this thing and take it to the track. Door's turn yeah. How are you feeling i'm ready to get suited up this suit? Alright, you ready joe yep.

I think we're rolling, oh yeah, so fun yeah guys. So i mean we've already talked about this, but this was very impressive. Build we're really happy with how it turned out. I mean we're surprised we even got it running so i mean.

Obviously, it wasn't exactly what we expected, but uh, given the motor we have and everything it's it's what it should be so going into this, build we're gon na need to add cooling to the back of the controller and maybe even a little kind of air duct Or something to help clean the engine or the motor too.

Thank you to go powersports og racing and the westin and frisco and we'll catch you next time.
