Electric Land Rover

No build pics or threads. I got inspiration from my dad who has a similar set up on a recumbent trike.

I do have this video of me chasing a van...

You'll have to excuse the two SJs on my drive... This was before I could afford my lovely landy.

Motor:
Home page - H40 series
Batteries:
Radio Control Planes, Helicopters, Cars, Boats, FPV and Quadcopters - Hobbyking - Any selection to get correct voltage etc.
And I got a guy from Endless-sphere.com • Index page to make me a controller - but there are others.
Then you just need to work out what throttle you wanna do... I went for a thumb throttle as I was able to maintain speed better - the acceleration would have made it near unridable with a twist throttle.
I originally had my set up on a bmx. But the shorter wheelbase meant I was always pulling wheelies! Came off it a fair few times.

ta, will have a look
