Electric conversion crawler build

Throttleout · Dec 18, 2019

Just curious, since your running direct drive. Will the motor free spin when letting of the throttle? As if you are going down a hill or need to roll back down a steep bank quickly? Nice work on the build maybe ill catch you one day I am in northern ky.

Very neat build! Looks awesome! How does it do in the rocks?

Evcrawler · Dec 23, 2019

Did great slow rock crawling. It was controllable more so than gas with a automatic.

Probably gonna go back to 39 reds because it will making everything more doable. It will help with weight, gearing, power, range, and easier to turn and turn sharper because with the treps I have to limit the steering.

Man this thing is cool. Keep the videos coming. I'd definitely love to see it in some slow technical stuff.

Took out the Curtis 500amp controller and put in a adjustable 1000amp Zilla controller and drive by wire pedal. Also adding another 7kwh of batteries. 2 weeks to get it ready for Feb Jam.

Pulled it apart. I could only take it so far before it got too expensive

That's no good, but understandable too. Going to swap back to a typical drivetrain in the chassis or scraped the whole thing?

22r and propane

Sounds good. :dblthumb:

Nothing like changing from a Supercharger to Electric to 22r and propane.

Ready for simple. Might but a little turbo on Iit

Well that was anticlimactic. I totally get it. But was hoping this was going to be a thing.

I've just been assuming the technology hasn't caught up yet.
