Hello everyone !
I can't get this shit eaten grin off my face!
Hope it don't cause wrinkles. Day two has been a blast. I was up
till two am last night charging and equalizing batteries. Today I spent a
little more time checking the batteries, cables and contactor, everything
seems to be holding up great. I took the Might Max out for a spin but
before I did I turned down the current limit a tad. What a difference a
tad makes !
I finally got the T-Rex fan to come on,
unfortunately I had to terrorize the local wild life to do it. Around my
neighborhood there is no such thing as flat ground. Usually I'm pulling a
6 to 8% hill half the time the other half I'm going down hill. The
little truck pulls these hills as if they weren't even there. Today I
tried upshifting to third and fourth gear. The torque of the big Kos just
won't quite, it had no trouble pulling the steepest grades around in third gear,
wheel spinning power when I mashed the pedal to far. It's so easy to go
fast that I think that's going to be MY biggest problem in getting long
range.
I put 15 miles on my little truck today, the Kos was
barely warm when I got home and the T-Rex was cool. I love that rev
limiter, in first gear I could floor the pedal, pull the hills and only
draw about 40 amps. The T-Rex is going in and out of rev limit ever so
smoothly while keeping the truck at the 20mph speed limit in the
neighborhood. Then I changed the rev limit to 4500 rpm, and just as
advertised, it cut back at exactly 4500. Tomorrow I think I'll try setting
it up for 6000 RPM.
I just can't stop grinning...............
Thanks All
Steve
