Mike has been staying up too late. ( g ) But isn't that when the best ideas
come around. That's the best idea I've heard regarding home built hybrids.
How about a 4WD pickup set up that way? The transfer case etc. would be
there already. There would be more room for even dual 8 or 9 inch motors
for the dragster types with the payload capacity for the weight of the
batteries built in.
