New Controller

I've just got the controller from Cloud Electric in the USA. It is a Logisystems 144V 750Amp. I've recently heard that Logisystems have teamed up with Netgain Motors and the new controllers are red in colour, same as the motors.

One thing to watch out for is the throttle pot as the standard ones don't have a fine enough control at low speed so the motor would be jerky. The new logisystems controllers come with the proper pot as part of the price. Here's some photos when I unpacked it and then when I fixed the cooling fans to it.

Car Show


Again I've had to put the project aside for awhile for personal matters. However I did go to the car show at the local PCYC and they did have some beautiful vehicles there. You just can't go past the Mustangs and Corvettes and I fell in love with the T-Bucket hot rods. I reckon a bucket would be a beaut EV, look at the room at the back for batteries! (Do I have a blue theme?)

I couldn't get the X7 there so was very disapointed. Definitely next year. There was the Suzuki hatch from Suzi Autos that I saw at a previous show.
