Step 8Electronics
This part of the project was a strange mixture of quality and last minute bodging.
- I used two 12v 32amp batteries
- A 75amp 24V speed controller made by 4QD in England- quite pricey but really reliable
- 5 LED battery condition meter
- Plunger pot for throttle
- Lots of cable
- Connectors for batteries
- Two 24v 300W DC motors
The picture for this step show the basic set up, and is not a circuit diagram.
4QD's site has extensive information on electric vehicles and how to work out battery, motor and speed controller configurations.
The choice of my configuration was analytically chosen from other electric vehicles like the Built For Fun Racer as these had the similar speed and weight I had in mind. This guy has indirectly help me with this project and his site also has plenty of information and plans too.
