I weigh 200lbs. I'll have to weigh the scooter, but I can lift it myself squatting to pick it up so my guess is around 200lbs for the scooter too. Looking at gearing it for 50-55 then as around town speeds are 45, but people drive 50-55. Probably a jackshaft at the swingarm pivot point and I...

Looking to electrify a 150cc Chinese scooter I bought. After welding up a new swing arm, this looks like it would work well.

Excuse me if I'm getting this wrong, but 3s 8ah for $299 doesn't seem to be that good of a deal for EV use. Wouldn't this be much better than 2 of those? http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__18210__turnigy_nano_tech_8000mah_6s_25_50c_lipo_pack.html

Awesome, thanks for that link. It looks like the race comes with it and is not part of the tube, so I'll just need to make a step just a hair shorter than the bearing height to position it correctly. Thanks.

I picked this front suspension up cheap: http://m.ebay.com/itm?itemId=251566450323 I've done some quick searches for head tube dimensions and can't seem to find any. I know I can measure when it gets here, but does anybody know of a good link to specs on these pit bikes? Specifically looking...

Building a ghettoblaster/boombox/ipod dock for a friend using a Tripath amp and itworks fine off the 12v PSU I have, but I have some old laptop batteries and figured I'd like to make it portable. Anyone know of a cheap circuit or board available? I did a couple of searches and checked...

This may be of some help, a steel front caliper mount do you have a 32 or 36 hole hub up front?

Well the mill isn't up and running yet, but there is an excuse. A Boxford lathe is getting upgraded with a freq drive and new controls.

Mill was $600. A lot better than the average around here ($1000-1500+). The guy we picked it up from had a chain fall to load it with and a cherry picker was used to unload. A few pieces of blackpipe made rolling it around a bit easier, hey it worked on the pyramids. I may take a community...

Will do, I'm converting over a mini Oberon keg to transport my homebrew, so that will be following me. Will do, no code as of yet though. Still figuring it out as I've never run a manual lathe yet, maybe a pendant would be helpful in playing around with the lathe before diving into the code...

This one is my buddies, I just picked up a CNC sherline lathe a couple months ago. We sort of have a community workshop going on between us. It did come with a shoebox full of tooling and eBay provided 3 servo motors / drivers. He also has a freq drive for it. Looks fairly tight, but he's...

A buddy of mine and I picked this up today, should be fun.

Hmm, a couple triangular TIGed plates holding the head, top and bottom tubes together may have helped.

According to the site, I saw a can length of 55mm vs. 77mm (180KV vs. 130KV)

180KV is 26mm shorter. Looks like the 130KV is better overall then. More motor, mass, surface area for heat dissipation, and more gearing friendly. Thanks Guys.
