Thank you!

Thank you. Glad to help. Cheers

Awesome. Glad to help.

I don't have a clamp meter, someday I will probably invest in one but for the time being, specs are just based on the component specs. Honestly, those can vary from batch to batch of components, and sometimes manufacturers can over or under state the actual specs.

@@chrismakesstuff1 Yea I know, the motor specs can just be randomly listed really. Not as bad as flashlights or batteries though lol. That's why I was interested. If you ever want one check out the kaiweets ht206D, it's well regarded and only like $30. plenty of reviews and youtubes too

Thanks for the heads up on the clamp meter. They have come down in price, but with so many tools on my wish list, the clamp meter just keeps getting shifted to the bottom of the list. Lol​@@gg-gn3re

Thanks. I appreciate it

I've heard it referred to as lantern, hourglass works too

My best tips are noted throughout the video.

Yes sir. Thanks for posting this

Thank you. Cheers.

Thank you. Cheers.

I have seen some bike builds do that with chain and belt drives. Thank you.

@@chrismakesstuff1 forever on a quest to figure out some cool akira style ebikes : )

Thanks Mr C.

Still physically working. I have noticed they don't like to turn off when the sun comes up, but that could also be caused from trees blocking the sunlight

Thank you. Sorry to hear yours is peeling. I've done many with priming and direct to surface, but never ran into peeling or delaminating issues. So unfortunately I don't have any helpful tips for that.

That would be cool.

Thanks for your comment.

The motor is a "AC geared motor" available in different speeds from Mcmaster.com. They have gotten pricey lately and one could probably be sourced on amazon for cheaper. Thanks for the sub, and your project sounds fun.

@chrismakesstuff1 thank you for the prompt reply. I will check it out.

@@chrismakesstuff1 did you then just attach the pulley to the motor?

@@maryschuler9512 correct. just a set screw on the shaft to hold it in place.

Inner tubes are another option. But inner tubes will pop if you run over a nail or spike, slime will just seal it.

oh yea? well back in the 1850s we just used wooden wheels!

Lol. Termites were the biggest concern back then.​@@gg-gn3re

It's not too bad a process, a little bit of trial and error is to be expected

Wrong.

Short answer is yes and no. I've changed connectors when I changed from twist to thumb throttle, but I've run into compatibility issues with other setups. I don't remember off hand which ones didn't work but hopefully someone can chime in and help with the specifics. Cheers

@@chrismakesstuff1 thanks that’s verry helpful

Well the "door lock" switch is the key in the throttle, that literally just needs to be shorted to be on. So you can use any on/off switch. Then the throttle is 3 wires, but there's no telling what resistances it is set to, for example: on one motor it can be like 10 to 1000 ohms and another could be 2000 to 4000 ohms it really doesn't matter. When you are designing the internal components to read the resistance sent by the throttle you can just say 10 ohms = 10% power OR 1000 ohms = 10% power it doesn't matter at all so the compatibility can be all over the place. So to be compatible you need something that is similar range I guess They usually are pretty similar so when you buy a separate one it should be "suitable for most" of them

Battery specs are discussed in the video

Interesting. I didn't know that.

This is a review for the 4x4 lift. I've never worked with the 2wd lift so I can't really contribute.

Thank you. When I first started working with Epoxy, I too used kits. Then I realized I was essentially paying 5x more for fancy packaging. There is no wrong way to do it either kit or custom.

That's awesome. Thanks for watching.

Thanks for watching. Cheers.

No problem. Thanks for watching. I appreciate the views from the country that made some of the best cars, saab.

Technically you don't have to solder, but I'd suggest it on anything that moves like a vehicle. Solder has less electrical resistance and won't rattle loose.

definitely solder the connections, do not just use tape lol these bullet plugs used are good for <15 amps (prob 10 most) so be careful before using them for something like this 30-40 amps use the "battery quick connect 50amp" ones they are ugly 2 plug and grey. OR a MC4 connector for solar which are good 30-40 amps. I don't know of any better ones, unfortunately most connectors are terrible for anything over 10 amps.

Could be as simple as 1 button not quick enough or maybe a faulty unit, hard to say.

@@chrismakesstuff1 I wish I could show you a video

Run time depends a lot on battery size 3ah, 5ah, 8ah for example. Also weight, water current, etc. Roughly speaking, a 5ah on the single motor using intermittently lasted 4 hrs.

Thank you

Thank you. Glad I could help.

I would think it would be ok.

@@chrismakesstuff1 How is the battery holding up?

Cheers

Sorry to hear you're experience varied. I've been using it for over a year, and I'm happy with it.

Thanks

Very well could be. It's a tiny motor driving the mechanism, and if it's not mounted properly or with enough clearance it will struggle.

Thanks. I bet a setup like this would work well for plowing snow.

I really like their kits. The only thing I wish they would include are the bolts for the torsion keys. In the rust belt, the threads have a habit of disappearing.

The plastic trans is less than ideal. I clean off my machines after every use, and still would not recommend a plastic transmission.

Lol. Thanks. Unfortunately with 1500 subscribers, this channel isn't big enough for companies care about.

Glad you found it helpful. Cheers

Most of the 3000w + motor kits run on 72v systems. The cost of 72v battery packs are significantly more expensive than 48v. I'm guessing that is why those diy builds are not as popular.

It's held up great to date. No cracks or hazing, but like all Epoxy it will "yellow" over time. It's not the vibrant white, but looks more like natural rock.

@@chrismakesstuff1 thank you!!

Thank you

Dark Grey would have looked cool, I just used what I had sitting around

Thank you. I appreciate it. In hindsight I should have made the frame 1-2" longer. When the tires are fully inflated they just barely touch.
