Hey from Hawaii and i use rock salt around the border of our garden and property boundary and never seen them for awhile. Did it twice almost a year and a half ago.
Spread a circle of diatomacous earth (sometimes called diatomaceous sand) around a plant they like and place bait inside the circle. Invasive slugs are attracted to beer (yes!). Diatoms are super sharp, and they cause the slugs to abrade and dry out.
for the snails... im a farmer from hawaii so all i can tell you is what works here: coreys PELLET form slug bait. just toss it all over the garden. done. you can get a box of it at walmart.
@@TheStuartstardust I think he said last episode he dropped that project because it would be too expensive. We haven't gotten an update on Model D though, the diesel tesla. Hoping to get some vids on that one soon.
Thanks for leaving in all the problems and troubles and not making it seem like it is instantly done. I know that, you know that, but man does it give "some people" a lot of confidence that they don't have skills to back up.
The input impedance of the meter is megaohms so it’s not telling you much, the leakage current could be micro amps. The leakage current will be due to the BMS itself. It’s important not to try to start it while the pack has a split in it (wire between them not connected), as current could try to flow through the BMS and blow it up. You were lucky that the crash sensor had tripped :)
Richrebuilds my dad's helper was from Trinidad. I became his helper later. 😂 He wanted to be called Black Joe. In California, they would gasp when I said, "Black Joe where do you want me to go." We've been fabricators since the 70s. People really don't understand what it takes to build a one-off vehicle. It's not like you call the factory for quick questions..lol. and parts stores are hilarious 😂. I'm sure you've gotten that experience 😂
Wow! What a great project. I really enjoyed this video and the skill that you and the team have in understanding how everything works and using that skill to create a new vehicle. Two thumbs up!
The beat will do 86 just fine. They're limited to 88 from the factory. Super cool to see this swap. Factory beats are so absurdly gutless. Watch out for snap oversteer though, they're light as hell up front
I have a selection of Small, 80`s Euro Fiats I rarely use these days, so I`ve been thinking about doing something like this, especially thanks to new emissions laws here in London, they are fundamentally banned.. My smallest one, a Panda 750, with 34bhp, Is 670kg-ish wet, my basic 1.0 45bhp Fiat Uno is about 720kg. Being 5 seater hatchbacks, theres a lot more room for batteries, & the rear axle area is fairly uncluttered (in fact the Panda has enough room for a live rear axle, thanks to them being available with 4WD, which also opens up the possibility of hybrid 4x4, with an electric transaxle on the back, & the petrol FWD left operational up front, for drive, charging, or range extending). Apparently a Beat is 760kg, so I`ll be interested in seeing your final performance figures..
This really shows the difference in electrical engine technology. I remember doing a quick look at Koenigsegg recently. They have two electrical engines listed, the Quark and the Dark Matter. The Quark weigh 29 Kg and is supposed to deliver 600 Nm of torque and 250 kW of power. The Dark Matter is larger at 39Kg but sports 800 HP or about 597 KW and 1250 Nm of torque. Now these are extreme, but I heard that the latest Bugatti has an even stronger ter KG electrical engine to support the ICE engine. Tesla also have some impressive electrical engines, but quite a bit heavier. The Model S Rear Small engine weigh in at 90 Kg and consumes up to 250KW or about 300 HP and have a max torque of 330 Nm. So it seems that electrical engines have been improved a lot faster than the development of new battery chemistry. We repeatedly hear about "the next big thing" in the battery business, and it alwasy seems that within ten years they will be incredibly improved. But looking back it's been these ten years for at least 30 years now, possibly longer.
I hope you find another back wheel, that Beat gonna be hella cool with those wheels lookin like rimz on there - get that thing done, I can't wait to see the progress!
They just need figure out how to work in an always on cloud connection and RFID tags to make sure you aren't using any unauthorized or expired scent modules. Then it could really be the juicero of air fresheners.
I'm from Trinidad, nice. The snail issue came and it's been a battle since. Most electric cars are the Chinese manufacturers BYD, MG, GWM. Hyundai has a few and so does the EU guys. Not many public charging stations, only Porsche has some free charging stations.
5:12 Grounds. You can see they use green/yellow instead of brown for ground. I would try to run a wire connnecting ecu and module cases to ground terminals and then to battery -ve. Sure you've thought of this, by the time I get to end of vid!!
Please incorporate the archamodo dash screen to the beat gauge cluster. And handle bar controls on the dash like you did with the ev ratrod it gives it the 'OEM' touch 👌. And props to you for keeping it short
I would assume the vehicle needs to have a backup for the speedometer even if it has a GPS based system. You need a fallback if the gps is not reachable. Great video. I enjoy those! 😄
God damn that shit looks so fucking complicated to me! Props to you guys for being able to figure All this shit out... Hope you guys get it up and running, would love to see it on the road!
This is something you probably already know, but when you have unexplained voltage like that, try to see how much current it can supply to see how leaky it is. I used to work on high voltage stuff and sometimes you'd pick up a large voltage difference like that, but if you tried to light a lightbulb or something there wasn't enough current to do so. In situations like that the case needed to be grounded to stop people from getting shocked with what was effectively a static charge.
Are you sure you can't eat the snails too, Rich? The French consider them a delicacy. Escargots - Nissan even named a tiny cargo van after them (S-Cargo)
The 'tilt sensor' is an inertia switch, that opens when it detects enough g-force. a tap with a screwdriver on it is usually enough to trigger. It's to shut down after a crash. Also...D-sub connectors on the outside of the batteries?? hmmm..
I don't know how to build electric anything, but I like seeing car projects like the Mini. I kinda thought we'd get to see this one finished after 3 episodes instead of in theory it'll work and do this. I get problems happen and not every project is smooth sailing. Oh, well. Wonder what the next build is going to be.
Use code RICH to get 55% off your first month at Drift.co drft.info/3WnHRQd
Is the discount code not working for anybody else? Says RICH discount code isn’t valid for the items in your cart
It's an electric octopus 😅
Hi from Trinidad
Hey Rich it would be cool to meet up, I'll come with my Honda beat here in Trinidad
@@KINGOVDECEPTION worked for me
You don't give us enough credit rich, we want the fiddly details, we want to do what you do so learning is essential.
I totally agree
He could double up on views by dropping a video for normies and one for us dorks, id probably watch both.
Yep 2nd channel Rich.
Yes I’m black and also agree
99% are never building an EV. If you wanted to build like him, you would
I can't believe Rich has roots in Trinidad and Tobago. Big up from Tobago Rich!
Makes perfect sence. Some of the best people
Welcome to Trinidad and Tobago. We are probably what we call "pumpkin vine" relatives as we are related to some Benoirs on my mothers side.
Trinidad carnivals are the best, they go on for days
SAME
His Mom was on one of his older videos,she's got a heavy accent and she's adorable
Hey from Hawaii and i use rock salt around the border of our garden and property boundary and never seen them for awhile. Did it twice almost a year and a half ago.
I do that here in Scotland for the slugs.... We get a LOT of slugs.!
I despise slugs, they make my skin crawl..! 😉 😉
Spread a circle of diatomacous earth (sometimes called diatomaceous sand) around a plant they like and place bait inside the circle. Invasive slugs are attracted to beer (yes!). Diatoms are super sharp, and they cause the slugs to abrade and dry out.
I know when that royalty free beat comes in that it’s going to be a sweet montage.
Great to have you in trinidad. What a suprise! One of my favorite utubers in my home country! Wish it was possible to meet you!🇹🇹
86 MPH is gonna be crazy in that car. Top speed with the ICE still in it was like 70. And that’s 70 mph at redline.
Pretty sure my Cappuccino was limited to 86mph or something. Definitely more than 70, and nowhere near redline. Was the Beat that different?
for the snails... im a farmer from hawaii so all i can tell you is what works here: coreys PELLET form slug bait. just toss it all over the garden. done. you can get a box of it at walmart.
I don't think there's Walmarts in Trinidad, but I imagine there's similar retailers selling it.😊
@@LouisSubearth Guess Rich will make a Ship Station commercial showing how he got it to his mom.
That WILL kill the snails
I can't wait to see this run. Honda beats are such quirky vehicles.
Yes - cool build! Btw also waiting for the Corvette electric conversion to run..
@@TheStuartstardust I think he said last episode he dropped that project because it would be too expensive. We haven't gotten an update on Model D though, the diesel tesla. Hoping to get some vids on that one soon.
@@AceEverett i know - im still waiting though 🤭😁
Ikr? Such a cute little convertible
The eBeat is an awesome idea. Gonna be fun!
"bEat"? 😄🙄
Thanks for leaving in all the problems and troubles and not making it seem like it is instantly done. I know that, you know that, but man does it give "some people" a lot of confidence that they don't have skills to back up.
The part where Rich Rebuilds something is my favorite! Thanks for showing us a small window into the chaos of conversions
Looks like me and Rich have alot in common. Big up from Guyana 🇬🇾 🇹🇹
Ok, good. That bms connection makes me feel better about the 'wtf why voltage?!?' issues.
You say this stuff is boring but this is the stuff I find the most cool and interesting. But I also cant wait to see the finished product.
Amazing project! You're a true DIY legend. Love the idea of converting a Kei car to electric.

Enjoy Trini bro, 🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹
I like this side of the builds. flashy cars are nice but it is nice to learn stuff too.

Wow! What a great project. I really enjoyed this video and the skill that you and the team have in understanding how everything works and using that skill to create a new vehicle. Two thumbs up!
Just bought your book, Uncle Rich. Yes...Looking forward to reading it.
Welcome to Trinidad my boi ,I had no idea you was part Trini ,hope you had some good roti and doubles oh and bake and shark 😂
Hey Rich I love your interview with Kim Java you guys have the right attitude I'm being a bridge between motorheads and all electrics
The beat will do 86 just fine. They're limited to 88 from the factory. Super cool to see this swap. Factory beats are so absurdly gutless. Watch out for snap oversteer though, they're light as hell up front
Rich should have split the battery pack and put half up front, and also bigger wheels and tires will give a higher top speed.
Man you in Trini? Get a box lancer
@@jockihm831 big facts
Hope you complete this build. I know this didn't get as many views, but this is bread & butter Rich Rebuilds!
Omg this would be so awesome with awd !!! ❤ great work Rich !!
❤ This is why I watch your channel, what you do is not easy but you make it look that way. Just amazing skills 👏
Nothing Beats a Rich E Build.
Nice work! Back to the kind of builds I like to see and the reason I started subscribing. Thanks Rick. Keep it up

'I was SWIMMING because I can SWIM' lmao
I enjoy all your videos but that little red Honda makes my day thanks rich.
Got me thinking all the possibilities. Thanks Rich, for anther informative video.
I tune in for that sick montage music. That beat is tight!

Rich thats so cool! Good luck on your house. Sounds like a fun project.
Loving the detail and process review. More content like this plz
I hope you find another back wheel, that Beat gonna be hella cool with those wheels lookin like rimz on there - get that thing done, I can't wait to see the progress!
Awesome and outstanding as always.Thanks for sharing and taking us along
Thank you for the great videos! Awesome to see dreams come true!
Love nerding out to this and nice Bell & Ross. Thanks for the consistent excelling Brother.
Great video, interesting seeing the troubleshooting on the EVs
These are my favorite kind of video. Keep it up Rich.
Jack up the back of the Archimoto and see if it registers a speed with the wheel off the ground.
Cherry it out with a nice paint job and interior
Nothing screams sustainability like needing to ship another package every 30 days😂😂
Perhaps the fact they are shipping smell for cars 😅
They just need figure out how to work in an always on cloud connection and RFID tags to make sure you aren't using any unauthorized or expired scent modules. Then it could really be the juicero of air fresheners.
If it's biodegradable there's nothing to cry about.
@@nextbizzy It has to be driven to your house though. It would be far more sustainable to send you 12 once a year.
@@nextbizzy ah, so they teleport it to the customers with zero emission tech 👏👏👏
Wow! You were in Trinidad! Awesome. That’s my home.
I'm from Trinidad, nice. The snail issue came and it's been a battle since. Most electric cars are the Chinese manufacturers BYD, MG, GWM. Hyundai has a few and so does the EU guys. Not many public charging stations, only Porsche has some free charging stations.
Great job. I want to see the rabbit on the dyno video.

I would assume the vehicle needs to have a backup for the speedometer even if it has a GPS based system. You need a fallback if the gps is not reachable.
Great video. I enjoy those! 😄
Same thought here, there must be a hall sensor on or in the electric motor.
Great job on the video Rich! Thanks for making it.
Damn impressive, I hope it's going to turn out awesome.
I remember when you had 100 followers, now 1 million, hell yeah bro.
What happened to Stevon?
basement renovations
He was fired for being a dumbass and endangering the public
He started his own youtube channel.
Rich and Steve fell out.. Rich gave his girlfriend the BBC and Steve found out about it..
proof
I actually prefer the technical videos, nice job, thanks for sharing.
Loved the troubleshoot part, almost makes me feel confident enough! haha
Thank you for biggin' up your Trini roots, brother @RichRebuilds
Can't wait for the next installation and it running on the ground!
Cheers guys 👍💪✌
Big up from Trinidad! 😝
Awesome video, this car looks like a lot of fun!
troubleshooting skills on point
Can't wait to see it when it's finished
God damn that shit looks so fucking complicated to me! Props to you guys for being able to figure All this shit out... Hope you guys get it up and running, would love to see it on the road!
Great work Rich! This is impressive.
This in an interesting project! 👍
I'm one of the nerds/virgins out there that loves these detailed conversion videos. Just checking in.
Snoozefest?! These are my second favorite Richrebuilds vids!

Liking the vibe in t&t
😊 congratulations,regards from Athens Greece...
man this project is so exciting! I love the honda beat.
Honda Beat-ER or Honda Beat-E
Can't wait to see this thing on the road. Thanks for the great content as always.
Steven says hi Uncle Rich!!! 🥺
This is great detail, thanks.
Are you sure you can't eat the snails too, Rich? The French consider them a delicacy. Escargots - Nissan even named a tiny cargo van after them (S-Cargo)
Didn’t know Rich was partly Trinidadian 🇹🇹 makes sense now
Rich, the speedometer can be gps assisted at best.
Purely relying on gps will give you a lot of speeding tickets in tunnels.
The 'tilt sensor' is an inertia switch, that opens when it detects enough g-force. a tap with a screwdriver on it is usually enough to trigger. It's to shut down after a crash.
Also...D-sub connectors on the outside of the batteries?? hmmm..
trinidad loves you man
I can't wait to see it run, it should be fun. 😀
Rich it's cool that you're in Trinidad 🇹🇹... I'm from Santa Cruz
You might get the gost voltage because the BMS is connected so it's giving you some ground.
Keep up this kind of content! Super interesting
Please do a Swift/Metro next. Underrated little cars 😂
Love this content

you got this Rich! sweet build
Speedo most likely has a backup in case of gps signal loss like in a tunnel.
i really cant wait to see where this goes and I hope you make a drift car soon that electric and light but drift car
Love this build🎉
Rich may be in Trinidad but where is Stevon?!
Thanks Rich.
Take me to trinidad
