IF IT HITS THE ROAD THIS SUMMER!!! HAHAHA!
I guarantee that it will be "done" 1 day after I get all that crap in the mail, like the lugs and the PB-6 variable resistor (throttle). By done, I mean that it will be illegal to drive.
Today, before working at Sylvan, I chopped off the measuring things of the $2.99 volt meter from Harbor freight. I then soldered on some longer wires, and attached rings to the ends. It will be my "gas gauge" right up front. Also, I'm going to use another $2.99 volt meter as an Ammeter. It will measure voltages in the range of 0 to 0.1v, but the screen will show it as 0 to 100. 0 will mean 0 amps, and 100 will mean 400 amps. I'm using a 1.6 foot piece of the 2 gauge copper as my "shunt". What? Don't do that! Copper blah blah blah not as good as blah blah blah! haha!
It's true that copper varies its resistance as temperature changes, but we'll see what happens, yo.
