Well, it's been a few days of being a daily driver and the Kelly NEEDS replacing. We have found a few work arounds for hills, such as timing the drive when no one is around, and going into 1st so the car will move at 15 MPH!
I have placed my left over EV parts up for sale to make money for my controller replacement. I am hoping to get the new Synkromotive controller to get the EV running, and slowly build the Open Source Controller to add all sorts of features, and probably use it in EV2.
