Did a few more runs today. Drove a total of 0.8 miles! Climbed the hill in third pulling 400 battery amps with 4 people in the car! Heatsink temp peaked at 28c. According to the pc program rtd explorer i consumed 7.8ah for the whole journey. Very impressed with the rtd program as i could actually see the motor amps graph climb as the hill got steeper. Despite running the controller at 8khz there is no noticeable noise. Only a tiny whine at low speed. Nothing like the curtis. I even managed an upshift from first to second. No problems.

All in a great test and proves its a viable vehicle. Next step 48v
