Controller!

Ok, so I may have...I mean...I have...er...purchased a controller on eBay. I COULDN'T HELP IT! An Alltrax 7245. I know I know, too small. But it was such a good deal - $306 with free shipping, and it is apparently new. So, it will be my temporary controller so I can get a "feel" for the whole EV thing. I can always upgrade later and get what I paid for it if I sell it.

Needless to say, I am ridiculously excited. It is, after all, my very first conversion purchase, other than the 12V charger I ordered (that could be considered just another tool for the garage). So far it has been free battery collecting - very little commitment required. But now it's official: I am spending money on it.

Oh, and I am up to 9 batteries in the garage. I'd better stop collecting soon or the wife will notice. HA!
