Pictures! Pictures! *smile*

I've been a lurker, but recently have ordered parts and am going to see about building the 500 amp controller. Over the last week or two I have been reading this entire post. I'm up to page 350 right now. I figured I'd better start posting as I think I need to have some input before I can post photos & stuff.

One comment: Someone asked about building their own power board from 16oz (roofing) copper and using fiberglass or carbon fiber to separate them. Well, two things: One: You can't use carbon fiber. It conducts electricity!! Two: If you use fiberglass and epoxy resin you will need six layers of 6 oz. fiberglass to get about .06" of thickness. (I say this because I know for a fact that 2 layers makes .020".)

OK, back to our regularly scheduled show.
