Good idea on the truck service centre, there's actually one right around the corner from my house.
Yeah that's a similar project except that bloke seemed to have more tools and machining experience. I'm handy with tools but I've never worked with metal.
Every time I think this project is going to fail I come across something that makes it seem entirely possible, if not easy. Which is great, and I can't wait to have it finished.
Can anyone tell based on the specs of my motor, remembering that it's from a forklift, whether it's dc wound series or not? I've had an offer for an Alltrax AXE 4845 24-48v controller that I think will be great for at least the first phase of the build - getting it on the road. I think this will only work with a series wound motor but I could be wrong. The motor is still sitting in the shed untouched, I'm going to take it apart and have a look, and hopefully test it after a cleanup. I will post photos on here if what I'm seeing doesn't make any sense...
