I have some measurements for where the axles shoud exit the motor module. So I'm going to adjust things so that they exit where they should. And I want to get started on making the brackets for the motor and transmission to secure them to the motor module frame.

The video goes through how it was done.



The need for an engine lift is demonstrated again. The motor and transmission slip off hydraulic jacks and skid to the floor. No damage to me. No obvious damage to the motor or transmission. I *REALLY* need to get a darned hoist!

The position of the motor and transmission is low on the frame but does not protrude from the bottom of the frame. So the bottom of the motor module can be smooth. This is a good thing for aerodynamics. This may not be so great for ducting air to what needs cooling (motor controller, DC/DC converter). I'm sure we'll come up with something.
