Hello all,

Inspired by ForkenSwift and Ben Nelson, a few years ago I decided to try my hand at a low budget EV conversion. Progress has been slow. It's been a "side of my desk"/carport sort of project that I've worked on now and then, but it now seems to be picking up momentum. I now have a Hitachi 4100 forklift motor mounted and bolted up (clutchless) in my 95 VW Cabrio. I'm planning on going with an open ReVolt Controller and I'm on ecomodder to learn more about them before I click the purchase button. I'm just starting to look around on the site. Any tips or suggestions in any way related to ReVolt controllers are welcomed.

Thanks!
