You don't happen to have the exact specs on the lovejoy couplings and spyder do you?

I am almost finished with my EV, but I stayed away from the lovejoy couplings because they couldn't handle the torque. At least the ones that fit my motor shaft couldn't handle it, so I had to design one and have it machined up.

The lovejoy connections seem to be measures in inch-lbs for torqure, so you should make sure that your coupling has a least 3500 inch-lbs for the least chance of things going wrong.

Now get that fixed so we can see more pics of the EV driving and not being towed!
