It's never the mistakes i mind - it's the cost.
I just hope i don't get a motor that's TOO big for any car.
There was one there that LOOKED about 14 inches in diameter and maybe 20 to 24 inches in length (a main drive motor). I didn't go with it because there was a dent on one of the vent covers - looked like it might of made contact with the spindle under it. It was 24 2volt cells in the forklift (very dead of course) so that's a 48 volt controller that MIGHT still be good. I'm thinking that when i go back i might pick up that motor and controller if they are still in one piece.
I just wish i had a better idea of what i was doing, but i'll learn.
