that came out really nice. the two suggestions i have are 1. the inner axle bearings are a must. 2. you really should have a deadman(large capacity kill switch) switch on any electric vehicle, the speed control can weld itself together if it fails and you have no way to kill power.

There are inner axle bearings. I bored holes for the bearings in the two Aluminum plates that support the rear axles. They are hidden by the universal joints.
There is a key that turns the power off but I intend to add a dash with a kill switch. We have a lot of plans for this yet but I haven't had time to work on it lately. Maybe this fall we will implement "Phase 2" of the build and I will post pictures.

I am looking forward to Phase 2, this was a really cool project.
