Here's my latest project. This Jeep has been around since about 2018 and has gone through a bunch of revisions. I finally built a rear sub-frame with a 1" custom axle and switched over to a brushless setup.
I am using a 24v 30A brushless controller and a 48v 1800w brushless motor. Two 12v23Ah Dakota Lithium batteries provide power.
Here is my first test ride...
And my son's first test ride after I actually added a brake.
.
Here are some pictures.
Finished under the hood (minus the e-brake, here). A bit of a rat's nest in the middle at this point with a 24v-12v buck converter that handles the extra lights and original electronics. A strategically placed relay allows the use of the original power switch and all other 12v electronics while running 24v to the controller without having to change any switches.
About to line up the sprockets... 10 and 53 tooth #35.
Bench testing...
Top view of the new hall effect throttle and the e-brake switch.
Bottom view of the new hall effect throttle and the e-brake switch.
Building the rear sub-frame...
Bonus shot of the 36v Dune Buggy...
