Cheers for the help, its coming along ok, ive driven it briefly direct to battery. Ive had a speed controller wired up and working correctly, unfortunately i jabbed my multimeter into the "battery capacity" 2 pin plug to see what it was sending out...unfortunately i was rushing and had the...

Cheers, was thinking along the lines of putting in some switchable automotive relays and trying to do it that way but was struggling coming up with a circuit, i wont bother now anyway those relays youve listed are a good price!

Anybody have any links to a simple schematic for putting in a reverse switch when using a speed controller without reverse on it? Can you reverse the polarity to an e scooter motor between the controller and the motor?

Undecided on buying a 350w e scooter motor or mobility scooter motor, the sticker on this states peak wattage is 800watts, im struggling to find a cheap motor controller to cope with that, also how easy would it be to fix a sprocket to this? Cheers...

Got a little ebay fund building up so will probably purchase a motor shortly, one last thing before i do, radiator fan motors? Anybody used one for this?

Cheers, its not so great close up!, i wont be posting in the "show us your welds" thread 😟 was going to make a dash panel for the switches but this way keeps them out of the way off your feet ....i mean my boys feet 😆

Thought i would add a pic of the car so far, dont be too harsh, been doing this on tea breaks at work and when i should have been working! Ive already reversed the front steering arms as had my ackerman back to front :ack2:

Cheers , problem being im in the uk. Ive said to him to grab what he can 7ah upwards, like you say if i can get 4 7ah batts and pair them up should be ok? Got tonnes of car batteries but been advised against using, i would need to fit a trailer to pull them aswell! The motor ive seen on ebay...

Cheers, ive got someone on the scout for some house alarm batteries that should do for now, eyeing up a 450 watt 24v mobility scooter motor at the moment too should do the job !

Sorry meant putting in a switchable resistor on the signal wire from the throttle, not on the wiring to the motor! Ive already got a couple of sprockets to start with and ill take it from there, it will be single wheel drive, ive got a mini moto chain, hoping its the same chain size as the...

Hi and cheers for the reply. I keep looking and toying with the higher rated stuff but think im getting carried away! To be honest, a friend at work dabbles in mig welding but isnt great, the more i look on these forums the more i want to scrap it and start again. Think ill finish this one...

Hi, ive recently started a go kart project for my son who is only 4. I had originally intended to "re-arrange" his bright yellow disgusting damaged 6v power wheels, onto a simple metal chassis to resurrect it, but i quickly got carried away and now have ended up building (if not a little shoddy...
