[Updated 12/27/2020] Milwaukee M18 and an converted alternator

[LikeTheSandwich]

I'm working on my first build. I have an alternator from an old Dodge or Chrysler, I'm not sure (I got it for free from a friend) that was converted to run as a DC brushless motor. I have a hall effect throttle, 3x Milwaukee M18 batteries for 54V nominal, and a buck converter for the commutator.

So after that test, I've started some body work, but I've gotten the electronics figured out. Here's what I've got:

Did you get the go-kart part yet? I'm sure we all want to see what this motor conversion can do.

Not yet. Garage is too full of stuff, could be weeks or months away still. :/

Are you building a frame from scratch or do you have something else in mind?

I keep an eye out on case I see one for a good price, but what I have right now is a complete front end and rear end of a kid's ATV. If I don't find a good pre-built I'll build the main body and weld on the pieces I have.
