Crimpin'

Not a huge update but more motion in the right direction. I have spent some time crimping the 2/0 cable to make various connectors on the control board as well as the connections to the motor.

The layout on the control board is not very straight, but that is what I needed to do to keep the contactors from being too close to each other. I may still add a piece of lexan or something in between them so the chance of touching the most positive and most negative side is smaller. I ran out of heat shrink so I did not finish the last lug on the motor, but more heat shrink is coming soon.

I hope to have the car in a test mode in 2 to 3 weeks. Wheels up tests and maybe wheels on the ground tests. That is very exciting.
