Looked at the car again last weekend. The engine seems like it is running well. Not sure what we heard last time. My buddy James says there may be too much oil in it and the oil is a bit old. Maybe I'll change the oil before showing it to anyone to sell. It is exciting though that I will be listing it tomorrow or Friday on craigslist. Hopefully I'll get a few people to come by this weekend and check it out, then James and I will pull it the following weekend.
Also, I ordered the Open ReVolt controller from Paul and Sabrina yesterday. I asked Paul about a higher amp version so the controller will be able to handle upgrades I may do in the future and he said it was another $50 for the 700amp version. So, for $690 I will have a 144V 700amp controller which saves me about $1000 on the controller budget. I am about to buy a soldering iron on ebay and I ordered a heavy duty soldering gun and a multimeter from Harbor Freight. This project is starting to get some legs. Once the soldering iron arrives I can practice a bit on some cheap Fry's boards before starting the build on the controller.
