Hi guys,

Some people recommended that I post on this log to keep everyone update on my build. Some things on my to do list are to upgrade the BMS and CAN loop to the EVMS V3 as well as add forced air cooling on my series wound motor using some sort of Brushless EDF. I will keep you guys updated as soon as I plan out a path to go on and hopefully sell some parts to afford the upgrade.

Hi Gray, I know you have a lot of photos out there on the Internet, but a few here would be great, especially the early work fitting the electrics to the chassis.

I built an electric Locost a few years ago and don't remember any of those terms. I bought a "motor", and a "controller", and a "battery". Actually two batteries. But Gray is way ahead of me on this.
