modules installed - 10.04.2011, 05:59 PM

Got the modules installed last night and went for a night run! WOW what a difference the lipo conversion made. First ran at 66% current limit(200 amps) then in full power mode(300 amps at 74 volts in theory, though in unlimited mode it bursts higher amps). Full power mode is downright scary - I seriously am in need of a better throttle(only 90 degrees of twist makes for a twitchy ride) - I would like to get a 120 degree throttle to add some resolution for sure. The gearing tops it out at around 43mph and it gets there in a hurry! At 25, if you grab full throttle, it will throw you off the back unless you let up quickly - feels like a kx250 when it hits the powerband! I dialed in a progressive curve and went back to 80% current limit(240 amps) - theoretically limiting the power to around 20HP, which is plenty for a 150lb machine. I am totally psyched!
Oh...before i dialed back the power, i managed to rip the primary drive belt in two(hanging off the foot peg). I hope to get some body panels done this week to cover the batts/wiring a bit. Here is a picture:
